Jerkyhole is not worth our time, my cheesecake friends. I am just happy that his theories are WRONG!
It's bullsh1t. Scholastic fu.cks up and I got tricked into several spoiler videos. Their ALL over youtube as other videos, attention grabbers, that switch to a screen with everyone that dies.
JERKYHOLE is like Kreacher: he mumbles annoying things that nobody wants to hear...and everbody ignores Kreacher. So i say we ignore the big jerk as well. anybody agree?
he is so social retarded he can't even have a proper conversation with his imaginary friend
medwards --U R RITE , THTS Y HE LIKES THE COMPUTER, NO1 CAN SEE HIM, THAT MEANS HE HASNT KILLED ANY1, WELL BY HIS LOOKS ANYWAY

omgggggg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! im so pizzed right now...... my bro just came blabbing on to me about whats going to happen and he showed me some spoiler website (saying it was halo 3 news, but it wasnt.) no joke its like zen something i wont spoil it for anybody but i hope the website was wrong......what i saw seemed pretty supportive though....
It's funny how you all claim *I* have no life when you guys seems to be here all day. I've gone on some many breaks to the beach since my recent vandalism here and whenever I return, 3 hours later, I am still being discussed by the same group of people. I leave when i am ignored, but seeing as that's yet to happen, I will continue posting spoilers and rude remarks concerning Jesus.

Jesus is a fuckin fagg0t, lol
medwards: I totally 100% agree with u
Um for someone who has RonDiesHarryLives as a username on here, it's a bit hypocritical of you to complain about being tricked into spoilers.
Everything I have accidently stumbled upon today (not here) has contradicted jerkyhole so I'm not believing him, not that I ever did...I'll just sit here, twiddle my thumbs and try to avoid the internet (prolly not gonna work) Hmm, I wonder Iif I can make a wand on my dad's lathe...*lapses into deep thought* Has anyone tried that because I realise it's a bit too late to get an official one...
jerkyhole: you're just pathetic. we all know you are lying and we all know you are just desperate for attention. you haven't been to the beach because you have no on to go with, except the current stuffed cat you are raping. or your own d!ck because we know your mouth never comes off that tiny thing
jerkyhole How can you have gone to the beach when you have posted like every 3 minutes all day. people can go back and look at your previous posts moron.
Tonks1975: winky and Kreacher? you just had to do it? couldn't help you self otherwise?you just ruined it for me!! i'm a winky-dobby shipper if you must know. on a different note, i looked on rotten tomatoes, and they gave movie 1-79%, movie 2- 82%, movie 3 and 4 - 89%, and movie 5- 77%. anyone knows if this can grow in time? after the release they gave 75%, so, could get better, right?
JERKYA$$, Y DONT U TRY AND ANSWER SOME OF OUR QUESTIONS K? # 1)Y R U A FAGGOT? # 2) Y R U SO RACIST? #3) Y DO U GO AFTER ROBS CAT?... THERES MORE BUT FIRST ANSWER THESE K?
NOOOOOO!! I read the book, thinking it was fanfaction, but it's REAL! My life is ruined. As for you, jerkyhole, i'd love to take your copy of the book and shove it up your ass! keep your freakin' mouth shut!
sure you went to the beach, to hang out with who? ur peacock... bless the day when you are wiped off the face of the eaarth by a giant calicheeseburcake and raped by a thousand cats then you will realize that R.A.B. actually stand for Rubeus Actually (has) B**bs or Rusty Axes Burn
Jerkyhole how would you like it if the day that deathly hallows was released, you went and got the book and discoved that YOURS had been printed in magical ink and you could only read the ink if you committed suicide? Sounds fair to me! ALL OF THE ABOVE!!!
look up homosexual cat raping pedifil in the dictionary and the definition will be just one word. jerkyhole.
jerkyhole is a sucker!
Are we not making up anymore fake spoilers? I thought that was a good idea? It sure put jerkyholes in perspective.
I am pissed beyond belief. I hope Scholastic sues them into the ground.
Jerkyhole, karma's a b!tch you know. you think it's funny posting offending comments, but the jokes on you!!!
