HI MEDWARDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ^_^ MundungusF, u r forgiven, chill out and dont do anything drastic k?
Deathly hallows gets 3/5 We see slughorn in his underwear who wants to see that?
When I heard that an actual copy of the book may have been leaked online, I couldn't resist the temptation. I scoured the 'net till I found what I believe is a genuine copy and read it from cover to cover and enjoyed every minute of it (except for the few pages that were too blurry to make much out of). DON'T WORRY, MY LIPS ARE SEALED. I don't necessarily agree that "true fans" will want to wait till it's officially out. But true fans will NOT spoil it for people who don't want to be spoiled. I will still be at Borders on Friday night, as excited as anyone else to purchase a hard copy of the book at midnight. And I will relish reading it for the second time — this time without having to strain my eyes for hours in front of the monitor. And who knows? There's always the off chance (though I doubt it) that the copy I read was actually an extraordinary work of fan fiction, typeset and illustrated and printed and then photographed to look like the real thing. Then I'll have double the pleasure come Friday night.
Posted by rubys007 about an hour ago This is not exactly a spoiler but...WHAT A FREAKING GREAT BOOK! Although I am disturbed and intrigued at the subtext...this book is going to be debated for YEARS TO COME. It has subtle and not-so-subtle subtext about: Rape Drinking/ getting drunk Bestiality Mastur bation **** Size Torture Sado Masochism Murder Theft Gay love/sex Insanity/madnes s Incest wow...I believe you...does a lot of this have to do with Voldemort? I knew he was evil in every sense of the word...and I swear he is not a virgin!
Answer to The Haircut Each barber must have cut the other's hair. The logician picked the barber who had given his rival the better haircut.
Breathes in, breathes out. okay i feel better now. the two barbers cut each others hair bcause they cant cut their own. the one that was untidy is the good barber, bcause of his bad haircut and the others good one
Tonks1975- because its cheaper!! Duh!! SPOILERSSNAPE-does he wear lily's brand too??
oh, what a beautiful morning, oh what a beautiful day....THE END.
I've got a beautiful feeling....everything's going my way!
Gutenberg Bible....a Religious event, not literary??? Good Lord, Man, go to college. The invention and use of the printing press was most certainly a literary event. It allowed for mass production of literary and written knowledge, so that things like the burning of the Library at Alexandria would not occur again. Sheesh. A religious event...... And, IF my name is a fake spoiler, I'll eat a bug. We'll see who is right in a couple days. I'll come here like a man and post if I am wrong. Will you? Doubt it. Coward.
boy gets ticket on moped.................... ................A 16-year-old boy was driving a moped down a one-way street in the wrong direction. A policeman stopped him and gave him a ticket. The policeman paid the ticket himself. What is a logical explanation for this?
I've got a beautiful feeling, everythings going my way.

That is not, Not, NOT OK!!!! Good for scholastic, I hope those SPOILERS get what they diserve. BLEEP:-)sorry, had to get that out!
welllllllllllllllllllllll this is what i think what will happend... i think harry and ginny get it on as well as hermoine and ron i think harry is a horcruxe i think a golden snitch will be harry's horcruxe when he kills lord voldemorte i think percy dies along with remus and tonks i think peter petigrews head will be served up on a silver platter (literally) i think dolores umbridge gets killed by the werewolvers and i think george will end up with a peg leg
okay, now back to my usual rants: SCREW SPOILERS AND JERKYHOLE!!!!SCREW SPOILERS AND JERKYHOLE!!!!SCREW SPOILERS AND JERKYHOLE!!!!SCREW SPOILERS AND JERKYHOLE!!!!SCREW SPOILERS AND JERKYHOLE!!!!SCREW SPOILERS AND JERKYHOLE!!!!SCREW SPOILERS AND JERKYHOLE!!!!SCREW SPOILERS AND JERKYHOLE!!!!SCREW SPOILERS AND JERKYHOLE!!!!SCREW SPOILERS AND JERKYHOLE!!!!SCREW SPOILERS AND JERKYHOLE!!!!SCREW SPOILERS AND JERKYHOLE!!!!SCREW SPOILERS AND JERKYHOLE!!!!SCREW SPOILERS AND JERKYHOLE!!!!SCREW SPOILERS AND JERKYHOLE!!!!SCREW SPOILERS AND JERKYHOLE!!!!SCREW SPOILERS AND JERKYHOLE!!!!SCREW SPOILERS AND JERKYHOLE!!!!SCREW SPOILERS AND JERKYHOLE!!!!SCREW SPOILERS AND JERKYHOLE!!!!SCREW SPOILERS AND JERKYHOLE!!!!SCREW SPOILERS AND JERKYHOLE!!!!SCREW SPOILERS AND JERKYHOLE!!!!SCREW SPOILERS AND JERKYHOLE!!!!SCREW SPOILERS AND JERKYHOLE!!!!SCREW SPOILERS AND JERKYHOLE!!!!SCREW SPOILERS AND JERKYHOLE!!!!SCREW SPOILERS AND JERKYHOLE!!!!SCREW SPOILERS AND JERKYHOLE!!!!SCREW SPOILERS AND JERKYHOLE!!!!SCREW SPOILERS AND JERKYHOLE!!!!SCREW SPOILERS AND JERKYHOLE!!!! thankyou and have a nice day ~;)~
The police man was on the mo ped...or the police man was driving down the wrong side of the road, and though the mo ped was...or thepolice man is the mo ped kid's father
Tonks1975 - he was foing the wrong way also
im so o confused.... lol. was that person who said tis book have sensuality and stuff like that... is that true?
I am not reading comments anymore but I thought I would have a little comment posting fun......I will post a riddle and than the answer in 3 minutes. here is the Answer to...........boy gets ticket on moped...................T he boy was the policeman's son.
Oh yeah like i would hide my copy until Saturday if I got it early...NOT!!! Come on, that case will be thrown out of court so fast it's not even funny. They should sue Levin for wasting the courts time. I read some of the so called spoilers online and I was not dissapointed nor upset. I love things like that gets me MORE excited for the book then i was before. Like they said on the news: All the secrecy is what makes the book sell." There is a ring of truth to it...but I think it's just that Harry Potter takes you away from the problems and worries of life for a few hours time. Some people really don't like spoilers not me I am more excited for the book then before...but i will say alot of the sites with these "spoilers" are saying certian people die and then they were in the last chapter so we'll see. One site that had the last chapter "so called" scan had the last page numbered 759 so i knew that was wrong, but I'm hoping it was not because it was a good ending, they took the site down a few hours ago but these were pages from the books the art work was Mary's so i don't know but we will see.
P.S. If your going to post comments on this site, MAKE SURE IT'S ABOUT HARRY POTTER!!!!! ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHH!
Heres another one for the ones still reading these posts. I am not..............What Am I?......................I have a tail, and I have a head, but i have no body. I am NOT a snake. What am I?
HA! I was right! I am beast! ROAR...okay I'll stop! BUT I HAVE MASTER SKILLZ! and thats why all of my awesome theories will be true!!!!! Hee!!!Hee!!!Hee!!!

