万众瞩目的《哈利波特》大结局——《哈利波特与死圣》终于在7月21日揭开了她神秘的面纱。不论是该书的哈迷,还是该书的作者J.K.罗琳,都感觉非常失落,因为陪伴大家多年的哈利波特至此完成了他的使命。在大结局问世后首次现身伦敦签售并接受采访的她表示:“在写完《哈7》之后,自己感觉就像失去亲人一样的难受。”谈及未来,她表示,“我再也写不出这么受欢迎的书了……我会做些跟写《哈利波特》时相同的事——写些自己真的想写的东西,如果那跟《哈》相似,那没问题,如果很不相同,那也没问题。”
如今靠《哈利波特》小说名成利就的罗琳完成结局篇后可说是一身轻,不必再承受出版社催稿的压力,也可拋开书迷的殷切期望,目前她与丈夫和3名子女居于苏格兰爱丁堡,过着平静的生活。
《哈利波特7》畅销殃及电影 影迷看书不去影院??新浪网]??? 2007-07-23??? 娱乐
据国外媒体23日报道,全球最大在线销售网站“亚马逊”和美国最大连锁书店巴诺(Barnes&Noble)均宣布,《哈利·波特与死圣》的预订量超过100万册。在一个披头士乐队式的疯狂时刻,亚马逊网站22日当天畅销商品排行榜前七位均是与“哈利·波特”有关的产品,如《哈利·波特与死圣》CD。
《哈利·波特与死圣》在全美引发的狂潮让负责出品哈利·波特系列影片的美国华纳兄弟影业公司有点儿坐不住了。该公司承认,“哈利·波特”系列电影之五《哈利·波特与凤凰社》的票房受到一些影响,因为“哈迷”已经忙地不可开交,哪有时间到电影院看电影。华纳兄弟影业公司发行部主任丹·菲尔曼表示:“他们希望在周六就买到那本书,然后将自己关在房间内,沉迷于哈利·波特的魔幻世界。他们可不希望自己的朋友捷足先登,在周一比自己先知道故事内容。”
如失去亲人般痛苦
“哈迷”对《哈利·波特与死圣》这本书的评价几乎是异口同声的溢美之词,尽管一些“捣蛋者”在网上提前泄密了大结局,但仍无法阻挡读者对它的热情,一如既往对哈利·波特充满期待。“哈迷”网站的版主梅利莎·安妮尔说:“这本书情节引人入胜,我想在搞明白《哈利·波特7》全部内容之前,起码先大致浏览一遍。我认为书中充满了最令人激动、最令人惊喜的时刻。”
安妮尔说,她在周六一天一口气儿就读完了759页的《哈利·波特与死圣。她说:“合上书,我既狂喜又失落,故事情节和故事展开的方式不禁令人折服,失落之处在于这个童话就此结束了。感觉就像失去亲人般难受,感觉就像同多年至交说再见。”
20岁的纽约州立大学电影系学生安娜·托德也是一名忠实的“哈迷”,为了早一点看到“哈利·波特”,她周六午夜就到巴诺连锁书店在曼哈顿的联合广场排队取书。她在晚上时断时续小睡了几觉,并最终得偿所愿,拿到了《哈利·波特与死圣》。托德说:“J.K.罗琳确实没有令读者失望。我想她真是太棒了。有时,我害怕一直读下去,因为读完就只能永远地同‘哈利·波特’告别了,这种感觉真是难受。”
她不禁哀叹,“我永远不会再彻夜看新的《哈利·波特》书了,也永远不会再体验半夜排队购书的经历了,永远不会再编造有关哈利的各种荒诞说法了。一切都就此结束了。感觉就好像是与最好、最亲的一个朋友永别。我能做就是一遍遍地阅读,将来我有孩子的时候,我会同他们一起分享这些书。我期待那一天早日到来。”

The Final Chapter
The pubdate of the seventh and final Harry Potter book has been announced, and the rumours are already circulating - what are the Deathly Hallows? Who will make it through to the end? This special edition of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is for any major fan of the series, offering a luxury jacket and binding, this is set to make the perfect present for any muggle!
FromPublishers Weekly
Potter fans, relax—this review packs no spoilers. Instead, we’re taking advantage of our public platform to praise Rowling for the excellence of her plotting. We can’t think of anyone else who has sustained such an intricate, endlessly inventive plot over seven thick volumes and so constantly surprised us with twists, well-laid traps and Purloined Letter-style tricks. Hallows continues the tradition, both with sly feats of legerdemain and with several altogether new, unexpected elements. Perhaps some of the surprises in Hallows don’t have quite the punch as those of earlier books, but that may be because of the thoroughness and consistency with which Rowling has created her magical universe, and because we’ve so raptly absorbed its rules.
