I just wanted to clarify an edit I just made. The statement was that the release would be one minute after midnight ''local time'' for locations in the United States, and one minute after midnight ''BST'' in the UK "and other English-speaking countries". I work at a book store here in Canada, and I can say for certain that we're also observing the "local time" release. For example, folks in my previous home of Prince Edward Island will have access to the book a full 3 hours before our store is allowed to sell it here in Alberta. - [[User:68.146.226.69|68.146.226.69]] 20:21, 16 July 2007 (UTC) |

Revision as of 05:44, 17 July 2007
This always happens. I make a plan, it looks nice and neat, then I get to actually write the book and realise that Harry can't possibly do all that in just one chapter. So what I thought were going to be two chapters have now become four. I still don't think the book will be as long as 'Phoenix', but if that keeps happening... no, it won't. I'm looking at the plan, and it can't. Surely. Please. Discuss
I think that this might mean that this book will be as long a Pheniox! I wish it was longer than an unabrdiged dictionary of all languages including slang words (LOL). Chris Chaud 21:23, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
- In the past, I'd heard that JK Rowling said that book 7 will be as long as Encyclopedia Britannica, and at other times, simply just "very long." I don't see how it could be shorter than OotP.
last word
- Er...isn't the last word supposively Scar, not Potter?
- True, that should be fixed
- According to Mugglenet on July 6, 2007: Scar is no longer the last word. It was for a while, but has since changed.
I think (I feel) that ‘the prophecy’ has long been fulfilled...
Voldemort was ‘vanquished’ years ago, on the night when Harry got that‘scar’...
...but neither can still live, when the other 'survives'...

name of the book
i understand the name was given on JKR's site, but since i missed it, does anyone know if the flash game is still available somewhere? I'd very much like to see it with my own eyes... :D -- 86.121.160.187 12:23, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

"spoilers"
While I am not personally bothered if I find out key information about this final book before I get the chance to read it, and I don't have an objection to "spoilers" being contained in articles if they're well-labelled, I think that until the book is actually released, we should leave out any information that comes from "leaked" copies, since these are unverifiable and unreliable. Faked images claiming to be scans from "leaked" copies have surfaced, and I think that between now and Saturday, any spoilers from "leaked" copies should be deleted immediately.
