Drmike says he found a site where you can download “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows”.
Would you download a possibly incomplete copy of a new book? What if it’s not as polished as the finished item? Would the glaring grammatical mistakes, and unedited paragraphs ruin the experience for you?
What about the experience of lying in bed with a good book, engrossed in it and falling asleep with the light on? Is it the same with a set of printed sheets from your computer? I think not. That scene in The Devil Wears Prada does spring to mind where the kids are reading the manuscript on the train..
Meanwhile, Scott Adams has an excellent post on copyright violation which he later explained was an experiment in “cognitive dissonance”.
If you’ve read anything about experiments to produce cognitive dissonance, you know this was the perfect setup. You can produce dissonance by putting a person in a position of doing something that is clearly opposed to his self image. Then wait for his explanation. The explanation will seem absurd to anyone who doesn’t share the dissonance. In this case the model that produced it was…
1. Good people are not criminals.
2. Criminals break laws.
3. I break copyright laws.
4. But since I know I am a good person, my reason why it’s okay to violate copyright laws is (insert something absurd).
I don’t think it worked on me because I happen to agree with him that copyright violation is theft. Previous mind experiments have however worked on me so I’m as susceptable as anyone. His underpants story was particularly absurd however, even if in keeping with his sense of humour and not at all out of place on the Dilbert blog!
21st July – the book is out and I’ve seen it. I took a picture of the last page but I don’t think anyone really wants to see it, do you? There’s Michael reading his copy of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows!

would somebody please send me the new harry potter 7 book oat my email: gladiator707fighter@yahoo.com Thanks a bunch!
Wikipedia also says that the entire book was leaked on the internet, so it’s a distinct possibility that this might actually be the the original book.
I know this is a total fake but the real pages are actually out there, this guy found pages 1 through 495 on the internet. they were photos from the book that some idiot put on the internet. but its still stupid to waste your time trying to read it only days before it comes out.why ruin it for everyone.
Actually the latest leak is also a fake. Very convincing fake too, given that a guy apparently took pictures of each one of the 784 pages of Deathly Hallows. But believe me, it’s a fake. There are many grammatical errors. I think Rowling herself ordered this fake version though. The Guardian released the supposed first paragraph of DH, and claimed that they read it off from a TV footage where Rowling was seen opening the book. The same paragraph can be found on this latest leak. This would not have been possible unless if Rowling herself is involved.
Dear god, its only a bloody book!
It’ll get printed, sell millions and JK will get richer. Good for her.
But why the urgency? I’ll happilly wait for the discount version in 3 months time!
SEND IT TO ME TOO!

the style of the fake(melindaleo version) is every different from any of the HP books, JK has never started off her books with something directly involving harry, its always a scene from his childhood or some other seemingly unimportant thing involving different people that becomes more and more relevant as the book goes on…stop trying people, the book comes out in a few days.
i have that copy.. with the guy taking pictures of the book itself. The copy sucks!
i have jst downloaded the book.. wow its great!!! i believe this is the real book anybody want me to send them a copy?
yes please, my email is ryanrryan@hotmail.com
i think the downloaded file is a fake but at certain parts it really does look like JKs writing. Many things that i read in the book didnt seem like the kind of thing JK would put into her 7th book for example the adult thing between Ginny and Harry now people do grow up with the books but so far Jk has never mentioned the theme of sex in any of her books. if its real i think its bringing some new themes for shocks. if its fake then this is a very good author who did this and should write his/her own book series because you gotta admit this (fake) is a pretty good read anyway.
yes i want a copy please for my 15 year old daughter thanks
Send me plz
vvfaq@yandex.ru
If this is a fake that wouldn’t mean that it isn’t worth reading in and of it’s own rights. The work may be artistically valid (and is practically impossible for it to be otherwise). Also anyone who needs a book to be bound to have their imagination active or enthralled needs to re-analyse their values and priorities.
Sorry for grammar and spelling mistakes.
Well I just read one line and i know that it’s now J.K.’s Writting style
Hi everyone, I have real copy of Harry Potter 7.
But I’s really not good because it is captured by someone.
Contact me if interested
I’v searched the net but can’t find the real book, does anyone know a link to it?
Actually the last word in the lsat harry potter book has been changed it is no longer “scar”. J.K Rowling said so on an interview in Britian if u want to see the interview i think its on the website mugglenet.com there should be a link to click on to watch its!
If the copy on genmay.com is in fact created by Rowling’s publishing company..
I will laugh when fans say that that version is better than the real one.
After all, Rowling used to pick garbage out of trash cans..
i think the photographed book is the real mcoy its going around the news how pissed of scholastic is . so plz send me the copy to my email add and lets piss emm of alil more daskapitalist@hotmail.com

