A fake version of the latest Harry Potter novel, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, has appeared on the internet.
An anonymous author wrote a 250,000-word version of the seventh book in the series and put it up online.
Book publishers Bloomsbury have insisted that the version is bogus.
According to The Sun, only three other people other than J K Rowling have read the book - all of which are publishing bosses.
A spokeswoman for the company said: "We are aware of the internet version but it is not the real thing. People will have to wait until 21 July."

Well there's a bit more on it here http://www.business-standard.com/com...o=281995&tab=r
It's probably just some fanfic as opposed to trying to be the "real thing."

Jo Rowling has updated her website with her plans for the release of Book 7. According to Bloomsbury:
To celebrate the publication of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows on 21st July 2007, J.K. Rowling will be signing the night away at the Natural History Museum in London.
Ten years after publication of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, the launch of this, the final book in the series, returns to where it all began: with a book, the author and her readers.
1,700 fans will have the opportunity to meet J.K. Rowling and have their book signed at the Natural History Museum. The first 500 randomly selected winners will attend the midnight reading with J.K. Rowling. The subsequent signing is expected to last until dawn. Every ticket holder will receive a free book from Bloomsbury Publishing.
Tickets to the event are free and will be available by online draw from 23rd May. The deadline for applicants is 11th June. To apply for tickets visit Bloomsbury's website.
US residents can apply at scholastic.com. Other English-speaking publishers may also be allotted tickets; keep an eye on their websites. (for the US).
Jo says, "It has been a long time since I've done a signing and had the chance to speak to readers individually, so I'm delighted that we are launching the book in this way. It will be wonderful for me to get the chance to speak to people who have already read a few chapters while in the queue!
"Good luck if you're applying for tickets, and if you're successful, I'll see you shortly after midnight on July 21st!"
UPDATE: Good news! Raincoast is now offering one Canadian fan a chance to also participate in this event! Thanks to Shoshana for the tip.

Swedish Deathly Hallows translation may give clues
Tilden, the Swedish Potter publisher, has revealed on their official website that JK Rowling has provided an alternative DH title to foreign countries: Harry Potter and the Relics of Death. The second title was released by Jo and Bloomsbury because the phrase "Deathly Hallows" is hard to translate without being able to read the novel.
Relics of Death can easily translate to dödsrelikerna, and now many are speculating over exactly what these relics are. Thanks to everyone who e-mailed with this information!
