The release was scheduled for July 21 - just as the clock ticked past midnight. However, the new adventures of Harry Potter seem have found their way onto the internet:

“The secret is out. Pictures of very single page of JK Rowling’s latest book, “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows,” appear to be available on BitTorrent days before the book goes on sale. According to the Web site TorrentFreak.com (which is down right now) the book is available as two files from BitTorrent.”

Even with all the security directed toward the release of this final Potter book, it seems that the online hackers and pirates have worked their own ‘magic’.
