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.

That's where I was last night. And this is all making me think it's true. It was posted on one of my topics. I wonder if the post was deleted. I'll have to look.

I HATE SPOILERS. I didn't know that Snape killed Dumbledore til I read the actual book, so I must of been given some sort of spoiler shield from Goddess (Jo) up above. Anyway, I was tempted to read the "opening paragraph" thing from a couple days ago, but that was it. No more spoilers for me. Anyway, to lighten the mood, here's a new parody I've written. Enjoy! *To the tune of Hey Jude by the Beatles* Hey dudes, we've got 4 days, until the end of a great era. Remember that Jo said we can still post to our will because there'll be lots to talk 'bout. Hey dudes, Harry won't die, he's the hero, and you can't kill him. Remember that thought the book will end, he'll be our friend, till Jo writes again. And when it's over you'll be sad, but dudes, it won't be bad, remember that Jo said maybe there'll be 8. Na na na na na na na na......hey dudes, it's almost time, get in costume, and get in liiiine, remember that though Dumbledore's dead, Harry's blood will never shed, thanks to Protego, tego, tego, tego, OOOWWW! Na na na na na na na, na na na na, hey dudes! Na na na na na na na, na na na na, hey dudes!

Hallowsaint: that's exactly whay i mean! finally somebody understands me!! :)


Posted by IAteUmbridge Jul 17th 2007

I've read a few spoilers, but I'm avoiding reading any of the actual book, because I want the feel of reading it all at once when I get it at midnight. Spoilers don't ruin the book for me, if anything it makes it more exciting, because I get a little taste of what is to come...even if I have found out a little more than a taste on this one, haha.


Posted by lorien33 Jul 17th 2007

Everyone who is trying to convince themselves the spoilers are fake (myself included) are really just kidding themselves. Scholastic wouldn't bother their time with fanfiction, I don't think. But....we can at least comfort ourselves with the knowledge that many of the spoilers contradict and therefore, some HAVE to be false. ***************** ******POSSIBLE SPOILER WARNING****************** *******POSSIBLE SPOILERWARNING**********I haven't read the epilogue 19 years later but just from reading mugglenet comments I have an idea of of how it goes. I, for one, am happy if the ending is a happy one, and Harry and ginny and Ron and Hermione get together. That is what they all deserve! Now, the spoiler saying Bellatrix kills Ron....I hope THATS false. I don't care if I'm being "Mary-Sue".

Posted by hallowsaint Jul 17th 2007

Anyway I'm with MissMalfoy and DanielRadcliffeIsSEXY let's agree they were fake (cause they were) and let's sing. Cheesecake anyone?


Posted by peroxwhy_gen Jul 17th 2007

You also, you know, can't guard yourself from spoilers unless you avoid the interest. I mean, I was in the Chatterbox of Gaia, trying to get people to Tektek (make an avatar) for me. And BAM! Someone posted a picture of a certain page in which a certain someone dies. No warning whatsoever.


Posted by dobbysbasilisk Jul 17th 2007

burntflower you burnt pea! we do not want to know! grrrr please stop posting sites because it will just ruin the book for people who have no self restraint and cannot help clicking on the links (people like me :P) if we wanted to know we would go on somewhere like you tube or whatever wouldnt we ? grrrrr hissss


Posted by potter87 Jul 17th 2007

the best way to clear all this up is for jk to post a note on her website denying all this or to show us a few chapter titles


Posted by MissMalfoy Jul 17th 2007

on a different note: i like cheesecake lol !


Posted by hpgirl21053 Jul 17th 2007

i don't care if they r fake or not, but like the new york times said....the publishers have look at all the scans and said people are jumbling them together, which makes some info true and some false...which makes me happy and i'll laugh when some are proven wrong


Posted by moonshine Jul 17th 2007

hollowsaint! i want some cheesecake! i wish i had some now...it would make me forget about the spoilers!


Posted by lorien33 Jul 17th 2007

potter87.............you are so right!!! I was wondering about this. It's just another thing pointing to them being REAL, unfortunately.


Posted by DanielRadcliffeIsSEXY Jul 17th 2007

Hallowsaint: thanks. Does anyone else like my song? To lighten the mood, here's a new parody I've written.

