Snape kills Dumbledore! Harry Potter leaked. [UNMARKED SPOILERS]
 

It's old news, but the new Harry Potter book has been leaked. Naturally I have spoiled it for every one of my friends, but should I put some spoilers up on here?

Too late, I already read it.

Who'd have thought they could do things like that with house elves? I mean, shouldn't that be illegal? Shouldn't Hermione at least have been pissed off about it? And wouldn't it hurt for weeks?



...Wait, what do you mean that wasn't the real story?

I heard that Harry Potter was going to win the lottery in the last book

Confirm!

I heard the Harry Potter book comes with a self-destruct button installed

Confirm/Deny? =(

made an entry about it yesterday, all fuel for Friday night's megaphone fest in front of a Boarders

God, I hope Harry Dies. ALthough I know he won't , I can still hope, right?

It seems your links to the HP7 scans have been killed off by a conspiracy. Complaints received, apparently. COMPLAINTS RECEIVED @_@. CONSPIRACY!

Y'know, your megaphone idea ain't half bad. It like the time my friends went out to the PS3 launch and shouted "599 US DOLLARS" all night. Smashing.

To tell you the truth, I don't really care much for Harry Potter but it's the hype that's provoked my curiosity... What ever happens to everyone in the Harry Potter universe? WHAT HAPPENS?!!! DAMN HYPE PROVOKING MY INTERESTS!

Oops, should've put spoiler tags around that. Sorry, guys. :(

Is this title a joke? Whoever, moderates media center should edit the title if it is true...since thanks a lot to you, you ruined the story partly to me, as I don't read the books and only watch the movies. Thanks a lot dude!

The internet = worst place to be if you don't want anything spoiled in your entire, sheltered life...period.


P.S. Boys have a penis, and girls have a vagina.

Is this member a clone?

I've read it, but various sources seem to indicate the book that was leaked may be fake.

Then again, they probably don't wanna admit what a major leak this is. And who the hell would go through the trouble writing the 7th book itself?

And people who don't wanna get spoiled? Too bad, the book's out for ages, is one of the reasons why people rush to get it so they don't get spoiled, and plow through it for the weekend. In Hong Kong, newspaper make HP spoiler a front page headline. Count yourself lucky your papers have more common sense. And the internet spreads spoilers faster and easier than anything else. At this point to a lot of people, the title spoilers are as famous as Darth Vader is Luke's father.

Don't wanna get spoiled? Read the damn books. Watching the movies isn't gonna tell you everything about the books either. Did you know Mr. Crouch was a cruel and cold father to his son Barty? Did you know Hermoine is against House elves being "enslaved" and started a protest campaign called S.P.E.W? Did you know Ron joins the Quittich team in Order of the Phoenix cause many seniors left? All of these have already happen in the first 5 books.

Oh no, I spoiled all those for you? Instead of whining about it go read them! It a 5 year old can read a 700 page book, so can you!

I daresay the latest leak isn't fake.

Anyone who wants to post spoilers should put them in spoiler tags.

In fact, there are THREE methods for hiding spoilers.

So what's the problem.

Someone put up the spoilers, I don't feel like waiting for the seventh movie to come out. I hope it's something crazy, yet not too surprising like Harry father is Voldemort. I wonder how the nutso Harry Potter fanbase reacts to these spoilers?

You know you could just go to a libary and read them...The final book is coming out in a few days... Why watch condensed versions on screens when you can read it in detail in bookform? Even Wikipedia's summaries are more detailed than the movie versions.

The spoilers. Knock yourself out.

Well the spoilers only tell who dies... Its missing a whole bunch of juicy stuff.

One of the librarians at a library that got an advanced copy of the book took a digital camera and took pictures of damn near ALL the pages. I have a copy of it in pDF form. Very interesting. And cliche. I can't forget how cliche some of it is.

Damnit, I wanted that Ideon ending.

Heh there are some cute mistakes in that PDF.

The very first paragraph of the book goes like this;

'Harry wakes up, he has wet himself once again. Ron is standing over him, as always, watching, waiting, licking his lips. Angry with life, Harry casts the forbiddon spell Linkinus Parkses and bleeds to death. Hagrid eats his body and turns into a chair. Everyone laughs. The end.' then there's like four hundred pages of J.K.Rowling laughing.

An Ideon ending would be very nice.

Imagine Cho Chang getting her head blown off

I can't help but think that this is an elaborate fake.

First, there's how completely bullshit the book is. The characters lack any depth, the story is boring, and the dialogue is unbearable.

Then there's the tell-tale mistakes. Harry exclaims "Thank God" in chapter three. I don't believe the word "God" has came out in any other book yet. And the following paragraph in chapter eight was where I decided that even Rowling isn't a poor enough author to write this shit:

"Oh, I'm so sorry," hisser Hermione, and as she dragged the waitress out of sight of the windows, Harry heard her mutter a suggestion as to where Ron could stick his wand instead.

Add in the complete lack of public condemnation from the publishers (they're too busy laughing at us I guess), and I'm saying fake. And if it's legit I'm not even reading my copy of the seventh book when it arrives. I'll throw it into the fireplace for Saturday evening.

Reading the first 10 chapters only, boring is not how I would characterize the leak.

