That is my worst fear.  My mother is one of those read the end of the book first types and she has already said she would check the back as soon as I got home with it.  But that was before I threatened never to speak to her again as long as I live if she did.  So I *think* I'm safe. She did that to me once (not with Harry Potter) and I keep reminding her about it.  And it was at least ten years ago.  I don't think she'll make the same mistake twice.  To me reading the back just ruins the whole thing.  Why would anyone want to ruin the book for themselves or anyone else?  Someone emailed Mugglenet a scan of the page where someone dies.  (They didn't post it, of course)  I'd hate to have been the one to read that email.  Thanks a lot for ruining the book for me, that sort of thing.
