The title of Book 7!
Presenting your Christmas present from Jo Rowling:

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows


Thank you, Jo, and Merry Christmas to you and your family!

Analyze the title: Debate and discussion about the title is currently taking place over at our forums - go check it out!

The release date: Find out when we think Book 7 will be released, now that we have a title.

EDIT: Some news outlets are reporting the title as "Deathly Hollows," but this is incorrect. Also, for those of you who hadn't noticed, the title was released yesterday on the winter solstice. Recall in OOTP: "...at the solstice will come a new... and none will come after..." At the winter solstice, a new title will be revealed, but as this is the last book, no more will be released.

HOW does harry leave the dursleys in the sorecers/philosphers stone


Posted by gandalfxj9 Dec 21st 2006

David Yates, director of the fifth Potter flick, said in Empire Magazine in the December issue that he would cut about 40 minutes of footage out of the 3 hours he has already shot. Lets have justice done to the book! Sign the petition to support the movie being 3 hours or longer! Here's the petition http://www.petitionspot.c om/petitions/Harry_Potter _Order_of_Phoenix

Posted by Moaning_Myrtle Dec 21st 2006

I just read it!!!!!!!! Wonderful choice Jo! Definetely a good title- a bit intriguing but very interesting. Anything to do with godric's hallow? or........ i dunno! this is even more confusing than if we didn't have the title at al! ~moaning myrtle----- WAIT!!!!!!! I said i wasn't going to moan! = ) ~Cheerefully Merry Myrtle


Posted by barb_grint Dec 21st 2006

If I am going to be honest...the title sucks and it doesn't go with the rest of the series. I cried I was soo happy to have a title. I would be much happier if it isn't this one. Thank the lord this title hasn't been confirmed. I hope this isn't the title.


Posted by RhiannonMei Dec 21st 2006

This is just... amazing. I never expected to learn the title of the book so early on. It was a complete surprise to me when a friend e-mailed me with the news. This is such an AWESOME Christmas present. If you don't celebrate Christmas, it's really awesome anyway. Atfirst I thought something would happen at Godric's Hollow, but then I realized that the title was "Hallows" not "Hollows". So maybe something to do with Saint Hallow's Eve? Halloween? Jo tends to like to have things happen on Halloween. But the "Deathly" part... shiver. I really don't want Harry to lose another person close to him. What's it been so far? Three in a row? I can't wait to read the book! Even though the title's kind of depressing.

Posted by witch_geek Dec 21st 2006

Stop saying OMG! haha! Anyway, random question, but what's the title of the song on JK's site? The one for christmas? Cause it's really nice..................... .................haha! :) Please ANSWER.


Posted by dobbyroxmysox Dec 21st 2006

barb_grint ===========THIS ISNT THE CONFIRMED TITLE???????????????????? ?????????????????WHATWHAT WHATWHHATWHATWHATWHATWHAT WHAT??


Posted by witch_geek Dec 21st 2006

Actually, it being on Jo's site means that it IS confirmed..get it? So, don't worry, dobbyroxmysox. :)


Posted by jay4034 Dec 21st 2006

i hate to bust almost everyones bubble, but i remember when the room of requirement opened two years ago to tell us that the title of the sixth book was HBP july 7th. we didnt get the book until a over a year later july 16. jo will probably do the same to us this time around. no chance of a summer 07 release, sorry.


Posted by Celebwen Dec 21st 2006

EEEEEEEEE I am so excited!! I KNEW she would give it to us for Christmas!! Jo, you are the BEST! I am so excited I can hardly type! I immediately went upstairs to tell my mom- she wasn't nearly interested enough. Stupid non-obsessives. HOLY HORCRUX!!! There's no way I'm sleeping tonight!!


Posted by leon_cita Dec 21st 2006

Ohhh my- GOD!!! I can't believe it!!! Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows... WOW. I absolutely LOVE it! It's unbelievable how all these years we've been waiting for it, and finally the day comes... WOW... BOOK 7... Not many people can give such gifts. Thank you, Jo.


