[HPFGU-OTChatter] Fake fifth book

[zeff8]

Do you really think a commuinist country like china, will allow such a law
suit?
I don't think so.. Best bet for JK is to put the word out and the fans then
show their distaste for anyone who buys the bogus book. That and refuse to
sell to china and the countries that do that kind of copying.
