Punch in the correct phone number on the cell phone
and you are taken to an early draft for PS. Here's
what I am wondering: Assuming that Rowling had the
ending of the story in mind from the beginning and it
was only how to get there that was subject to revision,
is there anything the early draft can reveal about the
plot resolution in DH?

Hint: There is only one phone number that has been
given in HP.
I transcribed the part I could read. After zooming in
enough to read it, only the middle part was visible.
The top and bottom were cut off.
Without punctuation:
Ancient art and science by argo pyrites
And you end up not just with pure gold but also with
a funny stone [???]
Which is what I'm [on?] about, said harry. The
philosopher's stone, yes. and it works too. {?]
kept nicolas Flamel and his wife alive for almost 500 years.
I know said harry but he's [???]. He was spotted at
the opera in paris in 1762 and he was born back in 13 sometime.
Ron whistled
But he's dead now?,he asked
Of course, said harry. Someone stole his stone [??]
couldn't make any more elixir of life, could he? It takes
awhile to make another stone and by that time I suppose
he was just too old to live without his elixir until a
new stone was redy. And now I'll tell you something else
really weird.that I haven't told you up to now. The stone
was found in my parents' safe at gringotts bank.
But instead of the interested noises Harry had expected,
Ron and Hermione simply stated at him
What? said harry
[hemming, hawing and foot shuffling I'm too lazy to transcribe]
You don't think, he said suddenly and angrily that my
parents stole the stone.
Um said ron.
Look said harry furiously that's like saying they murdered flamel.
