Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows will be out in July. Author J.K. Rowling has stated two characters will die. The security around Rowlings books is massive, especially after a fork lift operator stole pages of the fifth book in 2003 (Order of the Phoenix) and tried to sell them to a tabloid. Now a hacker claims to have posted the ending online.

The hacker, calling himself “Gabriel”, posted a message on a well-known hackers’ site in the early hours of Tuesday, claiming that he had discovered the ending to Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, which is published on July 21, on the computer of an employee of Bloomsbury, Rowling’s publishers.

In less than perfect English, he gives a detailed summary of the alleged ending and names two central characters who have appeared in the series since the beginning 10 years ago.

Gabriel boasts that he sent an email carrying a virus to the Bloomsbury employee and says: “The attack strategy was the easiest one. It’s amazing to see how much people inside the company have copies and drafts of this book.”

In a bizarre justification, the hacker claims to have been motivated by religion.

He writes: “We did it by following the precious words of the great Pope Benedict XVI when he still was Cardinal Josepth (sic) Ratzinger.

“He explained why Harry Potter bring the youngs (sic) of our earth to Neo Paganism faith.”
