Scholastic gets subpoena to identify spoiler
Scholastic gets subpoena to identify spoiler The LA Times is reporting that the US Harry Potter publisher obtained a subpoena to learn the identity of a user who allegedly posted copies of Deathly Hallows on a California website.

Scholastic said in a court filing Monday that "materials hosted on Photobucket.com's system" contain materials that infringe copyrights owned by Scholastic and J.K. Rowling, author of the Harry Potter books. Photobucket.com, a News Corp. unit, is a website for sharing photos and videos on social networks such as MySpace.

The subpoena was sent to Gaia Interactive Inc. in San Jose seeking the identity of a user on gaiaonline.com, a social network, according to the filing in San Francisco federal court.

Gaia complied with the subpoena, removed the material and temporarily banned the user from the site, said Gaia spokesman Bill Danon.

No, the notepad is something way different.

Be carefull with limewire. There are viruses hiding among some of the files. If it is a pic format (jpg, gif) it should be fine. But if it is exe or even zip, be very, very carefull. I'm 99% sure it's a fake though.


Posted by naikuria Jul 18th 2007

Scholastic is still neither confirming or denying any of the spoilers. And they haven't denied any of the spoilers that have been released months ago. They also said that "material to be pulled down did not mean it was authentic." Who knows? Maybe deathly hallows hasn't been spoiled. Notice I'm hoping for the best!


Posted by hp_rocks13 Jul 18th 2007

the book has some spelling errors here and there.....but do british use the word Native Americans?


Posted by Kgblack_nz Jul 18th 2007

How are these spoilers getting out? I've read that there are security guards watching the people that pack the boxes so they can't get a sneak peak. I certainly hope the people who have seen the spoilers won't ruin it for others.


Posted by felin_the_wolf Jul 18th 2007

Yeah, I've gotten a few from limewire as a matter of fact (mine were easy enough to remove, but if they'd been bad...), which is why I no longer use it. The one on limewire is a definite fake, and I think it's just some fanfiction. To get the images of the books, you've got to use a file sharing website, and not program.


Posted by taylor77139 Jul 18th 2007

SPOILER snape kills dumbledore!!!!!!!!....... .... wait wrong book


Posted by darkfog Jul 18th 2007

umm after i have downloaded winzip, how do i get the thingy on it, i dont usually use these kinds of sharing programs


Posted by lazydj18 Jul 18th 2007

Look, if people want to read the book before it comes out i would let them, im not saying that ileagley downloading it is "fair" but if they dont spoil it for anyone dont go snitching to muggle net on them so the site can be shut down let it be if they start dishing out details then go ahead do what u wish, but otherwise let it be, its fun to know what happened in the 7th book while others have no clues what happens, hehe it truly is fun :)


Posted by Spown Jul 18th 2007

You gotta love limewire for the music though. Anyway, it's all fake. Do you want me to say it again? All spoilers out there are fake. This way you will sleep easier untill the 21st. PS I suggest not going to Yahoo! for the last few days.


Posted by felin_the_wolf Jul 18th 2007

darkfrog - if the file you downloaded ends in .zip (which I reccomend you download one that is. They're much easier to work with) then you right click that file, mouse over "WinZip" and it'll give you an option to "Extract to here." Then you've got 'em. You might need to use some sort of zoom option to read the pages.


Posted by darkfog Jul 18th 2007

GUYS SOMEONE TELL ME HOW TO USE WINZIP

You fools are in denial. While some of these so-called "copies" of DH are clearly fake, there is ONE real one. This is the one with the publication page (with a valid ISBN number), the dedication, the Mary Grandpre art, and has the following: BELLATRIX KILLS RON, NEVILLE KILLS BELLA, VOLDY KILLS SNAPE, PERCY AND LUPIN DIE, HARRY KILLS VOLDEMORT!


Posted by lazydj18 Jul 18th 2007

the last word is death... thats what it is i believe or i was told.


Posted by lazyj519 Jul 18th 2007

GREAT! DO NOT READ THE YAHOO POST ABOUT THE BOOK AND SPOILERS.. I FIGURED SINCE THEY WERE DOING AN ARTICLE ON SPOILERS THEY WOULDN'T HAVE ANYTHING SPOILING THE FREAKING BOOK.. BUT IN THE SECOND TO LAST LINE THEY TALK ABOUT ONE OF THE SPOILERS OF ONE OF THE SITES TALKING ABOUT "THE FATE OF HARRYS (FRIEND)" EXCEPT THEY SAY THE PERSONS NAME.... Now cmon.... even yahoo F**Ked up....... god.


