The title of the seventh and final Harry Potter book — and hence, almost certainly the title of the seventh and final Harry Potter movie — has been announced. And it is (drum roll please)… Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.The Associated Press is reporting that while the title for J.K. Rowling's final installment in the hugely popular series has been settled on, a release date for the book has not. Details regarding the plot of Harry's concluding adventure are, of course, being kept under tight wraps as well. "I'm now writing scenes that have been planned, in some cases, for a dozen years or even more," says the author. "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.)" Source: IGN

Harry's gay.  What you expect from a boy who plays with his wand all day? Are you talking about Harry Potter or Irish? I know, I own you guys. I really am the coolest.

Just pre-ordered Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows from Amazon. They guarantee release date delivery or its free. So here's hoping I get it the following day!

I saw a spoiler site and it had a totally different ending which I will not put here because I don't know how to do a spoiler window.  Yeah, Capo showed how. Just type....spoiler then /spoiler, each within square brackets. Anyway, I would like to know whatever that spoiler alerted to me was legit or not.

JK Rowling rails against spoilers JK Rowling said fans wanted to finish the saga "in their own time" JK Rowling has hit out at US newspapers that have published plot details from the final Harry Potter book. The author said she was "staggered" that papers including The New York Times had printed reviews ahead of the novel's publication on 21 July.
The author said the information was in "complete disregard of the wishes of literally millions of readers".
UK publishers Bloomsbury said spoilers remained "unauthenticated". Some books have been sent out early in the US.
The book's US publisher Scholastic has sued online retailer DeepDiscount.com for breaking the strict embargo by dispatching a number of copies.
The book's contents have been the subject of intense speculation The novel has also appeared on auction site eBay, while pictures of what appeared to be pages from the new book have appeared on the internet.
Bloomsbury said it was "dismayed" to learn about the early sales. But internet spoilers had not come from the few copies sold ahead of the official publication, it insisted.
The strict embargo was being "enforced unflinchingly and without exception" by publishers in 93 countries, the company added.
Rowling said the US newspaper reviews would particularly affect children "who wanted to reach Harry's final destination by themselves, in their own time".
"I am incredibly grateful to all those newspapers, booksellers and others who have chosen not to attempt to spoil Harry's last adventure for fans," she added.
We tried very, very hard to give away the absolute bare minimum of the plot
Rick Lyman New York Times Rowling's statement follows an earlier message on her website, in which she said: "Let's all, please, ignore the misinformation popping up on the web and in the press.
"I'd like to ask everyone who calls themselves a Harry Potter fan to help preserve the secrecy of the plot for all those who are looking forward to reading the book at the same time on publication day.
"In a very short time you will know everything!"
The New York Times said its copy was bought at a store in the city on Wednesday.
Some fans are already queuing outside a central London bookshop The paper's books and theatre editor Rick Lyman said: "It's our policy that once a book has been offered up for sale, it's fair game to be reviewed.
"It's not our business to help book publishers market their books. We tried very, very hard to give away the absolute bare minimum of the plot."
On Wednesday, the Baltimore Sun printed a review of the book, saying it had obtained a copy from a relative of one of its reporters who had received it prematurely.
A person selling a copy on eBay said: "I don't work for a bookstore and I don't have a magic wand. An online store shipped a copy early."
Meanwhile, UK supermarket Asda has announced it will sell the book for £5 - just over a quarter of the recommended retail price.
Bloomsbury had originally cancelled Asda's order, with the supermarket calling the price "potty" and accusing the retailer of "blatant profiteering".
i have just been listening to her on my local radio station and she sounds extremelly pissed off

i think she just cares about the young harry potter fans not for her own financial gain. Thats probably why I've been telling those kids that Harry dies, the gal runs off with Volermort, and the Earth explodes. Rotten to the core you are, RonnieRocket.

Serves those kids right for believeing a stranger. That said, a friend of mine did post those HP 7 spoilers at the book store on his late shift. If he isn't fired by monday, color me shocked.

Anybody else wait in line to get the book? I waited at our local Wal-Mart for 5 hours and 10 minutes. Oh yes, I was first in line I ordered mine from Amazon.  I could have gotten it from Target. When I got to work this morning, there were about 100 copies of it on the shelves (this is at 4 in the morning, before we open.) They'll all be gone by the time they close tonight.
