Seventh Harry Potter Book Named

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the and-the-last dept.

Croakyvoice writes "JK Rowling has today given fans of the Harry Potter books the name of Book 7 of the very popular series via a Christmas present on her site, to get to the name you need to follow a complicated procedure but thankfully the name of the book has been revealed as Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows."

    To mirror the opening chapter of the first book, "The Boy Who Lived", the final chapter will be "The Boy Who Died." In it, despite the name, Harry Potter will kill all women on the face of the planet, thus dooming the human race -- muggle and magic alike.

    Isn't Slashdot's motto "News for Nerds. Stuff that Matters."? This seems to be neither...

    Enough witht he Harry Potter bashing, if you don't like them, don't read them.

    Jesus, it's not like you're in some small persecuted minority.

    Don't go off with your "If you don't like it, ignore it" crap. I'm sorry people on a discussion site don't all (*cough*) jump into some big circle-jerk when the title of some junk book is mentioned.

    What about "Harry Potter and the Pretentious Fuck"?

    (except MAYBE someday she'll publish all her unpublished notes that didn't make it into the books, or got changed before they made it into the books, etc.)

    Naw. Her son Christopher Rowling will publish all the notes in a big edited conglomeration called 'The Potterillion' and then commence publishing a bunch of other junk with the word Christopher small and the word Rowling in huge text on the cover.
