Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows leaked to BitTorrent

Written by Smaran on July 17, 2007 

The final book in the Harry Potter series has been leaked to BitTorrent. A torrent with photographs of each page of the American edition of “Deathly Hallows” has shown up on multiple torrent sites.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

We first got wind of this when two torrents of the book appeared on Demonoid.com. They became immensely popular with over a 1000 leechers and seeders each. But after some time were removed by either the uploader, or more likely, the moderators, in a move to avoid the attention of bloodthirsty publishers.

Not surprisingly, both those torrents spread over to mininova and several other sites and are still going strong (update: mininova removed the torrents). One of the torrents only has the first 495 pages of the book, whereas the second is the complete book.

Over the past couple of weeks, numerous torrents have surfaced online claiming to be the 7th and last Harry Potter book. They are all fakes. Fan fiction. This one, on the other hand, is the real thing. Someone has managed to get their hands on the American edition of the book and has photographed each page of the book and uploaded it to BitTorrent.

The main complaint that’s coming up in comment threads on these sites is that the quality isn’t great. You can just barely manage to read each page. And as some downloaders promptly noted, a few pages cannot be read at all without editing the images in Photoshop.

Die-hard fans of the series will undoubtedly rush to grab a copy of the torrent for themselves. But anybody else would really have to see whether reading the book a week before the rest of the world is worth risking their eyesight and brains, squinting to make out what happens when Harry confronts He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named for the last time.

“HERES A NEW ONE:

DUMBLEDORE IS REALLY ALIVE COS VOLDEMORT REVIVED HIM (COS THEY’RE ACTUALLY BEST FRIENDS)

DUMBLEDORE IS ALSO A DEATH EATER

HARRY DISCOVERS THAT THE ONLY WAY 2 DESTROY A HORCRUX IS 2 EAT IT, SO HE FINDS EVERY HORCRUX….AND EATS THEM ALL!!!

HARRY KILLS RON, HERMIONE, HEDWIG, KREACHER, GINNY, THE DURESLYS, THE WEASLYS, THE MALFOYS, SNAPE, PEEVES, LUPIN, HAGRID, WORMTAIL…..PRETTY MUCH EVERYONE IN THE BOOK….AND GUESS WHAT?? HE EATS ALL OF THEM 2!!!

THE FINAL SHOWDONW IS IN HONEYDUKES. YES!! HARRY KILLS VOLDEMORT (ITS TRUE) AND THEN HE MARRYS DOBBY AND LIVES HAPPILY EVER AFTER….

THIS IS TRUE EVERYONE…I HAVE READ THE !REAL! BOOK BECAUSE I WORK AT FLOURISH AND BLOTTS!!!

I AM SORRY IF I HAV RUINED THE BOOK FOR U!!!”

brilliant.!

im so glad i waited for the real book to come out before i read all this — you people can be so bloody confusing.

and even though the book has been out for over 24 hours, a lot of you are still getting your facts wrong. how about giving the REAL book a try, people?!

Ron and Hermione have two kids: Rose and Hugo. NOT HUGE (although i did find that rather funny).
Harry and Ginny have three kids: James, Albus Severus, and Lily.

and i agree: people who hate spoilers shouldn’t read spoilers. it’s that simple, people.

email me at pnkatlvr@hotmail.com if you’d like to talk about it.

YOU PEOPLE MAKE ME SICK.
GOOD, DAY.

262 Jul 22, 2007 at 22:09 by Hairy Pooper

OK. I’m going to actually tell you what went on in the last book. First, Fred and George get in a fight over who will marry Hermione. Ron gets pissed and kills them both. It is revealed that Lily Potter had an affair with Snape and Snape is really Harry’s dad. Harry shoves a broom stick up his……can you guess?…….up his nose. ha! perverts! Then Voldemort and Harry are fighting. Voldemort attacks Harry with a bolt of lightning which causes abnormal hair growth on Harry’s…….can you guess this one?…………come on…get it right…..his pewter. Then he attacks Voldemort with a hormone induced rage and Voldemort sends it back at him and Harry becomes horny. Harry’s pewter extends ten feet up and rips out of his pants. Then he aioms it at Voldemort and shoves it up his ass. “Herpes attack!” Harry yells. Then Voldemort screams in agony. “It’s not fair! I never got to have sex! Why do I have herpes?!” Then out of nowhere Ginny appears and Voldemort pins her to the ground before violently raping her. Harry gets jealous and kills Voldemort. Then he fucks Ginny. Later he learns she gave him all kinds of diseases and STD’s and shoots her fucking brains out.

first of all most of those spoilers are complete and utter rubbish. RON DOES NOT DIE!!!! The Deathly Hallows are not a place they are three objects when put together make the beholder master of death. Voldemort doesnt die at the ministry of magic, he dies in hogwarts. I dont even think that guy read the fucking book. or if he did hes a bloody idiot. Neville doesnt kill bellatrix. DUMBLEDORE IS DEAD PEOPLE.

