J.K. Rowling has just updated her site to address the rumors of an HBP leak. British tabloid 'The Sun' recently printed an article which claimed that betting firms, in and around the town where HBP is being printed, had inside information as to the identities of the Half-Blood Prince and also a character who dies. Here is JKR's response:
"Well, here we go again! The gossip, the non-stories, the ever-wilder speculation...
Please remember that allegations of 'leaks' concerning deaths in 'Half-Blood Prince' are very easy to make. Any comment I make on such rumours would be a spoiler, so I'll just repeat: keep those barrels of salt handy."
So there you have it!
