Lol. I think she's a girl but something's happening with the gender stuff. Lol. Mine also said "Male" when I didn't put it.
And it's true. SPOILERS RUIN EVERYTHING!!!
The way i read was kind of strange. I sat on a table with HBP on a old shirt or plastic to protect it from being dirty. I used a stick to guide meself on reading the words and I'd always change my position... Like after a minute or so.