We’re also seizing the occasion to wish out loud that her editors had done their jobs more actively. It’s hard to escape the notion that the first three volumes were more carefully edited than the last four. Hallows doesn’t contain the extraneous scenes found in, say, Goblet of Fire, but the momentum is uneven. Rowling is much better at comedy than at fight scenes, and no reader of the sixth book will be startled to hear that Hallows has little humor or that its characters engage in more than a few fights. Surely her editors could have helped her find other methods of building suspense besides the use of ellipses and dashes? And craft fight dialogue that sounds a bit less like it belongs in a comic book? Okay, we’re quibbling. We know these minor nuisances won’t dent readers’ enjoyment, at least not this generation of readers; we couldn’t put Hallows down ourselves. But we believe Rowling, and future readers, deserved even better. Ages 9-12. (July)
Synopsis
'His hand closed automatically around the fake Horcrux, but in spite of everything, in spite of the dark and twisting path he saw stretching ahead for himself, in spite of the final meeting with Voldemort he knew must come, whether in a month, in a year, or in ten, he felt his heart lift at the thought that there was still one last golden day of peace left to enjoy with Ron and Hermione.' With these words "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" draws to a close. And here, in this seventh and final book, Harry discovers what fate truly has in store for him as he inexorably makes his way to that final meeting with Voldemort. In this thrilling climax to the phenomenally bestselling series, J.K. Rowling will reveal all to her eagerly waiting readers.

Why We Love Harry
Favorite Moments from the Series
There are plenty of reasons to love Rowling's wildly popular series--no doubt you have several dozen of your own. Our list features favorite moments, characters, and artifacts from the first five books. Keep in mind that this list is by no means exhaustive (what we love about Harry could fill ten books!) and does not include any of the spectacular revelatory moments that would spoil the books for those (few) who have not read them. Enjoy.
The Series of Harry Potter
The Harry Potter series was originally published as a children's book by British publisher Bloomsbury, and American publisher Scholastic Press. However, it rapidly became a phenomenal success amongst children and adults alike. The books each chronicle one year at school for the characters concerned and follows a long tradition of children's series about life in schools. Perhaps unlike some of the traditional series of this format, each book has matured and expanded in complexity and scope compared to the last, approximately developing with the age of the principal characters (later books are also significantly darker in tone than earlier ones). Although the author has said that she comprehensively plotted the entire series of books before the first was published, and that this plot remains unchanged, she has also stated that it has undergone a number of revisions as it has progressed. The books started as relatively slim volumes (223 pages Philosopher's Stone UK ed.), but have grown as the series progressed (766 pages Order of the Phoenix UK ed.).
The books contain a significant element of fantasy and magic, but this is combined with a detective-novel approach to the story. Each volume contains a complete problem and task for the heroes to complete, but each has also added to the background information about the wizarding world in general and contains many pieces of information whose importance only becomes apparent in later volumes (known as foreshadowing). Thus a considerable fan following has developed of people wanting to discover how the many loose ends and unfinished adventures in the book will finally be completed. The author has stated that, more than with any other book in the series, the final volume continues the unfinished story in book six. She has also stated that she doesn't have plans for any other novels concerning Harry Potter.
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
* Harry's first trip to the zoo with the Dursleys, when a boa constrictor winks at him.
* When the Dursleys' house is suddenly besieged by letters for Harry from Hogwarts. Readers learn how much the Dursleys have been keeping from Harry. Rowling does a wonderful job in displaying the lengths to which Uncle Vernon will go to deny that magic exists.
* Harry's first visit to Diagon Alley with Hagrid. Full of curiosities and rich with magic and marvel, Harry's first trip includes a trip to Gringotts and Ollivanders, where Harry gets his wand (holly and phoenix feather) and discovers yet another connection to He-Who-Must-No-Be-Named. This moment is the reader's first full introduction to Rowling's world of witchcraft and wizards.
* Harry's experience with the Sorting Hat.
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
* The de-gnoming of the Weasleys' garden. Harry discovers that even wizards have chores--gnomes must be grabbed (ignoring angry protests "Gerroff me! Gerroff me!"), swung about (to make them too dizzy to come back), and tossed out of the garden--this delightful scene highlights Rowling's clever and witty genius.
* Harry's first experience with a Howler, sent to Ron by his mother.
* The Dueling Club battle between Harry and Malfoy. Gilderoy Lockhart starts the Dueling Club to help students practice spells on each other, but he is not prepared for the intensity of the animosity between Harry and Draco. Since they are still young, their minibattle is innocent enough, including tickling and dancing charms.
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
* Ron's attempt to use a telephone to call Harry at the Dursleys'.
* Harry's first encounter with a Dementor on the train (and just about any other encounter with Dementors). Harry's brush with the Dementors is terrifying and prepares Potter fans for a darker, scarier book.
