I actually stumbled across this find by mistake. I almost wish I would have thought of it sooner, because I imagine there’s a market there for people buying t-shirts to spoil someone else’s reading experience. I remember back when the previous book came out that people were running around with Snape kills Dumbledore t-shirts.

What the person has done is created an online store using CafePress. Then after hearing about a possible spoiler, threw the ending onto a t-shirt. Genious. The product? A Harry Potter spoiler t-shirt.

I imagine this may end up being a profitable venture because:

  • 0$ for the Web Development
  • 0$ and an hour for the Design Work
  • No dealing with clients
  • Money gets to you by cheque

You can reach the actual store and buy t-shirts, shirts and thongs? by clicking the image below, careful, the link will display in the status bar and
CONTAINS SPOILERS

    Thank you for not spoiling the book. I don’t know how I’m going to dodge the spoilers until Saturday? Good idea!

    I’d like to note that it appears the site/shirt design was taken down. I’m guessing because of legal concerns.
