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.

the chapter title's are really good. that's the only thing i've read. i'm hoping i dont read more.

Wow. A friend of mine told me that his sister (who he doesn't live with) had a copy of Deathly Hallows and I didn't believe him... wow. Maybe she really does? That's kinda weird. Amazing job on security, honestly. Letting them out before. (damnit, why couldn't that have been MINE!...though I wouldn't spoil it for anyone if it was)

ATTENTION: JERKYFAG-HOLE TRIED TO RAPE MY CAT, BUT I CAUGHT HIM AND BEAT THE CRAP OUT OF HIM THEN STUFFED BLAZING HOT MELTED CHEESE UP HIS A$$ WHILE HE SQUEALED LIKE A PEACKOCK FOR HIS MOM, THEN I SLAPPED HIM WHILE MY CAT PEED ON HIM

JERKYHOLE! your version of the bible must be a badly written porno spoof involving jesus


Posted by inomoreabouthpthnu Jul 18th 2007

Ok...jerky hole..your life is s.hit, and i can see now, jesus died on the cross for everyone but you..thats why you have to go around, f.ucking everyone elses life up because you yourself have not been saved..so you have to sit on your ass by the computer all day..and jerk off to pictures of kittens, because you HAVE NO LIFE OR SOUL

I agree with Mirdala from the first page... it's just a book, you people need to chill. Most of these spoilers seem like bad fan fiction more than anythign else. I mean, come on?! Someone dies, then they're in a ship several chapters later? Most of these can't even divulge something juicy- there's no couples, conflict about who dies, a lot of stuff that's out of character... we don't know what's real and what's not. Even if we did, are you all really so hung up on how it ends that you still can't have a good time finding out how it comes to that? By your logic, Books are only good the first week they come out because as soon as people know how it ends, it's worthless. Personally, I think all of you are taking this waaaaaay too far, and aren't really fans anyways. I had the end of PoA spoiled for me by a faster reader, I didn't care- I was more interested in how it was coming to that. Yeah, Yeah, sirrius drags Ron into the shrieking shack to kill scabbers, who turns out to be the real DE- just don't ask any questions, pretend to be pissed you were told that much, and move on. And I am gonna emphasize it again for you- there's so much bad fan fiction pretending to be spoilers out there that you can't take any of this seriously- If Scholastic wants to sue a guy because he put up scans of a supposed epilogue, it could be for copyright infringement, or they could be pressing charges. I can think of a few things to charge him with. You all automatically assumed it was because the spoilers were real, and went fire and brimestone on us. Give it a rest, if you were true fans you could read every major spoiler and still come up with a thousand questions about how it came to that- provided that you aren't stupid enough to ask them to the idiot who's spoiling to give you more.

Yeah, I havent read jerkyholes comments...r they true??


Posted by Finestela Jul 18th 2007

Guys, if you're so worried about getting spoiled... do what I did for HP6 and simply STOP VISITING HP SITES TWO WEEKS BEFORE THE RELEASE... The sites can't regulate everything that comes and goes, and, if you're taking so much offense about this, why not do something on your own end to prevent it?

DON'T READ THIS, BIG , BIG SPOILER, PLEASE DO NOT DARE TO READ THIS!!!!!!!!HERMIONE MARRIES DOBBY!!!!!!!!!!! RON KILLS HER OUT OF JEALOUSY!!!!!!!!!!HARRY KILLS RON TO REVENGE HERMIONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!AN D VOLDY KILLS HIMSELF BECAUSE HE HAS NO ONE LEFT TO KILL!!!!!!!!!!

Posted by Tonks1975 Jul 18th 2007

I don't think mugglenet are reading these anymore. they don't want to be spoiled either. So we are on our own here.


Posted by thesilentcat Jul 18th 2007

do you all know about the "susposed" epiloque that was leaked? i really hope it wasn't real, because my job is to make sure stuff like this is fake and to prove it. well somethings wrong wit the epilogue is that it has NO england talk or accents in it, its just american tongue. the other thing wrong wit it is that if u look closely at the last page where u see the end, it ends on 754, when the book ends at 784! my boss says its not enough to shut down the site...but does nyone know if scholastic has shut it down or if it's fake...cause i reallly think its fake! thanks, Gus


Posted by medwards Jul 18th 2007

rob15: Good job letting your cat use jerkyhole as a kitty litter box! Not only are you saving money by not using the kitty litter that you already have, but you are making jerkyhole look like the fag he is. xD I still think you should choke him with plastic cheesecake though. Then pour scaulding hot cheese all over him. And if he is naked in front of the full moon, wouldn't Remus Lupin attack him? jerkyhole would probably like the attention then because no one gives a rats ass about him outside the computer.


