My spoiler policy

I will not post any spoilers in my LJ until the evening of the 16th, UK time. I will, however, have my computer tuned into australian radio, because as WizardNews reports:

Anyone know their url?

I have, btw, already been royally spoiled, and I'm fine with it. I spoiled myself for OotP by accident 10 minutes after getting the book and I've posted before about upset I was and while I'm not sure I would've been less upset had I known before, at least now I'll be mentally prepared.

Heidi, I rang the radio station this morning after I saw Titti's post to check for her, and there's no broadcast. They're running it as a one-off public reading, but that's it. Sorry!
