Harry Potter Book

Leaks, lawsuits, profiteering and legal action are going on in the days before the book release. Is this any way to treat such a fine young man like Harry Potter? Despite pleas for silence from author J.K. Rolling and some leading Potter fan sites, publishing's secret of all secrets, whether the wizard lives or dies, is in danger of becoming plain gossip as publication approaches for "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows." Alleged images of Rowling's seventh and final Potter book have already been circulating online days before the official Saturday release. More than 100 actual books may already have been received by customers. As of July 29, the $34.99 release was being offered on eBay for immediate purchase for $250.