Posted by jerkyhole Jul 18th 2007

rob's got it wrong. No, I DID rape his cat. Of course, I had to drown it first. But, after it died, it was SMOOTH sailing! I opened wounds in its stomach and penetrated them with my throbbing co.ck. It was pleasurable and enticing to feel the innards rubbing against the shaft of my p.enis. After a while, I finally released my load in the carcass and pissed on its corpse. See, rob, you were WAY off!

hmm..im starting to think jerkyhole is a registered sex offender...


Posted by MissMalfoy Jul 18th 2007

and just when you think jerkyhole cannot become more of a pathetic loser, he becomes a sad, pathetic FREAK!


Posted by Czechmetz Jul 18th 2007

I called Levy Home Entertainment. The conversation is as follows: "Yes, I'd like to speak to the person responsible for shipping out copies of Deathly Hallows early." LHE:".......may I ask who is speaking?" "This is Jessica." LHE:"Jessica, we do not have facts right now, we are investigating it, and we have no comment at this time, thank you." *click*


Posted by PhoenixAT Jul 18th 2007

Okay now this is just fun. There are so many darn spoilers out, I have no idea which ones are true. It's great. Right now I saw that someone 'copied' 759 pages of DH - all of them... Which weirdly doesn't match up with the 784 that Rowling announced. So really, the tension to see if the spoilers are true is JUST as big as to see who lives and dies.


Posted by Tonks1975 Jul 18th 2007

George kills Fred.


Posted by sirius_lee Jul 18th 2007

OMFG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !! I THINK I JUST PUT JERKYHOLE UNDER THE IMPERIOUS CURSE AAND SO HE STARTED SCREWING HIMSELF!!!!!!!! NO NVR MIND, THATS HIS REGULAR PERSONALITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!MY MISTAKE SORRY!^_^!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!


Posted by Quidditch_Girl Jul 18th 2007

That is so wrong! We should all wait, and I thank the people that got the book early, and are waiting. When we are old, we will remember this chaos.

Posted by medwards Jul 18th 2007

jerkyhole: I bet you would love it if Rob15's cat even considered letting you do that crap to it but no one [NO CAT, GIRL, BOY, WEREWOLF, HESHE, NOTHING] would ever want to have sex with an ugly, fat, idiotic pathetic loser like yourself. Though I'm sure you're enjoying the only time in your whole pathetic life that any one has ever even spoken to you. My advice to you, Jerkyhole: GO BURN IN HELL ASSHOLE!


Posted by cliffy22 Jul 18th 2007

Jerky hole i copyied several of your comments and reported then to comment abuse section of mugglenet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!! YAH!!! i expected to get an answer SOOOOOOOON!!! (BAWHAWWHAWWHAAW)

cliffy22 don't count on it. but let us know if you do. I have tried 2 times already to report him. NOTHING!!!


Posted by sammyboy Jul 18th 2007

This is what happens in Deathly Hallows Dumblerdore comes back as a painting and advises Harry Snape was working with Dumbledore , Dumbledore Sacrificed himself to trick Voldemort into thinking Dumbledore was gone forever Also there is no Quidditch at all in this book Professor Mcgonigal remains Headmistress at Hogwarts Harry finds the Horcuxes in the Black Family vault were Sirius Blacks brother was holding them Two people die in this book Neville and Ginny Neville dies in a fight with Bellatrix then Lupin kills Bellatrix Ginny dies when Harry is fighting Voldemort Ginny Jumps infront of a spells in save Harry her love weakens Voldemort then Harry kills Voldemort. Now the big question does Harry live or die HARRY LIVES


Posted by REMiiSAHMAZiNGx4 Jul 18th 2007

jerkyhole... do you have brain issues? I hope you do die i wonder if i was one of your friends (if you have any) i would kill you and i hope i never find out who you are cause i will kill you. i convinced my friend to send back her copy of deathly hallows and they too it back


Posted by Finestela Jul 18th 2007

thesilentcat, yes, it has been talked to death regarding the page count amongst the "Tainted Ones" such as myself... ;) However, the problem is that it could simply be a typo on Scholastic's publication (using the numeric keypad) when they release their "green" statement. Granted, you might be right about it being fake, but if it is indeed fake, I'd have to say the mastermind behind this whole this is extremly brilliant and did an amazing job coming up with this scheme.
