Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is the seventh and final book in the Harry Potter series of novels by J. K. Rowling. The book is scheduled to be released globally in English-speaking countries shortly after midnight 00:01, British Summer Time, on 21 July 2007. However, in the U.S. (which spans several time zones), it is to be released for sale within each time zone at 00:01 local time, a few hours after the other English-speaking countries.[1] Retailers such as Amazon, Barnes & Noble and Borders are reporting that more orders have been placed for this book than for any other in history.[2]

It reached the top spot on both the Amazon.com and Barnes and Noble bestseller lists just a few hours after the date was announced on 1 February 2007.[3] American publisher Scholastic announced an initial print run of 12 million copies, together with an advertising campaign including the staged release of the seven questions most debated by fans.[4] The book is expected to be 608 pages in the British edition,[5] and has been confirmed to be 784 pages in the US edition.[6]

Rowling completed the book while staying at the Balmoral Hotel in Edinburgh in January 2007 and left a signed statement on a marble bust of Hermes in her room which read: "JK Rowling finished writing Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows in this room (652) on 11 January 2007".[7] She has stated that the final volume relates very closely to the previous book in the series, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, "almost as though they are two halves of the same novel."[8] In a web update on 6 February 2007, she wrote, "While each of the previous Potter books has strong claims on my affections, 'Deathly Hallows' is my favourite, and that is the most wonderful way to finish the series."[9]

The launch will be celebrated by an all night book signing and reading at the Natural History Museum in London which Rowling will attend along with 1700 guests chosen by ballot.[10]. Rowling intends to visit the USA in October, where another event will be held at Carnegie Hall in New York with tickets allocated by sweepstake.[11]

Rowling made a public request that anyone with advance information about the last book should keep it to themselves, to avoid spoiling the experience for the many readers who do not want to know the ending in advance.[12] That did not stop much speculation about possible endings in the weeks leading up to the book's release. [13]

Background to the series

Further information: Harry Potter

The Harry Potter series was originally published as a children's book by British publisher Bloomsbury, and American publisher Scholastic Press. It rapidly became a phenomenal success amongst children and adults alike. The books each chronicle one year at school for the characters concerned and follows a long tradition of children's series about life in schools.[14] Perhaps unlike some of the traditional series following this format, each new book has matured in target audience (roughly keeping pace with the age of the principal characters), expanded in complexity and scope, and darkened in tone compared to previous volumes[15]. Although Rowling has said that she comprehensively plotted the entire series of books before the first was published, and that this plot remains unchanged, she has also stated that it has undergone a number of revisions. The books began as relatively slim volumes (223 pages Philosopher's Stone UK ed.), but have grown as the series progressed (766 pages Order of the Phoenix UK ed.).

The books contain significant elements of fantasy and magic combined with a detective-novel approach to the story. Each volume contains a self-contained problem and task for the heroes to complete, but each has also added to the background information about the wizarding world in general and contains many pieces of information the importance of which only becomes apparent in later volumes (one of many methods of foreshadowing used by Rowling, known as a Chekhov's gun.)

A number of books about the Harry Potter series have now become highly popular, with some 190 books written.[16] A book produced by the fan site MuggleNet reached the #2 spot on the New York Times children's paperback best seller list with over 335,000 copies in print.[17]

Rowling has stated that she could not now change the ending of the book, even if she wanted to. "these books have been plotted for such a long time, and for six books now, that they're all leading a certain direction. So, I really can't ".[18]

Book cover artwork release

UK editions

The UK children's cover depicts Harry, Ron and Hermione falling into a large treasure of silver and gold. Someone (possibly a goblin) has a hand gripped onto Harry's right shoulder while holding a silver sword with a red stone in the hilt, matching the description of the sword Harry received in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. The trio appear frightened in the picture. The top of the cover spine has a symbol of a triangle with a circle in it cut in half, which combines the Greek letters delta and phi. The UK adult cover depicts Salazar Slytherin's locket, gold with a large engraved S, picked out in green gems.

