JK Rowling has released the title of the final Harry Potter book: HP and the Deathly Hallows.

I found this out last night at like, 12:30am when I was watching Late Night with Conan O'Brian. He made this joke that went like (and I am paraphrasing):

"So the author JK Rowling has announced the title of her next book in the Harry Potter series: 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows'. This title won over her other possible title 'Harry Potter is 40'."

I *think* that's how it went. At least that's what I heard. Anyway, I don't really understand that joke. I think I get it, but it's not funny and doesn't really make sense. But anyway, there it is.

Apparently she hasn't said when it will be published, or how long it is.

I'm not holding my breath anymore. We used to really wait for the new HPs up to vol IV, I think, after that, it took so long for the next vol. to be finished, that meanwhile, we had all but forgotten about it.

i gave up reading the books when the films started appearing. who knows whether i'll watch the last. i'm sure the spoilers will start coming out soon and then nobody will need to read it or see the film of it if that appears to.