Still who would go through the trouble of making a convincing fake copy? The typed version came from the photographed versions, which shows the book in physical form and someone turning the pages. Its not something a fan can just make and bind it himself...Not to mention the illustrations and cover.

Still part of me does wish the PDF is fake, the story isn't boring, but I found some of the developments, dialouge, character and most of all the epilogue questionable in quality. The only thing I felt spot on was things that revolved around Snape.

Rowling said the epilouge will tell us everything that happened with everyone, when the one I read really doensn't....

Its difficult to discuss this on other HP forums due to the banning of people who leaks spoilers. Does anyone else believe this is fake? Despite photographs suggesting otherwise?

Honestly, I do NOT know why people are THAT up and up about spoilers. Fact is, people who really want to know, WILL know. Even if it's the day after the release, they WILL know the result.

If they were wise (and I wouldn't be surprised if they ARE doing this), they would release fake versions of the story, that way keeping people in the dark as to what the REAL ending would be.

I dunno, while parts of the leaked version was meh, its also feels bit too much like Rowling's work in other parts to be fake either.

If they're gonna release a fake version, wouldn't they change the story completly as oppose to only changing parts in some places?

Cause there were spots that made me wonder if Rowling's writing dropped. And I'm not talking about the epilouge...

At the same time, alot of the plot matches up with what Rowling said in interviews...

Right, the book's been out for an hour and a half and the plot's all over wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_P...eathly_Hallows

Frankly, there's not much in the way of surprises in there. Anyone with a passing knowledge of fantasy stories could have seen most of that coming and the ending is particularly predictable. Rowling lives up to all her expectations as an Enid Blyton rip-off and there are no surprises in here at all to be honest.

Still, I did have a good laugh at the crowd of losers queuing for a copy at midnight, especially the kid who'd been there since 8 o'clock, given that the entire queue was gone in ten minutes when they finally opened the door.

We bought the book today, although my sister had first dibs on it, unfortunately for me

So I went ahead and downloaded the leaked version in the meantime for me to read on my PDA while I wait for her to finish. It's definitely the real deal too, for those who were wondering. I've done a superficial comparison of the two (because I don't want to spoil too much :p ). The first four chapters (which I was able to read from the print version while my sister was eating lunch) are the same between the two.

These books are so addictive :p :D

Would someone like to explain to me WHY THE HELL WIKIPEDIA HAS ERASED the HP7 PAGE?????
That's rediculous! i don't know how to find out who dies now... *tear*

Uh, its still up and is in fact updated with a list of who dies?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_P...eathly_Hallows

You could always, you know, read the book.


just saying

What, and be completely lost? I'm NOT taking the next 2 months reading 4 effing books to find out what happens in the last one.

Although, upon hearing that they're coming out in Latin, I might reconsider.

Four books? Did you read two of them and gave up or something?

It doesn't take that long to read them anyway...

But there's the wikipedia link, knock yourself out.

I'm more surprised by the claim that it takes 2 month to read four books....

Anyways, after having read nonstop since yesterday, I've finished the book. (Though 4chan spoiled the plot. Fuckers...)
I enjoyed it, though it annoys me that

Kilroy, the plot was spoiled right after book 6 came out. Rowling literally took a collection of the most popular fan theories and threw them together in one big book. Let's see....And on and on.

Harry Potter is a mystery series, with each new book revealing new information that helps piece together and solve the last puzzle. That fans are able to gather hints from the various clues Rowling deposits in the books and form their own theories (some of which ended up being the correct answers) is, I think, more of a testament to Rowling's imagination and writing ability. I mean, yeah, some theories are just "because I said so," but plenty others have lots of backing from the actual text. Otherwise, I'm sure there wouldn't have been so many of those Harry Potter analysis books.

Furthermore, she's been working on the series for 17 (?) years? She's probably long had the particulars of the ending worked out and simply guided fans on the right path.

Also the thread title says UNMARKED SPOILERS, yet here you are all are duly using the tags. Such genorosity!

Ditto all the above. A fine example for me would be Mrs. Figg.

She was only mentioned on passing and briefly in Book 1. Then there was a off comment made by Harry when he went to the Quidditch World Cup, where he thought the Weasley's tent smelled just like Mrs Figg's home, like cats.

Two comments that seemingly had no significance other than Harry's thoughts or exposition to the horrids of his life with the Dursley. Yet clever fans were able to figure out that Mrs Figg may be involved with the magic community, which we all know by now in Book 5 and Movie 5 that she was send by Dumbledore to watch over him. I had a hunch on this myself without going to any forums at all back then.

Same thing with the intials R.A.B. People took a name that was mentioned in passing and figured it out. Trust me, most people without forums would not have noticed that quickly or easily.

If you are to blame something, blame the net for spreading these theories too far and wide, or fans are too clever for their own good.

Just like the planned killing of dumbledore. Snape's contact with Draco throughout the book, his closeness with Voldemort and Dumbledore, Dumbledore's unyielding trust in him, and the rage with which he met Harry with after being called a murderer right after the killing all lead me to the conclusion that Dumbledore was in on his own death before I was even done with book 6. Rowling's books contain plenty of clues, if you look hard enough for them, it's no surprise that after 6 books of info, people would start to figure out the bigger picture.
