Well what can I say? I got emailed a link to download Deathly Hallows, thinking it was fake, I downloaded and poked around. There is no dobht this is the real thing. However being a Harry Potter fan since the books came out I felt obliged to tell Bloomsbury where I got it from, so I emailed their rights department. However, after spending thousands of pounds on getting the books delivered safely, they actually don’t care that its been released and are trying to pass it off as “This is not Real”. I can’t actually publish the email conversation due to their fancy legal signature, however here was the gist of how it went.

Me: I have recived a copy of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, its real, photos taken from the book. Is there anyway I can help you to stop this?
Bloomsbury: Please provide a link and we will investigate, thanks.
Me: The link is http://rapidshare.com/files/43347311/HP7.rar.html I know that mugglenet.com helped you last time by providing the ISBN but the camera flash blurs it out.
Bloomsbury: Thanks for your help, you have an idea I’m sure of the amount of “Real” Harry Potter books on the internet at the moment, none of us will really know till July 21st.
Me: Denying that this is the real thing is insane. Right book, right layout, has all the needs.. It was obviously taken by someone in a bookstore. On Bloomsbury’s behalf this is pretty bad that something like this got leaked. Aren’t you going to do anything about it? I aggree, there is lots of fake stuff out there, but why would someone go and take that many fake pictures and write and publish themselves and alternitive version of Deathly Hallows?

All I can say is that this is insane, not only do they not seem to care, but they try to throw me off with a “it might be fake” response. ITS REAL! I’m a Harry Potter fan, I can tell! The storyline makes sense, the layout is correct, it has everything! Its not some fake email with the “plot” its the REAL thing! You’d think honestly after spending so much money on this book and it being so hyped up the least they would do is actually care about it! So heres I Sean, providing you with the link to download the new Harry Potter book [See Update Seven]. Since Bloomsbury really don’t seem to care!

Update one:

People who don’t think this is real, heres two images, that ARE NOT spoilers, to show you how real they are.
Front Cover [Copyright info]
Very Back Cover [Blank page and book sleeve]

Update Two:

Its been leaked to bittorrent. Now Bloomsbury are screwed! Get the torrent.
If you download the book, please digg this post! Spread the word!

Update Three:
Scholastic [The American Publisher] know and care! They have seeked a subpoena to seek the person who leaked the book! At least someone seems to care. Bloomsbury could have had the decency to update me on this. Lets see how much they “dont care” on release day..

Update Four:

Now this one is interesting to say the least! Email conversation between a yours truely and a Scholastic Representative.

Me: I have recived a copy of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, its real, photos taken from the book. Is there anyway I can help you to stop this?
Scholastic: This book has not been released.
Me: I know, I got it online.
Scholastic: I’m aware of that, however it has been leaked online.

Now this is what I find wierd, the book I have is 759 [793 if you count every page] pages long. However on Mugglenet it says, Page count: 784 (US), 608 (UK).. I don’t know how JK was counting pages, but this seems a little fishy to me! Then again, if you take out the chapter list pages it does work out as exactly 759, including four blank pages. But we could count it any kind of way. Either Scholastic did fuck up, which I am more inclined to belive or, they released a fake version to stop spoilers.

Update Five:
Five Updates! Not doing bad are we? The torrents have been removed from both Demonoid.com and Mininova.
There is a fake .PDF version on the way around, its obviously not real hence me saying its fake its just fan fiction called “The Seventh Horcrux” this version is not fanfiction. [Well possibly.. who knows, but its not THAT fan-fiction.]

Update Six:
Book turned out to be the real one, interesting or what?

Update Seven:
Looks like the link has been taken down!
