Well for fans, the movie is coming out July 13, 2007, the 7th (and final) book is being released July 21, 2007 at 12:01AM, and here are some pictures of a "Not-so-Harry-Potter" in a play he's doing in London (I think) www.flickr.com/photos/23514648@N00/375421166/JK Rowling has had the last chapter of the last book written since before the first book was published (she knew how it would all end from the very beginning) *Spoiler warning* I heard that two characters will die in the final book - I'm assuming that it's both Harry Potter and you-know-who since she won't be writing about Harry Potter anymore

I'm hoping it's not Harry. She mentioned that originally it was only going to be one person, but she decided to save that person after all. The exchange of saving that one person was killing two others.
I'm glad it will be over, but at the same time it depends on how it ends!

I cruised the fansites and read a lot of the speculations- One Logical point that kept coming up was the death of Harry- by bumping him off- nobody else can write about him! (of course in the fantasy world "anything" is possible- Remember Gandolf in the "Rings" series!) Can't wait to read the final book-

The dates have been logged in my head... or at least the post has been logged in my brain so I can return to it often enough to make sure I havent missed it!! I made sure Jeremy read this one because I stood in line with my number and prepaid ticket until after midnight at Barnes and Noble for the last book!! I plan to do it again!! Thanks for the heads up.

Kitti, do you start reading it at midnight?
Took me about 3 days to read the 6th book and no way was hubby reading it before I did, cuz I know he'd tell me how it ends! Same with this one... I'm reading it first, I'll get it at Walmart or Costco cuz they always have tons of copies.
For a bit of trivia - they're printing this one on paper from my city here! Wonder if they'll mention that in there.
I can't believe this is the last one - each time a movie comes out or another book, I re-read all the books to that point - I've now read the 1st 4 books about 5 times in English and 3 times in French (I'm not quite off my rocker yet - but heck I'll read anything even cereal boxes & toilet paper wrappers if nothing else is around)
