Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows has finally made it to bookshelves.
Security on the last of the Harry Potter book series, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, was so tight that book publisher Scholastic took extraordinary measure of forcing all those handling the book before its release date in the wee hours Saturday to sign away their lives or face consequences of Voldemortian proportions.
In spite of security few day before book official release, few of the
websites posted photographs of pages from Harry potter and the deathly hallows. The photographed version book spread like wild fire and all one had to do was google or search torrents to get it. The publishers had hard time ordering the websites to remove the link.
While the publishers were screaming "unfair", I personally feel it just increased curiosity of muggles, and has helped the book sell more. I am pretty sure there are Harry's fan who must have downloaded and viewed the photograph collection to get a peek; but must have still gone out to buy the book. The last book in Harry potters series has already broken all the
previous records. At least the Harry's magic has worked for Jk Rowling.
