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.
