Hi all,
Last week, I had blogged about a leaked Harry Potter Book 7. Though I had my doubts about its validity, I never had enough proof.
Just the last day, one of Blogging India readers brought it to my attention that the book which was supposed to be the leaked version of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows was in fact just another fan fiction from a site called PhoenixSong.
Brian Taylor, the reader who reported the error (Thanks Brian!), said that the story was from a fan fiction site, PhoenixSong, and upon investigation, I found that what he said was correct.
The story, titled The Seventh Horcrux, was written by Melindaleo, and posted at PhoenixSong.net. It was last updated(i.e. completed) on February 25th,2006 - almost a year before this forward started circulating the net. So its clear that this forward was yet another hoax 
I apologise to all who might have believed the entire issue.
But as a treat for all Harry Potter fans, here’s a great website to check out! www.book7.co.uk boasts of many hints and pointers to what JKR might be up to with the 7th book… An excellent Harry Potter conspiracy website…
Toodles for now
