Possibility of 'Deathly Hallows' being sold early
Possibility of 'Deathly Hallows' being sold early It has emerged that some book stores in the UK are not required to keep a written agreement preventing them from selling Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows before its release next Friday.

"It's quite possible one will break the embargo," says Katherine Rushton from The Bookseller magazine. "They'd do it to be first, and for all the PR."

Bloomsbury replied saying that there is "no reason to believe anyone would want to ruin the excitement. If such a thing were to happen, we believe that the public would make their feelings known by not buying it from such a spoilsport retailer. [However] it is our intention to vigorously enforce the embargo if required."

fredandgeorge34- (stops doing happy dance on victory) where did you here it? then maybe we will noe. give the sentence its used in


Posted by goldenboyss19 Jul 13th 2007

ugh, i think im really going to stop reading the comments until im finished with the book. if someone is actually right..ill go crazy. mugglenet should just disable comments until after the book comes out. you guys are anti-spoiler, and obviously people keep trying to spoil the book, so just get rid of the comments for now


Posted by fredandgeorge34 Jul 13th 2007

please anybody answer my question, pretty pretty please


Posted by Quantummilkshake Jul 13th 2007

HAha. I'd actually prolly buy it. To have it. Not spoil it. But I'd hold it up and taunt my friends.. lol.

HARRY POTTER DEATHLY HALLOWS FACTS 1. ITS 843 PAGES LONG 2. 3 PEOPLE DIE VOLDEMORT , LUPIN AND MOODY 3. SIRIUS BLACK IS NOT DEAD


Posted by chommy Jul 13th 2007

hpdies: I'm pretty sure when JK confirms that Sirius is dead, he's dead so stop trying to get attention.


Posted by fredandgeorge34 Jul 13th 2007

well...I read it a lot of times in youtube, they just say LMFAO when somthing funny happens in the video, I want 2 ask them in the comments but I don't have an account and I don't have time to make 1 (gonna watch that's so raven soon), so if you got any ideas, don't hesitate and please tell...btw, hpdies: y don't u do us all a favour and go kill yourself, or better let someone ulse stab u in your eye.


Posted by sirius_lee Jul 13th 2007

hpdies, JUST STOOP U R MAKING A FOOL OF YOUR SELF, read the last page to see our hatred towards u, the comments during your "absence"


Posted by axlgirl Jul 13th 2007

Let's just ignore the little ****ing troll, guys. He will get bored sooner or later, and go away. People with IQ's as painfully tiny as his - they never have very long attention spans....


Posted by mrshand Jul 13th 2007

It's not that they're not REQUIRED to keep to the written agreement, legally they are. However, given that this is the last book in the series, Bloomsbury can't say "you won't get book 8 if you sell book 7 early." as they have been able to do in the past. I think that Bloomsbury should do what movie companies here in the US do with DVD releases, and sue the stores who sell the book prior to midnight on the 21st. A breach of contract suit would be extremely appropriate in these circumstances.

If you want to know if Ron, Hermione, and Harry die, and you believe Emerson when he says that Rowling answered that question before she became famous, then check out this youtube video: do a search for: JKR Story Emerson. For those who don’t want to be spoiled STOP reading now! For those who do want to know, keep reading. If you don’t want to know for 7 more days…please exercise some self control and read the next comment. Ok. Rowling said none of the trio dies in the ending. How’s that for a surprise!


Posted by SnapeIsHawt Jul 13th 2007

How ... annoying can one person BE? hpdies is obviously a stuck-up brat that originates from a place called Fakers 'R' Us and, unfortunately, was brought. Annoyingly, he escaped from his plastic box and is now trying to concur the muggle society, occasionally stepping aside from the huge shoes trying to tread on him (hopefully high heels) and going down the MoM visitors entrance, given the title of 'Order of Spoilers, First Class' by the kind lady who speaks to him in the red phone box. Fortunately, I can exclusively reveal that muggles and wizards are putting aside their differences and meeting up at an unknown location, plotting the hopeful murder of the-boy-who-is-messed-up.


