I still find it hard to believe that the publisher just didn’t care about this.

But a year later, I am VERY curious to see what Bloomsbury (and to a lesser extent Schlastic, since they’re bigger) have planned to to try an continue the eight or so years of success they enjoyed with JKR as their corporate ATM.

Don’t try to help anyone anymore. No one really wants to be helped. Pity.

Well, whats funny now is the people who said it wasn’t JK’s writing style. It was the real book!

Even though it matches the reviews in the NY times, I am going to go out on a limb and say- it doesn’t read like JK, I think someone ghost wrote this to match everything in wikipedia that needed tying up, and at least two book reviewers are going to get egg on their face come publication day. Because frankly - the version rolling across the net just isn’t that good. A publishing trick perhaps - a “Gotcha” coming down the line. That - or the worst harry potter book ever written. We’ll know soon enough.

Sean, my theory is that Bloomsbury know that the alleged leak is, after all, a fake, and thus don’t care about the little bit added publicity this gives the whole endeavor up till Friday night.
I’ve had a look at the copy, read stretches here and there, and it just doesn’t feel quite “Rowlingesque”! It seems quite well written by and large, but some parts just are fishy! I don’t want to spoil it for anyone, so I’ll abstain from examples. Suffice to say, if it is a fake, those who did it have gone a hell of a long way! Designing (or getting hold of) a 760-page FF story (weren’t the GB/US versions supposed to have a different page count?), printing and binding it to a real book, then kneeling on the floor to take “hasty” photos of each page… wow!
But we’ll know in less than two days, hooray! :-]=

This is real as it gets…

Only retards are going to read it online though, it’s not worth it in new eyes.

Jon, theres alot more than parents of ten year olds buying this book. And with being able to download it now, older people wouldn’t have the embarassment of having to go buy it.. I don’t know, i personally think that it will impact sales… But its not like they’ll get no sales if you get me?

Given that every parent is going to buy a copy for their 10 year old anyway, and that this won’t have a significant impact on their sales, why validate it as a real copy by responding?
