  Romy sent us an alleged soft copy (in RTF) of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix early this week.
I say "alleged" because I don't have a way of knowing if it was the real deal since I haven't opened a single copy of the latest HP installment and I am still waiting for the copy that Paddy has sent me. I tried to check out if it might be a real HP5 by copying and pasting the first line on Google and I got results that matched the teaser paragraphs leaked by the publishers early this year.
It does look like the real thing. So while I still have to receive the pre-ordered copy, I'll read the thing I've got. If this is a true soft copy leak, what's really bothering me is the speed with which the fifth book was pirated. Just three days after the release, a copy of the book in Word format reached my Inbox (and those of others).
