Exactly, that's not a problem it's a huge benefit. It makes HP
discussions really exciting. We propose theories and models of the
action so far, and based on those theories and models make
predictions on what will happen next. In most literary discussions
that process is futile because there is no `next', it's all
hypothetical. But for Harry Potter we do have a next, we can watch
and wait with baited breath for the next book to see if our
predictions, and hence the theories and models on which they were
based, were sound.

Me too. I've had my share of wrist slapping from the elves, and I've
always found it polite, kind, and informative. No, the worst that
can happen is for your posts to get completely ignored.
