Either it is one of the best marketing campaign or a big dent on the purported USD 20 million security that has been spent by Bloomsbury:- the latest Harry Potter book, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows has been leaked to the Internet four days before it is supposed to go on sale on the 21st July 2007.
Someone has photographed (yes, photographed) all of the pages of the book and has posted ALL of them, not on the torrent networks, but on the World Wide Web! See here and here. Someone later downloaded all of them, divided them into chapters and started seeding them at PirateBay.org. That process took almost 3 hours but the effort produced a PDF file that contained all of the scanned images in the correct order and sequence.
The purported leak has also revealed the table of contents as shown below:-
