HARRY DIES, SNAPE KILLS VOLDEMORT, DUMBLEDORE RETURNS

Just messing with the people who haven't read the book yet.

I myself am popping down to the bookstore this afternoon. I've had an advance peek at the story (*cough* when it was leaked *cough*), but if you are a bookworm like me, you know there is nothing that replaces feeling the paper beneath your fingers. Besides, the text was almost illegible in some places, and I was in a rush to get to the end before it came out so I could taunt my friends. ;)

I'll miss posting fake spoilers and watching them scatter.

I've seen some people complain that the end was awfully contrived, with Voldemort being beaten on an obscure technicality of wandlore.

To these, I say: Run the book through a mental filter:

(If your brain has no perl interpreter installed, well tough). Trust me, the book and especially the ending becomes much funnier.
