Fact #1: I love Harry Potter.
Fact #2: Until July 2007, J. K. Freakin' Rowling claimed that the last word of Deathly Hallows was "scar."
Fact #3: (I consider information from Wikipedia as fact here.) Wiki, the omniscient god of everything, says, "During a July 2007 interview broadcast on the BBC One's Friday Night with Jonathan Ross, Rowling announced that 'scar' was no longer the last word in the book. Although long reported and confirmed by Rowling to be the final word of book 7, Rowling went on record as saying that 'Scar is quite near the end, but it's not the last word.' She refused to say what the last word was."
Fact #4: I only discovered aforementioned fact about an hour ago.
Fact #5: I have been recently exposed to knowledge of an epilogue that ends in a particularly crappy way. While "scar" is not the last word, it's near the end. I thought it was a pile of fake crap because the last word wasn't "scar," so I scoffed at it (being the loving snob that I am). Now that I found that she has tricked us, I'm SCARED. What if the book sucks?!
If the main leaked copy is real, I'm going to be so disappointed. (Not because it's potentially bad, but because that's a huge security breach. Shame on you, Scholastic.) If it's fake, someone please give me a copy so I can read it after I've read the real book. That'll be an interesting read. Unfortunately, I've got a sinking feeling that it's the real thing. VERY DISTRESSING.
P.S. I haven't written in this thing in ages. LiveJournal, you're nearing your FIFTH birthday. Love, love, love.
