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?

Vik says
If the web is to be believed for the spoilers, then the odds are infinitely high that Hermione gets it on with Snape. Maybe that was the slippery slope that led to Harry poking the eyes out of horses.
danza says
Hermione dies.
Hagrid dies.
Ther. Theres no need to buy the book
amycakes says
Well we don’t need to buy a book, but you do. It’s called a ‘DICTIONARY’. You can find it at the library or buy it from a bookshop. It’s ‘THERE’ not ‘Ther.’ It takes a big bite out of your half done sarcasm, now doesn’t it? I don’t mean to be patronizing…(that means ‘talking down to’, okay.)
DazzaP says
amycakes clearly does not understand what sarcasm means. Muppet
rose says

AJ210 says
danza, you did use bad (although possibly typo-ed) language, but, well you weren’t right anyway. hagrid and hermione? pfft.
Rhyse says
You’re all stupid.
“… I don’t mean to be patronizing…(that means ‘talking down to’, okay.)”
I believe there should be a question mark after “okay”
Am I right?
The title did state there would be spoilers.
So before you get your knickers in a bunch over a typo, check your own grammar first.
>_>
dont worry bout it says
yo u ppl r so annoyin some ppl prefer fiction why are you guys so annoyed with people that actually like to read
amycakes says
danza….wow your ‘twin’ dazzaP really sticks up for you…too bad you MISSPELLED again….it’s ‘moppet’, not ‘muppet’ my poppet..twat..
JoelB says
In defence of DazzaP, he/she might actually mean that you, amycakes, are like a small hand-operated cartoonish puppet designed by Jim Henderson.
But probably not.
As an aside, feel free to call me poppet too!
JoelB says
Actually, as a Scottish workmate used to say “I’m not free, but I’m cheap” so…
pls call me poppet!
fluffy bear cub x says
God, “danza” you didn’t need to be so annoying… Obviously neither Hermione or Hagrid dies… And I haven’t even read the book! I think that Lupin dies, and Voldemort and maybe someone boring like Luna and one of the teachers.
Okay, it was THAT easy to make a nice prediction and I don’t really care about Harry Potter I just did that because I wanted to prove a point! annnyyyway.. Is the book worth buying? :D
caits says

spoilerhater. says
I’ve never understood why people enjoy spoilers, seems to me that they ruin the magic of the book (pardon my pun there). The Harry Potter books are by far the best book series I have ever read, if whilst reading them someone had tried to reveal any spoilers to me (particularly in the last few books where my sly guesses were beginning to fail me), I would have had no choice but to throttle said person – whether the revelations were true or not.
In any case, I find it strange that so many of you seemingly managed to read the books but have not even spell main characters names right, not to mention your poor grammar and other spelling (J.K. would be so disappointed). (If you are under the age of 10 I may forgive your spelling and grammar, however the Zac Efron lover sickens me)
and @duh Neville is NOT the headmaster of Hogwarts, he is however the Herbology professor. You may also be interested to learn that he was an Auror for a time shortly after the Battle of Hogwarts before becoming a professor. He also married Hannah Abbott of Hufflepuff who became landlady at The Leaky Cauldron (replacing the hunchbacked Tom) and they lived together above the pub.
