Harry Potter 7's title revealed! (with Pics)

January 4th 2007 10:22
Well, I wrote out this big long blog about Harry Potter 7 and how I missed the announcement of it's title a couple of weeks ago but I had to be a real daft bugger and go and delete the whole thing before I even had a chance to publish it. I'm so stupid sometimes. Grrrr!

Anyway, the long-awaited title to the last ever Harry Potter book is...

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

Sounds ominous doesn't it? Anyway, I'm not going to talk about what I think will happen... everyone does that, and everyone always gets it wrong. Only J. K. Rowling knows what will happen. There's been talk that Harry might die, and I wouldn't put it past Rowling. She hasn't denied it either but no doubt she's loving every minute of the suspense she's inflicting on the millions of Harry Potter fans out there. I would.


A release date hasn't been announced yet, but having worked in bookstores for a few years now I can pretty much safely say that no other book release attracts as much fanfare as Harry Potter. I was lucky enough to be rostered on for the release of 'Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince' in 2004 (it's pretty much an all-hands-on-deck kinda day) and it was a lot of terrific fun. We decided to all dress up as Harry Potter characters for the day (well, we dressed in the style of Harry Potter characters - apparently it's some kind of copyright infringement to dress as any particular character for a company and Harry Potter's publishers are fairly strict about enforcing this), so I decided to dress as every crusading boy wizard's best mate (let's just say his name rhymes with 'John Heasley'). So I bleached my hair, dyed it red, and had a shave. Here's some pics...

After


You can't say I'm not a dedicated Harry Potter fan! Some of my employers grumbled a little, but they couldn't really complain too much as it was all in the line of duty. Ha ha! Can't wait for the 'Deathly Hallows'!

Last time, when the title was announced for Harry Potter 6 I think it came out only around four months after. If this one takes longer (and I think they'll string it out for as long as they can, they'll probably wait until after the film version of 'Order of the Phoenix' comes out), I'm guessing sometime around August.
