Here it is folks! I received this from Barnes and Noble today!

Per your request, we are sending you this Writer Alert announcement. J.K. Rowling's eagerly awaited new book, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Harry Potter Book 7) is scheduled to be released on July 21, 2007 and is now available to pre-order.

Rowling admits to great happiness that she has acheived the goal of making seven books, despairing that it's the last one and wants us to know that this last book is her favorite in the series.

Of course it's her favorite... it's the one that's going to earn her another couple hundred mil.

The real trick for Rowling will be to see if she can REALLY leave the Potter world and spin another yarn to capture our imagination.

Final Potter book: 784 'green' pages
I think she can tie up the loose ends in 800 pages...

This is the whole cover. The right side (Potter) is the front cover while Voldemort takes up the back cover. (I hear that you only see V's cowled face on the "inside" of the back cover, while his hand takes up the whole of the back outward covering). </font>

Go to this site and read the diary she has there for May 14th.

The most interesting part is at the bottom.

Let me know what you think about what she wrote, possible spoiler???

I think she's just having a good time. It sounds like she's getting a little laugh at all the people that are claiming to have some insight as to events in the final book.
:D Quite funny, actually. :D

Yeah, you're probably right.
Darn it...just dying for this book to come out!
I still think that R.A.B from that last one is Regulus Black...

I think it's Regulus as well. We'll see.
