spenz you are very right. I dont want to spoil the whole thing for myself but this review is nothing. Theres websites out there with pics of the epilouge and everything. This review gives no deaths or anything big. It just explains the title a little and talks about some plots.

omg omg omg omg. i must not look @ it!!!!!!!!! ahhhhh! the suspense!

Truly this is a dumb mistake, one of the biggest mistakes of 2007, along with rating the Simpsons Movie PG-13 for crude humor (and nothing else), releasing Paris Hilton from jail, and letting Hillary Clinton run for president. I hate the New York Times anyway. The only good thing about them is their movie sections. They have poster-sized color ads for the movies! I'm from Boston, so NY is stupid. (Though I have been there, it is nice, I just don't like New Yorkers themselves, especially Hillary Clinton, the stupid b***h.

HARRY DIES!!!!!! OMG! (just kidding, i'm to scared to read the review. ha ha)

I'm starting to think they actually downloaded the copy that was released online. I mean I dont think you can just go to a bookstore a buy one, and if that was what they did then it is illegal. I was spoiled for the las book, and someone already spoiled me about two deads for this book. Im not letting a stupid review spoil the meaning of the title for me.

It's driving me absolutely batty that I can't read the review yet...I've refrained ...but it is so hard! I've even stopped reading most of the comments on here...I cannot wait until Friday night!!!!!

Not Reading it! I have to control the temptation to read it with great difficultly! I want to know, but I can't! not for 2 more days! AAAAHHHHRRRRGGGG!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!

AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! I refuse to read it ut it's so hard to resist!!! *trying with all her might not to highlight*

Hear no spoliers, See no spoilers, Speak no spoilers! How dare MAJOR media sources such as the Baltimore Sun and NY Times write reviews before the release date! I might have to pull the plug to my computer if this keeps up.

I haven't read any spoiler yet.... lol to post this, I just scrolled down really fast so all the words were a blur XD. But I just wanted to say that I don't think the NY Times should have written a review for the book, because there are plenty of HP fans who probably check their site and I doubt they'd like getting spoiled. I, for one, am going to take any and ALL precautions against spoilers. I suppose if that means blasting my eardrums from my iPod and averting my head from every word SPOILER then I will. lol XD Just wanted to put in my input, that I don't think the NY Times did a good thing, posting that review.

I absolutely refuse to read anything that even says Harry Potter since yesterday. I am just furious that people are so mean spirited and cruel. Clearly the people doing the leaks are frustrated unpublished authors not of Ms. Rowling's calibre and they are striking back by trying to ruin it for the rest of us. True potter fans won't read any of them. Why would we. We have been waiting so long, what is two more days?

"Master of Death" OMG I NEED TO READ IT NOW!!!! Half a dozen characters!!!

temptation is huge...BUT IM NOT READING IT!!!

I can't believe this! Now I'm afraid even to log on to Mugglenet until I finish the book over the weekend. And I'm certainly not glancing at any of these comments. What a sad state of affairs this has come to!!!!! I can't believe the New York Times - don't they know better than to publish spoilers!

S-P-O-I-L-E-R-S wow, harry could go either way with the horcruxes/hallows deal.id go for the hallows so i could control death and kill voldy with them. if u can control death in my opinion, you should be able to bring about ppls demise rite? and be able to ressurect them. just a thought, since he could bring back his parents, cedric , sirius, dd, and evry1 who dies in 1 stroke rite? just my opinion.

I thought Mugglenet was supposed to stay spoiler free?

OMG I HATE THE NEW YORK TIMES!!! y would they put that in there 2 days b4 the book comes out??? y would they wait til saturday and y didnt scholastic doesnt scholastic do something...though i will admit its my fault for reading it...but they shouldnt have put that in the paper and ben please take this post down...i dont want anyone else to read it...it spoils a lot of the book

Just a warning to you all, DONT GO TO A WEBSITE CALLED ZENDURL!!! Its full of spoilers. I saw all of them for a second then looked away. BE CAREFUL!!!