ANSWER ME THIS JERKYHOLE: Why are you such a loser? Why are you gay? Why do you have no life? Why are you so effin pathetic that you have to rape Rob's cat?
Ok everyone who thinks that Jerkyhole has ruined the story for you, he hasn't. For those of you who have not looked at the spoilers (I WILL NOT SPOIL ANYTHING HERE, JUST REASSURE YOU) you have no way of knowing whether what is being said is true. I have looked at everything out there, not to ruin the book for me (I don't really care who lives or dies) but to find out if they were real. This is what I know. The scans of the epilogue and the chapter outlines, I believe, are real. What Jerkyhole has been posting are fake chapter synopsis based on chapter names. This are all over the internet. I know they are fake because if people like Jerkyhole actually used a brain and would read the actual scanned images and not focus on this supposed outline, they would realize that the Epilogue COMPLETELY contradicts MOST of what the outline itself reports to be plot details. It doesn't even mention other factors discussed in the fake plot outline; therefore, I would take none of this to be fact and if you don't read the epilogue itself (I have perused it) I wouldn't pay any attention at all to what is being said. What Jerkyhole said is a created plotline from chapter titles. Some of the stuff may be correct, as likely as all of your theories out there are, but don't take anything he says to be truth. He may be telling you exactly what websites are telling him, but it becomes painfully obvious that the people who created the outline have not read the book at all. In fact, they haven't even read the scanned images of the epilogue they have posted.
Now, people start defensive when I attack you! You are all sad, little people who do nothing more than post on Mugglenet about how you spoiled the book or are trying to avoid these spoilers. I've not been posting every 3 minutes like you say. Looking at past articles, there are several instances where people post: "jerkyhole's gone?! w00t" during one of my beach hiatuses. So, clearly I HAVE been gone for periods of time while posting here. My spoilers are not a plea for attention, but just an attempt to upset as many people as possible. KTHXBAI... Wait a sec-BELLATRIX KILLS RON, NEVILLE KILLS BELLA, VOLDY KILLS SNAPE, PERCY AND LUPIN DIE, HARRY KILLS VOLDEMORT!BELLATRIX KILLS RON, NEVILLE KILLS BELLA, VOLDY KILLS SNAPE, PERCY AND LUPIN DIE, HARRY KILLS VOLDEMORT!BELLATRIX KILLS RON, NEVILLE KILLS BELLA, VOLDY KILLS SNAPE, PERCY AND LUPIN DIE, HARRY KILLS VOLDEMORT!BELLATRIX KILLS RON, NEVILLE KILLS BELLA, VOLDY KILLS SNAPE, PERCY AND LUPIN DIE, HARRY KILLS VOLDEMORT!BELLATRIX KILLS RON, NEVILLE KILLS BELLA, VOLDY KILLS SNAPE, PERCY AND LUPIN DIE, HARRY KILLS VOLDEMORT!BELLATRIX KILLS RON, NEVILLE KILLS BELLA, VOLDY KILLS SNAPE, PERCY AND LUPIN DIE, HARRY KILLS VOLDEMORT!
They are so LUCKY!! They get to read the books first.[I know its wrong but it wasn't their falut was it?] it was just luck.
EVERYONE: JUST STOP TYPING EVIL LITTLE INSULTS TO THIS UNGRATEFUL LITTLE PEACOCK, I THINK WE HAVE DONE ENOUGH DAMAGE, LETS JUST WAIT 2 MORE DAYS
jerkyhole is just reading long disproved spoilers. Trust me on this. Just ignore him...
Really? I mean, really?! It's totally messed up that people actually take pleasure in spoiling the last book for millions of fans. You'd think they'd have better things to do. Ugh. Well, this Scholastic thing confirms it -- no internet PERIOD until the book comes out. I hate having to narrowly avoid all of these stupid spoilers.
ahem jerkyhole is a c.ocksucker. Answer my question jerkyhole: y r u a racist homo faggot raping robs cat? Thankyou.
JERKYHOLE JUST ANSWER MY QUESTIONS ABOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!! THEN IT'LL PROVE THAT U CAN TYPE INSTEAD OF COPY PASTING ALL DAY? OF COURSE U CAN HAVE UR DIAPER CHANGED FIRST, THE ANSWER K?
