| | |  HBP: NOT the Final Product
The Leaky Cauldron have exclusively revealed that the picture of a copy of ' Half-Blood Prince' which we saw yesterday, was in fact fake.
Sources say the book has not yet been printed therefore it is impossible for that image to have been photographed.
The picture in question can be seen here.

Oh well I suspected it would be real. Too early for the books to be out.

Well the edge of the book near the spine seemed a bit too shiny to be real. Nevertheless, I think the image is pretty close to how the real thing will look.

Yea, it didn't look too real to me. But it did get me thinking.

I had a feeling it wasn't the 'real deal', but it was very nice to get an approximation of what we will have in our hands come July... I don't think it was meant as deception either, just an advertisement.

I had a feeling. I just couldn't imagine them publishing it when the final edits were just done because they'd have to go back and re-publish everything. lol Although I'm sure it's going to be quite similar... I figure that the size of HBP would be around the size of putting SS and CoS together.

It was probably just some made up book cover covering another book probably OotP or something. Though the picture looks a little CG(computer generated) who knows.
