Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows
Harry Potter’s Final Act Is Set for July 21 - New York Times
J. K. Rowling, the author of the record-setting Harry Potter series, announced today that the seventh — and last — book in the series, “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows,” will be published on July 21.
Of course the date comes awfully darn close to Harry Potter's birthday (July 31), which is also (not coincidentally) J.K. Rowling's birthday.
It seems like just a few days ago I was waiting in line outside the bookstore at midnight, ready for, well, a really late night in which I think I was reading to my son until nearly two in the morning.
Who will die in HP7? And why is this the only question anybody ever has about the HP books? And how long after the book is released will everybody jump in and tell you that the person who dies is not really dead?
Just so we can be utterly and completely clear on my position on the topic, I'm taking the dirt road and claiming that Dumbledore is dead, absolutely dead, and conclusively dead.
"To the well organized mind, death is buth the next great adventure." --Albus Dumbledore
Maybe J.K. Rowling should start a series on that very thing.
"Albus Dumbledore and the Next Great Adventure" ... "Albus Dumbledore and the Pearly Gates" ... "Albus Dumbledore and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven"
... move along, there's nothing more to see here.
And blessings.
