On July 21, at 12:01 AM, many Harry Potter fans embarked on a speed-reading marathon to finish ‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows,’ but less than a week after its release, there are still fans who haven’t finished the book and are not ready to talk about what happens to Harry and his friends. One teen found a creative way to keep spoilers at bay—buttons that say either "I'm not finished, no spoilers please!" or "I'm finished, let's discuss."

The country’s biggest Harry Potter bash was in Naperville, Ill. Friday night counting down to the release of DH. The Party that Shall Not Be Named brought thousands of people from around the Chicago area and other states as well.

Spoilers for ‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows’ are spreading on the Internet. Some purport to show the final chapter and others the entire book. The U.S. publisher has filed legal action against some, but as Leaky Cauldron Web Master Melissa Anelli says, "This is exceedingly wrong and mean-spirited. Let people enjoy their book, for Pete's sake.”

Thousands of Harry Potter fans have grown up reading the series. An example is Candice Dobson. When she was 9 years old she read "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.” Now in her mid-teens, she has read and re-read all the books and has been involved in a mix of Potter activities through the years. She says she’s "utterly addicted."
