Well, Boys and Girls, Harry Potter 7 is here. I know I'm pumped. Not. Of course you all know the big story in the nerd world this week was the leaking of the book onto teh intarnetz via BitTorrent. The hoopla surrounding this thing is absurd. There were actually people writing fake books, in some cases hundreds of pages long, and distributing them in place of the real thing. Almost equally disturbing, the proper bootleg copy was actually a set of JPEG photos taken via digital camera of each and every page of the book. Unholy Satan! Someone needs to get a job. You can have one of mine. I don't like them.

For those of you who don't already know, Harry dies. Hermione marries Malfoy. Ron is the last Horcrux and Snape is really Dumbledore in disguise.

Warning: there were spoilers in that last part. If you don't want to read them, skip it.

Next week the San Diego ComicCon is coming up. Interestingly, most of the comic related movies that were scheduled to be screened at the convention were pulled by Fox studios earlier this week. They apparently claimed the films weren't finished yet and refused to say anything further. It's fishy as hell and no one can even speculate about their real reasoning at the moment. One way or another, if you got tickets to ComiCon so you could see Aliens vs. Predator or Hitman early, you got screwed.

Also, for those of you who saw that bizarre, nameless movie preview before transformers (I mentioned it in this column a few weeks ago). Producer J.J. Abrams will be revealing the title of the film and possibly some more information at the ComiCon.

Until next week, I'll be crossing my fingers that great Cthulhu awakens from his death sleep to swallow the whole of civilization into his giant gaping maw.

Thank the gods my gf doesn't read our site.

It was bad enough when the joke on Conan was Harry dies.
 
Oh wow... you may have made the 50 unique visitors to the front page all decide not to show up by that plot revelation.
 
My sister was really excited about getting the book in the post today. It didn't come. And a couple of supermarkets were selling it for £5 today.

She went to see the new film instead.
 
A girl in Singapore downloaded a fake online in which Harry, Ron, and Hermoine (or however the hell you spell it) die. She promptly killed herself after she finished reading.

@Grim Fandango:

Fake story is fake. Funny though.
 
Yeah I figured as much. I want to say "too bad" but then someone would be dead, but whatever it would be funnier if it was real
