Harry Potter - dead or alive
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Do you want to know if Harry lives or dies? Hey, it’s easy to find out. Leaked copies of the book have been appearing on the Web for a while. You can read about all the leaked versions in the story linked here.
My guess is that some of the leaked endings are correct. But since you’ll find Harry dead in some places and alive in others you’ll need to wait for the book to be sure.
But all this fuss does underline a couple of things: The ownership of information has been changed forever by the free-wheeling Internet, and it’s clear that you can find any answer you need on the Net as long as you don’t care if it’s right or wrong.
I’ve avoided linking to any of the many blogs and sites with these spoiler endings. For those who want to check things out, a simple Google search like this:
“harry potter”
will take you to screenfuls of blogs and Web sites that breathlessly reveal the ending - or competing endings.
Me? Hey my money is on Harry. He’s a durable magician and I think he’ll escape with his life. Don’t worry - it’s just a guess, I haven’t had an e-mail from JK Rowling in ages.