Posted by i_loverz_HP Jul 18th 2007

im going crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it all seems so fake that the LAST and FINAL book of harry potter will be coming out :[ like yeah im excited duh who wouldn't be but then look at the negative side after the movies it will all be gone. thats a horrible thought but sadly it is true. and i cant even realize that the book is coming out. i mean u know ive been waiting here day after day 49 more days 48 more days finally 3 more days and it deosnt seem real im glad it is though cuz the suspense is KILLING ME!


Posted by darkfog Jul 18th 2007

what i meant is, how do i find the file in the first place, to put it on winzip


Posted by Spown Jul 18th 2007

And where is that book, jerkyhole? Can we see it?


Posted by jerkyhole Jul 18th 2007

I can e-mail it.


Posted by gsus_krice Jul 18th 2007

Really now Jerkyhole my copy also has those things (ala # and dedications) I have the so called "crappy ending version" which goes as follows I would have hated to see this on the internet before i read the " book" so............. PLEASE DONT READ PLEASE DONT READ PLEASE DONT READ PLEASE DONT READ PLEASE DONT READ PLEASE DONT READ PLEASE DONT READ PLEASE DONT READ PLEASE DONT READ PLEASE DONT READ PLEASE DONT READ PLEASE DONT READ 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 but comes back to life on pg. 724 Tonks, Lupin, and Colin Creevy have their deaths confirmed 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 18 years. All was well." Plot Spoilers Part of Voldemort's soul was implanted into Harry whenever he used Ara Kadvara on him when he was a baby. Harry then sacrafices himself a la Lilly Potter style, which allows him to kill Voldemort without killing himself. He brings himself back to life using a wand and a rock Snape went to the good side (Hogwarts, etc.) because he was all emo that Voldemort killed Lilly Potter

Posted by lazydj18 Jul 18th 2007

Posted by Kevin14W Jul 18th 2007

Posted by Spown Jul 18th 2007

Posted by gsus_krice Jul 18th 2007

It felt off I dunno it was fun to read and feel like i had the book but IM SO READING IT MAYBE FOR THE 2ND TIME ON FRIDAY AT 12


Posted by darkfog Jul 18th 2007

yo jerky, email me yours, and ill e-mail you the actual script, i think it was hacked of jos cpu


Posted by brideonfire Jul 18th 2007

hey jerkyhole, i'd really appreciate it if you sent me a copy: puppetontheleft@ aol.com


Posted by gsus_krice Jul 18th 2007

Nah Dark tot fake for sure anything scanned or in a text or word file has to be doubted. I have the actual jpgs. PHOTOS MAN of the book but like everyone else am concerned with the whole page # thing. Maybe the guy wrote his own epilogue ehhh w/e 2 days.


Posted by TeeNa Jul 18th 2007

gsus_krice, I beleive this version is very true, there was everything correct and the answers were given, I trust that this could be a very close thing to what we'll see on 21st plus... the whole book? every single pic there is different, why would they print a whole book? those guys on the video were begging for attention, giving things everyone was expecting to hear, who is the headmaster, who kills who, it was what they wanted to tell, probably not what it was for real


Posted by lazydj18 Jul 18th 2007

ya now i have to actually buy the book damnit


Posted by Spown Jul 18th 2007

I guess jerkyhole is gone... still haven't received his e-mail. Teena, i which spoiler book are you talking about?


Posted by TeeNa Jul 18th 2007

don't be fooled ny the page number thing, it's 759 because there are more then dozen pages before and after the main part, there are vene blank pages for the notes, with all that it'll be 784


Posted by gsus_krice Jul 18th 2007

I don't doubt its validity. Its just the page #'s that bother me. And the photos are of the book on the same carpet same setting so I'm 70-80% sure that the guy did it in 1 to 2 sittings of photographs. The questions were pretty much answered I think a rereading will help. The thing that bugged me the most was that DONT READ DONT READ DONT READ DONT READ DONT READ DONT READDONT READ DONT READ DONT READ DONT READ DONT READ DONT READDONT READ DONT READ DONT READ DONT READ DONT READ DONT READDONT READ DONT READ DONT READ DONT READ DONT READ DONT READDONT READ DONT READ DONT READ DONT READ DONT READ DONT READDONT READ DONT READ DONT READ DONT READ DONT READ DONT READDONT READ DONT READ DONT READ DONT READ DONT READ DONT READDONT READ DONT READ DONT READ DONT READ DONT READ DONT READDONT READ DONT READ DONT READ DONT READ DONT READ DONT READDONT READ DONT READ DONT READ DONT READ DONT READ DONT READDONT READ DONT READ DONT READ DONT READ DONT READ DONT READDONT READ DONT READ DONT READ DONT READ DONT READ DONT READDONT READ DONT READ DONT READ DONT READ DONT READ DONT READDONT READ DONT READ DONT READ DONT READ DONT READ DONT READDONT READ DONT READ DONT READ DONT READ DONT READ DONT READDONT READ DONT READ DONT READ DONT READ DONT READ DONT READ We never find out about his parents jobs.


