Yup I am a fan, both of the marketing phenomenon and of the wonderful tale of Harry Potter and his friends.

And this time I might just buy the book when it comes out instead of waiting for it to go on sale at Borders a year later - I have great patience.

Some spoilers have surfaced online. Unfortunately the two I found seem to contradict each other. My take is that they're fake.

SPOILERS ALERT! (For those who may be affected, fake or not.)

"Gabriel", a person who claims to have hacked into the publisher's website claims that Snape kills Hagrid and Voldemort kills Hermoine, and finally Harry kills Voldemort on Privet Drive. Read it here and the actual email here.

Meanwhile, Gawker claims that a publisher insider told them that "Harry Potter dies. Ripped to a million tiny fleshy pieces."

Neither sound very promising and both contradict each other. Since both claim to have read the story, one or both of them is lying. Frankly I find Gabriel's story more likely but I doubt JK will kill Hermione and Hagrid, two beloved characters. Then again, who knew she'd kill Dumbledore.

We'll find out in 21 days, won't we?

There's a cool fan fic of Deathly Hallows many are mistaking for the real thing which is now floating around the net. Haven't read it yet but heard it isn't bad at all. You can download it here and preview it here.