With the release of the book jacket images, Bloomsbury also released the inside flap and back cover texts:[19]

Inside Flap:

Harry has been burdened with a dark, dangerous and seemingly impossible task: that of locating and destroying Voldemort’s remaining Horcruxes. Never has Harry felt so alone, or faced a future so full of shadows. But Harry must somehow find within himself the strength to complete the task he has been given. He must leave the warmth, safety, and companionship of The Burrow and follow without fear or hesitation the inexorable path laid out for him. In this final, seventh installment of the Harry Potter series, J.K. Rowling unveils in spectacular fashion the answers to the many questions that have been so eagerly awaited. The spellbinding, richly woven narrative, which plunges, twists and turns at a breathtaking pace, confirms the author as a mistress of storytelling, whose books will be read, reread and read again.

Back Cover:

Harry is waiting in Privet Drive. The Order of the Phoenix is coming to escort him safely away without Voldemort and his supporters knowing – if they can. But what will Harry do then? How can he fulfil the momentous and seemingly impossible task that Professor Dumbledore has left him with?

U.S. editions

Scholastic has also released the details of the American cover. For the fourth time (and the first since Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban), the cover is a wraparound, meaning that it comprises a single image spanning over the entire front, back and spine of the book. David Saylor, art director at Scholastic, describes the cover as:[20]

The structures around Harry show evident destruction and in the shadows behind him, we see outlines of other people. On the back cover, spidery hands are outstretched toward Harry. Only when the book is opened does one see a powerful image of He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named, his glowing red eyes peering out from his hood.

Mary GrandPré, the illustrator of the U.S. edition books, has not used a monochromatic colour scheme, as she did with Order of the Phoenix (blue hues) and Half-Blood Prince (green hues). Instead, she has reverted back to the colour schemes of the first four books.

The U.S. Deluxe Edition features a different cover picture, with Harry and company flying on the back of a dragon.

Choice of title

File:Hp dh hangman.JPG
The book's title revealed on J. K. Rowling's website.

Shortly before the release of the title, JK Rowling announced that she had considered three different titles for the book.[21][22] The final title "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" was released to the public on December 21 2006 via a special Christmas-themed hangman puzzle on Rowling's website, confirmed shortly afterwards by the book's publishers.[23] The particular date has given rise to some interest, due to two prophecies included in Order of the Phoenix, that state "...at the solstice will come a new... and none will come after..."[24]

When asked "What does 'Deathly Hallows' mean?" J.K. Rowling responded, "Any clarification of the meaning of 'Hallows' would give away too much of the story - well, it would, wouldn't it? Being the title and all. So I'm afraid I'm not answering."[25] She also declined to say what her two other shortlisted titles had been, at least until after publication. The phrase "Deathly Hallows" was trademarked under the name "Stone Connect (UK) Limited" on December 5, 2006, along with 5 other phrases.[26] It was later denied that any of the others had ever been contenders for the actual title.[27] The word "hallows" had already appeared in phrases registered by representatives of Warner Brothers before publication of Half-Blood Prince. "Hallows of Hogwarts" and "Hogwarts Hallows" were registered as trademarks by Seabottom Productions Ltd in 2003-2004, amongst a number of fake titles.Cite error: A <ref> tag is missing the closing </ref> (see the help page).

Hallow is a word usually used as a verb, meaning "to make holy or sacred, to sanctify or consecrate, to venerate".[28] However, in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, the word hallows appears as a noun. In modern English, the word is used as a noun in "All Hallows' Day" or "All Saints' Day," which is the day after Halloween or "All Hallows' Eve". Hallows can refer to saints, the relics of saints, the relics of gods, or shrines in which the relics are kept.[29][30] Since the essence of these saints or gods were often considered present at their shrines and in their relics, hallows came to refer to the saints or gods themselves, rather than just their relics or shrines. Hallow is not to be confused with hollow, such as in Godric's Hollow.