Posted by sticky Jul 13th 2007

Hpdies- can i just say, coming back to create agrument and annoyance amoung these comment pages is not being powerful. you are being inadequate in fact. I feel sorry for you that you have nothing better to do than spread nasty pathetic rumours about the deathly hallows. It is obvious you are not a true fan, a true fan would not spoil or try to with stupid rumours for fun. I think it would be better if you stopped saying stupid and idiotic things on here, it will just cause more argument. Your rumours are infact pathetic, it seems to be a turn of attention. Now one cares any more!!!!!!! so stop it, you are digging yourself ina hole and making a complete a** of yourself.

Posted by rob15 Jul 13th 2007

*snipes out HPDIES who falls out of window into bucket of bat droppings then stakes HPDIES to a tree and beats him senseless with books then sends cat upon him while he screeches like a drunken hyiena*


Posted by tor Jul 13th 2007

What the heck!! Why isn't hpdies kicked off yet. Harry Potter is supposed to bring us together, just look at the HPAlliance thing. He's trying to do the opposite and NOT succeding. We are united against him. Has someone informed Mugglenet??


Posted by sirius_lee Jul 13th 2007

hey hpdies, how much do you hate cheesecake. cuz we hate u alot worse so just imagine that!!! hey guys, isnt hpdies TOTALLY messed?


Posted by fredandgeorge34 Jul 13th 2007

well g2g...do me all a favour and keep cursing hpdies till he actually strangles himself with regret...i'll be LMAO while watching That's So Raven


Posted by sticky Jul 13th 2007

i think someone should inform mugglenet. perhaps we should all do it....therefore we will definately be heard. I can't believe that soeone would be that stubborn to try and ruin things, even if the rumours are true or not. it needs to stop now.


Posted by weasleyismyking17 Jul 13th 2007

what??? that is sooo stupid. unfair to us americans!! that better not happen. i will complain!


Posted by aristali Jul 13th 2007

Thanks fredandgeorge34 -- i thot there might be somebody who like to know that. I accidentally found that link- i didnt realize what it was about to say but im glad i found it now.


Posted by rob15 Jul 13th 2007

*THEN STUFFS GIANT CHEESECAKE DOWN HPDIES THROAT AND LAUGHS AS HE EXPLODES INTO CHEESE DROPPINGS*


Posted by axlgirl Jul 13th 2007

sirius_lee, i'm just surprised that hpdies managed to read the books at all, because judging from his posts, he's the most illiterate baboon ever to disgrace the face of the earth.


Posted by tor Jul 13th 2007

Yeah-Let's write to them-Would it be on feedback or what, we should all say basically the same thing like-Look on the 101-151 page of "Possibility of DH being sold early" or something- Oh and sirius_lee yes I LOATHE hpdies (sorry it took me so long to answer-my '3 minutes' weren't up)


Posted by sirius_lee Jul 13th 2007

yea a couple people should inform mugglenet. this person is so... k no words describe how we feel. hey hpdies theres this candle dynamite rite, so just light it up and sit rite infront of it k? it reeeaaaalllyyy bright! u njoe u waaant to!


Posted by rob15 Jul 13th 2007

wait for it....okay....WHEN DUMBLEDORE FELL OFF THE FLIPPIN TOWER HE ACTUALLY LANDED IN A GIANT BARREL OF CHEESECAKE AND SOME CATS...WHEN SIRIUS WAS HIT BY THE SPELL, THERE WAS ACTUALLY A VERY THICK BEANPOLE THAT WAS ON THE INSIDE HIS JACKET THAT THE SPELL HIT AND HE WAS ACTUALLY TRANSPORTED INTO THAT GIANT BARREL OF CHEESECAKE....SOOO.....DU MBLY AND SIRIUS ARE BIDING THEIR TIME LIKE TWO DIRTBURGLARS UNTIL THE TIME IS RIGHT TO STRIKE LIKE DRUNKEN HYIENAS! just kidding


Posted by tor Jul 13th 2007

Hey Guys, hpdies hasn't posted for a while-Oh wait-He probably will come back "stronger than ever" or whatever.


