Rowling unveils last Potter date

The last instalment of the Harry Potter saga will be published on 21 July, author JK Rowling has announced.

She confirmed the date fans will be able to get their hands on Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows on her website.

This is the 10th anniversary of the first book of the hugely successful series being published.

The Potter books have sold 325 million copies worldwide, have been translated into 64 languages and spawned five blockbuster movies.

I don't want it to end :( Regardless of the tenth anniversary stuff, I'm a tad surprised she didn't choose 7/7/07. I suppose it might be perceived as a bit insensitive to release it on the anniversary of the bombs though. Hmm.

OMG YAY!!!!!!!!!!

I was really thinking itd be in Decemeber (cause now it will go up against the 5th movie).

Heck yes!! Amazon, here I come!!!

And I have to agree with you that its sad that its over. But at least we got two more movies to come out. :-\

Oh, and I bet they didnt put out the 7th (besides being the bombings) because that would be the week before the movie, and if people are still sitting around reading the new book, they may not go out to see the 5th movie. If that makes sense at all...I dunno.

Total waste of a once-in-a-century opportunity if you ask me :(

I was going to do amazon ordering, but instead i will go to B&N and be one of those kids that waits in line at midnight to get my copy.

[boley.livejournal.com]

Im strongly considering that, but...I dont know if I can be that much of a dork..hahaha. If I had other friends that would go wait with me, I'd go...but, alas, I do not. But it will be the last time probably for awhile that groups of people wait in line for a book release....I dunno.

*matches icon*

actually i just found out that there is a HUGE party in IL for it... For the HBP the Phelps twins where at it.

I WILL be there now for sure... and yes, with wand in hand and probably a costume!

and a bunch of girls from work will be going with me and my boyfriend so we can dork it out together! If you live near IL... holla and join us!

[boley.livejournal.com]

Where at in IL? because oddly enough, I live in Indiana, about an hour away from the IL border. That would be entirely enertaining...randomly meeting up with HIH fans and partying at the bookstore..hahahaha.

SCHAMBURG!!!!

[boley.livejournal.com]

DUDE!! I love Schamburg! Isnt that where the big ass mall is up by Chicago? It takes me about 3 and half hours to get up to Chicago..hahaha. Watch out, because it might be some serious consideration for me to head up there.hhahahaha.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_shaomao_/]

well we have several months to plan and figure stuff out!!! hahahaha!

HiH party up in IL!

[boley.livejournal.com]

Sweeeeeeeeet! hahaha. I wonder if we could get any other HIHers to go as well! :-D Fun times!

[jackie.livejournal.com]

Hey, I live in the MO! It's about 8 hours to Chicago, but I would totally make that trip for HiH time! XD

[fightsactualfoo.livejournal.com]

Love from Des Plaines!

[http://users.livejournal.com/_shaomao_/]

Holla from Chicago Proper!

[seaborne.livejournal.com]

I wish I lived in IL now :(

[ohthatisbadnews.livejournal.com]

Me too.

Lets move and get a small house together just for the occasion.

[skitsosquirrel.livejournal.com]

yay! I can't wait! I'll be at the bookstore at midnight. I don't want it to end either but I really, really want to know what happens, especially to Snape. What I really want her to do is a Marauders era series next, but I know it's probably hopeless

[ella-eternity.livejournal.com]

...what am i going to look forward to now?

(other than the movies, of course.)

[erica-alexis.livejournal.com]

Yay! This is so exciting, I was afraid that they'd make us wait another year.

[meaghan1345.livejournal.com]

July honestly, cannot come fast enough. First the movie and then the book. I think I might die from all of the excitment. Although I will be sad to see the last book...God I'm gonna cry so much it won't even be funny.

[pxyjuice.livejournal.com]

Im loving your icon! :D

[eternalslacker.livejournal.com]

*Weep* I may be going to China over the summer, and that's supposed to be the day I come back. Which means I miss all the parties, and I won't be able to get the book until I get home, unless we do a stopover and the airport has it.

I want to go to China, but the fangirl in me is sad. I miss the opening weekend of the movie too. :(

[excentrix.livejournal.com]

I can't believe Harry Potter is actually going to end. Yeah, there are the movies but still. It's so sad. I think I might cry. I am so going to miss Lucius Malfoy and his pimp cane.

JULY, PLEASE COME QUICK!

I KNOW I'm going to bawl my eyes out all night,

I am SO not ready for the end. =[

But I am excited and anxious to see if all my theories are correct. XD
