Final Harry Potter book due out in July news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070201/...people_rowling
LONDON - " Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows," the last of seven installments of the boy wizard's adventures, will be published July 21, author J.K. Rowling said Thursday.
Rowling announced the publication date on her Web site.
Bloomsbury, her British publisher, said it would publish a children's hardback edition, an adult hardback, a special gift edition and an audio book on the same day.
Scholastic Children's Books, the U.S. publisher, said it would offer a hardback edition at a suggested retail price of $34.99, a deluxe edition at $65.00 and a reinforced library edition at $39.99.
Bloomsbury noted that this year is the 10th anniversary of the publication of the first "Harry Potter" book in the phenomenally successful series.
The "Potter" books have sold 325 million copies worldwide and been translated into 64 languages, Bloomsbury said.
The last book, "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince," sold 2,009,574 copies in Britain on the first day of its release, Bloomsbury said.
The Potter franchise is so important to the company's earnings that it announced the publication to the London Stock Exchange.
Bloomsbury shares were up 2.2 percent to $4.40 after the announcement.

It's about learning to dance in the rain
Where are we going...and... WHY are we in a handbasket?

Oh gosh...
Last time Beorn was at camp when an HP book was released, I had it shipped to him from amazon. Wild about Potter (Beorn's at the bottom of the article)
But I refused to buy a second copy. and spent the release day and the next day at Borders reading a copy from opening to closing. I had no idea about the release parties then.
If we get the funding together this year, Beorn will be away at camp on July 21st (and on the movie release date as well). Perhaps I'll make him wait until he comes home to get the book and see the movie on the same day.
I have no problem going to the release party on my own...
