Wizard News > Spoiler Warnings
The Wizard News system makes great effort to shield
spoilers from people who do not want to read them. To do so,
whenever a link to a news story is posted on this site which contains
a spoiler, it is highlighted in
red.
We also keep the headlines and descriptions of stories with spoilers
vague so that they don't give away the stories' secrets.
The problem of spoilers has only recently been addressed by some
other sites. However, the Wizard News system has protected our readers from
spoilers for several years.
What are Spoilers?
Spoilers are bits of information about a book you haven't
read or a movie you haven't seen, which might spoil the fun of the
mystery for you if you knew this bit of information
in advance (unless you're the type who goes to the back of the book
and reads the ending first).
Spoilers could be extremely detrimental to the enjoyment of reading a
Harry Potter book, because of the complex nature of the mysteries
that J.K. Rowling weaves for us. In addition, although we most
enthusiastically recommend that everyone read the books, we
acknowledge that possibly not everyone who sees a movie might have
read the book first.
Spoilers on Wizard News
Wizard News assumes that everyone has at this point in time
read all seven Harry Potter books, and seen
the first five Harry Potter movies and all of the Lord of the Rings
movies. Therefore, we're currently only considering something a spoiler
when it pertains to information about future Harry Potter movies.
Please remember! If you don't want spoilers to ruin your fun of upcoming
books or movies, do NOT click on the red links on this system!
On the other hand, if you can't wait, please feel free to look for the red
links! :-)
