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!

If you look at the comments 100-150 ginerva there are some links, look fake to me.


Posted by chompo Jul 15th 2007

Okay, I'm just *drooling* over that. Oooh!


Posted by aleksio Jul 15th 2007

we will see, I'm actually bookmarking some of the spoiler pages to show some of it where real when we have the book:) Trust me, someone does indeed HAVE THE BOOK RIGHT NOW, just think, it's not one, but many million copies, and after all they are just books, and even though being well protected, not impossible to get. Just face it. The chapter titles ARE most likely true. eid lliw noR. Sorry, the world isn't fair:P


Posted by Siv Jul 15th 2007

hahah i woudl get the job for the week grab a box then move state hhahahahahahahha all the stafff well read the 1st few chapters only FIVE DAYS LEFT...!!!!!!!


Posted by amzing Jul 15th 2007

those sneaky librarians....i wonder how they landed that job


Posted by aleksio Jul 15th 2007

In addition, can anyone of you honestly say you think the chapter titles sounds fake? To those who are interrested, here's some more discussion of several spoilers, if they are real or fake etc: http://talk.portkey.org/i ndex.php?showtopic=24329& st=540&p=343855&#entry343 855

alright alexio!!! you are being over ruled!!! NO ONE IS ON YOUR SIDE!!!! AND NONE OF THE HARRY POTTER BOOKS ARE "JUST BOOKS"!!!!!!!!!!! saying that should be a sin!!!!! God frowns upon you........ I mean you are titled to your own opinion, of course, but siriusly, just drop it!!!!!!


Posted by Luxmbrg_Harry Jul 15th 2007

spoilers - stay away from me! I won't read ya stupid comments anymore, they're making me mad, and those glorious scans pfff have you read the names: Albus (shortly - Al^^), Teddy.. blahh I'm tired of reading such stuff but my curiosity is so big, I think I'll stop reading all comments bout DH on the net till I have my copy


Posted by aleksio Jul 15th 2007

Pottersweasle722, It's rather you not daring to face the truth(: You must admit it sounds a little naive to believe that not a single soul has even looked at one of the many millions of copies all around the globe? To be able to say it's fake you have obviously read all the spoilers I assume? Cause either you're just stupid, not having read the spoilers, and just trusting peoples honesty, or I bet you've read the spoilers in lack of self-dicipline, and afterwards denying what you just read:) no offense :) sorry for bad english, a little late in Norway atm:P


Posted by hallowsaint Jul 15th 2007

hey cheesecakeians we have a spoiler alert on aleksio.......you know what you must do and for God's sake do it quick.......major death aggie alert.


Posted by aleksio Jul 15th 2007

no danger, i won't spoil any of you:P I'm no fan of spoilers:) I just think you have to realize that everything you have read, in lack of will-power, isn't necessarily false, even though you really wish so. And browsing HP sites, forums, comments etc. is NOT the smartest thing you could do if you wish to remain unspoiled ;)


Posted by hallowsaint Jul 15th 2007

um hpfreak07 that book is way too freakin small to be DH I mean the book has 789 pages and that barily looked bigger than the Chamber of Secrets if it even was bigger than the Chamber of Secrets and plus all he would have had to do is print out an image of the book cover and wrap it onto another book.


Posted by Stripe Jul 15th 2007

The notion that no bookseller or librarian has had a secret peek at the book by now is frankly laughable. I knew that Snape killed Dumbledore five days before HBP was released. The page was scanned by someone called "4chan". Guess what? It's five days before the release of DH, and those epilogue photos that have been posted can apparently be traced back to the very same "4chan". Sorry, guys.


Posted by mistershnerples Jul 15th 2007

can i have the link to these pictures or whatever. im so confused. lol.


Posted by peppermint_toad Jul 15th 2007

this is driving me crazy!!! they actually have the top box open!! i wish i could turn the picture and look inside!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!


Posted by aleksio Jul 15th 2007

finally someone mature enough to admit the truth, thanks Stripe:P


Posted by hallowsaint Jul 15th 2007

anyway i never said nobody's gotten a peak at the book....i just said that these stupid people should keep it to themselves and to you aleksio i have not read any spoilers, nor will I. The stuff on these comments are just ideas and opinions and if someone put down a real spoiler it would get deleted why else do ya'll spoiler freaks have to put down links........seriously though i'm about to stop getting on here because i don't even want to be tempted to look at spoilers anymore especially with only 5 days left and there probably are scans of the real book and i don't want them popping up on my screen.

