My policy is that you can spoil me for anything from the first half of the book, barring major character deaths. If one of the random classmates or teacher dies in the first half, you can totally spoil me for that. If one of the sextet or the Order of the Phoenix or Voldemort dies, I'd rather not know. If the half blood prince dies, better not tell me that either.
Basically, I am open to spoilers. HP is not a sacred fandom for me. Far from it. It's my book equivalent of a popcorn movie, and hence my investment in it is the equivalent of a popcorn movie: You can spoil me for a whole lotta shit just don't tell me the end. And don't tell me if Harry and Luna get together. I'd want to read that part on my own.
I have some predictions, though!
1. Harry goes crazy again.
2. Everyone again mistakenly thinks Harry is going crazy.
3. Snape is outed as a double-agent.
4. Draco gets killed and it's ALL HARRY'S FAULT. Which gives Harry an even more sophomoric reason to be broody-- now he has the guilt of being responsible for the death of a noisy bullying brat that he spent 5 years wishing would die, exceptnotREALLYlikeactuallyDIEyouknow.
5. Ron and Hermione kind of sort of go on a date. But they don't make out or get to third base or do anthing REAL 16 year olds do on dates, because this is JKR and that means sex drive is something that teens discover when they're 25.
6. Harry gets a crush on Luna. Luna is totally clueless.
7. Neville kicks all the bad guy ass at the end. Again.
