Actually Wendy, it was the New York Daily News (not the New York
Times) that printed the spoiler and got in trouble with JKR,
Bloomsbury and Scholastic because of it. But no, I never saw the
spoiler, so I don't know exactly what they printed. Did anyone
actually see what the NYDN actually wrote?

I remembered this but couldn't recall the details. A quick Google found this
article:

They bought a copy of the book from a health food store that illegally put
it out early and published two pages, pictures of them, anyway. The text of
the pages was readable. I'm not sure which two pages they were. I'm sure a
little more digging through the Google results could yield that information
if you really want to know. JK and the publishers sued the New York Daily
News to which they said they would vehemently defend themselves. I'm not
sure if there's been a resolution to the case or not yet.
