Harry Potter Leaked Via Handheld Camera

owlgorithm writes "Salon reports that Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows has been leaked four days before it hits bookstores. It turns out that someone with access to the American edition of the book has taken a photograph of every one of the pages and made them available via bittorrent. Publishers may well be quaking in their boots, but in some places the quality is barely legible. On many pages the pirateer's hands are in the pictures with other pages needing a bit of Photoshopping just to make out the words. It appears many of the sites have been removing the content, naturally enough."

    Here is how Harry Potter dies. He slits his fucking wrists because he realized he is like the shitdot sheeple, a lowly fucktard who should be eliminated from the gene pool.

    One last thing from the end of the book.

    Snape's loyalty? I found this to be the saddest part of the book. As many people guessed, all was not what it seemed with Dumbledore, and the two did indeed have a plan that would eventually result in Snape killing him. But, Snape was only in on things for personal gain, and when Voldemort learns of this, he is obviously furious with Snape. Snape tries to make up for things by luring Harry to him, but Harry manages to escape, and Voldemort kills Snape before the final conflict.

    I don't know what all these rumours are about Voldemort kidnapping Ron, it's a complete lie. Ron is killed by Bellatrix Lestrange in The Battle of Hogwarts, but Neville manages to finish off Bellatrix after Ron weakens her before his death.

    Harry is not a horcrux.

    As I've already stated, Voldemort kills Snape.

    Voldemort is killed in the Department Of Mysteries. He baits Harry about his parents, Sirius, Dumbledore and Ron. which turns out to be the worst thing Voldemort could have done. As Voldemort steps out into the circular bit with many doors, Harry opens the locked door, and Voldemort is destroyed by the blinding light, which heals Harry, who seems close to death (he does not die).

    The cover art shows Voldemort + Harry at the Deathly Hallows, Harry is attempting to summon Voldemort's Horcrux, as Voldemort is doing his best to keep the enchantment in place.

    No-one loses a body part, no idea where that came from?

    Also Harry does not get drunk whoever said that.

    Harry does not lose his powers.
    What's the deal with the dragon on the US deluxe cover?

    The trio fly on it to get to the Deathly Hallows. Only Harry and Voldemort can fight on the Deathly Hallows, but this is not their final encounter.
    What's happening on the UK kids cover?

    Gringotts. The trio are searching for the locket (it isnt there) but they get vital information on Ravenclaws book here.
    How's the epilogue done?

    I didn't like it. It was in the form of a newspaper article, a sort of 'Where Are They Now?' thing, 20 years on from the final showdown.
    You said Ron dies so what happens to Hermy at the end?

    Becomes editor of Quibbler (her dad passes it on to her)/Remains at Hogwarts to this day/Weasley's Wizard Wheezes becomes multinational/Herbology teacher at Hogwarts after Sprout's death (old age she isnt killed)
    What happens to Voldy's body in the end?

    Completely obliterated by the love from locked room.
    What are the horcruxes? How does Harry find and destroy them?

    Nagini/Locket/Cup/Ravenclaws Book. Symbol on UK spine is a device that enables Harry to locate 'soul fragments' if you will, Harry can destroy them a lot more easily than Dumbledore.
    What's the deal with the mirror? How does RAB and Kreacher come into the story?

    Sirius has left an almost 'voicemail' message on the mirror, to advise him on destroying the horcrux. Kreacher has to tell the trio (on Harry's orders) about the history of the symbol and where to find it.
    What's the lies of Dumbledore chapter about?

    Neon was right about this, this is to do with the plan with Snape. I don't know if he got lucky because the Grindelwald thing isnt even close.

    McGonagall is new headmistress.

    I think you have a misconstrued view of people who spoil plots, deface art, etc. Most the time the people have little emotional investment in what they are defacing, and do it primarily for entertainment value rather than any deep reasons. Think about drunk frat boys. The guy who shot Lennon was a friggin sociopath.

    Sure, defacers are douchebags, and vandals need a good punch to the back of the head, but the people with the real problem are those who get overly worked up about art in the first place.

    Albus, Rose, Hugo and Lily laughed. The train began to move and Harry walked along it, watching his son's thin face, already ablaze with excitement. Harry kept smiling and waiving, even thought it was like a little bereavement, watching his son gliding away from him...

    The last trace of steam evaporated in the autumn air. The train rounded a corner. Harry's hand was still raised in farewell.

    "He'll be all right" murmured Ginny.

    As Harry looked at her, he lowered his hand absent mindedly and touched the lightening scar on his forehead.

    "I know he will."
