| | |  What the HBP injunction means
It was previously reported that J.K.Rowling was granted an injunction preventing anyone from publishing any of the contents of ' Half-Blood Prince'.
The injunction document can be read here - you need Adobe Reader to view it.
Technically, someone who has read the book cannot even say whether the novel has one line of dialogue in it.
It says the following in regards to fansites: Quote:
Nothing in the order bars people who haven't seen the contents of the book from speculating on what's going to happen in the plot or with the characters, or who new characters may be. It also doesn't bar discussion of material released by JKR or Bloomsbury, including the three chapter titles she released and which have been reposted in many places.
The recommendation from "the powers that be" to any forum, discussion board or mailing list is that any material which purports to be a new extract from the book or that discloses its contents, should be immediately removed as potentially infringing copyright and/or constituting a breach of confidence, and that if a moderator has prior notice of such a posting, he or she should not allow it to be posted, and may consider moderating all posts by the potential poster to ensure that no forebidden HBP material finds its way online.
The rest of the summary can be read here.

What that means is legally and technically, someone who has the read book cannot even say the novel has one line of writing.

What do you mean?  What it means that someone who's read the book cannot even say whether it contains any writing or not. I don't see how you don't understand that.

If you haven't read it you can say "HBP is a book with words on paper in it and it's about Harry Potter and Voldemort and dumbledore and someone's supposed to die and I think it will be (Fill in the Blank) and Harry's supposed to have a new love interest and I think it will be (Fill in the Blank) and Snape will once again be wrongly accused of doing something bad but we'll find out at the last minute that it wasn't him."

I think that Snape won't have much part in it. Harry needs to take advanced potions to become an Auror, but Aurors need training after Hogwarts.If J. K. Rowling wanted to tell us the whole story, she would write more books after Hogwarts.

Exactly, that's what's so funny/stupid. It's a technicality. But if you've read it, you know the contents therefore you cannot say ANYTHING about it, not even that it's got words.

LOL, that's nice. Pre-Reading the book:
Fan: So, was it good?
Reader: No comment.
Fan: Why not? Was it that bad?
Reader: No comment.
Fan: Did you even read it?
Reader: No Comment.
Fan: What do you mean? Was it blank?
Reader: No comment.
*Fan procedes to punch reader and stomp off muttering.*
