Madness continues over the NYT Harry "spoiler"
Another Huffington Post blogger weighs in:
Rowling created this world that lives in our imaginations, and this is her final gift to her people. So no, it is not just about readers not wanting to know anything about the book in advance, it is about readers not wanting anybody else to know anything about the book in advance, so its arrival can be experienced by everyone all at once. It’s like a Schroedinger’s cat thing — the story has not actually ended one way or the other until the official release, and then suddenly the ending is at hand, there for all to share in together.
Oh, for goodness sake. Knowing the ending doesn’t change enjoyment of the book one bit. And the NYT review didn’t reveal the ending anyway, so what’s the big deal?