* Harry, Ron, and Hermione's behavior in Professor Trelawney's Divination class. Some of the best moments in Rowling's books occur when she reminds us that the wizards-in-training at Hogwarts are, after all, just children. Clearly, even at a school of witchcraft and wizardry, classes can be boring and seem pointless to children.
* The Boggart lesson in Professor Lupin's classroom.
* Harry, Ron, and Hermione's knock-down confrontation with Snape.
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
* Hermione's disgust at the reception for the veela (Bulgarian National Team Mascots) at the Quidditch World Cup. Rowling's fourth book addresses issues about growing up--the dynamic between the boys and girls at Hogwarts starts to change. Nowhere is this more plain than the hilarious scene in which magical cheerleaders nearly convince Harry and Ron to jump from the stands to impress them.
* Viktor Krum's crush on Hermione--and Ron's objection to it.
* Malfoy's "Potter Stinks" badge.
* Hermione's creation of S.P.E.W., the intolerant bigotry of the Death Eaters, and the danger of the Triwizard Tournament. Add in the changing dynamics between girls and boys at Hogwarts, and suddenly Rowling's fourth book has a weight and seriousness not as present in early books in the series. Candy and tickle spells are left behind as the students tackle darker, more serious issues and take on larger responsibilities, including the knowledge of illegal curses.
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
* Harry's outburst to his friends at No. 12 Grimmauld Place. A combination of frustration over being kept in the dark and fear that he will be expelled fuels much of Harry's anger, and it all comes out at once, directly aimed at Ron and Hermione. Rowling perfectly portrays Harry's frustration at being too old to shirk responsibility, but too young to be accepted as part of the fight that he knows is coming.
* Harry's detention with Professor Umbridge. Rowling shows her darker side, leading readers to believe that Hogwarts is no longer a safe haven for young wizards. Dolores represents a bureaucratic tyrant capable of real evil, and Harry is forced to endure their private battle of wills alone.
* Harry and Cho's painfully awkward interactions. Rowling clearly remembers what it was like to be a teenager.
* Harry's Occlumency lessons with Snape.
* Dumbledore's confession to Harry.
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
* The introduction of the Horcrux.
* Molly Weasley asking Arthur Weasley about his "dearest ambition." Rowling has always been great at revealing little intriguing bits about her characters at a time, and Arthur’s answer "to find out how airplanes stay up" reminds us about his obsession with Muggles.
* Harry's private lessons with Dumbledore, and more time spent with the fascinating and dangerous pensieve, arguably one of Rowling’s most ingenious inventions.
* Fred and George Weasley’s Joke Shop, and the slogan: "Why Are You Worrying About You-Know-Who? You Should Be Worrying About U-NO-POO--the Constipation Sensation That's Gripping the Nation!"
* Luna's Quidditch commentary. Rowling created scores of Luna Lovegood fans with hilarious and bizarre commentary from the most unlikely Quidditch commentator.
* The effects of Felix Felicis.
More About Author
J. K. (Jo) Rowling was born in Chipping Sodbury in the UK in 1965. Such a funny-sounding name for a birthplace may have contributed to her talent for collecting odd names.
Jo moved house twice when she was growing up. The first move was from Yate (just outside Bristol in the south west of England) to Winterbourne. Jo, her sister and friends used to play together in her street in Winterbourne. Two of her friends were a brother and sister whose surname just happened to be Potter! The second move was when Jo was nine and she moved to Tutshill near Chepstow in the Forest of Dean. Jo loved living in the countryside and spent most of her time wandering across fields and along the river Wye with her sister. For Jo, the worst thing about her new home was her new school.
Tutshill Primary School was a very small and very old-fashioned place. The roll-top desks in the classrooms still had the old ink wells. Jo's teacher, Mrs Morgan, terrified her. On the first day of school, she gave Jo an arithmetic test, which she failed, scoring zero out of ten. It wasn't that Jo was stupid - she had never done fractions before. So Jo was seated in the row of desks far to the right of Mrs Morgan. Jo soon realised that Mrs Morgan seated her pupils according to how clever she thought they were: the brightest sat to her left, and those she thought were dim were seated to her right. Jo was in the 'stupid' row, 'as far right as you could possibly get without sitting in the playground'.
From Tutshill Primary, Jo went to Wyedean Comprehensive. She was quiet, freckly, short-sighted and not very good at sports. She even broke her arm playing netball. Her favourite subject by far was English, but she also liked languages.
Jo always loved writing more than anything. 'The first story that I ever wrote down, when I was five or six, was about a rabbit called Rabbit. He got the measles and was visited by his friends, including a giant bee called Miss Bee. And ever since Rabbit and Miss Bee, I have wanted to be a writer, though I rarely told anyone so. I was afraid they'd tell me I didn't have a hope.'
At school, Jo would entertain her friends at lunchtime with stories. 'I used to tell my equally quiet and studious friends long serial stories at lunchtimes.' In these stories, Jo and her friends would be heroic and daring.