I have found where the bastard jerkyhole lives and now some of my friends have gone to his place. A few minutes later this bastard will be SILENCED!
Buzz, Buzz; and now back to your regularly scheduled program... Bob Barkers voice is heard... ' and here we have JERKYHOLE, he's gonna spin the wheel of death, now spin, it looks like its landed on community service, NO!! you are going to have to be raped by cats who are SH.ITTING recently eatin cheescake on you! And then you can get kill by the electric chair or something!! "oh too bad all out of time!, tune in next time to see JERKYHOLE get ELECTRICUTED, remember folks have your pets spayed or nuetered... (unless its the cat were borrowing for tomorrows show)
A lot of people are worried that this means that the leaks that have been flying around are real. But this doesn't prove anything. The customers received their books starting yesterday, meaning that any leak that came out over the weekend are still up in the air, such as the epilogue...grrr stupid epilogue
PLEASE, GUYS , jerkyhole must become: HE-WHO-MUST-NOT-BE-NAMED. JUST IGNORE HIM, HE FEEDS ON OUR ATTENTION, ALMOST EVERY COMMENT IS DIRECTED AT HIM, WE MUST NOT REPLY TO HIM INCREDIBLE STUPID IDEAS, BECAUSE THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT HE WANTS. STOP TRYING TO BRING SOME SENSE INTO HIM, OR MAKE HIM FEEL ASHAMED, BECAUSE STUPIDITY IS INFINITE AND WILL NOT LISTEN TO REASON. THIS IS THAT LAST TIME I MENTION THIS he-who-must-not-be-named
why does jerky fag say we have no life because he's been to the "beach" but hes the one that actually took the time to find that info on google or what ever he used...
jerkyhole What beach do you go to?
sigh. i don't know what to believe with the spoilers. i saw some of the video where the guys were in borders with the book. i was like geeeze...but what can you do? dumbledore dying was spoiled for me but i still enjoyed every minute of hbp. and also, just ignore jerkyhole you guys. he obviously just wants attention. and i don't know what he's talking about with "beach hiatuses" unless he's going to the beach for 10 minutes at a time. i've seen a comment of his on every page. so get a life jerkyhole. you're just being stupid and immature. and hahaha. don't even tell US how we don't have a life. have you even READ some of the crap you posted? please.
Rob15 is right...but one last insult from me and then I'm done: jerkyhole never leaves for the beach because he has no friends. he's a loser. A pathetic, antisocial loser. He deserves to be mauled by a cat. Specifically Rob's cat....now I'm done.
I have said it before, and I'll say it again. Jerkyhole is in this for the ATTENTION!!!! He has proved to us that he has no regrets in lying, so why should we ever believe what he is saying?
can we plz just ignore jerkyhole so that he'll stop.... he/she's just looking for our attention
FINE LETS IGNORE HIM, ANY1 UP 4 CHEESECAKE?
IGNORE JERKYHOLE. leave him on his imaginary beach, JERK BEACH.
okay, lest get back on topic. so this means the july 16th spoilers are fake? thank God.
Jerkyhole, so your the person i saw on Beach Patrol: San Diego, being arrested for raping those two boys in the lifeguard shack?
okay, i don't know what to believe here. so many things are on the internet, and as much as i dont wanna spoil the book for me, i do. so why doesnt eveybody who wants to be spoiled wait 2 days, and just read the end of the book when they first get it, okay? dont post stupid spoilers here for those who dont wanna read it.
DO NOT WORRY, THE BEACHER BASTARD WILL BE SILENCED WITHIN A FEW MINUTES. WE FOUND HIS PLACE AND WILL DO WHAT MUST BE DONE...
at piratebay.com they have a leaked copy of deathly hallows with a picture of every single page with a carpet in the back ground it has cover to cover pictures its 100% real im guessing one of those kids decided to take a ton of pictures its very readable so if you dont want to read spoilers i wouldnt look at the internet at all the spoilers even the true ones dont ruin the book because JKR is such a great writer and jerkyhole isnt lieing from how far i am in the book : )