Posted by wandless07 Jul 17th 2007

I can't believe that anyone would post spoilers on this site. This is the only Harry Potter site that I go to and I didn't think that anyone would have the audacity to put up spoilers (whether they're real or not) on a comments board about an article about how people are spoiling the book!!!!!!!! GET OFF THIS WEBSITE!!!!! I'm really in shock that you would do that, Bellatrixkillsron and Snapediespg658, you truley have no right to be on a Harry Potter fan site if you are going to go and write something that obviously noone wants to see (or they wouldn't be reading this comment board.) I'm actually really surprised that Mugglenet is still keeping comments open to fans. Most of the facebook groups have closed their discussions and such and I really think that this needs to happen here so that the scum who continue to survive all the curses that everyone is hopefully sending, can't keep posting bullshit and ruining the book for the rest of the honest people in the world. The two of you who posted the comments that i wasn't able to as quickly skip over should be absolutely ashamed of yourselves, and the funny thing is that i don't think you even care, even though every true HP fan has made it clear that we HATE you for being assholes. Okay, I'm done, I hope you enjoy destruction of the scum of the Earth. all spoilers should go to HELL before they post anything!!!


Posted by Jerkwater Jul 17th 2007

People asking Mugglenet to disable comments is ridiculous. If you don't want to see spoilers, don't read comments! If you can't help yourself, don't blame the sites where you found the spoilers. It's like an addict blaming his dealer/bookie/liquor store. Also, nothing personal DanielRadcliffeIsSEXY, but your parody isn't funny. Please stop posting it. Once was more than enough.


Posted by hallowsaint Jul 17th 2007

hey lorien33 there's no way that epilogue is true unless JKR suddenly turned into an amateur writer and if only 5 characters survived the whole book......Come on she said 2 die not like 10 and anyway Snape would never be headmaster of Hogwarts because according to that spoiler Minerva is still alive and she's the Headmistress..........all and all that was a definite retarded attempt at a spoiler............CHEESE CAKE CHEESECAKE WE ADORE THEE, CAKE OF WONDER, CAKE OF LIGHT, EVIL CRUMBLES LIKE DEATH BEFORE THEE, CHEESECAKE IS THE DOOR TO LIFE.


Posted by hpgirl21053 Jul 17th 2007

so here's a spoiler: CHEESECAK E DIES ON PAGE 300000089999999, and trust me, there are scans, at this site: www.dumba**esoft heworld.net


Posted by BurntFlower Jul 17th 2007

@dobbysbasilisk. Oy, don't call me a burnt pea. I added a CLEAR warning that my links had major spoilers, so it's definitely not my fault. There were people who honestly wanted to see those scans, so try to have more self control, please.


Posted by HP_FAN_07 Jul 17th 2007

J.K. would be writing all day instead of preparing for her masterpiece to be released in a few days if she was going to comment on all the false rumors. She is probably spending time with her family before the chaos begins. Truth is some of this stuff could be true, statistically it's a luck of the draw really. But all these spoilers really contradict themselves so we really will not know until Friday when we read it ourselves. The people who are putting spoilers in the comments and on whatever websites are losers who like to ruin enjoyment from others. They thrive off upsetting people because their own lives are pathetic and boring. No matter what I read I will still be mesmerized when I am reading the book this weekend.


Posted by MissMalfoy Jul 17th 2007

lol all this about cheesecake is making me laugh


Posted by natalie96 Jul 17th 2007

Yea I agree, it is crazy to ask mugglenet to "disable the comments" thats stupid. People have the right to talk and if you want the comments disabled click the red "X" on the right hand side of your browser window. But it pisses me off when people make a spoilers of their username! WTF?!? Just leave you friggin suck... lol


Posted by potter87 Jul 17th 2007

i shamefully did look at a scan but it just looked like the guy selotaped a copy of the cover onto another book the part of the cover you see looks so fake. and on one of the so called spoiler sites the writer contradicts himself about one of the characters, he said one dies and then said in the epologue he was alive,


Posted by ashflash Jul 17th 2007

hahah cheesecake dies... i HOPE cheesecake doesn't die because then i might die; cheesecake is my life pretty much. especially with strawberries


Posted by hallowsaint Jul 17th 2007

Okay nobody get mad, I saw this through my cheesecake power, Dumbledore never died he just fell into a wheel barrow of cheesecake and when Snape came up to finish the job Dumbledore stuffed cheesecake down his throat and wacked him in the head with a cat....later on Dumbledore shows himself to Harry and teaches Harry the ways of the Cheesecake and the way to kill Voldy is to tie him up to a bean pole and stuff Cheesecake down his throat until he explodes but he doesn't explode from being stuff but he explodes from the love that is Cheesecake and all of the people that love Cheesecake.


Posted by Cooper2085 Jul 17th 2007

Well in 3 days we will know what is real and what is not. My "Friend" sent me that spoiler list, and yes it does contradict itself. Also some of the things serve no purpose. Im not going to put any spoilers here but i think the chapter titles are real and thats all.


Posted by cbasfrench Jul 17th 2007

Potter 87 2 I too have read some contradictory information on some of these spoiler sites. One minute, they are saying one character dies. But then the next minute, in the epilogue, he is alive. It is hard to figure out which is real and not real, since both look legit.