Before Mt. Everest was discovered, what was the tallest mountain in the world?
I don't know about you guys, but I'm not emotionally ready to see the end to this fabulous journey. I was introduced to Harry by my now 17yrs old son and I will forever be thankful for it. Why does it have to end now? Why can we have 13 books just like the "Series of unfortunate events"? Why can't we see our friends become adults and introduce us to their magical children? I went to a website where you can sign a petition to "Save Harry". I would love for everyone to sign as well... maybe JK will change her mind? Let's give it a try.... http://www.saveharrypotte r.co.uk/
"everyone is going to LOVE this book. Its amazing. It will make you cry your eyes out." is voldemort the instigator of a lot of the incest/beasility/rape you mentioned???? Could you tell us if the first chapter is really 'dark lord ascending." Want to hear from you Rubys007

Ok...some of the people posting on here are seriously in need of mental help. Good grief. i thought some of the posts over on LJ were a little out of hand.
Mount Everest has always been the tallest mountain, even before being discovered!
NVM my question but i wanna know if the first chapters name is really the dark lord acending.. i like it its sounds sooo dark lol
i say that we all avoid the media and instead of looking at predictions, lets skim through our books and refresh our memories and maybe figure out what some of the things are that we forgot about or that we are unclear about with ourselves...just think how much more sense the DH will make if we do this...i forgot what a squib is and now i know :)
bet im one of the ppl in need of mental help. looking forward for going to retarded ppl school! JK!JK!JK !JK!JK!JK!JK!JK!JK!JK!JK!

wahat are we atlkinga about???????
Why are you people hitting ther links and going to them and then moaning and crying about what you read PLEASE... Also this link www.zendurl.com/hallows is a fake. They said a certian person died and then they scaned the "so called last chapter" and said that this person they said died didn't die. They have since removed that scaned chapter. Also the last page was 759,that was not real so how they are doing this I have no idea. If I got the book early i would read it. Would I tell anyone? No let them find out themslves...but if you click a link you get what you asked for so stop whining and moaning about it. Also know a little about the law (MY BF is a lawyer) there is no WAY this caase will hold up in court it's as good as dead.
o0musickid0o or we can just go to wikipedia lol jk. ok i seriously need u guys this question....... who thinks b/c of the final bok coming out in only 2 days people are going mental... i mean on the site and outside... i swaer people start screaming once on the streeet at a guy cause he told her a spoiler.... im scared of the outside world now.... i need a say of "I" of people that agree with me
You guys are crazy..LOL
Hey all -- no spoilers here, but as someone who was hoping the "leaked" version was a fake, I'd say there's a pretty good chance it's real having read a good deal of it. I'll say this, by all means wait until the official release, I thought the "leak" -- real or not -- had an excellent ending and most Potter fans will be very happy if it turns out to be the real one. If it's not real, then I look forward to getting my copy on Friday.