Posted by littleh2o7 Jul 15th 2007

lol, I would love to try and get one of those boxes today or tomorrow and fill it with some rocks or something and set it outside of walmart and watch everybody freak out...AHAHAH. that would be freakin sweet


Posted by qazplm91 Jul 15th 2007

It's so weird to think that those are the accual Harry Potter 7 books!!!!!!! This is so exiting. i can hardly contain myself. I'm never ganna be able to fall asleep the night before its released!!!!! OH JEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEZ!!!! :D


Posted by yoroshiku Jul 15th 2007

i wish i was a librarian


Posted by Sectumbumprahaha Jul 15th 2007

A van carrying the books to a local main library here morroco was carjacked and the books removed n given to the locals cos the jackers thought it was worthless. A journalist friend of mine found the books and has said that 'the dark lord ascending' is indeed the first chapter. There's is no spoiler here ... I won't do that to you guys but he has read the book and harry indeed dies after snape. Vold is pushed through the veil and the archway dias broken.


Posted by aleksio Jul 15th 2007

hallowsaint, I totally agree, tbh I haven't read much of the spoilers myself, just scanned through most of it, and had a look at those scanned pictures. And it's none of my intention to spoil and hence ruin the book for anyone, I just find it amusing how all the weak people are so sure that all the spoilers they have read are fake. Go offline and hf every1:)


Posted by Boojum Jul 15th 2007

Geeze those librarians have a sick sense of humor. http://harrypotter7wt f.ytmnd.com/


Posted by jklatham Jul 15th 2007

GAH!!! The first box is open!!! I want a look! The Libarians r probs reading it right now!!!


Posted by ginerva_weasley Jul 15th 2007

honestly, who makes a fake epilouge and gets the page count wrong?


Posted by CR00KSHANKSS Jul 15th 2007

What? Really? How long is the book, actually? My newspaper printed that it'll be 607 pages, but that's the same as HBP so I think theres an error


Posted by aleksio Jul 15th 2007

lmao Sectumbumprahaha:P probably the worst attempt of a fake spoiler this far, but certainly funny^^


Posted by Boojum Jul 15th 2007

It looks like 753 to me Ginerva_weasley.


Posted by hallowsaint Jul 15th 2007

the page count is 789 and sectumbumprahaha that was totally fake cause who's left to shove the Dark Lord through the veil....and i doubt the strongest dark wizard of the age would let anyone push him or get within a foot of him if he didn't want them to.


Posted by libraryelf Jul 15th 2007

I don't know about other library systems, but ours have had the book info. in the computer so that people could put it on hold. The regular print, large print and the CDs. I'm picking mine up a Borders, my first 12:01 am pickup, I ususally get in the mail. But books go to out our HQ, normally the courier takes the books to each library branch/member and a note is add to those that can not be realeased yet. Since I won't be there this week, I don't know if my branch as it already or if HQ will be sending them out on Friday or Monday, we do not received deliveries on Saturday. As soon as the branch allowed to, the books are checked in, the hold list start being filled. If you can buy your book or cd right now, try your local library to see how many copies there are and how long the hold list is. Remember to read something every day!!!


Posted by SteffieSnape Jul 15th 2007

No, Sectumbumprahaha, that's not how the book ends at all! The way it ends is Voldy is captured and tied to a beanpole as Harry shoves cheesecake down his throat until he bursts watched by Snape and Ginny who are doing a jig. That's how it ends :)


Posted by hallowsaint Jul 15th 2007

just looked it up guys 784 pages sorry about the mistake.......steffiesnap e your my cheesecakeian hero and yes sectumbumprahaha that is the ending we determined it through our cheesecake powers.


Posted by Sectumbumprahaha Jul 15th 2007

Anyone wondering how they got to the death room? They got to the ministry of magic after Vold cornered harry in hogwarts , got the sword to make into a horcrux. Harry figured out earlier in the book that the room of requirements doorway is a portal to rooms you desire. The room just doesn't appear when you desire it. Harry desired the ministry of magic death room, n Vold followed... . The figures on the american cover is indeed departed souls as the archway was used as a room to execute wizards before azkaban


Posted by hallowsaint Jul 15th 2007

where do you live again........and why wouldn't this be on the news majorly right now......and JO would have said something and so would the publishers.