Well, Rose IS Rons and Hermione’s Kid. Harry’s children are named Lily, Albus Severus and James. I’ve read the hole book and though I’m German, I think I understand that part quite well…

265 Jul 23, 2007 at 01:06 by Fuk

266 Jul 23, 2007 at 01:23 by Derrick

The spoilers linked from this page are almost COMPLETELY WRONG. Only one of the so-called “spoilers” is correct… you’ll have to read to find out which one.

267 Jul 23, 2007 at 03:41 by Kay

The spoilers on here are not correct…I just finished the book a few hours ago…A certain some one does not die…and well thats all I’m gonna say cause I don’t want to post spoilers..Just don’t listen to this crap..Read the book

268 Jul 23, 2007 at 03:45 by Kay

[quote comment="135893"]Yea, it’s solid, and true.

The leaked photos are legit, and the book is only 5 hundred and something pages long.

Looks like Rowling was the one lying.[/quote]
By the way Rons sister’s name is not Jenny it is Ginny. Duh[/quote]
Have you ever even read the books yourself? The book is 759 pages long by the way

269 Jul 23, 2007 at 08:10 by ---

That’s a load of rubbish. Read the book. In relation to the spoilers: (DON’T READ IF YOU WANT TO READ THE BOOK PROPERLY)

1. Ron does not die

2. Lupin does

3. Percy does not, Fred does.

4. Voldemort is killed by Harry

5. Snape is killed by Voldemort

6. Ron is not killed, Mrs Weasley kills Bellatrix

7. Snape actually is trustworthy, because he’s in love with Harry’s mother, and has been scheming with Dumbledore only for many years

8. Harry Potter is a horcrux, but this horcrux is killed when Harry sacrifices himself for the greater good. Harry is not killed

9. Voldemort is killed at Hogwarts

10. The Deathly Hallows are not a place, they are objects.

11. And someone does lose a body part! George loses his ear when a misfired dark curse hit him

12. The epilogue is not a news article. Its structured exactly the same as any other chapter, except its nineteen years later.

13. Hermione is not a healer, she marries Ron (who is not dead).

14. Neville becomes the Herbology teacher, the other stuff is trash.

15. Load of crap that horcrux rubbish about a book

16. When Harry gives Kreacher the fake locket that belonged to his previous master, he basically falls in love with Harry and serves him the whole time.

17. Snape becomes the new Headmaster, but is soon killed. Unspecified.

18. Nothing said about the job, has three kids.

[quote comment="133709"]you need to be extremely careful, people are posting spoilers all over the place. like who dies and what not.[/quote]
ur gay

271 Jul 23, 2007 at 08:44 by Iforgot911

Okay, I just finished the whole book, pretty much read non-stop, except to eat and sleep,but Im putting in all the true spoilers:

1. Harry dies
2. Harry comes back to life after talking to Dumbledore while dead
3. George loses an ear
4. Snape was instructed by Dumbledore to kill him
5. Harry decides not to worry about the Deathly Hallows at the end and leaves the Ressurection Stone in the Forbidden Forest
6. Snape becomes headmaster
7. DUMBLEDORE REMAINS DEAD!
8. Tonks and Remus Lupin have a son named Teddy.
9. Ron ran out on Harry and Hermione
10. Harry risks his life to save Malfoy and Goyle from Fiendfyre
11. He goes back to the night of his parents death
12. Harry becomes Teddy’s godfather.

People who die: Colin, George, Dobby, Crabbe, Voldemort, Snape, Alabastor (Mad Eye) Moody, Tonks, Batilda Bagshot, Remus Lupin, Bellatrix Lestrange, Nagini (the snake), and I may have missed one or two of the less important characters, but that covers most of them.
