Harry Potter's final secret: The Deathly Hallows
Few days before Christmas (Link), the British author JK Rowling (Link) has revealed the title of the final Harry Potter book - 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows'.
Fans of the schoolboy wizard series discovered the title of the highly anticipated seventh book after finding and solving a hidden puzzle posted by the British author on her website (Link).
Rowling's publishing house, Bloomsbury (Link), has confirmed the title but refused to reveal when the next instalment will hit shelves.
The 41-year-old author has not yet finished the manuscript, which will take about six months to edit, so the earliest publication date is being touted as next summer.
Rowling recently revealed that she has mixed feelings about finishing the final chapter of the Potter saga.
She said: "I am now writing scenes I have planned for a dozen years.
"I feel alternately elated and overwrought. I both want, and don't want, to finish this book. But don't worry - I will."

Very sad...The author had already indicated that two characters would be killed off in the final book. She did not rule out that one of the two would be the lead character, Potter himself.
I guess Harry Potter grew up and this is the reason to end the story. But there is no need to kill him.
I have read that Forbes estimated Rowlings' wealth at more than 1 billion dollars, making her the first person ever to become a billionaire from writing books.
She can maybe continue to write about adult wizards ....I will miss Harry Potter
And I have read that the first four books have been made into films which have grossed more than 3.5 billion dollars at the box office.
Any way my kids loved and we didn't knew the tittle for the sevents book, so thank a ton for sharing it.
I am sure she must have have kids same age and they inspire her to write the books. No way otherwise t come up with such stories...