Following the difficulties experienced by the book's translators in adapting the title to their own language, since the definition of 'Hallows' is not clear, the Swedish interpreters announced that Rowling had offered the alternative title Harry Potter and the Relics of Death, which in Swedish is rendered as Harry Potter och dödsrelikerna. Japan also experienced difficulties translating the title and used the alternative title, too. Translated from Japanese, the title is: "Harry Potter and the Secret Treasure of Death".[31][32][33]

Marketing campaigns

Scholastic Inc., the American publisher of the Harry Potter series, has launched a multi million dollar "there will soon be 7" marketing campaign involving a 'Knight Bus' that travels to libraries around the country, online fan discussions and competitions, collectible bookmarks, and tattoos. [34] This marks one of the biggest marketing campaigns in publishing history.

Unresolved plot elements from previous books

  • Harry will return to the home of his Muggle relatives, the Dursleys (whose cooperation has been requested by Albus Dumbledore), during the school holiday. The magical protection Dumbledore arranged, which requires Harry to have a home with them, is set to expire on his upcoming birthday, when he comes of age.Template:HBP
  • Harry plans to visit the remains of his parents' home in Godric's Hollow. Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger plan on accompanying him on this trip,Template:HBP but it is not clear how he will get there as Wormtail was the secret keeper of the house. Although, being a resident of the house at the time of the secrecy, this might not be a problem.
  • It is unclear what will happen to Hogwarts after the attack on the school at the end of Half-Blood Prince, but Harry has said he will leave school to continue his battle against Voldemort. If the school reopens, replacements will be required for Severus Snape (Defence Against the Dark Arts instructor and head of Slytherin house) along with Potions teacher, Horace Slughorn, who stated he would only be teaching one year at Hogwarts; and possibly Minerva McGonagall (Transfiguration instructor, head of Gryffindor house and deputy Headmistress) in the event that she becomes Headmistress.Template:HBP Template:HBP
  • Wormtail still owes Harry a life debt which hasn't been resolved yet.
  • There is no explanation at the end of Half-Blood Prince as to the true identity of the mysterious "R.A.B.", who claimed to have stolen one of Voldemort's Horcruxes, a locket, with the intent to destroy it, while replacing it with a fake locket, later recovered by Harry and Dumbledore.Template:HBP Rowling said Regulus Black was "a fine guess" for R.A.B.'s identity in an interview.[35]
  • Snape's loyalties remain unclear. Although he apparently kills Dumbledore in the Half-Blood Prince, it is not known whether this furthered a plan of Voldemort's or Dumbledore's. Snape owes a life debt to Harry's father, James, and has saved Harry's life twice.[36] The question of whether Snape is good or evil has also been presented as a major marketing element for the book, with competing posters proclaiming him as either a hero or a villain.

Information from Rowling

  • Rowling drafted the last chapter of the book several years ago, to give herself an ending to work up to. The last word of the last chapter of the book was said to be scar, according to Rowling in a 1999 interview.[37] She also suggested the last chapter and last word could change. This last chapter contains details of what happens to each surviving character:

    This is the thing that I was very dubious about showing you... this is the final chapter of book seven. This is really where I wrap everything up, it's the epilogue. And I basically say what happens to everyone after they leave school - those who survive - because there are deaths - more deaths coming. It was a way of saying to myself, 'Well, you will get it, you will get to book seven one day. And then you'll need this!' So I'd just like to remind all the children I know who come around my house and start sneaking into cupboards that it's not there anymore - I don't keep it at home anymore for very, very, very obvious reasons. So there it is.[38]