Posted by chaoticprout Jul 17th 2007

Friend set me this: The Deaths in Detail: Parens indicate chapter numbers (1) Charity Burbage - Murdered by LV (4) Hedwig - Hit by stray killing curse (5) Moody - Same (23) Pettigrew - Squeezed own neck to repay his life debt (23) Dobby - Killed by Bella while warping Harry to safety (31) Fred - Casualty in Battle of Hogwarts (32) Snape - Killed by Nagini on LV's orders (36) Nagini - Beheaded by Neville with Gryffindor's sword (36) Bella - Killed by Mrs. Weasley to protect her kids (36) LV - Finished by own killing curse, deflected by Harry (?) Lupin/Tonks - Casualties (8?) Rufus Scrimgeour - Murdered by LV in Ministry takeover (17?) Bathilda - Murdered by LV (?) Gregorovitch (wandmaker) - Murdered by LV

SO, Jerkwate, you didn't like it. Aww, ah well, it's still 2-to-1. I'll write new ones. *to the tune of Macho Man by the village people* Macho, macho Dan. I'm gonna marry Macho Dan! (Eh, that one was bad.) *To the tune of Yellow Submarine* In the year 2007, all us Potter fans will be in heaven on the 21st, at 12:01, we'll spaz out and have some fun! (Chorus) We can't wait for the 21st of July, 21st of July, 21st of July. We can't wait for the 21st of July, 21st of July, 21st of July! ( Next Verse) As we wait, in full costume, we chat about Voldy's doom, and we read the earlier books, as the passersby give dirty looks! (Chorus) (Next Verse) So we'll be so happily reading DH with ecstacy (NOT THE DRUG) and we all find out who dies, some of of us will cheer, some will cry! (chorus x2)


Posted by hpgirl21053 Jul 17th 2007

well i read the epilogue at www.dumba**esoftheworld.n et and it said cheesecake dies a horrible death after being taken hostage by queen chocolate moose, but then chocolate moose gets eaten by jerry the croissant and jerry the croissant goes on to have a love affair with amanda the milk carton and have kids named : jonny the pickle and suzy the prune juice and well then it just ends sadly with the marriage and death of annie the olive...... well, there was the spoiler sorry guyz... :D

Wow... some people have the commen scence of a dish rag...

NO! ANNIE THE OLIVE CANT DIE!

My beloved Snape cannot have cheesecake stuffed down his throat!


Posted by dobbysbasilisk Jul 17th 2007

hallowsaint, you know i think i saw that on one of the spoiler sights :P


Posted by hallowsaint Jul 17th 2007

Okay nobody get mad, I saw this through my cheesecake power, Dumbledore never died he just fell into a wheel barrow of cheesecake and when Snape came up to finish the job Dumbledore stuffed cheesecake down his throat and wacked him in the head with a cat....later on Dumbledore shows himself to Harry and teaches Harry the ways of the Cheesecake and the way to kill Voldy is to tie him up to a bean pole and stuff Cheesecake down his throat until he explodes but he doesn't explode from being stuff but he explodes from the love that is Cheesecake and all of the people that love Cheesecake. Cheesecake can't die because love can't die and plus you can just make more.

DanielRadcliffeIsSEXY ------------------------- ------------------------- ------------------------- ------------------------- ------------------------- ---------------------when you don't want to see spoilers: get off the net!!! repeating your I hate spoilers mantra every 3 minutes makes it even more interesting for the creeps to hassle you.


Posted by wandless07 Jul 17th 2007

Jerkwater- I haven't seen any spoilers except for the two comments that i accidently glimpsed in this discussion. Now, I do thoroughly enjoy these discussion and like chatting with people but I get very upset when people are jerks and post stuff that noone wants to see, despite the temptations. I had thought that people would have the morals to not post spoilers but i guess not everyone feels the same way. And it's hard to not read the comments when you're just going down the column and then bamm! you're hit in the face. I'd like to post a suggestion, if you just HAVE to post a spoiler of any sort, (real/fake/link/whatever) please give readers plenty of warning before you do so. ****spoilers******ect. That would just be a way that discussion can remain open and the suspense not destroyed.

Posted by peroxwhy_gen Jul 17th 2007

Yeah I don't think that list is true. The list of deaths. Or the epilogue I read was fake. I'm hoping Remus doesn't die. And I don't see how Molly could kill anyone. It just doesn't seem to be her.


Posted by moonshine Jul 17th 2007

hi sirius_lee! we are having a very strangely mixed conversation about spoilers and cheesecake. i prefer the cheesecake conversations.
