Pirates will vouch for me when I say that The Pirate Bay, one of the world's largest torrent search engines, can help you find movies, games, and all sorts of programs that would otherwise cost money, at the drawback of being illegal. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows has officially been added to the list of things that can be pirated. Pirates have photographed all pages of the novel, compiled them into one tidy PDF file, and hosted them among various computers that support the Bit-torrent client.

I WILL NOT!

Although I will admit to.. ahem, talking to someone that has viewed this "leak".

My book will be here monday, regardless.

You just spoiled it for all those people waiting for their torrents to complete!:cry:
Actually, I have no idea if you did or not. I've never read a Harry Potter book.

I hate books, all of them. I can't stand reading, and it's been so long since I read a whole book, or even opened one.

Am I the only one that doesnt find HP appealing? Ive never read the books (which may be very good) but I just cant stand that little twat that plays HP in the movies, I just want to punch him in his smug face whenever I see it, so I dont watch the movies either lol

I used to read them, back when they first came out. But the last time I read a book was 5 years ago. And I actually opened one last year!

When I last remember, they were pretty good books...
