Scholastic tracks down Deathly Hallows leak The US book publisher has issued a statement this morning which reveals where a leak of Deathly Hallows occurred:

We are taking immediate legal action against DeepDiscount.com and Levy Home Entertainment. The number of copies shipped is around one one-hundredth of one percent of the total U.S. copies to go on sale at 12:01 am on July 21st.

Read the full press release at the link below!
PRESS RELEASE:
Scholastic has recently learned that some individuals have received copies of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows through the mail , beginning on Tuesday, July 17th, as a result of a breach of the on-sale agreement by the distributor, Levy Home Entertainment, and shipments made by DeepDiscount.com, a customer of that distributor. We are taking immediate legal action against DeepDiscount.com and Levy Home Entertainment. The number of copies shipped is around one one-hundredth of one percent of the total U.S. copies to go on sale at 12:01 am on July 21st.

We are also making a direct appeal to the Harry Potter fans who bought their books from DeepDiscount.com and may receive copies early requesting that they keep the packages hidden until midnight on July 21st.

Scholastic is especially grateful to the other retailers and distributors for their careful attention to keeping the books secure until the release time and for planning thousands of spectacular midnight parties where fans will celebrate together. And we ask everyone, especially the media, to preserve the fun and excitement for fans everywhere.

The fans themselves have made it abundantly clear that they are looking forward to going to the midnight parties, receiving their very own copy of the book and finally getting to read the book they have so anxiously awaited.

a good website for doing what i suggested a couple posts ago is sparknotes.com.......its also useful for school....it doesnt have harry potter spoilers but it will help you understand the little things you missed in other books

jimmy, i never said i believed the zendurl thing is real. i was just mad i looked at even a FAKE spoiler. thanks for opening old wounds.


Posted by peppermint_toad Jul 18th 2007

well, what with this happening and all the librarians who have already read the book (...), i'm frankly amazed that the ending of the book hasn't been announced on national television by now. less than 3 more days and i will have gone this whole time w/out reading a single spoiler!!


Posted by atlanticangel777 Jul 18th 2007

Posted by hpfreak07 Jul 18th 2007

hey guys, just htough id let you know that the Baltimore Sun have published a review of the book. They claim that they recieved a hard cover copy through legal and ordinary means, and they have a picture to back it. Not to many spoilers, just goes on to say how the book deals with the maturity of the kids and the darker subject matter (in this books case:death) THEY DO HOWEVER REVEAL WHAT THE DEATHLY HALLOWS ARE.....AND BELIEVE ME ITS NOT WHAT WE THOUGHT AT ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Posted by rubys007 Jul 18th 2007

the subtext is interesting from an analytical standpoint- all the innuendoes I mentioned. But near the end...omg! It's so emotional and ---just tears your guts out. I just finished it like 10 minutes ago and I am BAWLING as I type...I'm in shock. It's...PERFECT. I dont care what people say about the epilogue shhh.....lets just say..you NEED that epilogue after the shhh that goes down before it. Or...or...you'd kill yourself!

Posted by MundungusF Jul 18th 2007

wow, just figured out the deathly hallows without readin the book. intreseting, nothin what any1 wouldve predicted. i will not talk about the hallows here, they are vital to the plot.


Posted by mef623 Jul 18th 2007

Regarding the zendurl bit: I read the NY Times review of the book and I have to say, it matches up pretty closely with the "bullet points" spoilers at the top of the zendrul page (and the ones that jerky has been spitting out). The reviewer didn't give anything away, but what he said makes perfect sense when taken in zend's context. Sorry folks, I think zendurl is the real deal. I really hope to be proven wrong but, missing chapters aside, I don't think I am. Here's the review: http://www.nyt imes.com/2007/07/18/bo... pagewanted=all

Posted by Yoshi Jul 18th 2007

MundungusF. Isn't it obvious that the title of the book would be in some way vital to the plot?


Posted by atlanticangel777 Jul 18th 2007

Posted by MundungusF Jul 18th 2007

I kno that i kno wat the hallows r. i admit i figured them out with help from a newspaper, but im pretty sure theyre rite considerin they got the book in advance, i admit i was mad that i got spoiled! but im 100% sure their rite.


Posted by mef623 Jul 18th 2007

[QUOTE]mef623 : the zendurl one give contradictions galor!!!!! I LOVE HAM AND CHEESE...THe END.[/QUOTE] I hope you are right. I hope you are right bigtime. But the NYT and jerky were both moving in the same direction. I suppose I wouldn't be upset if someone who has actually read the book could verify that zend is true/false. Do it with a spoiler notice at the top of the link for those people who don't want to know. If there are any objections to that plan, speak now or forever hold your peace. Mike


Posted by hpgirl21053 Jul 18th 2007

so, i don't believe nytimes crap...they read the 759 page book. and the reall book is 784 pages...the nytimes made a HUGE mistake and i laugh at them...


Posted by SiriusLoveGirl Jul 18th 2007

Oh wait, didn;t the spoiling epilogue come out earlier than these were released? Or am I wrong? Becuas ehtat means that the spoilers I read (one page of, thank god) were wrong. HALLELUJAH!


