One of the big news of today was all about the Harry Potter last and final book spoofing on the climax. A site reportedly posted some 400 photographs of final book revealing some the climax's that every Harry Potter fans longing to know about. This news had churned lot of discussions about the books fate when its set to release by Friday of this week.
Here is the snap shot of the story from MSNBC,
The set of nearly 400 photographs was said by those who posted them to replicate the Potter book in its entirety. The images, viewed by MSNBC.com, purport to be photographs of the new book, painstakingly taken two pages at a time from a copy lying open on the floor.
Good, the Scholastic spokeswoman, would neither confirm nor deny the authenticity of the files.
"There are multiple conflicting versions of what is alleged to be the book," she said. "I am not going to say what's real and what's not real. Nobody is going to be able to tell until they read the real book."
The highly anticipated final book in J.K. Rowling's seven-part series goes on sale Friday night. As is common with the release of highly publicized books and movies, pirates have posted several files online that they claim were obtained from advance copies.
Dueling endings
Last month, a hacker who identified himself as “Gabriel” claimed to have broken into the computer system of British publisher Bloomsbury PLC and posted what he claimed were key plot points, including the deaths of two central characters in the series.
Another version that surfaced this week said that no fewer than five characters die in a violent climax.The version that surfaced Tuesday had a very different outcome, with three characters dying.
I am guessing, it might have well planned drama of the publisher to increase the publicity and invoke interest among the readers.
Free publicity, who don't want that huh!!
