Harry Potter and the Order Of Phoenix due out June 21st, in just 11 days has been leaked to the internet nearly 2 weeks before release.

Copies of the new installment of the insanely popular book series started flying around the internet late last week, all over mIRC and now have spread into all the major P2P networks, such as the likes of eDonkey and Lime wire. However, users of the popular KaZaA network have it a bit harder, since this network has been targeted since the beginning of the year when the title was announced with fake and misnamed files to try and discourage the use of piracy.

Currently since it’s announcement Harry Potter has been the #1 book, selling over 130, 000 copies already. The fifth book is expected to exceed the sales of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, released in July 2000, which sold more copies on the first weekend after publication than any other book in history, according to Bloomsbury. All together Harry Potter books have sold an estimated 192 million copies worldwide making it second best only to the Bible. The books have been published in at least 55 languages and distributed in more than 200 countries.
