MASS SPOILERS AHOY!

What do you think? I'm still confused about what the guy just made up, and what's real. Some of it seems legit.

Ok, maybe not, Junii told me to take it down.

But here's the gist of it: Harry marries Ginny, three kids, Ron marries Hermione, Lupin marries Tonks (I think), Draco has a kid, Snape is headmaster.

I would remove that if I were you. the Publisher was pissed at the website that had the actual book on-line and gave spoilers. they could order a C&D to Jolt and/or Max Berry.

I would rather not have this site in any legal troubles.

I heard the final line was gonna be;

After reaching the dining room, Harry and Ron turned their wands on themselves.

Come on thats so good it got to be true!


But really I rekon Harry will turn evil and Ron and Hermione will have to take him down. Then Rowling can get out of writing more, but if she get done for tax evasion or wastes her money or something (you know the crap all thoose types do). She can rehash the books with Harry as Voldermort, I can see it now Garry Cotter or Larry Hotter.

Photoshop. Given the quality of the pictures, photoshopping them wouldn't be that tough. The only thing that makes that seem unlikely is that they have pictures which are both in the style of the illustrator and, I beleive, unique. However, given that the author is, himself, apparently unreliable from line to line, I'm not sure that he is a reliable source. Given that it also doesn't have the more airy nature of much of Rowling's prose, and the name Albus Severus is actually used (along with Lily and James?), it reads like Fan Fiction.

Of course, I will publicly acknowledge that I am wrong if, when I get the book, that is the last chapter.

Hey, if that's PS, it's some top fucking PS. I wish I could PS like that.

I'll be disappointed if that's not the real ending, I quite liked it. Cliched as all hell, but at least it's happy.

Wouldn't really be that hard, if you had the skills, to do most of it. All you need is a book and the images of the cover (which are available). Cleaning the text from that book wouldn't be difficult (cleaners for Manga do the same thing). Rowling lists what font she uses in the back of each book. Given the quality of the images themselves (unfortunately, I read it last night, and as they are no longer available, I am functioning on imperfect memory), imperfections might be hard to notice.

Sorry for the Double Post, but I've done a bit of research. Apparently this origionated on 4chan. That tends to arouse my suspicion. Not only are the /R/etards or whatever the fuck they call themselves (t/r/olls?) known for Photoshop usage, it also explains the inconsitent nature of the claims. I call hoax.

Aye. It's a hoax.

But then, there were those who said Snape killing Dumbledore was a hoax, we all know how that turned out.

Meh. I didn't read the pictures anyway so it's not as if I actually know what the (fake) spoilers were.

No problem.

What gave it away is the inconsitency between the two documents. The "Ron Weasley is killed by Bellatrix Lestrange" conflicts directly with the epilogue. So does the claim, further up the page, that the epilogue is in newspaper form. Clearly at least one, and (given the presentation) both are false.

There have been a few observations made regarding the epilogue. The first is that the prose reads like a much more heavy-handed author than Rowling. The second is that the book has no cover, and that makes it that much easier to Photoshop. The third is that the format isn't quite right.

Why do you think Sirius might come back?
I don't think he will just because they went on for so long about once you're done you're gone, no coming bak from the dead blah, blah, blah
I also, hope Neville doesn't die. I hope that Harry, being a horcrux will have to be killed and Neville will do it and ultimately defeat the darklord etc. because he was marked by the darklord, not physically but his parents insanity affected him greatly.
I also think that Wormtails hand will hve something to do with something. They put too much emphisis on Wormtail owes Harry and cannot harm him in the third book. And the prophecy says that one must die at the hand of the other. J. K. said that she phrased the prophecy carefully, and at first glance it seems simplistic so I think that there will be a twist with that. Or concerning the change of verb from neither can live while the other survives (they talk about half lives with the unicorn blood in book 1). I dunno...

I dunno. They never said Sirius was really dead-he just passed through the veil. Who knows, maybe he's just floating around in there or something. It's just a feeling. As for Neville, i'm just afraid that it's a possiblilty, no matter how unlikely.

Wormtail will definetly play a big part in this. I'm sure of it.

It's official: the cats out of the bag, and the shit's hit the fan.

Luckily for them, most of their customers don't understand how to obtain leaked copies of the book. But now I feel bad, and I rarely feel bad about pirating.

...

Yep, definitely purchasing a copy of the book. Gotta support them even if I contributed to the demise of the anti-leak system.

