From Sky News

Thousands of Harry Potter fans are scouring the web amid reports that the epilogue of the book has been leaked online, revealing which characters have been killed off.

The news comes ahead of the official release of JK Rowling's final Potter book, Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows.

Photos online purport to show a seven-page epilogue of the book - and, if genuine, they give away many closely guarded secrets.

Speculation is at record levels after Rowling revealed last June that two characters would die in her final book.

Publishing house Bloomsbury has spent a small fortune trying to protect the book's secrets, after having many problems in the past.

In 2003, a printing plant worker was given 180 hours of community service after offering to sell three chapters of Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix to a tabloid.

Two years later a handful of copies of Harry Potter And The Half Blood Prince were sold early in Canada.

Security is at record levels for the final book, with some sources reporting the use of hi-tech alarms and satellite tracking systems.

But what seems clear is that the latest leak has not damaged the book's popularity.

More than two million people have already pre-ordered copies from online retailer Amazon, and Deathly Hallows looks set to break all previous sales records.

Bloomsbury has not confirmed the leak. A spokesperson said: "There is a lot of fan fiction and a lot of dreamers on the internet, and people are very clever about what they put together."

The only thing that remains clear is that while the internet is awash with spoilers and predictions, fans will have to wait until Saturday to discover the truth.

J K Rowling or J R Hartley?

I heard about it, someone told me that Harry and Hermione dye, but i think they was only guessing...i can't wait for the new book. I am re-reading the half blood prince so when the new one comes out i can buy it and follow the story.

Warning: this article might contains spoilers about the end of the final Harry Potter book, or possibly a lot of made-up crap - don't read it if you think it'll ruin the story; but if your life doesn't revolve around an effing kid's book, go right ahead.

With the release of Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows just one month away, speculation has never been higher amongst children and slightly creepy adults about how the book ends. Does Harry Potter die? Does Voldemort kill Harry Potter? Does Harry Potter start taking his clothes off and stabbing horses in the eyes again? Well maybe now we know - a hacker claims to have stolen an entire transcript of Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows from publishers Bloomsbury out of outrage at all the paganism that Harry Potter dabbles in. And how does Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows end? Let's just say that Hermione probably shouldn't bother making any long-term plans.

Ever since JK Rowling began work on Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows, literally the most important question in the whole universe was 'Will Harry Potter die?' Some said that Harry Potter would die, others begged JK Rowling not to kill Harry Potter and most of us didn't actually care because it's just a children's book and nobody ever made this much fuss over whether Mr Tickle bought it at the end of his book.

However, JK Rowling did say that two main characters would die by the end of Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows, although she wouldn't be drawn on which ones. But now we know. Sort of. Well, OK, we've got information from an anonymous source claiming to have hacked a transcript of the last Harry Potter book from a Bloomsbury computer, so it's just as likely that it was written by a non-hacker in a room full of cats on a rare break from blogging about what they had for their tea.

Even though JK Rowling asked everyone not to spoil the Harry Potter ending, the request has apparently gone ignored by a hacker named Gabriel because he claims the Pope told him to. To ruin the impact of what he calls a 'Neo Paganist' book, Gabriel revealed the following. Really, don't read this next bit if you don't potentially want the ending of the final Harry Potter book ruined, although we'll clearly think less of you if you do care that much about that sort of thing. Anyway, on this website Gabriel writes:

Dear my brothers,

Voldemort killed Hermione. Yes, that's true. And we knew that 2 days ago.

This is the end of the not yet published (someone could call that 0day) book

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows .

At the end of the story Hagrid was killed by Snape in the attempt of ambush Hermione and Ron.
Ron and Hermione flees in privet drive but Voldermort, surprising them, engaged a magical duel with Ron and Hermione.

Voldemort attacked trough the imperius curse and Hermione, to protect the life of Ron fight hardly for more than 6 pages and then finally die.
(boring, very boring… it's always the same story!)

Then, to make a long story short, Harry came up, killed all the bad guys and Hogwarts against became a good place to stay and have fun.

Ah, i missed one important information about Draco Malfoy, he started to create Horcrux (for fun and profit!).
The end.

So it's Hermione that bites it. At least that explains why Emma Watson wanted to leave Harry Potter a few weeks ago. And Harry Potter lives. Hooray - that'll come in handy in case none of JK Rowling's next books sell and she's forced to making a Harry Potter: Ten Years Later series. But, obviously, we shouldn't go round believing any old nonsense we find laying around on the internet. And according to Reuters, the Harry Potter publishers are already casting their aspersions about the hacker's veracity:

A Bloomsbury spokesman declined comment on the hacker's claims. Kyle Good, a spokesman for U.S. distributor Scholastic Corp., would not say whether the posting was accurate, but did warn readers to be skeptical about anything on the Web that claims to have inside information on the book's plot. "There is a whole lot of junk flying around," she said. "Consider this one more theory."

Personally we think that this supposed hacked ending to Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows is a lot of bollocks. As it happens, we too have managed to score a copy of the final Harry Potter manuscript, so we know that the book ends with Harry Potter, Ron and Hagrid all eating onion rings in a diner while an over-sincere 1980s power ballad plays in the background. As Hermione attempts to parallel park outside, a man walks into the bathroom and then suddenly everything goes black.

Oh come on, if it's good enough for Hillary Clinton
