It seems that Warner Bros is betting on catching the individual that leaked the first 36 minutes of the new Harry Potter movie: The Deathly Hallows: Part 1. I say ' yeah right good luck. Not promoting privacy at all but if the first 36 minutes of the movie is good and intriguing enough people will still line up to go see it. Which I believe they will as all the Harry Potter movies are pretty good and was well received at the movie theatre and the DVD's sold very well as well.
"Torrent searchers hit pay dirt Monday with the discovery of the Deathly Hallows fragment on BitTorrent sites. The watermarked footage appears to come from a DVD screener sent out by the studio, although Warner Bros. would not confirm this.
Ernesto Van der Sar, founder/editor of the TorrentFreak website, told Wired.com that Deathly Hallows: Part 1 is the most-anticipated film at the moment among downloaders, but said he doesn’t think this particular leak will be downloaded by millions of BitTorrent users.
“From comments I’ve seen, people would rather wait for the film to premiere in-theater or hang on until a full, high-quality copy of the film appears online,” he said.
On Torrent-tracking sites like and The Pirate Bay and isoHunt, some users complained about fake Deathly Hallows torrents that were popping up, while others said they enjoyed the extended sneak peek at what appears to be legitimate footage from the seventh Harry Potter movie."