After reading the ending, the only part I ever care about, the book itself looks like it will be promising but will turn into an absurd "let's end the series with a bang!" game that turns anticlimactic quickly.

The publisher still hasn't admitted the leak, although they've called it "convincing". I'd be very surprised if it was a fake. Very, very surprised.

And yeah, my mom's got her copy pre-ordered, so... yeah.

I got a thrill out of the whole leak thing. I dunno. It's like, the publisher spent ten million pounds to keep it secret and secure until the release, and cracking it wide open is kinda exhilarating, in a weird way.

EDIT: This isn't to say I was actually involved in the original leak, I wasn't. But you could probably link me through online acquaintances to the original leaker, in a "Six Degrees of Separation" sort of way.

For those that don't know, I deliver mail. Since the final Harry Potter book will be out on Saturday, I'm estimating that at least 1/2 of the parcels I'll have to deliver will be coming from places like Amazon.com, Waldenbooks, etc.

As you may or may not have learned a copy of the new Harry Potter book was leaked to the internet. I have a copy and I must say that this may be the best of the series. Not because its a good story but because so many people die and it will no doubt send many and emo fan-fag into pseudo-suicidal rage over the loss of their favorite characters and the trampling of their many sick fantasies.

The following are the best moments from this droning waste of stationery:

lol dead people spoilers:
Burbage dies on pg. 12
Hedwig dies on pg. 56
Mad-Eye dies on pg. 78
Scrimgeour dies on pg. 159
Wormtail dies on pg. 471
Dobby dies on pg. 476
Snape dies on pg. 658
Fred Weasley dies on pg. 637
Harry gets fucked up by Voldemort on pg. 704
He comes back to life on pg. 724
Tonks, Lupin, and Colin Creevy have their deaths confirmed on pg. 743
Voldemort kills himself on pg. 743

19 years after the events in the book:
Ron has married Hermione, their two children are named Rose and Hugo
Harry has married Ginny, their three children are named Lily, James, and Albus Severus.
Draco Malfoy has a son named Scorpius
The epilogue shows all of the children boarding the train for Hogwarts together.

The final lines of the book are:
"The scar had not pained Harry for nineteen years. All was well."
"NOT MY DAUGHTER YOU BITCH!" : Molly Weasley, to Bellatrix Lestrange, P. 736
Also: Draco Malfoy is balding by the end of the book.

Have fun using this list of spoilers to piss off potter fans lining up at the bookstore, though don't be suprised if quite a few already have had the scalding pot of beans hurled on their face.

"Why didn't you buy that Prius?" Voldemort hissed, swooping down on his hapless SUV-owning victim.

"B-but.. I like my SUV!"

"NONSENSE!" voldemort roared. "You're destroying the environment, you filthy Muggle! You're releasing carbon into the atmosphere! You see, my Death Eaters and I didn't fight for Wizard supremacy and blood purity and all that rubbish, we fought you Muggles because you're destroying the environment!"

"But... But Tom..." Harry interrupted. "I thought your massacres and terrorism were for immortality."

"At first they were, Harry," Voldemort said. "at first they were. But then you stood in the way of that, your mom gave her life for you, blah blah blah, and then when I came back I decided to help the environment so I could live and not have to worry about polluting my lungs. I don't want to live for an eternity with asthma and global warming and pollution and all that, you know."

"Oh..."

"So it's still for immortality?" Harry asked.

"Err... let's get back to torturing this guy. CRUCIO!"

"Hey!" Harry intervened. "We can't torture a Muggle!"

"Yeah.. well.. AVADA KEDAVRA!" Harry fell dead. The man screamed.

"So... trade your SUV in for a hybrid. Now. Save the planet or face the dire consequences!"

"But the SUV was cheaper! You stupid tree-hugging hippie, I don't have a ton of money, you know!"

"AVADA KEDAVRA!"

Yes, thank you for not marking your thread with a spoilers tag. I hate it when people spoil stuff for others for the sake of harming them. Yes, I spoiled myself...I read the whole thing. I can, in fact, confirm every detail he mentioned.

What he glosses over is the rest of the book...even knowing these details, it's still a fun read. Best in the series, as he said, for different reasons. 'Course, it's still a children's book, but hey, as children's books go, it's a damned good one.

I'm treating all the "spoilers" in this thread a s fake until the weekend, when I KNOW for sure if they are fake.
