Title of 7th Harry Potter Book ..... REVEALED!!!

[hippie_chick]

Author JK Rowling has revealed the title of the seventh and final Harry Potter book.

The book will be called Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

The announcement was made on the writer's official website. Fans must play a game in order to find out what the title is.

This week Rowling, 41, revealed how she has gone back to writing in cafes - as she did 13 years ago when starting to write about the boy wizard.

She has also admitted how she has been dreaming of the character.

Writing on her website she described it as an "epic dream" where she was Harry and the narrator simultaneously.

'Elated and overwrought'

In a recent blog the writer said she has been working hard on the last book.

"I'm now writing scenes that have been planned, in some cases, for a dozen years or even more," she said.

She also described feeling "alternately elated and overwrought" at writing it and joked she cannot decide if she wants to finish it or not.

I am such a bad fangirl. I haven't visited her site in so very long.

I'm actually surprised the dreams are starting now for Jo. I mean, that entire world and the characters have been with her since what, the 80s? And not even in jest, Jo! FINISH THAT BOOK. LOL!!!

It's going to be interesting in the fandom *if* she kills Harry off. I can just see it exploding right now. It'll be so sad to finish that last page of the last book! But I won't think about that now. I'll just enjoy the anticipation and the fact that the OotP movie is coming out!!

I am still miffed about the Half-Blood Prince. *grrr* I have a theory about Dumbledore so the lst book needs to come out like NOW so I can be happy. And I really wanted Hermione to be the Half-Blood Prince because I thought that would have beena cool twist.

When does OotP come out? Did I see June 2007?

July 13 for OotP. :)

I feel the same about HBP.

Hermione... that *would* have been a really cool twist, actually. And I'd love to hear your Dumbledore theory. :)

I'm convinced he's not dead because the professors made such a big deal about secret passwords to tell who the real person was. And Dumbledore never used one with Harry when he died. So it couldn't have been the real Dumbledore. And there was a really good site somewhere that listed why he wasn't dead. Maybe I can find that again...

Come to think of it on the password thing, no he didn't, did he?

Thank you for that link it is quite interesting reading, and makes perfect sense, actually. Hmmmm.....

None of the sites I read mentioned the password but I'm sticking to my theory. :)

I'm going to have to reread that book before the last one comes out. I also feel like a HP movie marathon now!

Cue the speculation for what the Deathly Hallows are.

And also when Book #7 is due out. If it does come out next Summer (esp. on the suggested date of 7/7/07) , then Sectus is going to be insane.

I was on her site for the first time in forever a few days ago to read the new diary page and look at the Christmas decorations.

Yep, yep. *nods*

I would SO love to attend that conference!! It *will* be insane if the book is released then, particularly as you said, on July 7.

I'll have to go peek in, now and see what she's got going. :)

I'm up to my eyeballs in writing HP-based femmeslash at the moment so I can tell you what I think Deathly Hallows refers to. *cough*

I wish you could go to Sectus. That would be so cool. I still have to book my damn hotel room -- I have to call them to get the information I need. *sigh* Honestly, a Potter conference in London 2 weeks after the book comes out? Eeeeeeeek.

The only thing going is the locked room which is currently unlocked. If you need instructions on how to get through everything, give a yell.

And you *are* going to see Donny! I do hope one of your Donny-pals can go with you. I know how that is. It's one of the reasons I gave up seeing David Bowie cos I got tired of going to shows on my own.
