I say NO... You need to let people have time to read it. Most of us aren't speed readers. I want to enjoy the book. I find it absolutely disrespectful to ask questions here and spoil the book for others. Any other opinions?

Ok... clarification here. I believe that if you are going to talk about it NOW, a WARNING should be put on the question. I'd be more than happy to avoid the question. and BTW, you can see the questions on the OPENING PAGE...

To Ed M: Is a Week too much to ask? Most people will have probably read the darn thing by then. I'm on chapter 18 and I know I'll have it done here by Friday.

I agree with you guys that he should stay away from spoilers, but I also think people should do a better job at ALERTING people to the spoilers. I accidentally read a spoiler last week, and I was SO upset...the person put the Spoiler in the TITLE of their question, they didn't even try to hide it....I really should've flagged the person, now that I think about it, people are so insensitive sometimes.
The best advice I can give you is to do what I did: stay away from anything Potter-related altogether, until you have read the book. Now that the book has actually come out and people live to ruin great things for other people, you may want to just avoid the internet altogether until you are finished. It would be one less distraction to your reading anyway :)

I think it'd be more polite when people didn't put spoiler info in the header of the question. Indeed, even if you avoid the Books & Authors category, they do show up on the front page too.
But questions like 'Harry Potter question?' or 'About Deathly Hallows?' should be fine, then you can avoid the spoilers by just not clicking them.

just don't read the answers and they won't spoil it for you. I do admit it takes more than a couple of days to read a book like Harry Potter.

I read it and I actually didn't sleep on friday night. That was the whole point that i sped read and didn't go on the computer so it wouldn't spoil. You are the one on books and authors so it's not our fault. I always put SPOILER WARNING but still.

You are so right. People need to get the chance to read it first. I love Harry Potter and if someone would or does ruin it for me i would be upset and not very happy. It isnt fair.

then i suggest you to stay away from the net specially such sites that discuss harry potter
you cannot tell the whole world or make them try to find sense that they can start asking questions only when you have finished the book

I think it is OK. If you are currently reading the book and see a Question that references do not read it.

I only tell the plot if they ask. If they want to know without reading, I'll tell them, but otherwise I won't tell them.