Posted by SteffieSnape Jul 15th 2007

Oh, how clever Sectumbumprahaha.... they got to the MoM from Hogwarts through the RoR. That one was at least decent :) But you've still clearly got it all wrong.... those hijackers stole the wrong HP books apparently. Probably the book all these spolier posting morons dreamed into existence. If cheesecake is not mentioned then it can't be anything close to the real book. Our powers have revealed this information to us so we don't drop of a heart attack everytime we see stupid spoilers like that. Our lives are more useful defending the cheesecake realm than dropping dead over fake spoilers. Now, who'd like a piece of cheesecake?


Posted by hallowsaint Jul 15th 2007

and anyway sectumpoopoo this can't be real because quite obviously it would be stupid for carjackers to steal something and then risk to give it to the locals who just happened to be your friend the journalist just happened to find it and didn't report it when it would be a major story.....and so your journalist knowing the consequences takes one of these so called dropped off to the locals books and doesn't even bother to do his/her job and report the robbery or the books because if it was reported then there would be major news about this right now.


Posted by dantheman007 Jul 15th 2007

umm i know this unrelated but i dont know where else to say this. does anyone else think all of proffessor trelawneys precidtions will becom true? examples: her two prohpecies ( we know of);in HBP when she predicts grave dnager , lightning struck tower for dumbledore which comes true; HBP she reads a card while harry is near her which describes him a boy who dislikes the seer is nearby. i think this means her death predictions from harry could be real


Posted by darklordangel Jul 15th 2007

I want one of those boxes!!!


Posted by WeasleyGirl Jul 15th 2007

I bet most of the librarians tore open the boxes and started reading them books already! ahhh I want to be a librarian now! LUCKY them! 5 MORE DAYS!


Posted by Sectumbumprahaha Jul 15th 2007

It is big news in africa, but i suppose that africa is so behind the times that things rarely get out fast enough. Do you people know how rural n arid morroco is? Come by sometime


Posted by SteffieSnape Jul 15th 2007

Yeah, Sectumpoopoo.... it seems like suuuuuuuch a coincidence and you must be really lucky to have a friend in a village who's friends with a journalist who knew a carjacker that stole the new HP books and remarkably... it's not on the news. I suspect nargles are behind this. I am sad to say this, but you have lost the priveledge of eating cheesecake with us. You may redeem yourself at some point, but we'll see. Oh, and dantheman007 it's possible some of her predictions may come true. I mean, the ones where she was actually giving a true prophecy have been quite accurate. However, like a lot of things some of it is coincidence I think and it depends onhow you interret things. As for Harry dying, I have no idea. I can see it going either way and I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if he lives or dies. We'll see won't we? Just a few more days. Would you care for some cheesecake?


Posted by pwpd Jul 15th 2007

OMG OMG OMG I CAN'T WAIT!!! :-D


Posted by wandless Jul 15th 2007

Umm... WHY IS THE FIRST BOX ON THAT PILE OPEN??? Surely they can't be cataloging them ALREADY?!? Darn. Now I've really got to watch out for spoilers...


Posted by weasleyismyking17 Jul 15th 2007

i wish i were a librarian. dang


Posted by SteffieSnape Jul 15th 2007

Also, you haven't done your research Sectumpoopoo. You might want to know that the release date of the 21st is for english speaking countries only. Last time I heard, Morrocco wasn't an english speaking country. All other release dates are some weeks later, even months, because they need to be translated. Hmmmm.... so I really doubt a van carrying the books has been car jacked because there wasn't one to begin with. As I said before, Nargles have confunded you... or something.


Posted by Willowrose Jul 15th 2007

darn it! If only I still had my tech processing job!!!


Posted by mariatc Jul 15th 2007

SteffieSnape: i also dont think they hijacked a va n with the books, thats stupid, it would be on the news. But they are releasing book 7 in over 60 countries on the 21st, even if they are not english speaking countries. they dont wait for translations, they release the english version and like 1 year later they release the book in the language for that country. i know that because i live in peru and ill be getting my book this saturday just like you :) now, wheres the cheesecake?


Posted by hallowsaint Jul 15th 2007

yes steffiesnape has proven you wrong sectumpoopoo it will take weeks for these books to be translated and as you said Africa is behind on the times and so those books will probably be translated last and so you probably won't get them till August or September so there's no way a stinkin van came through morocco.


Posted by jooonnohh Jul 15th 2007

Wow... wonder how many people are going to go to the nearest library and steal a copy :o
