is anyone else excited??

The cover for the final Harry Potter book, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, has been released, and shows the boy wizard as a teenager reaching for the sky. All the information you could possibly want is online at http://www.the-leaky-cauldron.org/.

The seventh and last book in author JK Rowling's popular series was designed by illustrator Mary GrandPre, US publisher Scholastic Inc announced. Scholastic's art director David Saylor said the book would have a wraparound cover - a first for the Potter series. "On the back cover spidery hands are outstretched toward Harry," Saylor said. "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." (note that information is relating to the US cover - I am showing the English cover here as that is the one we seem to get here first).

More than 325 million copies of the Harry Potter books have been sold worldwide. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is scheduled for a worldwide release on July 21 and my plan is to buy the book on the day it comes out and not put it down until my eyes can't take it anymore.........
