JLV here:

I'm not sure that this is a leak - after all it is the bookmakers who 
are suspending betting, not the book publishers! (Ooh a play on 
words!) But I have my own 'Am I the only one?' question inspired by 
these speculations. Am I the only one who pictures Harry in his final 
battle with Voldemort seeing a vision of Dearlydeparted!Dumbledore 
saying to him in a voice fronm the beyond

"Use the Fawkes Harry... Use the Fawkes..."?
