Deathly Hallows already in the hands of librarians
Deathly Hallows already in the hands of librarians To whet your taste buds, check out this photo depicting a few Deathly Hallows boxes sitting in a Charleston library.

According to this article, librarians received special permission to open the boxes early for cataloging. The books are not allowed to be placed on display until July 21st.

Thanks to Jeffrey for the tip!

That looks pretty real..... Howd you get it? And could you email me the chapter titles please.... cooper2085@hotmail.co.uk


Posted by ginerva_weasley Jul 15th 2007

hpfan07 - if you have a copy of the book, im the queen of england. stuff like this belongs on the onion, not mugglenet.


Posted by Cooper2085 Jul 15th 2007

Ginerva_Weasley.....have a look at the pic. Dosnt look shopped to me, unless its a very very good print of the cover wrapped around another book..... dunno take a look at the pic.


Posted by pottersweasle722 Jul 15th 2007

OOOOOHHHHHH THAT IS SOOOOO NOT FAIR!!!!!:D I wanna ba a librarian too!!!!! :D I Can't wait for Friday Night!!!!! MIDNIGHT BOOK PREMIERE!!!!!! Hey, who else is going to the Barnes and Noble premiere in Raciene??????


Posted by mistershnerples Jul 15th 2007

hehe. im glad i work at the library. mwhahaha. just kidding. the librarians are strict about the pages and workers reading the materials, but still. whoever gets to jacket those books will surely take a peak ... and then let everone else know. lol.


Posted by ginerva_weasley Jul 15th 2007

cooper2085 - i did look at the picture. ask yourself, do you really think some random fan could get this book when the workers printing it arent't even allowed to work with lamps?


Posted by McGonagall_Rules Jul 15th 2007

While I'm as anxious as anyone else to read DH, I want to know why, if Mugglenet is serious about preventing spoilers, it would allow for postings by babert or anyone else purporting to have gotten access to the book! I thought all posts were being monitored!!! Is someone asleep at the wheel???


Posted by T0rNaD0 Jul 15th 2007

ginerva_weasley think a bit ffs... The book is already on most book shops and some libraries even have authorization to open the boxes. Getting a copy of the book by this point isn't as hard as it seems...


Posted by Cooper2085 Jul 15th 2007

I agree Ginerva_weasley completley. But if thats a photoshopped pic its done well. If thats a normal printed cover then its done well. I know when HBP came out a friend of mine got a copy that had "fell of the back of a lorry".


Posted by hpfreak07 Jul 15th 2007

dont believe me....id like to see someone prove to me that its not real


Posted by ginerva_weasley Jul 15th 2007

hpfreak07 - id like to see you prove it is real. im more hermione than luna. i need evidence befor ei believe people's ridiculous claims.


Posted by FlaMe_ForteScue Jul 15th 2007

I read some spoilers...I have to say that it's a fake!...Why would harry name his son albus severus, really?....lol.....I have seen the table of contents and i'm 100% convinced that it's real...I can't wait!!!!...5 more days to go!!!!!!!!!!


Posted by pottersweasle722 Jul 15th 2007

I agree with McGonagall_Rules!!! I think....Is what you mean, you want to read the book, but there shouldn't be spoilers cuz some people (LIKE ME!!!!) Don't want to hear little bits and parts of DH that we are going to find out in 5 days????(Oh my God!!!! sorry God, 5 Days!!!!!!!) If that's what you mean, then I agree with you 100%!!!!!!:D If not, then I have no idea what you are saying.........in that case, please explain........


Posted by hpfreak07 Jul 15th 2007

ginerva_weasley...what would you like? chapter titles....summary of parts....name it?


Posted by Cooper2085 Jul 15th 2007

hpfreak07 email me please, please, please, please chapter titles and first page.


Posted by babert Jul 15th 2007

Guys .... this is Babert. I was joking, i don't work at a library and I have not read or seen or breathed around the book. Sorry, just wanted to have some fun. I made all that I said up. Also, the epilogue is fake. Scholastic said that it was 784 pages long, but the scanned epilogue pictures show an ending at 759 pages. So don't worry its a fake.