Lemme guess, from what I've heard (Thanks alot, ForeverFan) Harry finds the Deathly Hallows, becomes evil like Anakin Skywalker, kills Voldy, wakes up, and finds out he's not a virgin anymore, as his wife Ginny has just given birth to three healthy babies!

Wow, I'm floored. We've been waiting for a decade for this story, Jo has been waiting 17 years for this story, and these BOZOS are spoiling it for everyone. Good luck staying spoiler free everyone. And I hope the New York Times gets sued and Scholastic goes and beats them with something. This is just ridiculous. If you want to write the review that frickin bad, then wait for 2 days, just 2 frickin days!

I think I feel sorry most for Jo. She worked so hard and so long for her book and her vision, and everything that she created turned out to be exploited like this. I think it's wonderful when people get excited over a book, but to destroy a book by posting fake spoilers, delivering the book to select people early, and not having the media's support is sickening.

i HATE NYTIMES AND BALT. SUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!

Wow.....

I have been meticulously avoiding any scans of supposed pages of the book, spoilers of any sort and frankly, most of the comments and such on Mugglenet as of late, to also avoid anything mentioned by anyone who's read spoilers. I must say -- I am extremely disappointed in the NYT and I hope sincerely that JRK/Scholastic/Bloomsbury absolutely tear them up! How dare they (under probable claim of 1st Amendment rights or something, which is bunk) publish such a thing. How anti-publication spirit, and they a supposed paper with integrity! NYT and anyone else determined to be killjoys -- Go pull the wings off of someone else's butterfly and leave ours alone to discover in the morning, after it's come out of it's cocoon.

New York Times "GO TO HELL YOU MOFO'S!" What evil, sick, twisted person would do this. I hope youhad ur little fun destroying the hope of millions of people. As for me im turning my computer off until I'm done reading. I WILL NEVER READ A SPOIlER!!!!!!!!! If I ever meet whoever wrote that review in a dark alley, I will lay a smackdown on ur a$$!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i'm SO not reading this!!! *hums to self and looks else where* so yeah, 2 more days... pretty excited!! yaya

I'm so disappointed in the NY Times, especially after JKR updated her site today... what ever happened to journalistic integrity? I'm so frustrated with those who get pleasure of out others' frustration. So excited to read the book in two days, though!

I really wish they'd take this post down. The temptation for those of us unspoiled or relatively so is unbelievable! Please, please, please remove temptation! Bah, forget it, I'm staying offline for the next two days. I am SO gonna pretend I'm Lupin! I am now hiding underground with my wolf friends, preserving my tormenting starvation for the rightful moment when the sweet taste of my unsuspecting prey can be enjoyed in its fullest.... I think I've just matured from Lupin to Greyback. 2 days, everybody! :D

MUST....NOT....READ....NO ...MATTER....HOW...TEMPTI NG

Hey, no biggy. I read it, but I don't consider the information he gave in there as spoilers. They did not spoil anything for me. I'm just as eager to read the book. It's funny, I work in a camping lot in France, as a night guard, and it's packed with English people. And all they seem to do at night is read, read, read. And when I pass by their tents and caravans, and see them reading, I just think "in a few days, I'll be doing that too, with the new Harry Potter book". It helps me go through the night. I imagine how great it'll be. And it truly is gonna be awesome!!!! It's Thursday, 4:30 am now my shift is over, and I have to go back there tomorrow night, and the next night I'm not working, so I'll go to bed early, to get up at eight and be there at the opening of the bookstore. It's absolutely awesome. I love this. I can't wait!!!!

people who will ruin this crowning moment of my childhood joys MUST DIE!! >_< two days seem like forevur!! I won't think of it, and when the weekend comes, I won't even know it. Sigh. Nostalgia. It's been less than a decade since I first read Harry. He grew up so fast~

i need 2 get my mind off of this!!!!! hahaha, so does ne 1 here play guitar hero???

i doubt if harry turns bad, but he will not be a virgin at the end(i mean the epilogue) he and voldy will fight over the hallows, no clue how it turns out, but i doubt if its the climax.

