read the 7'th book

damn do i s__k at links, that doesn't happen on myspace >< hahaa opps sorry guys ><

Thanks, Aiedail. But I was hoping to read it.

What I found on Limewire was
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Leaked Manuscript
Harry Potter & the Deathly Hallows (Leaked Manuscript)

Both show just one page, repeated over and over.
Starting with
“1. The Escape -- Harry slunk warily along the footpath, his head slightly bowed, eye’s darting up and down the street, glancing every now and then left and right…”
and ending with
“Harry took a deep breath and turned back to Kingsley. Somehow this news had given him the push he needed. He now held such resolve that he was right in his plans, that he could look Shacklebolt directly in the eyes.”

What am I doing wrong?

WHats in the middle?

Do you think this is legitimate or just a prank?

Of course it's just a prank. But I still want to read it.
The one page that I found doesn't say much.

HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS

1. The Escape

Harry slunk warily along the footpath, his head slightly bowed, eye’s darting up and down the street, glancing every now and then left and right. His right hand hovered over the pocket in his worn out faded jeans where his wand lay hidden, but within easy grasp. His fist was unconsciously clenching and unclenching. Most people would have found the misty cool night air soothing, pleasant, but Harry was on edge.

As he rounded the corner of Privet Drive, he stopped. His head turned to survey the street before him. There was nothing out of the ordinary, but he knew someone was there, somewhere, lurking in the darkest corners, or hidden by magic. He could feel their presence as sure as he knew he was standing there himself. He waited for someone to show. He never knew who it would be, but he could predict their appearance down to the last second. He stood for a moment, almost overwhelmed by his impatience. It had been the same every night ever since he had been at his Aunt and Uncles. And tonight, as before, a figure gradually emerged from the nothingness.

Harry was able to make out the features as it made it's way towards him. It was Kingsley Shacklebolt. After
scanning the area as soon as he had seen Harry, Kingsley had removed his invisibility cloak and given Harry
a quick nod in greeting. When they were within a few feet of each other, Harry spoke.


‘What’s happening? Who’s here with you?’ His voice was calm, but his look was determined. ‘Goldstein is at the other end of the street’ Kingsley said in his deep voice ‘But he’ll be replaced by Tonks at midnight. I’m on until dawn.’ Even as he spoke, he never stopped surveying the area. ‘Nothing to report?’

This is how the quick exchanges between Harry and his guard had gone every night. ‘No, nothing.’ Harry’s eye’s barely met Kingsley’s as he looked down at his shuffling feet. ‘So … when am I getting out of here?’

‘Nothing yet I’m afraid.’ Kingsley was used to Harry’s impatience, he had stood guard five out of the eight nights since Harry had returned to Privet Drive. ‘Give it a bit of time,’ he said ‘things are not as … easy … as they were. It’s going to take a fair bit of organizing. As it is Podmore has to leave early …’ he brushed his hand over his bald head ‘so I’m going to be hear alone for about half an hour.’

Harry looked up suddenly, and then looked back at the ground just as quickly, his eyes seeming to be searching for something. This was it! He thought. This was what he’d been waiting for. It was only a short amount of time, he would have to cut it close, but he knew he could do it. With one guard gone, he could slip through.

‘Is there any other news?’ Harry always dreaded asking this, but he had to know. If he was going to go through with his plan, he had to learn everything he could about what The Order knew. There was silence as Harry waited, eyes still lingering on the ground. He was sure if Kingsley caught his eye, he would see the guilt Harry tried so hard to conceal. Kingsley cleared his throat. ‘Some of the usual stuff.’ he said, though he seemed hesitant. ‘A few more missing people … they found Fudge’s body late last night.’

Harry looked away in disgust. Fudge hadn’t been his favourite person in the world. When Harry had returned from the graveyard, clutching Cedric Diggory’s dead body during the Triwizard Tournament over two years ago, Fudge had refused to believe that Voldemort had taken form again. And in the year following, he had gone to great lengths to discredit Harry in every way possible, squashing most of Dumbledore’s efforts to get people to believe in Harry and to prepare for Lord Voldemort’s return. But for all Fudge’s faults, he did not deserve the hand that fate had dealt him.

Harry took a deep breath and turned back to Kingsley. Somehow this news had given him the push he needed. He now held such resolve that he was right in his plans, that he could look Shacklebolt directly in the eyes.

That's it. That's all, folks.

if you go to Wikipedia it gives the whole outline of book 7 and who lives and who dies and how they die. It reveals who and what the horuxes are and a future epilogue of what happens to everyone who lives. Which leads me to believe that JKR could write a book about their lives after hogwarts.

Voldemort didn't know that he had accidentally put part of his soul in Harry. This is the connection that allows Harry to "see" what V sees, feel what he feels, etc. When Harry "died", well--his choice and the help of Mrs. Malfoy....as a mother I could understand. I think JKR did an outstanding job of showing that not all evil is pure evil, etc. I was proud of Harry / Ron / Hermione for helping Draco. He may not have deserved it, but to do less would have made them no better than the Death Eaters.

AHacker

Without voldemort, what conflict would be worth writing another book? There would have to be another entirely new villain as the Deatheaters minus voldermort are nothing really to fear....not against the combined strength of DA, OP, and an improved MM for goodness sake! I want to know about the school. Who becomes / became the new headmaster? What did Harry do to earn a living for himself and his family? sure, I can see Neville as a great teacher himself understanding the difficulties many young people face--but Harry was a great teacher too (look at the DA) Did he have to give that up? Was being an auror still necessary with the power of Voldemort gone? What do you all think? AHacker

With the exception of a line that made me cry, the epilogue was a dissappointment.

To be honest, the book was a dissappointment, but I'll get to that in more depth later.

This is not the one I read either! Was there anymore to this story??

oops, I didn't read far enough down! Sorry!
