‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows’
JK Rowling has made it clear that the 7th book in the Harry Potter series will be the final adventure for Harry and the Hogwarts crew, and that the book will bring more deaths. She has also stated that we will learn more about Harry’s parent’s, James and Lily and that there will be a wedding, which was kind of expected.
While avid readers and fans still have a long time to wait before the book is released, there are more than a few hints and rumors about what the future will hold for Harry. In an interview broadcast in June 2006 on Britain’s Channel 4, Rowling said that two characters had been killed off in the last book, “One character got a reprieve, but I have to say two die that I didn’t intend to die.”
She added, “I’ve never been tempted to kill him (Harry) off before the end of book seven, because I always planned seven books and that’s where I want to go.” “I can completely understand, however, the mentality of an author who thinks ‘Well, I’m going to kill them off because that means there can be no non-author-written sequels … so it will end with me, and after I’m dead and gone they won’t be able to bring back the character’.”
Jo commented in another interview when asked if book seven would be shorter than book five, “No, I think that [book seven] will be long because I won’t want to let go. I’ll just keep writing…I dread leaving Harry… ” Which really makes it seem that Harry does survive book seven.
Can it really be true that the world will have to wait until sometime in the middle of 2007 before finding out how this all turns out? There is a rumor about the release date of 07/07/07 for book 7 going around that sounds very well thought out. The speculation is that it would be the perfect for date for the last Harry Potter book to hit the bookstores. But don’t get your hopes up until things are confirmed.

I think they will release Harry Potter and the Death Hollow on 07/07/07 because it is such a big rumor and that it falls around the time they would publish it. Unless the book isn’t finished by then. I can’t wait for the last book.
