Warning: this article may contain Harry Potter spoilers about how Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows ends - or, then again, it might not contain any Harry Potter spoilers at all, since there are about a billion different ones knocking about.

Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows hype is quite possibly at its most hypiest level of hype at the moment, with millions upon millions of Harry Potter fans wanting to know exactly how the saga of their favourite fictional character ends. Part of this hype, we'd argue, is down to the early online leak of a copy of Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows which has kicked off something of a war over Harry Potter spoilers, between those who love the boy wizard so much that they want to discover Harry Potter's fate for themselves and those who can't see why everyone's getting their knickers in a twist about a bloody kid's book. Anyway, the good news is that we've seen a copy of the leaked Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows, so we know just about all of the Harry Potter spoilers going.

The bad news is that we're not going to tell you.

With less than two days to go until Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows, the final Harry Potter book, is published, hype for all things Harry Potter-related are at a crescendo. The Harry Potter movie is number one at the box office, the preorders for the new Harry Potter book are at an all-time high and gangs of children are roaming the world naked and stabbing horses in the eye as some sort of desperately ill-judged Harry Potter tribute. Between discussions about JK Rowling's emotional state and forensic deconstructions of the Harry Potter artwork, the only thing nobody knows about Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows is what actually happens in it.

Except we do.

Harry Potter spoilers have been coming thick and fast since it was revealed that Dumbledore dies in Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince, but - despite JK Rowling's pleas - the sheer number of Harry Potter spoilers surrounding Deathly Hallows has been jaw-dropping. First people said that Harry Potter would die, and then they decided that Hermione would die - but the apparent early online Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows leak this week effectively put an end to the speculation. And, if that wasn't enough, the Washington Post is reporting that a bunch of Americans accidentally got sent their copy of Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows early:

Forget Voldemort. Yesterday Harry Potter fans fearful of spoilers went offline, underground and incommunicado as book publisher Scholastic confirmed that about 1,200 copies of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" erroneously had been mailed early to readers. Scholastic cited a breach in the on-sale agreement by the distributor, Levy Home Entertainment, and DeepDiscount.com, a customer of the distributor. The publishing company is planning to take legal action, it said in a statement yesterday. The books represented one one-hundredth of 1 percent of the total U.S. copies scheduled to go on sale Saturday.

Which is all well and good, but what are the Harry Potter spoilers anyway? Well, we've seen the ending to Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows, but we're not going to repeat it to you for a couple of reasons: 1) the Harry Potter spoilers industry is getting so out of hand that we assume there'll be flocks of people hanging around the new Harry Potter theme-park when it opens screaming spoilers like "The ride goes upside down!" to people queueing up, and 2) we've never read any of the other Harry Potter books, so the ending of Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows may as well have been written in effing Dutch.

But we will say this - look through the comments left on some of our recent Harry Potter posts and you'll find all the correct Harry Potter spoilers you'll ever need.

And what exactly is a Horcrux, anyway?
