That seems like
far too much of a happy ending to me.

you know if they were smart they'd purposely spread a bunch of fake rumors so that even if the real one is leaked no one will know which one to believe.

I am using this thread to further my own cause.
I DON'T THINK VOLDERMORT IS A BIG PROBLEM.
Case: We know there are other, international wizarding schools. And yet none of those schools seemed concerned about the Voldermort issue. They've sent no help and they never bring it up.
Hence: I believe Voldermort is really not that big of a deal. He's a nusiance to the English wizarding circles, but other than that he's just kind of a thug.
Therefore: These books are a little more goofy.
My case is kind a mess of things littered throughout the books. One point I see as a nice jumping off point into the theory is the importance of
and the fact that Rowling has noted how important this is. It makes too much sense after re-reading the novels and noticing the importance of
relations. We'll see 
Harry having his mother's eyes
paternal/family

I think the books peaked at Goblet of Fire then crashed with Order of the Phoenix. Half Blood Prince was much better than Order of the Phoenix.
I just hope this book isn't structured like a zelda game where he has to go to a different area to find each horcrux.

holy **** that better not be real =(

The first 496 pages have been leaked onto 4chan.
They look very very very legit. If it's a fake, this is truly a testament to how far people will go for a hoax. I just want to warn anyone who desperately does not want this spoiled for them. If it is real, it's only a matter of a few minutes before the flood of real spoilers start being posted all over the place.
Be careful!

Well, being the giant harry potter nerd that I am, I've ended up with both of the fake ones, and read more of them than I should have. This new one coincides with that "leaked first chapter" on www.mugglenet.com, and the shear intensity of what a hoax would have required for it to be this realistic gives me reason to believe it's definitely legit.
Edit- Also, it's not a .txt, a .doc, or a .pdf. It's 256 photos of the book. You can see the binding (which is yellow on the spine and green on the edges) as well as chapter art for each chapter (which all look new and are perfectly in the same style as the chick who does all the US artwork). This would have been such an undertaking to fake.
The first chapter is also ****ing awesome, which alone is the best evidence that it's real.

Calling his children after his parents and dumbledore.....:lol :lol
Can't believe those for a minute.
Well I just took a stroll through 4chan to see if there were any developments on the leaked images. They have already found some big spoilers and are posting tons of them. This stuff looks like it's real folks.
Seriously, if you don't want it spoiled, be extremely wary of the internet from this point forward, because it has been leaked.

That's just a paragraph. That could have easily been worked into something already existent, especially since it's been confirmed that chapter 1 does not involve Harry. The *fake* spoilers from earlier today apparently got some unreleased chapter titles correct.

It sure seems legit, but I wouldn't put it past someone to fake it. Really though, would someone put the amount of effort in to make a fake copyright page look this legit:

Yeah... if that's fake... incredible. :lol
Still, that's the only page I don't care to look at. The only.

That's the one I have.Armitage said:
Is anyone actually trying to read it, though?
In the interests of SCIENCE, I have excerpted some boring sentences at random, encased them in quotes and run them through Google. The idea is that if it is just a fanfic, it would be picked up online.
I'm going to try and pick dull and boring lines that reveal nothing and have nothing to do with the plot, but they'll be spoilered anyways. Keep in mind that I am totally ignorant of the context of these quotes. Who knows, maybe the cookware plays some key role later on.
Line 1:
Result: No matches on Google.

Incidentally,
.com is available. Squatters a go go! Also, a google search for that word brings NO results.

I think this is the real deal.

Harry let her talk, nodding and agreeing whenever there was a pause, but his mind had left the conversation. (page 321)

I have nothing to base it on (haven't read a book since OotP), but I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that it's her; she's just probably tired or whatever.Kevtones said:

The thing is, I've always read legit copies knowingly, so I've never had to debunk the writing style. So far, I've finished the first chapter, and its sort of tough to tell. There is some poor editing/writing, an obvious typo (although maybe its the scan quality), and there are numerous instances where it feels like a fanfic. This is all in the first chapter.
Conversely, here are definite similarities of humor and the consistency of the mythos is there. Maybe going back and reading more
Voldemort dialogue
Honestly though, I hope this isn't legit. It was pretty corny even though
someone dies
