heres one i thought of after rrereading HBP, in the 2nd chap, Bella seems to not have as great a realationship with Voldy. then later DD tells harry that Voldy never had or ever will have friends, and some DE claim to be close even the best but Voldy is a loner. So i think that Bella might know of a horcrux and after being emotionally hurt by Tom she'll turn and some how help the trio find and destroy a horcrux. Plausible?

dude the spoilers r FAKE it is not her writing style and the book is 784 pages not 759 so its fake dont worry about it.

gosh, i keep seeing all this kinda stuff on youtube comments and everywhere i look, so i'm not getting on the internet for a couple days. i don't even think they're real, but they're still getting on my nerves. and if that book is real (which i seriously don't think it is), it was probably some jerk librarian or bookseller who already has it.

ok thanks!^_^ ive have been extremely confused about all of that!

All of these "book leaks" all over the Internet are obviously frauds. Remember how all of the publishers, editors and everyone who's already read the book have put the printed copies of the DH in boxes locked in boxes, in big trucks with tracking devices and everything? Nobody could possibly just hack into a publisher's security system and steal the book. The people that try to write a fake book and post it on the Internet are just wasting their time. I'm just so sick and tired of these people who think it's fun to try and ruin the last book for people who love these books and this series.

dude thats interesting rowling did say bellatrix plays a big part in book 7 so thats really probable but i'm not sure though. i don t think she could betray voldemort i think she is in love with him.

ya she is in love with him, and no dark magic is worst then a woman scorned by her lover

i think that a few of the death eaters will betray voldemort, i don't know how or why but i think so...especially narcissa. after all, what with Draco in danger because of voldy and all.

Does anyone have a clear image of page30?

It's a thought and I think that she is going to have a key part in this book, but I think she is a bit of a maniac and she'd be more likely to try and do something drastic (like torture one of the trio or go after Harry herself) to try and win Voldemort's admiration. Only it will backfire in some way and he'll turn on her.

if they are fake... explain the GrandPre art.

hey moonshine!! ^_^

brothercool-- the "GrandPre" art might not have been by Mary GrandPre. Someone else could have drawn it to look like how she would. Or maybe some of her art DID get leaked online. I still am not going to believe any of these spoilers, hovever interesting they might be.

It's all fake--it's been confirmed by scholastic.

"its most likely that the guy subpeonaed because he committed a copyright infringement, just by using the Harry Potter copyright. simple. :) not because the spoilers are real." Exactly. Some people fail to see that. =D

hey sirius_lee! whats up?

Where was it confirmed by Scholastic that the "leaked" versions were fake? I won't believe that confirmation until I see proof.

"ok someone please help me here! are any of the spoilers real? which ones are fake? everyone keeps talking about it and all these different people keep saying they are real then everyone says they are fake! whats going on?" I think we can safely assume they're fake. Way too many inconsistincies.

moonshine--- nm, u

i saw it :( it was a list of everyone who dies with pictures of the corresponding pages and chapters in the books. someone actually posted it on my facebook i am trying my best to forget what i saw...

im fine. only 2 more days until deathly hallows!^_^

you guys scholastic just announced that the leaked version is a FAKE it is not the real book so stop worrying its not real.

moonshine--- YAY!!!!!!!!! then we wont have to bother with spoilers!!!

hey where is this confirmation at i want to see with my own eyes

Again where online can we find this announcement by Scholastic that the "leaks" are a fake? I won't get my hopes up until I see it in front of me.

sirius_lee---yeah i hate spoilers, real or fake! i cant wait to finally have the book!

moonshine--- ur totally rite. hey have u seen jerkyhole lately?

i agree with everyone who hates spoilers no matter if they are made up or if they are real...spoilers make the book so pointless to read...remember...almost all of us have been waiting 10 whole years for this moment and we don't need people to mess it up when there is only 2 days to go

AGAIN WHERE DOES IT SAY SCHOLASTIC CONFIRMED THE SPOILER WAS FAKE!!! PLEASE ANSWER CAUSE ME A PLIM WANT TO KNOW

sirius_lee---no i havent seen him lately. last time he posted spoilers was yesterday. i dont think hes posted any this morning.

moonshine--- no he hasnt, the poor babys taking a nap cuz hes tired from copy pasting all day yesterday

looked at the pictures of the "leaked book" all the text pictures have the funny pixel look of something that has been photoshopped. I do not believe it is the real book. Plus all the spoilers contridict each other. The mystery is still alive.

try scholastic.com

link for scholastic confirmation pls... if no link... then we still in the same spot.

im so glad that all those spoiler are fake! i was scared that there was a real "book leak"!

