Subscribe to A Cry for HelpAs you may have heard, the Harry Potter series (supposedly) wrapped up this week. Also this year, The Sopranos ended its TV run (you may have heard a thing or two about that, too). I have never read Potter or watched Sopranos, but deep down my social conditioning tells me that some day I might, maybe, hunker down for a week and read the Potter Canon or watch 6 seasons of Tony Soprano non-stop.
Maybe.
Most likely I'll never get around to either. But still, there's a little voice that compels me to try to avoid reading any spoilers about how these series end. Last month, it was impossible to remain ignorant of whether or not Tony survived the finale. Now, as the slower reading muggles finish up Deathly Hallows, I have a feeling I'll be inadvertently learning Harry's fate any day now.
The lesson? I'll be watching the Lost finale in 2009 in real time. There are no more pop culture secrets in the internet age.
no one important dies. voldemort and one of the fire crotch twins, oh and that cute little kid that idolizes harry. that’s about it. too bad, i was hoping for mass destruction.
harry marries jenny, ron marries hermione, neville and luna hook it up i think too.
Luckily I have no idea if any of those characters are real. Surprisingly, I haven’t heard anything about this last book yet…
