Techmeme Ruins Harry Potter By Posting the Ending

If you love Harry Potter, DO NOT READ TECHMEME AND DON’T CLICK THIS LINK.
Those bastards at Techmeme posted a story about an alleged hack that reveals
the end of the new novel. Without even realizing it, I accidentally
read the hack story, while perusing my Techmeme feed, and now I may have just ruined everything. The hacker, Gabriel, posted on a message board a claim of hacking the Bloomsbury Publishing computers. Gabriel claims he got access to a draft copy of the final Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows by sending an email virus to the publishers. The publishers never confirm or deny rumors, so we’ll all have to wait to find out if this is true or not. (Please let it be NOT!) I’m really mad that I even saw this story. Had I been warned of possible spoilers, I would never have read the story. Thanks a lot, Techmeme.
