Harry Potter article: NO SPOILERS

The "weapon" spoken of is an orb that supposedly contains a prophecy having to deal with Harry and Voldemort.

Harry decides to break into the Ministry of Magic and steal the orb before the Death Eaters can get to it, but he is confronted by them once he releases it from its protected base. While escaping the Death Eaters, the Prophecy Orb is broken. In a wizard duel with Bellatrix Lestrange, Sirius Black is killed.

Harry's short duel with Bellatrix is interrupted by Voldemort's return, which in turn is interrupted by Dumbledor's return. Dumbledore and Voldemort duel. Voldemort realizes he cannot defeat Dumbledore and attempts to possess Harry to get Dumbledore to kill them both at the same time, but Dumbledore doesn't fall for it. Voldemort and Bellatrix get away, but the other Death Eaters are caught by the Order and returned to Azkaban, where it is believed they will not stay long as the dementors have all left.

Back at Hogwarts, Dumbledore explains to Harry how the Orb only contained a record of the Prophecy, and that it being destroyed meant that Voldemort would never learn the whole prophecy, as predicted by Prof. Trelawney before Harry was born. The Prophecy, in short, ultimately states that as they have the same powers (Voldemort transferred some of his power to Harry when he tried to kill him), neither Harry nor Voldemort can live while the other survives, indicating that one of them must kill the other in order for the war to end.

I have no idea what any of that means, but apparently it spoils the movie so I just had to post it. Also, rumour has it:

BELLATRIX KILLS RON

VOLDEMORT KILLS SNAPE

HARRY KILLS VOLDEMORTE


I figure the book deserves equal coverage. Finally I leave you with a quote from an amazingly spastic Harry Potter fan:

So, i'm a Harry Potter fan. Unapologeticly so. Eagerly awaiting the last book. However, it seems wherever I turn, some motherfucker seems determined to divulge secrets and key plot points. I've seen paid ads flashing spoilers in large letters. I've seen asswipes with these same reveals in their goddamn avatar.

Ignore them, you say? Hard to do, when they crop up everywhere. Even worse, I read fast. In fact, I don't really read individual words, but blocks of type. So by the time I see what's there... well, i've seen what's there.

I'd really like to be able to browse this, my favorite forums, this week without ruining a book i've been waiting years for. Why in the hell do people find this amusing? What do they get out of it? Is there any way to petition Lowtax to at least dump the spoiler ads? Or will I simply be mocked out of town for being "thin-skinned" and liking a "children's book"?

I'd like to introduce these fuckers to my wand- a regulation-sized Louisville Slugger, applied liberally about the head and shoulders.
