New 'Harry Potter' book leaked

[Xazinon]

The Canadian publisher of the Harry Potter series has filed a court injunction barring anyone from leaking the plot of the latest book after a store in Vancouver accidentally sold copies of Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince ahead of the release date.

I wonder how exactly you sell 15 copies of a book accidentally, I don't think it would be that easy to do! Maybe some cool-as-a-cucumber guy came up with a copy of, say, one of our own dear friend Lanen's books and as he went to pay just casually said 'oh, and I may as well get 15 of those Harry Potters while I'm here,' saying it so casually that the staff forgot that they weren't supposed to sell them yet!

Well, that's the best I've got, if anyone else has got any suggestions as to how they could do it feel free to post away! ;) :D

Apparently a 9-year-old in New York (http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20050713/od_uk_nm/oukoe_leisure_potter_leak;_ylt=As2LeutZWifIaHINPiE TPzntiBIF;_ylu=X3oDMTBiMW04NW9mBHNlYwMlJVRPUCUl) also got an early copy somehow; his family's returned the book and has been promised unspecified (in the article, at least) goodies by the publisher.

(Why yes, I do read a lot of news sites. However did you guess? :wink: )
