Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
There is nothing to spoil. No one who is very important actually dies. Harry is the final horcrux, as we all knew (and as Rowling denied in interviews). Every single plot element is telegraphed well in advance.
Now I know there are certain things that it would be highly silly to criticize a children's book about, but this series honestly used to be better. They used to be adorable self-contained stories with just a hint of arc, an idea that seems to have been thrown out by book five (around the same time, it seems, Rowling began getting paid by each narrow margined, triple spaced, size 16 typed page).
Don't bother.
