Why would you post that about Harry Potter? Are you trying to ruin it for all of us?

Seriously, I have been deliberately avoiding any site that might have Potter spoilers on it in hopes of READING THE ENDING IN THE BOOK! Why would anyone expect that a blog about politics would have Potter spoilers. Jerk.

Marc -- I've been following your blog for a while, remembering how good a reporter you were on The Crimson. But please do take down the Harry Potter spoiler; it's been hard enough to avoid the story thus far! (Hope all's well.)

This is the first time I follow through to check out your blog, and you give me a Potter spoiler. Terrible first impression.
