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

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!

Jam it back in, in the dark.

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.

Most amazing jew boots

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

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

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?

How ya doing, buddy?

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...

I was speaking idiomatically.

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

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

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.

How ya doing, buddy?

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.

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.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?
