Rumours that half an hour of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 was leaked onto the Internet as a sort of extended teaser for the movie have been dismissed as“absurd.”

There is a lot of speculation that the leak would be good for the movie, and other news sites said the high quality of the watermarked source material suggests the leaker had close proximity to the Potter production’s inner circle. But studio execs called such conspiracy theories were pants. Warner said that Harry Potter did not need that sort of publicity because it was the most successful franchise in film history.

According to MovieTickets.com, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 is the fifth-biggest generator of advance ticket sales in history, with 1,000 sellouts nationwide and 94 percent of this weekend’s early receipts. Other studios said that no one would gamble with a high-profile movie. Warner is planning to prosecute the leaker. However it has not even reported the leak to the FBI.