Posted by axlgirl Jul 13th 2007

tor - i think he's probably getting his nappy changed...


Posted by sirius_lee Jul 13th 2007

yeah with some more retarted theories(if its even possible) or maybe he took my advice and used the "candle" hahahha


Posted by tor Jul 13th 2007

Well-I mean, seriously, HOW can you be STRONGER on a website. All you do is type. So unless hpdies did his finger exersises...and I'm praying that he did light the candle :)


Posted by sirius_lee Jul 13th 2007

hes os stupid that he probably did and if he didnt its cuz he cant read. or maybe he just went to eat some cheesecake and cried ovr the fact that rob said he wont give him any


Posted by tor Jul 13th 2007

Yeah. Maybe THIS time he was kicked off. Hopefully... Let's all pray together...


Posted by sticky Jul 13th 2007

ha ha ha...lol at least he/she has stopped posting stupid comments. :D


Posted by rob15 Jul 13th 2007

i tied HPDIES to a tree and beat him senseless with the cover of DH and stuffed cheesecake down his throat until he gave in and said he will never again talk like an orangutan poking its butt...


Posted by SnapeIsHawt Jul 13th 2007

hpdies has probably pooped himself from revealing his theory in excitement, spilling his mashed carrots on the floor. His mummy's giving him a good telling off, telling him he is not allowed to ever read DH. Ever. So, because of this, he is now ranting off some pretty fake theories 'cause he's upset. May I give you a suggestion? Go fill up your bottle with some milk and go to bed.


Posted by sirius_lee Jul 13th 2007

yea when youre really stressed out u should nap early


Posted by ginerva_weasley Jul 13th 2007

darn!! I'll have to shut down a few days early now. I'm gonna have to rough it for a bit. No Internet/TV from the 18-21. I'm quite mad that my dad decided to get transfered to the states before DH comes out. Did I make some higher power mad at me?


Posted by severin Jul 13th 2007

Actually, does anyone remember when HBP came out, Mugglenet locked down for several days, just for the purpose of preventing spoilers getting posted? I think that's what they did. Then once they unlocked the comments, they made a plea to everyone to not post anything that would spoil the book - but that kind of thing is very difficult to police.


Posted by sirius_lee Jul 13th 2007

k, locking down would be good if it wernt 4 people like hpdies who make retarted predictions b4 its out


Posted by tor Jul 13th 2007

Well guys-This has been wonderful fun, but I g2g. I might get on later to see what sort of trash-talking you can do to hpdies. Oh, and hpdies-If you are reading this-go kill yourself


Posted by soccerluver13 Jul 13th 2007

I'm gonna shoot anybody if they spoil it for me, cause I won't be able to finish it til like Sunday since I have a soccer tourney.


Posted by sirius_lee Jul 13th 2007

its been fun g2g ill be back though keep bothering her


Posted by staylor Jul 13th 2007

that's very disappointing--how much do you want to bet that it's the same small bookstores that were whining about not being able to sell enough books for it to be worth it for them to stock it?! I don't know about anyone else, but I'm actually pretty scared about going to the book party, because I'm afraid some little asswipe with grab his book, skip to the last page and shout out the ending. I WILL DIE if that happens...after killing that person, of course. I truly hope that anyone else who wants to attend the party and stick around until after midnight for their copy will not do it just to ruin the book for someone else!


Posted by SPEW07 Jul 13th 2007

LMFAO....Laughing my fu**ing @$$ off


Posted by fredandgeorge34 Jul 13th 2007

(finished watching That's So Raven, not that u care)...u guys are sooo lucky, cuz from where I come from, we don't have any book parties, harry potter and the order of phoenix (the movie) will come out next week, but hopefully DH will come just in time. Wow, hpdies got kicked out, he deserved it, but I miss that retard already, wish he would come back (without ludacrous theories, not that anyone would believe him/her).