  • Rowling has stated that there will be no Quidditch matches in Deathly Hallows.[39]
  • J. K. Rowling said in 2001 that Harry might get another pet at some point.[40] Although Buckbeak may have filled this role (Harry obtained possession of the Hippogriff after the death of Sirius Black, albeit under Hagrid's care), she also hinted that Fawkes, Dumbledore's phoenix, might have another role.[41]
  • We will learn something very important about Lily:
Now, the important thing about Harry's mother - the really, really significant thing - you're going to find out in two parts. You'll find out a lot more about her in book five, or you'll find out something very significant about her in book five, and you'll find out something incredibly important about her in book seven." – J. K. Rowling[42]
  • Rowling has long said that the fact that Harry's eyes resemble his mother's is "very important."[43]
  • Severus Snape has been an important and enigmatic character throughout the books, as his true loyalty has always remained unclear. It is to be anticipated that as a surviving major character, his loyalty will be settled in the final confrontation of the book.[44][45]
Questioner: There’s an important kind of redemptive pattern to Snape.
Rowling: He, um, there’s so much I wish I could say to you, and I can't because it would ruin. I promise you, whoever asked that question, can I just say to you that I'm slightly stunned that you've said that and you'll find out why I'm so stunned if you read Book Seven. That's all I’m going to say.[42]
  • At the Edinburgh book festival, Rowling mentioned that something more would be revealed about Petunia Dursley. Nothing of note occurred in book 6, so this remains to be discovered.[46]
"..there is a little bit more to Aunt Petunia than meets the eye...She is not a squib, although that is a very good guess. Oh, I am giving a lot away here. I am being shockingly indiscreet."
Rowling repeated this comment at the Radio City charity reading in August 2006.[47] She clarified by stating that Aunt Petunia will not perform magic.[48]
  • Rowling has said that some non-magical character will perform magic late in life under desperate circumstances.[49] However, Petunia will not be the one to perform magic (see above).
  • Also at Edinburgh, Rita Skeeter was mentioned: "She is loathsome . . . but I can't help admiring her toughness. . . . There is more to come on Rita."[46]
  • On Dolores Umbridge, "It's too much fun to torture her not to have another little bit more before I finish"[39]
  • Rowling has said that Ginny Weasley is quite powerful, that we have seen a taste of that in the past, and we will see it again.[39]
  • Kreacher, the former Black Family house elf which passed to Harry's ownership with the death of Sirius Black, may make an appearance. Rowling told the filmmakers of Order of the Phoenix to include the character in the movie, because he is "very important."[51]
  • The two-way mirror given to Harry by Sirius Black and his flying motorbike will return.[50] In fact, Rowling has mentioned in one of her FAQs that the two way mirror "will help more than you think." Rowling refused to comment whether Sirius himself might in some way reappear, but she has also said that there was a reason why he had to die.[52]
  • Dumbledore was said to have a "gleam of triumph" in his eyes when told that Voldemort had restored his body using Harry's blood, at the end of Goblet of Fire (Ch. 36). Rowling has confirmed that this is "still enormously significant".[54]
  • Rowling revealed in a 1999 interview that one of Harry's classmates will become a Hogwarts teacher, though not Harry himself and 'not who you think'. When asked, Rowling also ruled out Ron. This implies that Hogwarts will re-open at some point.[42]
  • In an interview after the completion of the Prisoner of Azkaban film, she commented that director Alfonso Cuarón had "put things in the film that, without knowing it, foreshadow things that are going to happen in the final two books. So I really got goosebumps when I saw a couple of those things, and I thought people are going to look back on the film and think those were put in deliberately as clues."[55]
  • There are indications that at least two of the main characters will die. In a June 2006 interview about the previously-written ending, Rowling stated that:
"One character got a reprieve, but I have to say two die that I didn't intend to die...A price has to be paid. We are dealing with pure evil...They go for the main characters...well, I do".[15]
  • When further questioned in June 2006 about authors who kill off their main characters, Rowling said "I can completely understand, however, the mentality of an author who thinks, well, I'm going to kill them off because that means there can be no non-author-written sequels".[15]
  • Rowling clarified that "Dumbledore is definitely dead", when asked by Sir Salman Rushdie and others at Radio City Music Hall in New York City. Rowling answered the same question three times, each time with increasing conviction.[56] However, on the set of the Order of the Phoenix film, she remarked; "Dumbledore's giving me a lot of trouble". When asked "But isn't he dead?" by Daniel Radcliffe, she explained; "Well, yeah, but it's more complex ...."[57]
  • When asked what questions she should have been asked, she admitted that "the final book contains a couple of pieces of information that I don't think you could guess at", and declined to explain further.[47] On 13 September, 2006 she updated her website saying that when she was asked that question, her mind went blank. Since she couldn't make amends, she created a NAQ section of her website, in tribute to the girl who asked the question. In her NAQ section, she states:
"Why did Dumbledore have James' invisibility cloak at the time of James' death, given that Dumbledore could make himself invisible without a cloak?"
On 29 September 2006, she revealed that Severus Snape was not under the cloak the night of the Potters' death in the Rumours Section of her website.
  • Asked which five of her characters she would like to invite to dinner, she chose Harry, Hermione and Ron, but then hesitated before choosing her last characters, saying "See... I know who's actually dead," unsure whether she was permitted to invite those who are 'dead'.[47]
  • Lord Voldemort was voted best villain at the Big Bad Read poll. Responding to the news Rowling commented:
"I hope those of you who voted for him in the big bad read enjoy reading about him in book seven, where he finally gets the leg room for which he has been aching all those years in exile."[58]

