How Does Harry Potter End
If you make a man a fire, he will be warm for one night.
If you set a man on fire, he will be warm the rest of his life.
At some point in high school, I spent a chunk of time in a Barnes and Noble and skimmed through a whole rack of Cliff's Notes. Of course that is so last-millenium - if you want to know how Harry Potter ends nowadays you should just read Wikipedia.
Don't think you are cheating at life somehow. That is wrong wrong wrong. Reading summaries of famous works of literature is a dense, information-rich, exciting experience. Read a single paragraph summarizing the plots of the 100 greatest novels of all time and you will learn a lot. Read a single one of them, that makes you a bit wiser.
You might ruin the fun later, though. Maybe you should read the Wikipedia entries for greatest novels 101-200.
