Last month, J.K. Rowling announced that she had just completed writing the newest book in the Harry Potter series. Monday, authorities closed down a site purporting to offer an electronic version of the book for $9.95. As Caroline Briggs reports in a BBC News wire story, the site claimed it had an e-text of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince “six months before the eagerly-awaited book is due to be published on 16 July.” One observer, Melissa Anelli, managing editor for a Potter fan site called “The Leaky Cauldron,” theorized that the site was “fishing for credit card numbers.”