Posted by hallowsaint Jul 18th 2007

HEY ALL I'M SAYING IS YOU'VE WAITED THIS LONG WHY NOT READ YOUR OWN COPY WITHOUT HAVING ANY IDEA WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN AND JUST GO ALONG WITH THE ADVENTURE........PLEASE I KNOW IT'S HARD CAUSE I'M STRUGGLIN TOO BUT I KNOW HOW MUCH MORE SATISFYING IT'S GOING TO BE WHEN YOU CAN SAY "HEY I READ IT ON MY OWN AND I DIDN'T HAVE TO BEG ANYONE FOR A SPOILER AND IT IS GREAT" BUT DO WHAT YOU WANT BUT JUST DON'T POST THE ACTUAL SPOILERS ON THIS COMMENTS PAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Posted by atlanticangel777 Jul 18th 2007

RUBYS007 PLEASE POST WHERE U FOUND THE LEAKED COPY1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IM BEGGING U!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Posted by harry_p_7 Jul 18th 2007

hallowsaint... your right... but im seriously tearing cause imfearing the worse b.c rubys crying and saying it was terrific and i have no clue what to expect..... ruby please just say if the epilouge was true or not. please


Posted by GOODGRIEF Jul 18th 2007

Okay, I admit it. I downloaded the book from the pictures and I read it. I figured I didn't want to go into a hole for days and I didn't want to be spoiled so I did it. I'm not the kind of person who would spoil it for others, so I won't give away any spoilers. BUT, just to put you all at ease...the crap that jerkyboy or whatever is typing in all caps IS NOT what is in the 759 page photographed version. I repeat, JERKYBOY's spoilers are NOT what is in the book. Neither are those spoilers that are on that zemurl (or whatever it was) site. In fact, I didn't read thru all the comments in this thread (maybe 200 comments worth)...I didn't see any spoilers as to what was in the book.


Posted by jjroka Jul 18th 2007

hi i have red a review not a spioler an i hav red a commment on a spoiler but i would never be able to forgive my self if i read a whole epilogue befor the booke comes out anyways in the review i read on baltimoresun.com it reveals the deathly hallows, the symbol on the spine and it give a clue to what happens in the end also i read a comment that suggests somthin but i am not a cruel person an will not mention it but wat did jerky or watever say i didnt read his comments but everyones anoyed with him llol p.s i live in australia so ill get the book befor alot of u fellow hp fans :) but im a slow reader :( lol cya


Posted by MundungusF Jul 18th 2007

***POSSIBLE SPOILER HINTS***ill give you a hint saying what the hallows do. They are NOT horcruxes. srry about quashing theories, and sorry for spoiling, also the hallows do a task snape talks about in the first potions lesson. thats just what they DO, not what they are, and i wont tell you what they r, ur prpbly thinking "Rubbish!" now neway.... ***SPOILER HINTS END***send what u think they do to poke.jay@hotmail.com and no h8 mail, i hate m'self enuf 4 postin this.


Posted by StMichael333 Jul 18th 2007

a Kid in Brazil just commited suicide after gettng the HP 7 final spoiled


Posted by Xceptional Jul 18th 2007

DONT READ NYTIMES REVIEW IT DOES GIVE AWAY A SPOILER!!!


Posted by hallowsaint Jul 18th 2007

I THINK IT'S FUNNY HOW STUPID YOU ARE THAT YOU WOULD POST LINKS ON HERE TO MAJOR SPOILER SITES WHEN THE ARTICLE IS SAYING NOT TO LOOK AT SPOILERS OR BELIEVE THEM.........ALSO DO YOU NOT THINK THAT YOUR GIVING AWAY MAJOR HINTS TO THE PUBLISHERS BY POSTING SPOILER SITES ON HERE CAUSE YOU KNOW THAT THE MUGGLENET STAFF READS THIS STUFF AND THEN THEY REPORT THESE SITES TO SCHOLASTIC AND BLOOMSBURY BUT THAT'S ALL I'M SAYING.


Posted by hpgirl21053 Jul 18th 2007

yeah, like i said before, if u read the nytimes review, it has the book as 759 pages for the US version, which is supposed to be 784 pages....this is sooo good, because a major newspaper is losing their credibility....sad.


Posted by Yoshi Jul 18th 2007

jjroka. I'm also in Australia and we get it the same time as them. Perth is 7:01am July 21. Sydney 9:01am July 21. The time zones make it the same time released all around the world.


Posted by harry_p_7 Jul 18th 2007

StMichael333 you cant be serious... please dont tell me he acctually commited suicide.. was it on tv? or on the internet.. if its on the internet give em the link please. and also people who hav read it IS THE EPILOUGE REAL OR NOT


Posted by MundungusF Jul 18th 2007

no im not insane, its just what ive heard and am sure is true, i admit it could be a BIG hoax.


Posted by Lazerlike42 Jul 18th 2007

The length of the internet version being 759 pages does not prove it to be false. When the page total is tallied up for the 784 pages, this includes not only the pages of actual story, but also all of the title pages, about the author pages, the copyright/ISBN page, the table of contents, the dedications, any blank pages, and any other pages that might happen to be in a book. It only takes 25 more to get from 759 to 784. This sounds like a lot, but HBP and OoTP both have a similar quantity of extra pages.


Posted by SiriusLoveGirl Jul 18th 2007

Ok, this is the last time I'm posting in the comments for serious. I'm scaaaaared a little. Ugghhhh. What jerks, to post everything. It saddens me that there a re peoaple who'd like to ruin things for others. See you guys on the other side.
