Before I begin my details, here's a disclaimer:
I am a HUGE Harry Potter fan. HUGE. Own the books, the DVDs, some bookmarks, those extra library books she wrote, AND I'm overseeing the planning and organisation of a release party for the 7th book.
Now onto the question:
I often see HP fans all gather on online communities and go, "OMGOSH what's going to happen in the next book/movie?!?" and they all start up rumors and stories and theories and then when the book actually comes out they all turn around and go, "OMGOSH don't tell me ANYTHING!"
Like I know that guessing is way different than actually knowing, but what if you guess and then it turns out you're right? Then the book feels spoilt because it confirmed what you guessed and therefore didn't present anything different.
Personally, as a big HP fan, I'd rather just sit back and relax until the book actually comes out, cuz then I can enjoy it 100% without weird theories running around in my head.
What do you think?

I am a big HP fan but I'm not obsessed. I'm not in a fan club or anything. I think it's better to wait until the book comes out. I don't want to know the plot ahead of time.

oh man... i'm a huge HP fan too..and i find myself as a member of myspace groups and other things dedicated to the wizarding world...and i do find theories annoying at times...except when they are really good. some of them strike me as astonding at how some people could think of that because it can be entirely true. I'm honestly like you in the sense that i can't wait for it but i like guessing...and it gives me something for my mind to mull over as i wait for the next one. Plus, it makes it a hell of a lot intresting whenever she does release a bit of information...
like the confirmation that dumbledore really is dead!! that ruined a whole bunch of theories (and an entire website...haha)

Also a HUGE fan however, as with anything rumors get started because the general population cannot be honest with themselves and keep the world REAL, they need to make things up to keep their life exciting

Go watch the news.... not only is it in the forums, its actually being talked about on the news by J.K. Rowling.. nobody is making anything up, as they usually do here on Y!A.

guessing is cool because 9/10 of the time people are wrong
