Is it a hoax? Did the Harry Potter book really get leaked online or is it a publicity stunt?
Yes, I have seen several websites that have offered it to download…no telling if any of them are real though.

Yep, but the good thing is several versions of this book was posted and of course J.K. isn't saying which is the correct version. Also one book store stuck it's nose at the authors deadline and started selling her books already. Before the day was over an nice suit was issued to them. My guess is that store will go bankrupt by the end of next year when the hearing will take place.

Lots of people claim to have it and posting it online. They all seem to be claiming different ending as well, so even if one is right, then we don't even know who really has it.

Here's what happens. They give your several choices for a "plot mystery," and then let you decide, but they decide the final outcome. Does that sound like leaking?
