| | |  Fake DH released legally in Persia
Mehr News recently reported that a fake translation of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is now legally being sold. What's up with that, right? Well, the Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance’s book and book reading office is allowing the Neyestan-e Jam Publications to print the internet version, which is 560 pages.
The head of the office, Majid Hamidzadeh, had a lot to say about it. His views were that the ministry hadn't seen any problems in the content of the book, so therefore they could let it be published. He was quoted saying: Quote:
“The book bears the label ‘internet version’ on its cover, and we are not concerned whether or not its contents are fake.”

Maybe we'll see our kids come here one day.
That's the thing about Hogwarts.

That's odd. I'd be really disappointed if the book wasn't the real version and I had to settle for just that. | |

Oh, yeah about that. I thought, "Hey what's wrong with that," but then I realized that the author isn't getting any royalties ...

Yeah what is up with that? It's really disapointing to hear, some people are seriously strange!! I would never read a fake copy or anything other then an original it's stupid that it's allowed to be published, i'd be so angry if i was Jo! I feel really sorry for her these kind of things always happen with the popularity of the books.