Truly this is a dumb mistake, one of the biggest mistakes of 2007, along with rating the Simpsons Movie PG-13 for crude humor (and nothing else), releasing Paris Hilton from jail, and letting Hillary Clinton run for president. I hate the New York Times anyway. The only good thing about them is their movie sections. They have poster-sized color ads for the movies! I'm from Boston, so NY is stupid. (Though I have been there, it is nice, I just don't like New Yorkers themselves, especially Hillary Clinton, the stupid b***h. "One of the plot’s key turning points concerns Harry’s decision whether to continue looking for the Horcruxes — the mission assigned to him by the late Dumbledore — or whether to pursue, instead, three magical objects known as the Hallows, which are said to make their possessor the master of Death." Yeah, go suck on a cauldron cake, you spoilin' little Bronx pigs. I hate you New Yorkers. Especially you, Derek Jeter and Hillary Clinton. You make my life miserable as hell!

Well, for your information DanielRadcliffeISsexy, New Yorkers are wonderful. Furthermore, every person I have met from Newton (and Brookline for that matter), Ma has turned out to be a cocky, arrogant berk. Much, it seems, like yourself.

This sucks, people..WE DON'T WANT TO BE SPOILED!! Why do you have to write about the review in your comment?, just because you're an idiot and have no patience doesn't mean you have to ruin it for the rest of us!

EXCUSE ME, HOW DO YOU LOG OUT OF MUGGLENET?!

Not sure if anyone has said this yet, and I don't want to read through all the comments. lol But the mystery about the photographed book not being 784 pages is solved. On the NY Times page, it has the book listed as being...*drum roll*...759 pages! So I'm thinking that means the leak is real!

Yes theghqueen I do play guitar hero! Its super fun!

Glowien: How did you know I'm from MA? Grrrrr........

wow, i love how mugglenet said they wouldn't post spoilers... and then they post this. great, just great..

I MUST NOT READ I MUST NOT READ yeah this will last 2 minutes lol

Why even post this? and to the person who wrote what Deathly Hallows means and the number of deaths, i loathe you entirely.

the leak is unfortunately real. i have not read it tho i have been spoiled by all sorts of places, all pointing in different directions. but the leak is real.

I am DISGUSTED by NY Times. It used to be my fav newspaper. I can't believe they would do this! They have millions of subscribers who DO NOT want to read the plot in one page...or however long their review is. It's one thing for idiots to spoil it and completely different for a newspaper such as theirs to do this. I'm appalled. What would have it cost them to wait 3 more days? Happiness of many fans? This is incredibly low of them.

gee, that's nice of the the new york times. It's still two whole days before anybody can get their hands on Deathly Hallows, but, they go ahead and run review of it. Just so they can get a scoop and say they were first. Who cares about spoilers, really? I bet the reviewer opens up the article saying they're being discreet and won't divulge much, but how can you not in a book review? Especially with an article that size. But I'm Staying strong and I won't touch that thing with a ten-foot broomstick. Just ignore it everybody!! It's now LESS than 50 HOURS!!! It's that close! STAY STRONG! Boo to the New York Times for this stunt.

but i think we all need to think, at least we don't know all of the plot, and when we read the book, it'll still be enjoyable even though most, like myself, have been spoilled by newspapers who said they would tell the ending...i can't believe that, but i am actually calmer so that i can get through the midnight madness.....i am soooooo PISSED AT NY TIMES AND THE BALT. SUN...and at MUGGLENET....even though i still can't resist coming to this sight...D:

I really think its awful that ppl actually want to ruin this for all of us. The ppl that wrote it are definitely not hp fans and should really just keep their mouths shut.

I really think Mugglenet should take this off of the website. This is an ultimate test of will power and character for me, here. I can barely breathe because I want to read it so bad, but I know I shouldn't. gaaaaah conflicted >=[
