The Guardian reveals opening of Deathly Hallows?

I was just checking Mugglenet and i came across this:

With extreme caution for lack of authenticity, we bring you this article from The Guardian's online website. It holds, what they say, is the opening to Deathly Hallows dated October 23rd, 2006.

According to their site, this small portion can be seen in video from the upcoming JK Rowling documentary we told you about a few days ago.

We've posted it in the black area below in case it is removed from The Guardian's website. Highlight in between the arrows if you wish to read.

i haven't as you may of noticed, posted the supposedly opening to DH because i do believe iits against our spoiler policy since the the info has not been authenticated yet. If it is found to be correct then i may add it, or i may forget or both.

anyways yeah thats it.

I just read this on MN, and well, I think it must be authentic. The Guardian are quite a reputable newspaper, and not a tabloid. That said, it doesn't reveal anything major.

However, everyone be aware there is a supposed leak of the epilogue floating around the internet, so watch out for it!

i thought it was authentic but i didnt want to believe anything until it was confirmed, i actually liked what i read and im eager to read the book more then ever now.

I dunno, it just doesn't ring very true to me. It's not bad or anything, it just doesn't seem like something J.K. Rowling would write. But it makes me more excited than ever for the book!

I have decided not to read it
1) because it will make me more excited
2) no point in spoiling the opening

i was reading mugglenet earlier and they've updated here's the quote:

Emily's edit: I emailed Andrew saying I didn't think the excerpt was real. Here's why: There is a mixture of British/English grammar - the British spelling of "blank" and the American use of "blank." There are also odd punctuation errors - a colon after "blank" and then ?", when only a question mark before the quotation mark would be used. Would Jo really make these errors? We'll find out soon.

ive blanked out some of the words because its a reference to the supposedly leaked first chapter thing.

and i have to agree, having taken a closer look, it may very well be an exceptionally brilliant fake.