Posted by Spown Jul 18th 2007

You know, they could've copied the story from a fanfiction site, with or without the author's consent.


Posted by Kevin14W Jul 18th 2007

now chapters 1=10 are available in pdf form off of a torrent

Wow i totally didn't think they counted those pages in publication. I was thinking pages with you know story after that i come up with about 7-8 more then 784 but I think some could be subtracted that don't count. They must count pages with text. Well if i did read the book. Awesome and for all of you who dislike the ending fudge YOU FOR READING IT EARLY. In context its great. I don't think JK expected you to JUMP TO THE END READ THE EPILOGUE AND BE LIKE WOW JO THAT SUCKS. READ THE fudge BOOK BEFORE YOU ARE SO QUICK TO JUDGE SUCH A GREAT AUTHOR BECAUSE AFTER CONTEXT THE ENDING IS THE BEST IT COULD BE.

Posted by TeeNa Jul 18th 2007

Spown, there was a video of two guys "spoiling" the book says the facts that were just lame adding "oh, you'll love that, there will be a huge battle" They didn't explain what the DH were, nothing about James and Lily, nothing about Dumbledore's past, just conclusions from editorials Btw, as someone said before, we never knew by the title what the books were about, so the DH are obvously new things and juding by what the photos say, it's very convincing Blame me on believing that, there ARE people who have access to that and Levine would never tell even if it was him making those pictures


Posted by Spown Jul 18th 2007

***Possible Spoiler*** Is this :http://www.zendurl.com/h /hallows/ the site everyone is talking about?


Posted by TeeNa Jul 18th 2007

One of the pages on zendurl is definitely fake, obviously made in desperate attempt to fit the possible plot, the epilogue is the same, so there are two different versions of the same epilogue (I mean two different set of pic presenting one thing). Read carefully, read between the lines, it's too well written. And if it's a fiction, I want to invest in the person who wrote it, lol :D


Posted by Spown Jul 18th 2007

I agree with teena. Can i see the other version of the epilogue? Now i really think this is fanfiction.

MAJOR SPOILERS BELOW MAJOR SPOILERS BELOW MAJOR SPOILERS BELOW MAJOR SPOILERS BELOW MAJOR SPOILERS BELOW MAJOR SPOILERS BELOW MAJOR SPOILERS BELOW MAJOR SPOILERS BELOW MAJOR SPOILERS BELOW MAJOR SPOILERS BELOW MAJOR SPOILERS BELOW MAJOR SPOILERS BELOW MAJOR SPOILERS BELOW MAJOR SPOILERS BELOW MAJOR SPOILERS BELOW MAJOR SPOILERS BELOW THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS IN THE EPILOGUE: Harry and Ginny are married. They have 2 sons and one daughter. Sons: Albus Severus Potter, and James Potter, Daughter: Lily Potter. Ron and Hermione get married. One son, one daughter. Hugo Weasley, and Rose Weasley. I'm pretty sure Remus Lupin is dead, but he and Tonks did have a child together, his name is Teddy Lupin. Malfoy is also married to some unkown person, with a son named Scorpius. Neville is now known as Professor Longbottom (if you get what im trying to say) Ill say this, JK definitely set up a new series, if need be it. At the end of it all, Albus was the only one of Harry's children who inherited Lily's eyes, the last line of the book: "The scar had not pained Harry for nineteen years. All was well."


Posted by Featherally Jul 18th 2007

Maybe Scholastic is only taking legal action to show that would happen if someone DID leak it. Or maybe they're only doing it to confuse people about spoilers. I mean, wouldn't it make sense? Fake spoliers. Everyone thinks they're real. No one goes looking for more.


Posted by Spown Jul 18th 2007

**spoilers** Yeah that's what you get out of the epilogue. It's totally different than what the text version says on the site. I still think it's fan fic though. I mean, Harry naming his son Albus Severus?
