So...

[trinityofone]

Please tell me some of the rest of y'all have done the naughty and read you-know-what and want to talk about it here. 'Cause I just don't know enough HP people. (And there's something I've never before regretted. ;-) )

ETA: So far, no actual spoilers in the comments. If/when that changes, I promise to edit with the appropriate warning IMMEDIATELY.

ETA2: I would say that there are some spoilers here now! BACK AWAY.

*is HP person too*

I, erm, donwloaded a certain something, and read a couple of pages, and went 'Ooooh', but I decided against reading any more than that.

Then there was the debate about the authenticity of that, which made me think, "Who would really sit there and PS that?"

I now just want to see if they prove to be genuine or not...I suspect they are, but I think it would be really funny if they did indeed turn out to be the work of someone with a lot of time on their hands and Photoshop.

I know! I mean, having read it all now, it SEEMS pretty genuine to me? But if it's fake, WOW, am I impressed. I'm not even sure how it could be done. (Though I imagine the ending could be faked or something. We'll see.)

I did read the so-called 'Epilogue' and I was cringing a little, cos it seemed very contrived. The whole name thing made me laugh really hard whilst attempting to go "OH NOES!"

If all those photos turn out to be fake, I offer my congratulations to the person who pulled off such a massive hoax. They must have been working on that for months if so, given that almost every set of two pages have different light and shadow and are taken at varying angles.

I actually only kept it so I could compare it when I get the book. The thing that threw me was the design of the pages - I assume those are from an American copy, since I've never seen that style of page in a HP book before.

That's what the American editions look like, all right. I dunno, I may feel like an ass in four days, but the whole thing seemed legit to me...

I really wish Rowling would have learned not to take her naming schemes from ff.net, though.
