A fair warning: You throw any spoilers in my face... and I will kill myself. And when my tainted spirit finds it's destination, I will topple the master of that dark place. From my black throne, I will lash together a machine of bone and blood, and fueled by my hatred for you this FEAR ENGINE will bore a hole between this world and that one!
When it begins, you will hear the sound of children screaming - as though from a great distance. A smoking orb of nothing will grow above your bed, and from it will emerge a thousand starving crows. As I slip through the widening maw in my new form, you will catch only a glimpse of my radiance before you are incinerated. Then, as tears of bubbling pitch stream down my face, my dark work will begin.
I will open one of my six mouths, and I WILL SING THE SONG THAT ENDS THE EARTH!!
You are hereby forewarned.
-Fred

I'm with Fred, and please no spoilers. I'm already two books behind (shame on me, I know) but plan on reading the 7th eventually. I just hope I can avoid friends and media discussing it...

You go, girl. We're all with you.
Geez Fred, eat some ice! I read your post in the dark and looked around me to make sure I was alone.

It was meant in a humoristic manner Jim. It is the most over-the-top warning anyone has ever given in the history of written warnings. At least as far as I've found. Not to be taken seriously at all, really. I can see how reading it in a dark room and not being prepared for it can be... unsettling however

Sorry about that. Slight tinge of Monty Python humor.
Ooooh, ice cream! Yay!
There are two kinds of people in the world my friend; Those with loaded guns, and those with ice cream to bribe the guns away. You bribe!

Ah man, you got it in one. 4:30 in the morning and a few hundred pages in, I cursed my poor old body, and my corneas that seemed to slowly fill with ground glass; bemoaning my lost youth when I could finish behemoths like Stephen King's "IT" in one sitting.
After work and social obligations aside (and believe me, I watched the clock every damnable minute)......it is DONE!!!!
Spoilers ahead...........
Just kidding, you think I gotta death wish????
Cheers!
I'm now going to go pass out!

Good show Jen! Reading a book as thick as HP in record time is generally something that should be saved for immediate response folks (ie: police, paramedics, etc). Get some rest, eat a bagel. We'll be here when you recover.
