Fake Harry Potter Seven Books
May 12th 2007 07:35
Did you know that a fan wrote an entire novel of Harry Potter and posted it online? Yup. An entire book seven. With the same number of pages Book 7 is supposed to have and the novel ending with "scar." Years ago, Rowling said that's the word the novel was going to end with. One must really applaued the patience of that guy.
Initially, many thought that the book was leaked to the internet. It had fooled that many people. How can we say it's not the original novel> WEll, here's the first paragraph:
Harry slowly raised his head and stared morosely at the familiar visage of number four, Privet Drive. What had already been a horrible day was rapidly getting worse. Not only did he have to appear unannounced on the Dursleys’ doorstep (something he knew they’d have no problem expressing their displeasure over), but he’d also have to tell them that two other freaks would be joining him this afternoon. The corner of Harry’s mouth twitched humorlessly as he envisioned how they’d take the news.
Freaks? Familiar visage? And where are the infamous adverbs? Does it read like it's written by J.K.Rowling? Not even close.
It also devotes more time to Harry-Ginny love saga. Sorry mate, to crush your romantic hopes. Book 7 is going to have very little lovey dovey stuff which Rowling crammed into book 6 because she won't have enough time in the last book from horcrux hunting, Snape and Voldemort killing. By the way, it also subscribes to the Harry is the last horcrux theory. We thought Dumbledore had already laid out what the horcruxes were in book 6. true, they were just suppositions but if Rolwing takes that angle and introduces different horcruxes that will make the book 6 even more redundant than it is now. That's why she cleverly did not let out the identity of one horcrux which I believe belongs to Ravenclaw.
AS if this 659 page tome was not enough, there appears to be another novel doing rounds which has little over 200 pages posted on the internet. Apparently, that's the real deal and they form the first few chapters of Book 7. I haven't hunted down that one yet but I'm sceptical.
Anyway, this novel suggest the depths we Harry potter fans will sink to and with the book 7 closing the saga completely, I am sure this is what many of us fans will be doing over the rest of our lives. Writing and reading fan fiction. Over and over again.
