Deathly Hallows Review Sparks Rowling’s Anger
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Gossip, Rumors, Spoilers
Reviews of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, the much-anticipated final installment to J.K. Rowling’s boy wizard saga, appeared in two newspapers on Thursday. The problem is, the book isn’t supposed to be sold until 12:01 am July 21, 2007. The New York Times and Baltimore Sun both published reviews of the book, allegedly angering series creator/writer J.K. Rowling. The New York Times claims its copy of Deathly Hallows was purchased in the city on Wednesday, and the Sun assured its readers the book their paper obtained was “through legal and ordinary means.” Yet, nearly everyone in the country has pre-ordered the book or is waiting, with baited breath, for its release – and none of them have managed to get advanced copies.

Don’t Believe the Potter Spoilers
As the release date of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows draws ever-nearer, more Internet rumor and spoilers are cropping up than you can shake a mouse at. Digital images of what may or may not be the entire text of the novel, including a seven-page epilogue, are all over the Web. Potter publishers Scholastic Books are ordering these spoilers off the ‘Net, though spokespersons for the company say this by no means is an indication of the validity of the spoilers themselves. The publishing house further stated there is more than one version of the book currently on the ‘Net, though many of these look “convincing.” Speculation has been dramatic, and even those who are on the “inside” have to wait for answer like everyone else. In a recent USA Today interview, Rupert Grint (who plays Harry’s BFF Ron Weasley) said he wouldn’t mind doing a death scene for the seventh movie, and he believes both Harry and Voldemort will die in the Deathly Hallows.

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: News
The seventh (and last) edition to the Harry Potter series, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, hasn’t even hit the shelves yet, and it’s already sold more than one million copies. According to Amazon.com, J.K. Rowling’s last Harry novel is the most pre-ordered product in Amazon’s history, with 1.6 million copies already on the pre-order list for shipment around the world. The book will be in bookstores worldwide on July 21, though sales are expected to rise by several hundred thousand copies by that time. Rowling has publicly stated that “at least two” characters will die in this last book, though she refuses to give any hints about who those characters might be. Rowling, with more than 325 million copies of Harry books sold, is the first author to ever make a billion dollars from her literary efforts. The Harry Potter franchise includes a highly successful string of movies, with Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix scheduled for theaters July 13. The final movie won’t make it to the theatres until 2010.
