The Baltimore Sun was able to get a copy of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, BEFORE THE RELEASE DATE.
Information on the Baltimore Sun article. They don’t spoil the ending for you, though they do give more information than I was willing to risk reading. READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!!
All the bookstores are getting HP7 before Saturday. But they had to sign release forms saying they would NOT put it out before Saturday July 21st, 12:01 am. That means that any online retailers ALSO cannot provide it to their customers until JULY 21st AT 12:01 AM!!!!! How hard is this???? EVERY single HP that had an embargo had this problem. (Remember the ENTIRE truck that was taken?)
I understand that problems happen, but seriously, this is HARRY POTTER. The last book that Harry will ever get by J.K. Rowling.
(Probably…
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.
Couldn’t we have stepped it up? Oh well. I am still eagerly awaiting HP7, and remember, even if you are spoiled, it is the JOURNEY, not the DESTINATION that is important.
(Deluxe Cover… ooooooh)

Just a short tidbit. I wanted to show you the two covers for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (July 21st if you’ve forgotten…).
The United States cover, in all it’s wrap around glory….
The British Cover… but side note, I haven’t heard much about this. Not 100% official news here on this cover…
That’s all today folks! Remember, SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL INDEPENDENT BOOKSHOP and please, for the LOVE OF ALL THAT IS HOLY AND PRECIOUS, do not buy it BEFORE July 21st.
EMBARGO EMBARGO EMBARGO!!!

Ah the joy of eating my words.
You may remember me saying, “there is no way they will release Book Seven and Movie Five in the same month.”
Um… yeah, sorry about that! Apparently they just won’t release Book Seven FIRST.. So Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows will be released on July 21st, 2007.
Fun Facts from Answers.com
* The last chapter was written back in 1999; it dealt with “what happens to the survivors afterward”; the last word is scar; this chapter will still be tweaked
* The book will contain a lot of the back story of the Potters
* Aunt Petunia has never performed magic, and never will, but there’s more to her than meets the eye; the letter left with Harry on the doorstep was not the first one Dumbledore sent Petunia
* The Sorting Hat is not a horcrux, but there’s more to it than what we’ve read in the first books
* “Ravenclaw will have their day”
* No book character has returned from the future
* There is significance to the fact that Harry has his mother’s eyes
* There is a frighteningly large universe of Harry Potter fan sites which, among other things, collect and analyze interviews with JK Rowling

Who, at this point, has NOT read Harry Potter? Well, if you have not read it, I am sure you have at least HEARD about it.
Just a little post to say that Harry Potter #7 will not be called, Harry Potter and the Total and Complete Blood Bath, like I supposed. It will actually be called,
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
If you don’t believe me, you can go to The Leaky Cauldron and read more.
From the same site, I thought this was funny,
Jo Rowling has said it would be the size of the Encyclopedia Brittanica; however, she also said, during the TLC/MN interview, that she feels it will be shorter than Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.
So, what’s going to happen? Beats us. There’s a big fight with Voldemort coming, we know that.
There is still no laydown date for HP#7, but the chances of it being released on 07/07/07 are even MORE unlikely now that Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix(the movie) is being released on the 13th of July. There is no way a book like HP#7 and HP#5 the movie will be released so close together.
I feel like Veruca Salt in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, “But I want it NOW.”
