Final Harry Potter Book Due Out in July Feb 1, 8:19 AM EST The Associated Press LONDON -- "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows," the last of seven installments of the boy wizard's adventures, will be published July 21, author J.K. Rowling said Thursday. Rowling announced the publication date on her Web site. Bloomsbury, her British publisher, said it would publish a children's hardback edition, an adult hardback, a special gift edition and an audio book on the same day. Scholastic Children's Books, the U.S. publisher, said it would offer a hardback edition at a suggested retail price of $34.99, a deluxe edition at $65.00 and a reinforced library edition at $39.99. Bloomsbury noted that this year is the 10th anniversary of the publication of the first "Harry Potter" book in the phenomenally successful series. The "Potter" books have sold 325 million copies worldwide and been translated into 64 languages, Bloomsbury said. The last book, "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince," sold 2,009,574 copies in Britain on the first day of its release, Bloomsbury said. The Potter franchise is so important to the company's earnings that it announced the publication to the London Stock Exchange. Bloomsbury shares were up 2.2 percent to $4.40 after the announcement. http://movies.msn.com/movies/article.aspx?...49892>1=7701& Harry Potter VII Gets A Date Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, the seventh and final book in the popular series by J.K. Rowling, has been scheduled for release on July 21, publisher Scholastic announced. As with the previous releases, the book will be made available in bookstores and online beginning at 12:01 a.m. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, the sixth book in the series, was released on July 16, 2005, and was the fastest-selling book in history, selling 6.9 million copies in the first 24 hours. All six Harry Potter books have been number-one bestsellers in the United States, the U.K. and around the world. There are currently over 120 million copies of the Harry Potter books in print in the United States alone. Scholastic will publish Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows in hardcover under the Arthur A. Levine imprint, with interior and cover art by Mary GrandPre, who has illustrated the previous six books. A deluxe edition and reinforced library edition will be published simultaneously. |

Rowling Sad At Potter's End Harry Potter creator J.K. Rowling said on her official Web site that she is both heartbroken and euphoric about wrapping up the franchise with the long-awaited seventh and final book, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. The book is due in bookstores on July 21. "Even while I'm mourning, though, I feel an incredible sense of achievement," Rowling wrote. "I can hardly believe that I've finally written the ending I've been planning for so many years. I've never felt such a mixture of extreme emotions in my life, never dreamed I could feel simultaneously heartbroken and euphoric." Rowling added: "While each of the previous Potter books has strong claims on my affections, Deathly Hallows is my favorite, and that is the most wonderful way to finish the series." The seventh Potter book is already a best-seller in presales on Amazon.com and Barnes & Noble's Web site. http://www.jkrowling.com/ |

Potter VII A Best-Seller Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, the seventh and final volume in J.K. Rowling's best-selling series, doesn't come out until July, but it is already topping the sales charts of Amazon.com and Barnes & Noble.com, the Associated Press reported. A deluxe edition, priced at $65, is number two, outselling the You diet book, Sen. Barack Obama and an Oprah Winfrey-endorsed memoir by Sidney Poitier. Rowling announced last week that Deathly Hallows would come out July 21. The previous six books have sold more than 325 million copies in 64 languages and broken countless sales records. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, published in 2005, had an announced first U.S. printing of 10.8 million copies and sold 6.9 million copies in its first 24 hours. |

Potter VII To Break Records Scholastic Corp. said on March 7 that it will release a record-breaking 12 million copies for the first U.S. printing of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, the seventh and final book in J.K. Rowling's series, which hits stores on July 21, the Reuters news service reported. The release will be backed by a multimillion-dollar marketing campaign and is expected to be one of the biggest publishing events in recent years. Speculation has run high that Deathly Hallows could mark the death of the boy-wizard hero. Harry Potter books have sold 325 million copies and have been translated into 64 languages. The first printing of Deathly Hallows breaks a record of 10.8 million copies, set by the sixth book, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, in 2005. That book sold 6.9 million in the first 24 hours, Scholastic said. |