Posted by pottersweasle722 Jul 15th 2007

REALLY????? It's 759, not 784???? OOOOOOOH!!!!! That is soooooo kool!!!!!!! babert, are you sirius (serious)???????????


Posted by ginerva_weasley Jul 15th 2007

hpfreak07- allie_is_treble@msn.com and i'd love to see you forge a scan of the last page. good luck.


Posted by babert Jul 15th 2007

Yah of course the epilogue is fake. The book is 784 pages, and the idiot who made the fake scan forgot that key detail.


Posted by pottersweasle722 Jul 15th 2007

oops!!! sorry, THAT IS BAD!!!!!! :C, I thought it said 748, not 784......man!! now I'm all bummed out........*sniff sniff*


Posted by PotterChickFoSho Jul 15th 2007

lol, my mothers a librarian...


Posted by hpfreak07 Jul 15th 2007

AHHAHA alright everyone called my bluff cooper2085 sorry for getting your hopes up nice to see hp fans gang up on spoilers HOWEVER...i did not make that image and i dont know who did...i came across it and i am wondering if people can prove it is A FAKE......personally to me it looks to thin


Posted by pottersweasle722 Jul 15th 2007

Oh ok, now I'm happy again!!!! 184 pages!!!!! YAAAAYAAAAYAAAAYAAAAYAAAA Y!!!!!!!


Posted by Cooper2085 Jul 15th 2007

>.> I was fooled. And in my moment of weakness i buckled and begged for spoilers. I suck....I think im going to go media silent for the next 5 days lol


Posted by ravenrosebud Jul 15th 2007

I work at a very small rural library. We haven't got our copies of Deathly Hallows yet, it gets sent to the main branch first and then to us. The Head Librarian is going to let me take the book home and read since she said it doesn't state in the contract we signed that staff can't read it just that we can't display it or check it out to patrons. Hopefully by Tuesday I'll have it in my hands!!!


Posted by T0rNaD0 Jul 15th 2007

ravenrosebud please add me in msn or email me at danielcarvalhobt@gmail.co m


Posted by pottersweasle722 Jul 15th 2007

you don't suck copper2085, we all kinda sorta a little bit want spoilers, we just.....I don't know contain ourselves better.......no offence, I was just kidding.......hey ravenrosebud, do you know what libraries get DH????? I work at a really small library too, but we never got any......e-mail me pottersweasle722@yahoo.co m.......PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE e-mail me!!!! I don't want to read it, just I want to know if I'll get it!!!!!


Posted by Cooper2085 Jul 15th 2007

I just really want to know the first 3 chapter titles.......I read the entire fake book that was on the internet and was in a mess at the end...anyone else read that? Was a really good book tbh lol


Posted by babert Jul 15th 2007

Does anyone have the link to the scanned index?


Posted by morbius2k3 Jul 15th 2007

I want to know what happens right now lol but i also would love to read 1 page a day for the next 2 years >.> I wonder what the deathly hallows are? The smart money is on Horcruxes i guess.


Posted by aleksio Jul 15th 2007

Posted by babert Jul 15th 2007

Aleksio which spoiler do you say is not a fake


Posted by pottersweasle722 Jul 15th 2007

Posted by babert Jul 15th 2007

ALEKSIO which spolier???????


Posted by pottersweasle722 Jul 15th 2007

Hey!!!! someone answer me!!!!! pretty please.......


Posted by lupin Jul 15th 2007

if anyone is here who has read the last chapter for real, Please tell the epilogue is fake. Because if that turns out to be true, I will loath this book.


Posted by Slytherin15 Jul 15th 2007

noooooo i dont want the books to come out early!!!


Posted by TerrierMom Jul 15th 2007

We will have them Thursday at the retail store I work in. But the Manager will lock them up until the 21st


Posted by pottersweasle722 Jul 15th 2007

hey hey hey.......I want to see this epilogue, how do I get to it???? please please please tell me!!!!


Posted by babert Jul 15th 2007

Lupin Less: I can tell you almost certainly that the epilogue is fake. A long time ago the length of the book was reaveled to be 784 pages, though in the scanned pictures the epilogue ends on page 759. It must be a fake. Take a look for yourself.
