Well, no offense meant to you or MHC or anyone sharing your opinion, 'cause you're welcome to have it, but for a nearly 900-page book written by an author who we all know just loves to build up strange little seemingly throwaway details and toss wrenches into reader perspectives at least five times an installment, it really doesn't seem like an only marginally descriptive inarticulate noise like "Squeeee!" or "Waaaaah!" really makes much of a difference, whether or not one knows the speaker. I mean, I've known both Cedar and McTabby (to take your examples) for a decent while by internet standards, and I think I have a pretty good idea of their Potterian tastes, but there are many things that could make either one squee or waaah.
I completely agree that anything remotely specific about the books should be cut-tagged, but if even an interjection bothers you, I would suggest just staying away from livejournal until you can get your hands on the book, or if that will take awhile, until the fuss has blown over a bit. Or whatever, at your discretion. If it's too late for this book, maybe you should keep that in mind for the next one? Because frankly, I don't think either of you can prevent the squeeage from seeping onto your uncut friendslist.
In any case, I got out all my (non-spoilery, just hyperactive ;)) inarticulate noises out already, and I will lj-cut the articulate stuff.

Guess we'll agree to disagree.
