Pottermania bandwagon

I think the most popular PDF of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows that's floating around may be a fake. Either that, or if it's real then Bloomsbury and Scholastic publishers are guilty of appallingly bad proofreading in a book this important.

Being the kind of person who, by and large, doesn't mind spoilers, I went and read the (alleged) plot outline on Wikipedia, downloaded the PDF, and clicked right to the epilogue only to find this on page 634:

“You’ll right to me, won’t you?” [name deleted] asked his parents immediately, capitalizing on the momentary absence of his brother.

Hehehe oh well.

I think I may just wait for my Harry Potter fan friend to finish and ask if I can borrow hers.

In other news, four major booksellers in Malaysia are refusing to sell HP7 because the hypermarket chains Tesco (from the UK) and Carrefour (French) are selling it at RM69.90 instead of the official retail price of RM109.90. I suspect they'll whip out their copies and still make a killing once the hypermarkets run out of stock.
