Author J.K. Rowling became an international literary sensation when the first three installments of her Harry Potter children's book series took over the top three slots of The New York Times best-seller list.
Wie die "Daily Record" nun berichtete, wurden letztes Jahr fast 37.000 Bücher aus schottischen Bibliotheken gestohlen - und die Harry-Potter-Saga steht ganz oben auf der Liste.
"Salon reports that Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows has been leaked four days before it hits bookstores. It turns out that someone with access to the American edition of the book has taken a photograph of every one of the pages and made them available via bittorrent. Publishers may well be quaking in their boots, but in some places the quality is barely legible.