Posted by xxcrazedpotterfanxx Dec 21st 2006

Ohmygod!! I am soo excited! I cant wait for the next book to come out! OMG this is the greatest christmas ever!


Posted by mpham Dec 21st 2006

omg yay!!! i can't wait!! Im trying to distinguish between deadly and deathly. would it of made any difference? I think that if it was deadly hallows then it would mean that the hallows are dangerous and can result in death. Deathly however... prob means theres lot of deathly presence? maybe??? AAA cnt wait to read it!


Posted by Anne990821 Dec 21st 2006

This is the definition that I found for hallows on the internet: the beginning of the Witches' Year, when the Veil Between the Worlds grows thin and the spirits of the dead may return to Earth Maybe that's how Sirius will come back


Posted by moonyrocks Dec 21st 2006

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG i went nuts when i saw this and it didn't help that my computer was slow and that i had to use my dads. me being the harry potter expert i have had to deal with many calls from friends and im going nuts. i was thinkin is the deathly hallows in reference to the day when james and lily died or is the final battle perhaps on halloween. which would be so awesome if that happened. even tho i want to believe the second one the first is more probable. there is always a chapter that is the same as the title, and that chapter normally appears early in the book. i believe will revisit that horrible day of 10/31/1981 probaly thru a final trip in the pensieve. the person who owns that memory may relate to the famous invisibility cloak question hmmmmmmm. lots of speculation. i know no one is reading this but i want to write my thoughts down in front of me. if you did thanks and please comment on it.


Posted by Lauryyyyy123 Dec 21st 2006

Oh my effing god. Micah got results! Again! Micah, youre my hero!


Posted by jay4034 Dec 21st 2006

could the deathly hallows be whats behind the veil?


Posted by moonyrocks Dec 21st 2006

jay4034 brings up a good argument tooo agh i dont know what to believe the book should just come out now. i read a while ago that jkrowling has this superstition about not releasing a title until she has finished the book. but i dont know if she is superstitious anymore considering two days ago she was still writing. she could have realeased it today to fufill the prophecy. "at the solstice will come a new" "and none will come after" (or something like that). umm today is the winter solstice!!!!! a new title has come and none will come after. hmmmmmmm coinkidink? probably but i thought it was cool


Posted by downyegg Dec 21st 2006

It takes a bit to sink in, doesn't it? We have the title for book seven... except it's not just book seven, it's Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows now... ooh, excitement... now what about a cover, hmm?


Posted by jay4034 Dec 21st 2006

very nice observation moony, i didnt even take that into consideration. i seriously stick by my wait a year theory though (sad as it is)


Posted by obsessions Dec 21st 2006

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I really don't want it to end!!!!!! I'm so depressed and excited, umm... depcited? Oh well, I LOVE HARRY POTTER!!!!!!!!!!!


Posted by pink_allegria Dec 21st 2006

Wow. Comments are plenty and counting! This is crazy stuff, our fandom. Deathly Hallows certainly hasn't put off anyone. And probably won't, considering how many people's Christmases it's made.


Posted by annie_hazza23 Dec 21st 2006

This is so cool!! The title has come out pretty soon tho...and its pretty ambiguous...very ambiguous...I don't really want to overanalize it tho, cause then it myt wreck the book. But....OMG!!!! This is rlly great!!!!!! GOOO HAZZAAA!!!!!! hey mon :P This is so cool!! The title has come out pretty soon tho... My initial thought was Halloween...but he wouldn't die then(not that i know if he WILL die), cause it's too early in the book. Maybe something major happens on Halloween...Harry's parents died on Halloween, in the first book he was nearly attacked by a troll, 2nd book he went to a DEATHDAY party, 3rd book the fat lady was attacked(harry thinks Sirius was going to kill him) 4th book harry's name comes out of the goblet of fire which puts him in danger................... ................


Posted by mpham Dec 21st 2006

hey rada (annie_hazza23) lol i hav to post again!!! lol i can't wait!! the book must be coming out soon then definetely next year some time i hope....


Posted by Deana Dec 21st 2006
