Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Why Harry Potter fans suck!


Why the hell do Harry Potter fans feel obligated to say what's going to happen seconds before it's going to happen on screen? It's as if Harry Potter fans have a self obligated duty of announcing to the world they've read the books inside-and-out. I'm guessing these are the same fans that waited at midnight for the latest Harry Potter book release, having read it in its entirety by the end of the following day. Is there a disclaimer by J.K. Rowling within the Harry Potter books that say, "When you see this movie, be sure to spoil every twist and turn of the film for everyone within the vicinity of your speaking voice." Is it a badge of honor to speak to the films events before it happens? And no, this is not unique to the latest Deathly Hallows part one release, this goes for every Potter film I've seen since day one! I'm not a die hard Harry Potter fan, hell, I could be watching Driving Miss Daisy... regardless it's pretty fucking annoying having GROWN ADULTS blurting out an entire film from behind my seat. Speaking of grown adults, it's the one's who bring their kids that are the worse. It's not that children I have a problem with, it's the parents teaching their kids to ignore all forms of movie etiquette, teaching their children it's okay to chat their asses off during a movie. Hell, at least Twilight fans have the decency to keep their mouths shut when they watch Edward, Jacob and Bella engage in their teen angst sexual escapades. One could argue that I could avoid watching Harry Potter movies opening week(end). However, it's also easy to make the argument that some idiot will spoil the movie regardless, likely to come from a Harry Potter fan.
