No Comments

Due to threats of severe bodily harm and painful hexing from the Potions Master himself, Snapecast will be enforcing a strict no spoiler policy for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows until August 1, 2007. During this time, the Snapecast podcast, web site, Livejournal, and MySpace will all be spoiler free.

By spoiler free, we mean that the podcast and the associated web sites will not include:

Spoilers or links to spoilers

Suspected spoilers

Art based on spoilers or suspected spoilers

Subject lines based on spoilers or suspected spoilers

Icons based on spoilers or suspected spoilers

We guarantee that Snapecast Episode 19 (to be released on July 15, 2007) will be spoiler free with respect to Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Episode 19 will, however, contain content related to the Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix film which will be released on July 11, 2007.

Snapecast Episode 20 (to be released on August 1, 2007) will contain content related to the outcome of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows so listen at your own risk! Although the podcast itself will contain spoilers, the shownotes for Episode 20 will be spoiler free and the comments will be screened for spoilers until August 15, 2007. After August 15, 2007, listen to the show and visit the associated sites at the risk of being spoiled.

As listeners, fans, community members, and Snape lovin’ lurkers, please do your part by refraining from posting comments with spoilers (even if they are placed under a cut) until after August 15, 2007. Any posts which contain content deemed to be in violation of the Snapecast Deathly Hallows Spoiler Policy will be deleted or modified. Likewise please refrain from sending the severus@snapecast.com address any spoiler-related Owlpost. Violators of this provision of the Snapecast Deathly Hallows Spoiler Policy will be subject to punishment from Snarky..and that owl can bite!
