Just as first Harry Potter books leak on the Web, spoilers are a bit hard to avoid for Harry Potter hardcore fans.

Photos of what appeared to be every page of “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows,” the heavily-hyped seventh and final novel of the J.K. Rowling series, were circulating on the Web today.

Many suspect these spoilers are actually fake and a part of a marketing plan, and it's unlikely they would affect the carefully designed book’s debut on Saturday at 12:01 a.m.

But one thing is certain: Even a flurry of potential leaks won’t dampen the enthusiasm of Potter devotees.

Some fans plan to even go total media black-out to avoid any leaks. One diligent reader even asked for the day off from her job at a clothing store, so she won’t overhear anyone talking about the book.

“I want to find out for myself,” she said, referring to details like who lives and who dies in the final Potter novel, AP said.

Kyle Good, a spokeswoman for Scholastic, the book’s American publisher, said she was aware of at least three different versions of the file “that look very convincing” with what she described as “conflicting content.”

Scholastic has been busy ordering would-be spoilers to remove their information from the Web.

Good said that “anyone can post anything on the Web and you can’t believe everything you see online.”

And this is just the pre-release controversy. Once “Deathly Hallows” is officially available, it will be hard to avoid the scoop on the ending unless you forego everything from television to conversations at work.

And for some spoilers would actually be useful. Child psychologists recommend parents to read the new Harry Potter book quickly so that they would be prepared for awkward questions, tears and grief over the death of two major characters.