After Deathly Hallows

As of 2007, Rowling has been working on the Harry Potter stories for 17 years.

  • In a 2000 interview through Scholastic, Rowling stated that there isn't a university after Hogwarts and that she did not plan on further Harry Potter books:[59]
Q: Do you think that you will write about Harry after he graduates from Hogwarts? Isn't there a University of Wizardry?
A: No, there's no University for Wizards. At the moment I'm only planning to write seven Harry Potter books. I won't say "never," but I have no plans to write an eighth book.
  • When asked about other books similar to Quidditch Through the Ages and Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, she has said that she would consider writing them at some point and that they would also be written for charity. She has suggested an encyclopedia-style tome containing information that never made it to the books, also for charitable purposes.".[15] Cite error: A <ref> tag is missing the closing </ref> (see the help page).
Jeremy Paxman: So you know what is going to become of all the major characters over the span of the series?
J.K. Rowling: Yeah...yeah.
Jeremy Paxman: Why stop when they grow up? Might be interesting to know what becomes of Harry as an adult.
J.K. Rowling: How do you know he'll still be alive?
Jeremy Paxman: Oh. At the end of book seven?
J.K. Rowling: It would be one way to kill off the merchandising.
  • Rowling issued the following statement about finishing the final book on her website:[9]

I always knew that Harry's story would end with the seventh book, but saying goodbye has been just as hard as I always knew it would be. Even while I'm mourning, though, I feel an incredible sense of achievement. 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.
Some of you have expressed a (much more muted!) mixture of happiness and sadness at the prospect of the last book being published, and that has meant more than I can tell you. If it comes as any consolation, I think that there will be plenty to continue arguing and speculating about, even after Deathly Hallows comes out.

Hacked Electronic Copy

On June, 21 2007 a hacker claimed to have a electronic copy by hacking into a publishing house. It reads as follows.

Dear my brothers,

Voldemort killed Hermione. Yes, that's true. And we knew that 2 days ago.

This is the end of the not yet published (someone could call that 0day) book

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows .

At the end of the story Hagrid was killed by Snape in the attempt of ambush Hermione and Ron. Ron and Hermione flees in privet drive but Voldermort, surprising them, engaged a magical duel with Ron and Hermione.

Voldemort attacked trough the imperius curse and Hermione, to protect the life of Ron fight hardly for more than 6 pages and then finally die. (boring, very boring... it's always the same story!)

Then, to make a long story short, Harry came up, killed all the bad guys and Hogwarts against became a good place to stay and have fun.

Ah, i missed one important information about Draco Malfoy, he started to create Horcrux (for fun and profit!).

The end.
