I have mixed feelings -- though I can tell you I'm not going anywhere to avoid the spoilers.
I was spoiled for OotP about five minutes before I went to pick up a book. I was moderating an RPG (message-board-based) at the time, and I was doing one last sweep of the community before going to get my copy. A troll appeared in one of the open forums and posted in HUGE letters that Sirius gets killed. At the time, Sirius was one of my favourite characters and to find out he got killed -- I was SO pissed off to have been spoiled.
I read no spoilers for HBP and I've been perusing some for DH but really, if a spoiler comes out, it'll be on July 20th when people in earlier time zones start trolling around. Until that point, I'm not believing a word I read.
It's more the... I like reading for the suspense and to hear that character X is getting killed -- particularly if it's a character I LIKE -- it makes me sniffle and dread getting to the proverbial page 806 (or page 711 depending on the version).
