| | |  Fake Deathly Hallows translation being commercialized
A pirated translation of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is being commercialized in Venezuela. If that's not shocking enough, it looks almost identical to the real editions of the novel. The artwork is in fact the exact picture that you can find on the U.S. covers and chapter titles. The only real difference is the font of the letters below the Harry Potter title. The booksellers are describing it as an "almost official translation", and say that "It's almost equal to the edition published by Editorial Salamandra." This, however, is not stopping them from selling it or Venezuela residents from buying; it is currently priced at 65.000 Bolívares (USD $30).
There is currently no word from translator Salamandra on this piracy.
You can see a picture of the novel below and others here in our gallery.

Cause Hogwarts is bigger than any of us, of any of it's founders,

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

Pirated books are horrible, especially when it's Harry Potter...and when it looks so real. I don't like Venezuela.  | |

"Digan no a la pirateria" = Say no to piracy.
If they have the official translated version available, I don't understand why they would bother making pirated copies or why people would bother buying them?
And I can't make out that second word, and the what of death?
Bad, bad pirates.

Bad, bad pirates. The second word's meant to be "reliquias," meaning relics. So the full title would be Harry Potter and the Relics of Death.
