To the night and its stars, to the here and now with who we are.
Another sunrise with my sad captains, with who I choose to lose my mind,

I heard a lot of talk today about how Harry has to die for the series to be wrapped up. But is it really so essential? Pirates 3 wrapped it up nicely (though I'm sure a few execs want to keep churning out the dough on that franchise)
So, any thoughts on an ending that would wrap everything up without the death of Harry?Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering-Yoda

I'd wait if I were you- full set will probably be cheaper than individuals- I'm suprised that I can't find a full set listed yet, at least not on Amazon.ca.Originally posted by Erised View Post

Does anyone know if the "pages" of the book that were "leaked" are real? Because someone spammed my LJ comments with giant block letters saying "what happens", and I'm panicing because I read the first few words before realizing what it was.....

I haven't read those pages and won't!!! I'm so glad I'm not involved in any fandom anymore.... No spoilers... just surprises!!!Comment

This wasn't even in fandom! I'm not active in HP fandom for this very reason! This was some random ******* that I've never heard of who went and posted a comment on my now-to-be-private LJ only five days after I started the thing, on an entry where I happened to mention how excited I am for the final book. And I am none-too-pleased at all.Originally posted by Erised View Post

Even if they are real, I wouldn't read them. I mean, come on, you don't have to wait so long anymore. In 15 days you can read the real one...sigpic

I'm sure JK will think of a more original ending for the book. So far all her books have pretty much surprised us all.Originally posted by Exiled Master View Post

Are we there yet?
I used to dabble in HP fandom but it drove me nuts after a while, and now remain un-spoiled. I am disinclined to believe anything I read on the Internet about "what definitely absolutely positootly is gonna happen" in the book - this way I stay (fairly) sane.

From what I've read, a man was sent to prison for four and a half years after releasing information he stole in advance of HBP's release date. They aren't even investigating this guy's statements because they're not credible.Originally posted by Trek_Girl42 View PostDoes anyone know if the "pages" of the book that were "leaked" are real?

Rowling's publishers have worked very hard to keep the manuscripts off computers, to the point of using employees to hand-carry manuscripts between the States and the UK. Very few people know where the copies are being printed and where they're being stored once they're printed. The goal is to release the books to the stores within 24 hours of its release date. They admit they can't do this for all the books, but they have managed to make arrangements for most stores to receive their books within that 24 hour window.
So some random person goes on the internet, claims to have hacked into the information from an office that didn't have the manuscript loaded on any of its computers and then releases "spoilers" that he made up. I wouldn't worry about it.sigpic

Hmmm... All this talk of the book being on computers (or not as the case may be) got me thinking.
Do you guys think an illustrated PDF version of the books that one could read on ones laptop/PDA/Blackberry/PSP (delete as applicalbe) might be an idea for sometime in the future?
Just a random idea...sigpic

That level of security for a book is just amazing- equally amazing is the fact that with so many copies being printed that they can keep it under wraps. I remember for HBP a store in Vancouver sold six copies a week beforehand, and everyone who bought one had to sign forms etc. promising not divulge anything, but got autographed copies of the book when it did come out. Made international news I recall.
