Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Leaked
 
Not going to say how to get it, obviously pretty easy. Sounds legit hopefully not some big scam! [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

The best surprise of the year will be if Tim "Eater X" Janus was wrong during the Nathan's contest. I was so pissed about that.

Rofl, well I found it but it is some jackass taking pictures from like 5 feet away. That's just lovely. Someone want to PM me to a pdf or non-retard jpg version of it?

Isn't that from "the wicker man"? (1973 or 2006 version)

it seems pretty real. i just got it. It's awful though because it's just pictures of all the pages.

Should I post a picture? Is that allowed?

plz don't post it guys, aside from spoilers there are prob some copyright issues

I don't see any harm in posting this pic just to demonstrate how authentic it looks. If the mods disagree, they can remove it. I agree it sucks trying to read this.

it's hard to read though. I will def just wait and buy it.

Re: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Leaked
 
So someone stole/bought it and took a picture of each page and then uploaded that?

LOL

Yes, wtf good is that. Why don't people who do this have a scanner that outputs text. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] I just read the 6th book this way and it was incredibly bearable. Might have to pick up the 7th when I get to the UK if nothing good becomes available in the next 12 or so hours.

The first few pages seemed ok, but then it's all underexposed. Blargh.

Because it's a lot faster to take pictures most likely, unless you have some really fancy (expensive) scanner that is specifically made for books.

Yeah a lot of OCR is pretty much teh suck.

I guess, my scanner will scan a page and output text in PDF form. I thought this was pretty standard.

you don't need to scan this OCR to do a better job then this though, just regular scan as an image would suffice

I Downloaded it as well, it seems legit enough since I mean what did they find like 10 copies of the last one in a field somwhere? anyway the reason that it may not be is where is a picture of the cover

Wtf dude. Have you ever seen a book? Can you ballpark the ways in which it might be harder to scan an entire book into text than it would be to scan an individual sheet of paper?

Yeah, but even if you didn't want to ruin the binding, there are plenty of scanners that are quicker to use than digital cameras. I've had to scan in books before and it would probably take <45 minutes for this book.

I think it's fair to say that the average scanner would take longer than 45 minutes to scan a 600 page book, while the time it would take with a camera will be pretty much the same across models.

It's also a possibility that this guy just had access to the book for a limited time and this was the best way to get a copy out. From what I've heard they are under pretty tight security and maybe no one would miss one book for a few hours rather than a stolen book.

yeah my guess, if this is legit, and i don't know if it is, some guy smuggled a digital camera into the warehouse and was ducked behind some crates or something.

Re: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Leaked
 
We will see soon if that shiat is fake. Looks pretty damn real to me.

I only bet money on Potter to live and Snape or whatever his name is to die on Bodog. Those lines all went apeshiat before they were pulled.

Again if this is a hoax then NH sir to the person who did it.

Re: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Leaked
 
Yeah, it has been confirmed to be a fake based on page numbers and writing styles. Im kind of glad, I wanted to read it, not know everything that happened.

How the hell did someone make a fake that long and that elaborate?
