Yeah, on July 13 Warner Bros. will be releasing the fifth installment of the Harry Potter films, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, but on July 21 J.K. Rowling will unleash on the world the seventh and final installment of the book franchise, “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows“, of which can already be preordered at Amazon.com.
As she has finally laid the pen to rest, author and United Kingdom billionaire J.K. Rowling has posted the following message on her website:
Charles Dickens put it better than I ever could:
‘It would concern the reader little, perhaps, to know how sorrowfully the pen is laid down at the close of a two-years’ imaginative task; or how an Author feels as if he were dismissing some portion of himself into the shadowy world, when a crowd of the creatures of his brain are going from him for ever.’
To which I can only sigh, try seventeen years, Charles…
I always knew that Harry’s story would end with the seventh book, but saying goodbye has been just as hard as I always knew it would be. Even while I’m mourning, though, I feel an incredible sense of achievement. I can hardly believe that I’ve finally written the ending I’ve been planning for so many years. I’ve never felt such a mixture of extreme emotions in my life, never dreamed I could feel simultaneously heartbroken and euphoric.
Some of you have expressed a (much more muted!) mixture of happiness and sadness at the prospect of the last book being published, and that has meant more than I can tell you. If it comes as any consolation, I think that there will be plenty to continue arguing and speculating about, even after ‘Deathly Hallows’ comes out. So if you’re not yet ready to quit the message boards, do not despair…
I’m almost scared to admit this, but one thing has stopped me collapsing in a puddle of misery on the floor. While each of the previous Potter books has strong claims on my affections, ‘Deathly Hallows’ is my favourite, and that is the most wonderful way to finish the series.
Man, my main interest in this book is to see if she takes Harry out in the end. Will he die?
Once again, if you haven’t preordered it yet and want to it is right here at Amazon for $39.00.
