Supposedly, someone hacked into R. K. Rowlings' computer and saw her text for the last book there... If that's true it sucks!

That's not true. Don't believe what everyone says.

Bloomsberry (the UK editor of the HP books) hasn't denied or confirmed it... so I guess we will have to wait till the 21 to find out. Personally I think it's not true
SPOILER:
I think that is all absurd... for example when the he says that Hermione dies from the Crucio spell... Crucio causes pain, but it doesn't kill... so to me, they guy didn't even take the time to research the books before he said he hacked into the computer and got the manuscript.
Plus the part about Draco creating a Horcrux for money? Come oooon... if he got something right in my opinion, he just got lucky.

Considering JK Rowling writes in long hand...what do you think of a claim of hacking into her computer? Kind of difficult don't you think? As someone else said, incorrect terminology shows the 'hacker' didn't even take the time to properly research the topic.

Actually you are partially correct.
1. It's J.K.Rowling
2. It wasn't a hacker, but someone at Scholastic Press who had an advance copy of the galley proofs and read it during an overnight work shift
3. It was posted to several media sites, and about 85% of them published this information without verification
My guess is this guy was telling the truth. He says that Hermione and Ron die in one of the final scenes, and if you really think about it...what would he have to gain from lying about it?

It's most likely just another person trying to make there "predictions" sound more valid. I doubt she just has the book saved to her desktop even if a hacker got into her computer. None of these "hackers" have turned out to be credible.

Nope, that was a hoax. Someone wanted to voice their personal displeasure about the Harry Potter series, so they lied about seeing the book, so that they would get press coverage and so they could voice their opinion to a wider audience.

It was true that someone had claimed to do that, but I mean come on. Do yoou eally think anyone could get to Jk's book? I don't think she would have it just somewhere on her computer. And anyway, I don't think its true anyway because,, JK wouldn't be so careless with
her book.

Doubt it. I'm sure the author has great security on her computer and manuscript. We dont have to wait much longer anyway.

There are many "spoilers" out there on the Internet. Who knows if they're true?
