J.K. Rowling Isn’t Laughing

The book’s US publisher has filed two separate lawsuits against companies who have released the book before the contractual release date.

Scholastic, the publisher, has filed charges against DeepDiscount.com and Levy Entertainment, who released the books before the official release date of July 21.

It is not known how much money the editor is requesting in the lawsuits, which accuse the two companies of "complete and flagrant violation of the agreements".

In a statement, J.K. Rowling said, "We take the situation very seriously and are conducting an internal investigation."
