No, the one written by fan is NOT original 5th. This "version" of HBP was only a fanfiction.
The 6th book didn't actually quite look like Rowling's style at some places... :S
For instance, nobody expected for ********* to die, and even being
killed by *****!!! And nobody expected for ********* to actually
sustain injuries! Injuries what would make *** weak... so strong ***
has always been!
(No doubts you will all already know who were the people I was talking
about, but i just did not want to spoil anything for anyone who do know
not)

I think you misunderstood. I said I have the 5th book bought from a store. I doubt it's fake as it is the only HP book 5 in bookstores here.

This book is truly beginning in left field.. Usually it starts with Potter or his aunt/uncle.. So far, nada.
Tis an interesting read thus far however, so the alternate route is not harming it any. " SRC="images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif">

No. If you remember well, The Goblet of Fire was also not started with
Harry or his relatives. It started with story about the Riddle family.

Seconded! I read at about 2 pages per minute for recreational reading. Slower for technical stuff like textbooks, and faster for easy reading. Some people I know can read a LOT faster then that. The trick is teaching yourself not to sound out the words in your mind, as that is the natural thing to do and it slows you down tremendously. I used to read at .5-1 pages per minute, and at the time I thought that it was the fastest speed that my mind could comprehend material. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that was not true. I think a lot of people underestimate their ability to read quickly, and that mental block stops them from reading faster.

$17.99 for a book? Your kidding, right? Usually books cost like ?4.99 ($8). $17.99 is a ripoff. And it is possible to read a book like that in 12 hours. Lep for instance is an insanely fast reader- he reads huge books in a day or 2, and thats in less than 12 hours.
I read the whole of Michael Critons (however you spell it) "Sphere" in about 7 hours in 1 sitting, thats about 500 pages, and I tend to read a book every 3 years or so 
Oh and I read out the words in my head, tell it more like an extended film.
I have to say the book was alot better than the film, but thats not to say the film wasn't good, I thought it was a great film.

Well, I am an old school reader and I read slowly by any standard.
If you can do so faster, here's your cookie. I read 3.5 chapters yesterday and enjoyed them just as much as anyone.

If the author of this thread doesn't mind to much, I would like to commandeer this thread for a discussion:
This is predominantly for the people who have not read book six yet but, if the discussed items travel speculatively into book 7 tis cool too.
Speculations on my part:
- Snape and Potter will come to terms and stop sniping each other.
- Hermione and Ron will pair up. Possibly marry.
- Dumbledore will likely sacrifice himself in a spell battle with Voldemort to save Harry from psychological damage. So far, Harry has never "killed"
Any other theories? Discuss-

His sarcasm is hardly destructive now isn't it. However his taking cheap shots at Harry by employing his teachers position is hardly professional. My comment however stems from his grades. He has always done poorly in Snapes classes. In fact he has yet to complete a potion successfully to my knowledge, yet.. (/me will not ruin it by commenting on the report card at this time)

Lol.. I can tell you two of your theories are unable to be fulfilled
Since for two very simple reasons. Read the book till the end and
you'll see what I mean 
(especially the chapter they are going after
a Horcrux).
Anyway, the second theory is quite possible. I think also that Ginny and Harry are going to pair up (not much a spoiler, but they two are snogging nearing the end
).
*Harry and Snape will have a final duel before his fight with You-know-who.
*Harry will finally learn to close his mind (Occlumens) so he can use Sectumsempra on Snape. Afterall... it is a non-verbal spell.
*Draco will come over to right side and perhaps fights Snape. (just a theory, this or the one before this). Afterall... Draco did not feel this was right, he couldn't fulfill his mission so Snape had to do it for him.
*Harry will pass his Apparition examination and becomes an Animagus.
*Tonks and Lupin are going to marry (aswell as Phlegm and Bill).
*Bill is going to heal completely and NOT become a werewolf.
*Harry will die WITH Voldemort. Neither of them will survive.
*Something awesome is going to happen when Harry and Voldemort fight and die together, which kills all the Death Eaters. Perhaps something like an Explosion, when Bad meets Good.
*Dumbledore will return as a ghost or as a painting and advises Harry.
*Harry will find a way to communicate with Sirius.
*Harry tells Voldemort what the Prophecy actually was all about.
*Harry inherits Dumbledore's Pensieve.
*When fighting Voldemort, Harry finds the Dumbledore from his heart which helps him beat Voldemort.
I know, it contained quite a few spoilers from book 6, but you'll live I've marked the worst one of them. I still do not accept that
character died! ** Couldn't have! No way! Nobody really expected that!

You posted at least one spoiler.. ( more i suppose )
You were asked to not do so.. BLACK them out before anyone else reads this.

Sorry, I thought [SPOILER] tags are going to black out automatically, like in hl2world :P my bad
hope it didn't spoil everything :P
Anyway, that was really the biggest spoiler, but I blacked it out now, so, nonetheless nothing more should be spoilers. They are actually only theories.

I have my suspicions about Harry and Ginny but, this author has no sense when it comes to "birds and bees"
A school full of sexually mature people and no "Doctor" playing at all? Hell, Hermione spends 10 months a year at school and a month and a half at the burrow, that leaves no home life at all... What parents would allow that?
If its so easy to get out of the common rooms of each house, how much easier would it be to fraternize?
Some parts of this story are more fiction than magic ever was.

Myrk, the book is hardback, and that's cheap for a hard back book. Most of them are anywhere from $25 to $32 (US). Rip off when considering they haven't changed anything from the HB printings of four years ago when they were $18 or so. Not to mention 1st edition hard backs usually have ass face paper that isn't cut properly.
Blame it on Microsoft, God does.
