Final 'Harry Potter' Title Announced

<<miiss.candyfloss&

The Associated Press

We now have a title for Book VII: "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows."

But if you want to find out for yourself, visit J.K. Rowling's Web site, jkrowling.com, and play a little game of hangman.

Rowling's U.S. publisher, Scholastic, Inc., released a brief statement Thursday announcing the name of the world's most anticipated children's book, the finale to her phenomenally popular fantasy series.

No publication date or other details were offered. Rowling is still working on the book, she wrote on her Web site in an entry posted early Thursday.

"I'm now writing scenes that have been planned, in some cases, for a dozen years or even more," she wrote. "I don't think anyone who has not been in a similar situation can possibly know how this feels: I am alternately elated and overwrought. I both want, and don't want, to finish this book (don't worry, I will.)"

Meanwhile, she set up a little game for her Potter fans.

If you go to her home page, click on the eraser and you will be taken to a room — you'll see a window, a door and a mirror.

In the mirror, you'll see a hallway. Click on the farthest doorknob and look for the Christmas tree. Then click on the center of the door next to the mirror and a wreath appears. Then click on the top of the mirror and you'll see a garland.

Look for a cobweb next to the door. Click on it, and it will disappear. Now, look at the chimes in the window. Click on the second chime to the right, and hold it down. The chime will turn into the key, which opens the door. Click on the wrapped gift behind the door, then click on it again and figure out the title yourself by playing a game of hangman.

Or you can just take Scholastic's word for it.

Yeah.Harry's gonna die in the last book.

Another report:

J.K. Rowling revealed the title of the last novel in her best-selling schoolboy wizard series as "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" - a name likely to fuel fears she will kill off her hero.

The revelation will whet the appetite of millions of fans worldwide for the seventh and final Potter instalment, which will follow Harry and friends during their final year at Hogwarts, the school for witches and wizards.

A publication date has not yet been set by publishers Bloomsbury and, in typical style, Rowling's official website unveiled the title in the form of a puzzle.

Fans are invited to find a key to a locked door; inside the door lies a gift and inside the wrapping there is a hangman word game; and readers must guess which letters fill the gaps before the words "Deathly Hallows" are revealed.

The first six books in the Potter series have sold more than 300 million copies worldwide and been translated into 63 languages, making Rowling Britain's highest-earning woman.

The first four books have been adapted into hit films starring Daniel Radcliffe as the boy wizard.

"Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix", the fifth movie in the series, is currently being filmed and is due for release next year.

In a British television interview in June, Rowling left open the possibility of Potter dying in the last book.

Saying she has known more or less how the series would end since around 1990, Rowling said: "One character got a reprieve. But I have to say two die that I didn't intend to die.

"A price has to be paid, we are dealing with pure evil here. They don't target extras, do they? They go for the main characters -- well, I do."

Asked whether Potter himself would be a casualty, Rowling said she could understand authors who kill off characters "because that means there can be no non-author written sequels."

However, she admitted worrying about the hate mail that would follow.

Rowling, who shot to fame from humble roots, also revealed that she still writes in cafes and based the character of Potter's good friend Hermione on a combination of herself and her sister when they were young.

As for the future after Potter, Rowling said: "I don't think I'm ever going to have anything like Harry again. You just get one like Harry."

Rowling admitted on her website this week that she was under stress as wrote the closing chapters of the final Potter novel -- in which she has hinted that the beloved hero may be killed off.

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

"I don't think anyone who has not been in a similar situation can possibly know how this feels. I am alternately elated and overwrought.

"I both want, and don't want, to finish this book (don't worry I will)," she wrote.
