"Harry approached another door at random and pushed. It did not
move.

'What's wrong?' said Hermione.

'It's . . . locked . . ." said Harry, throwing his weight at the
door, but it didn't budge.

'This is it, then, isn't it?' said Ron excitedly, joining Harry in
the attempt to force the door open. 'Bound to be.'"

*******************

Yes, the door is locked. Sort of. The HPFGU main list is *closed*
to posting for 85 hours so that everyone can read and digest the new
canon!

The list will reopen for posting on Tuesday, 19 July at 1:00 p.m.
(British Summer Time). In other time zones:

New Zealand - 20 July midnight
Australia Eastern - 19 July 10 p.m.
Australia Western - 19 July 8 p.m.
Eastern Europe - 19 July 3 p.m.
Central Europe - 19 July 2 p.m.
Western Europe - 19 July noon
Canada Atlantic - 19 July 9 a.m.
Eastern U.S. - 19 July 8 a.m.
Central U.S. - 19 July 7 a.m.
Pacific U.S. - 19 July 5 a.m.

The present spoiler policy will be lifted on the main HPFGU list when 
it reopens to posting. You can expect every post to have HBP 
spoilers, so if you have not read the HBP and do not want to read 
spoilers, DO NOT VISIT THE MAIN HPFGU LIST.

SPOILER-FREE ZONE

The OT-Chatter list (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HPfGU-OTChatter)
has been designated as a spoiler-free zone, for the benefit of
members of our community who will not have immediate access to HBP.
Any post to this list containing HBP spoilers will be deleted and the 
poster will be placed on moderated status. Of course, discussion of 
release-night events and parties, and to announce that you've 
finished the book and are ready to chat (see below), is welcome on 
OTC.

CHAT ROOM OPEN

For those of you that can't wait to begin discussing HBP, the HPFGU
chat room (see the link at the left side of the HPFGU page) will be
open throughout the 85-hour list closure period. If you enter the
chat room and find no one there, we suggest that you post to OT-
Chatter inviting others to join you.

If you have any questions, contact the list elves at HPforGrownups-
owner at yahoogroups.com or contact any one of us. A skeleton crew will 
be on hand to assist you.
