I found this interesting: a survey on Harry Potter readers found that only 1/3 of them think Harry will survive the Deathly Hallows! A quarter of readers said they would seek the spoilers that have cropped up everywhere to find out before they actually read the book. I think it's a shame that avid fans would ruin the ending for themselves. But I guess people don’t think it’s really the ending: Almost half said they think Rowling will write MORE Potter books. We can only hope!
Check out the survey results here: http://www.gmi-mr.com/gmipoll/release.php?p=20070717
"please give me any reason to stamp my little feet and get angry, or hold my breath or stomp off in a snit."
"Please take down your post, which contains no spoilers, but has the name Harry Potter in it, and if I read that sacred name before Friday I will implode."
Salon has clearly attracted some very sad, lonely people. Reading a book does not spoil the book...
i cant believe it.
if u want to noe wat i mean, (which u dont) look at rakhia's posting (guess what?)
i dont noe if its true, but it ttly ruined it for me if it is. i think that if someone wants to do this, fine, but dont go posting all this crap all over the internet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it is not right!!!

Please! Please! Please! Somebody please help me! I want to read it beforehand, but i can't figure out how to download it! PLEASE!!!! HELP!!!!
I cannot believe Salon published these lines:
To get the book, go to the Pirate Bay and search for "Harry Potter." You'll see several links to versions offered through Bittorrent, as well as some links to various sites on the Web that offer a PDF of all the pictures. (That's the sort I got.) Have fun!
I have never read a word of Harry Potter, but as a professional writer who feeds his children from the sale of books, I know that today is the last day my computer will ever be soiled by Salon.com and its staff of criminals. That Mr. Manjoo (and Salon.com) would defend the above paragraph because it doesn't include an actual link is beyond sickening.
I can only hope that Farhad Manjoo is prosecuted to the full extent of the law for aiding a crime in progess.
(And, if Glenn Greenwald has one ounce of integrity, he will cease his association with Salon.com today.)
Knowing Snape makes it to page 600-something is a spoiler, as another poster pointed out.
Rowling could have started her book with the death of Snape, or had it happen in Chapter 2, using the death and its circumstances to fully unwind the mystery of whose side Snape was really on.
Now I know that he remains a live, critical figure throughout the book, before I read the book.
THAT is a spoiler, and you should have known better.
Huh. Didn't expect Salon to jump on the sleazy ship of the Leaked Potter. Nice work, Farhad.
And zowie, some of the fans using txt-msg-spk for railing against the spoilers, and the one who can't figure out how to get the download (!!!! more exclamation points will surely help you in your plea !!!!)... I would have thought after plowing through all the previous Potter books, their grammar would be a bit more coherent.
(What, you're serious, you say? Why yea Gods! Quickly, to the tech manual for the Internets! All will be revealed to you... but first, bring some Coke and Kung Pow Chicken, then we can talk. Don't forget your binder for the handouts.)
I suspect that the original posting of this photo edition was in the nntp group alt binaries e-book. It appeared there EARLY yesterday morning, and yes, it included photos of all the pages.
Score another one for the anarchistic denizens of usenet?
Harry Lives!!
Long Live Harry!!!
And not Windsor!
If he knew anything about it.
I have managed to get to the link he was mentioning and it isn't straight forward as everyone thinks it is.
At the end of the day i will still go out and buy the book, i think if you want to read it early why not?
Why are you getting mad at the person in question, all they did was tell people where it could be found. You don't have to go on that site!!
It was doing my head in to be honest waiting til friday so i for one was actively seeking to try and find out what happened. It doesn't mean it wont make the book any less enjoyable for me when i do get it (and i shall still be at Tesco's at 12.01am on Saturday getting my copy)
To the person who is desperate to find the book all you need to do is look on the links and you can find out all you need to know. I would post my email address on here so people if they want to can get the link off me, but i think that might violate tos.
Rowling generates more "buzz", websites and TV that wouldn't normally cover something like a book release are given half an excuse to run yet another Harry Potter free promo! To top it all off, the "leak" is barely legible and would cause anyone who attempts to read it to throw up their hands up in disgust and just go buy the damn thing!
This won't depress sales. This will help sales. Congrats, all of you helped Rowling get a lttle bit richer!
