It’s only ‘movie news’ in a tangential sorta way, but I know how you guys love this crazy Harold Potter series so here’s the scoop: The seventh and final book ("Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows") will hit bookstores on July 21st — and I’ll go on record with the prediction that it’ll make a lot of money.
In a display of really profitable corporate synergy, the book will hit shelves only a week before the movie version of "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" hits multiplexes.
The seventh book comes complete with a whole bunch of fan-frenzy rumors: Many believe that author JK Rowling means to kill Potter off at the end of the book, but according to The Hollywood Reporter, fellow authors John Irving and Stephen King have come to the young wizard’s defense. Needless to say, this book’s gonna fly off the shelves at a record pace … and it won’t need any help from witchcraft to do it.
