Every time i've ever tried answering a question about the talked about Harry Potter series, which I love as well...I noticed that they try to spoil on the last book, which i'm currently reading...I already know i'm behind on...But why do they want to ruin the best parts of a book and expect everyone to have the same reaction to what they had? If your gonna read a book your gonna find out your own right? Please give complete and honest opinions on this question!

Spoilers were a cottage industry on the Internet when the book was released. Just the nature of pop culture.

I think that its just because everyones so excited that they finished the book, that they want to discuss it with everyone. A stragtey that I used was that I didn't go onto the computer till I was done it. That way I wouldn't get spoiled and I could then talk about it. But I think that if somebody is going to ask a question about the new Harry Potter book, the they should say so.

You are rigth, but there have been doing that in this forum, and anywere you are around, sometimes it's not even the purpose, but if you ask something about the subject, you migth get some information you don't want to have yet.
What i mean is that not everyone knows if you already read it, if you have finished it, or if you have start the reading, many of them just want to give an opinion.
I'm behind / but really behind since i hadn't had the time to read the sixth, wich i'm just finishing so i can start the seventh, so i'm staying away of the subject for a while, because i don't want to hear about it, and i know if i ask, or read any questions about Harry Potter, i migth get some advances on what i haven't read yet!

As in other high profile books, some people want to naturally discuss it. When you engage others in conversation about the books, you need to remember that they will assume you have read the book. The best course of action is to go ahead and read the book, and keep it in mind when discussing with others that they may have not finished the book. I have not read one of the Harry Potter books, because I have zero interest in them. However, if someone is talking to me about them, I listen and politely explain that I haven't read them.

I would like to discuss the book with others, but I also agree with you. People should not give away the endings to ANY book... but I heard my fair share of "spoilers" before readingthe book, and found that the spoilers were wrong. Basically, don't believe what you read; also, be careful which questions you try to answer.
Enjoy the book!

I know, i had to hurry to read it on the weekend it came out, cause i knew people would spoil it for me (which i didn't quite manage and guess who spoiled it... my BF! it was an acident but i was furious!) i think the people who tell the people who spoil it are just as bad, they say they are only going to tell the people who are not going to read it, but the only reason they want to know is so that they can spoil it for everyone else! think people! use some logic!

Because they're mean people who don't care about harry potter that find it funny to spoil it for other people.

i don't think all of them do it intentionally. some may have assumed that everyone has finished the book already. however those that do spoil the book on purpose are just as bad as Voldemort.