hi i will never ever trust a book befor releasing the original one.they are all fakes.but if anyone gets the ebook of original one on 21st please mail it to me sina_world@yahoo.com
yep definatly a fake….wonderful theories though, it takes some really dedicated fans to pull something like this together though. however, its pissing the world off which one is real….which one is fake……come on…just wait. I only dl’d out of curiosity I would so much rather read JK’s work, however, there’s a good chance that some parts could be true, like I’m really diggin the dudders being a wiz, theory, what else would dumbledore have had hanging over pet.and vern’s head? why else would they agree to raise harry?(ABOUT THE HOWLER…OTP). and there may be a good chance that this is the book….less chapters 1-3 and the last two chapters, newsweek speculated that this copy was leaked by an associate of rowling who no longer works for her
it is 608 pages long.
would someone send me a copy to my email?
sabria192@aol.com
I know its fake but it would be fun to read
If you have azurus you can torrent about 800 pictures of the actual book… some of them are blurry so you can’t read, but it’s pretty cool! (it is the actual book!)
The Book isA 100% fake I know because I just read it.The witeing all worng for J K. .But if you want A guss I world say they dont kill off harry or Ron Hermione.I world say in the end Harry marries.Ginny Ron marries Hermione of corse just a guss
plz tell me where evrybody is getting the hp7 book from e-mail it at star2style@hotmail.com
The version Mini Me links to the screens of is definitely genuine. I’ve read the whole book and it’s the correct writing style, answers all the questions and ties up all the loose ends.
I can fully understand why Scholastic are trying to tell people it’s fake and futhermore I’m sure there are fake copies flying around (like the one linked to at the top).
This is definitely genuine though. If it isn’t the person who ‘faked’ it should be given a medal as they have produced a fantastic ending.
Just to reiterate I’ve seen photos and a typed pdf of it.
i found the real images in tv website
Hello Guy my book is now avalible just go bye it the one on the net is fake

Hi! I´m from spain, would somebody please send me the new harry potter 7 book oat my email
send it to Anewshow@hotmail.com
Thanks! :O)
Harry Potter downloadable? Well, why not? J.K. Rowling has gained over a BILLION dollars and really doesn’t need our coins. The publishing companies are in NO need of more money, since they are leeching off the artists as always…. so I have no problem with downloading a good reading if I get to it. That being said, I have given my children the paperback versions of HP in the past, and will do so again this time.
But curiousity needs to be fed… where to download the real deal? Just watch the video on youtube and your questions shall be answered:
FUCK YOU DANKOOZY KISS MY FUCKING RICH ASS
GO BUY MY FUCKING BOOK
LOVE YOU FUCKING FRIEND
JK SHITTY ROWLIN
THIS IS NOT FAKE ITS ME

Stop this stupid stories of rowling
Andrea and others… you can check on the following link in order to get the book.
Sometimes it is removed due to… some greedy corporations… which results in it being put up for free again.
Just try to satisfy your own needs, until you are able to get the hardcover version.
Here the link … which I forgot to enter in my post:
i did download this fanfic ebook just to see the hype and i must say i thought it was fantastic! similar writing style although there were many grammatical errors which gave away that it wasnt the real thing. i loved the way it delved into the ginny harry relationship. however i did have the distinct feeling that i had read it or experianced the content previous however i couldnt find anything that resembled the content in the other books. it almost seems to make the real book a little boring as it takes a while for it to really get going. loved the fake! the writer should be proud.
well dont btw with making harry seem more like a normal 17 year old boy with feelings and needs rather than just a wizard. the way ron and hermione were written i think was also intune with how they should be. although this version certainly is a little more adult than what i would let my own child read since these books are supposed to be childrens books….perhaps the writer could write an adult version of the series for those of us who enjoy a little more tension and gore 🙂 cheers
