PSA for Harry Potter Fans
Other Harry Potter fans are probably a little smarter about this than I am, but just in case, I suggest that you not read any Harry Potter fanfic from new sources for the next few days. My cousin emailed me a link to a "great new fanfic", and it was not great. It also had a little note at the end that what I'd read was actually the epilogue from the end of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Lovely.
My cousin claims she actually didn't read the story and just forwarded the email to me, but the email didn't look forwarded, so that's strange. And if I'm really spoiled, then I'm irritated as heck, and I'm now tempted to check the last page just to see if I really was spoiled, which irritates me too. (I'm not going to do that, but the temptation is still there.)
I know there are photos of the book pages supposedly floating around, so I guess it's possible that someone typed up the ending and disguised it as fanfic, but what I read is not what I want the official ending to be. It was just too wrapped up, and that's all I'm going to say because I don't want to inadvertently spoil someone in case I was really spoiled myself.
Maybe it's silly that this is coloring my mood so much, but I'm not as excited about getting my book now as I was. Whoever put that "fanfic" up stinks whether it's really the ending or not.