tell me about it, lots of people r not excited for the book no more cuz of that

beep beep *k huge SPOILER warning* - Harry is a wizard!!!!! - Voldemort is hidden in Quirrel's turban and trying to get back to life!!! *Eeewww....Creepy* - There is a Chamber of Secrets at Hogwarts wid a Baslisk in it...and Ginny is possesed wid a old dairy of Voldemort!!!! *Hmmm...interesting* - Sirius black is innocent and Wormtail is the culprit resposible for James and Lilys death!!!! *oh my gosh who wud hav guessed* - Voldemort is back to life using Harry's blood!!!! *now what???* - Evil Umbridge on the prowl and Sirius dies at Bellatrix's hand!!! *Noooo...wait u cant kill Sirius * :'( - Snape kills Dumbledore *what thts not possible!?!?!?!!!* - Any guesses on this one???? My guess is as good as yours!!! Wait till 21st... *DONT GET TEMPTED TO READ SPOILERS*

i know! it was so sad when i saw all the coments of those people who had read the fake spoilers and thought they were real, so they thought that the book was ruined for them!

yea now somepeople tghink that they already read it so they r not buying no more. so sad!!

moonshine -- can you prove they are fake or real? no. can i? no. again, you are fooled by someone saying that scholastic says they're fake... with no proff of them saying so.

i hope everyone has already found out that its fake so they can buy the book and enjoy the actual story!

I would be very suprised if the book images that are circulating are inaccurate. Currently working in the publisher industry now I can assure you that Scholastic will in no way publicly state if the book is correct/incorrect regardless of the truth. No publisher in their right mind would do so in fear of the almighty dollar, especially on a book of the magnitude and clout. Scholastic will do absolutely nothing until July 21st, until which they will publicly state that the book was in fact leaked. I have been in this industry for 16 years, and I can assure you that with 90% assurance that the leaked camera version on the net is in fact the real deal and the Author/Publisher are now in coverup mode.

i agree drakkenstrike. if they say they are real, they lose sales because fewer people will buy the book. if they say they are fake, they lose sales because *some* people liked what was leak and won't buy the book. what better way to gain more hype than to say nothing, let the book be sold (maybe more will sell now), and have all discover if they are real or not.

Hey and most important of all the *SPOILERS* Voldemort had created Horcruxes and thts the reason tht bloke jus doesn't die!!!!

LOL i've been to that site before!! Wow...i can't believe that happened there.

brothercool---i didnt read the spoilers, so it doesnt really apply to me anyway. well, even if the spoilers were real or fake, i feel bad for the people who read them.

Ok so I'm about to be very rude.. So if you don't likt rude people or comments I suggest you skip mine.. fudge YOU! All you stupid low life people that posted the spoilers on these pages.. I was only reading to find out what was going on and I came across two fudge ASSHOLES talking about deaths.. WE AND BY WE I MEAN THE REAL fudge FANS! DON'T WANNA KNOW WHAT HAPPENES.. YOU ALL NEED TO BURN IN HELL!! Some people have been waiting 10 fudge years and you fudge STUPID ASS people are just gonna fudge it up like that.. God I would torture them if they were in front of me... I don't believe any of it is real untill I read it from Jo's book.. So again fudge YOU spoilers I hope you burn in hell AND I'M fudge GLAD THAT IDIOT THAT STARTED ALL THIS shhh IS GETTING WHAT HE DESERVES... And for you real fans.. I suggest that you only stick to MN and read no comments as people don't know how respect.. And well we have 2 more days!!! I can't fudge wait!! And NO ONE WILL SPOIL MY HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS!!!

I BELIEVE SCHOLASTIC PUT OUT THE LEAKS. READ BELOW AND SEE WHAT YOU THINK. If you didn't see this on a previous page, I believe the entire leaked DH is a brilliant plan masterminded by Scholastic. If I were Scholastic, knowing the immense spoiler potential that lies on the web here's what I would do. I have the resources to have a team of Harvard educated chimps hammer away a fake manuscript on diamond encrusted typewriters. I could EASILY write of a lengthy false story. I would take some of Mary Grandpre's discarded work and attach it to this phony story, bind it to make it look like the real thing, then "leak" some fishy pics of the book to popular file sharing sites. Let simmer for a few days then I announce that I'm looking into punishing the persons responsible for the leak to make it seem legit. Meanwhile, these "leaked" copies not only look legit, but they are infecting every corner of the web sparking a HUGE debate about their validity. Mix that with the inevitable spoilers, false or not, from other sources and voila, you've created the PERFECT red herring. I will GUARANTEE you that on Friday night when you read Deathly Hallows you will see something COMPLETELY different that what you thought you had been spoiled with. It's the perfect plan. If you can't beat the spoilers, join them. THAT'S why there's such Grandpre-ish artwork, THAT'S why the scans look SO real, THAT'S why the epilogue is weak at best, THAT'S why the page numbers don't match, (to create another reason for debate and possibly to tip off the real sleuths), THAT'S why the chapter titles seem out of sorts with what we know of Jo's style. It's a huge bait and switch masterminded by Scholastic. I know it's what I would do.

i understand moonshine... spoilers can ruin things for some and be a common place thing for others. i almost always spoil myself... with just tidbits of info (like these DH leaks) or the whole thing (like the scripts i read for episode 3 and transformers). granted, movie scripts are very different because reading the text often doesn't translate very well to what will be seen on the screen. bits of books... well knowing how is ends (or supposedly ends) can ruin the book for some, but for me know the end and then discovering how you get to the end is the fun part.