As she got older, Jo kept writing but she never showed what she had written to anyone, except for some of her funny stories that featured her friends as heroines.
After school, Jo attended the University of Exeter in Devon where she studied French. Her parents hoped that by studying languages, she would enjoy a great career as a bilingual secretary. But as Jo recalls, 'I am one of the most disorganised people in the world and, as I later proved, the worst secretary ever.' She claims that she never paid much attention in meetings because she was too busy scribbling down ideas. 'This is a problem when you are supposed to be taking the minutes of the meeting,' she says.
When she was 25, Jo started writing a third novel ('I abandoned the first two when I realised how bad they were'). A year later, she went to Portugal to teach English, which she really enjoyed. Working afternoons and evenings, she had mornings free to write. The new novel was about a boy who was a wizard.
When she returned to the UK, Jo had a suitcase full of stories about Harry Potter. She moved to Edinburgh with her young daughter and worked as a French teacher. She also set herself a target: she would finish the 'Harry' novel and get it published. In 1996, one year after finishing the book, Bloomsbury bought Jo's first novel, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.
'The moment I found out that Harry would be published was one of the best of my life,’ says Jo. A few months after 'Harry' was accepted for publication in Britain, an American publisher bought the rights for enough money to enable Jo to give up teaching and write full time - her life's ambition!

1. A perfect ending to a glorious series, July 21, 2007
By Joanna Daneman (Middletown, DE USA)
Before the release of the seventh and last book of the Harry Potter series, I re-read all the preceding volumes. Throughout, I followed how the author developed her grand theme of Right vs Wrong, the strong vs the weak and the evils of the misuse of power. How was Rowling to end this series? Obviously, the Apocalypse was at hand, and the heroic struggle between Harry Potter and the evil Voldemort would be the climax of the series. While we waited for the last book, rumors abounded. Fake spoilers floated over the internet like the soul-sucking Dementors, threatening to extinguish the enjoyment people would get from this final volume. So, no spoilers from this reviewer. All I will say is that "Deathly Hallows" lived up to my expectations and in fact, ended pretty much as I imagined it would. Rowling keeps true to her theme right to the end and to her artistic vision as well. There is plenty of action right from the get-go. This is by far the most exciting of the seven books, with duels, battles, fights, daring escapes and amazing twists of fortune. There are plenty of surprises and also many reasons to weep. The action sometimes is non-stop, but from time to time, there are welcome respites in the action, times for moments of tenderness or friendship between surprising pairings of characters. The sub-theme of the redeptive power of Love is evident in these idylls. J. K. Rowling is a master writer who has created an amazing work of art with the Harry Potter series and just as any master craftsman, she has chosen the perfect finish for a fine series of books. I look forward to new series with entire new worlds or...perhaps this is really the end. Some authors do write themselves out when they've said their say. I don't know. But I do know this author is one I enjoy reading and I hope we have many more new adventures to discover from her pen. Bravo! Joanna Daneman
2. Absolutely brilliant!, July 21, 2007
By Karlis Streips (Riga, Latvia)
I live in Eastern Europe, where there has not been a six-month advertising campaign, where bookstores were not open at midnight, and where people did not spend three days in sleeping bags outside of shop doors. I did, however, buy the book within two minutes after the relevant bookstore opened, and I read it in one go. Magnificent, that's all I can say. Certainly I do not want to give up any of the book's many secrets, but I can say this: Everyone who appeared in the first six books reappears in this one, without exception, and sometimes in cameos which say "And there, standing before him, were Cho and Mary and Peter and David and Lee and Andrew and Susie and John." There to make the appearance, never to be seen again. Sort of like Miss Jeannie and her mirror on Romper Room. Second, JK Rowling said that people would die in this book, and she was right. Won't say another word about that. Third, this is the decisive battle between good and evil, and I won't be giving away plot points to say that in the end, good wins, but with several twists. Fourth, several baddies turn out to be good. Won't say which ones, because some baddies remain very, very bad indeed. Fifth, I think JK Rowling deserves every one of the gazillions of dollars she's earned for this series, and I am terribly, terribly sorry that it's finished now, but "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows" is certainly a heck of a way to go out with a big, big bang. Thank you, JK.
3. Dark, but terrific!, July 21, 2007
By Julie Neal (Celebration, FL United States)
Sure it's dark (and too violent for younger readers), but this final installment in the Harry Potter saga is one of the best books in the series. It's better than Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (Book 6) -- there's not near as much exposition, far more character development and way more action -- and, I think, as good as Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (Book 4) or Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (Book 5). Scary and usually quite serious, the book starts with a spine-chilling jolt and never lets up.
The best part? That nothing seems forced or thrown together. Rowling wraps up her many plot points and reveals the fates of her characters in ways that almost always surprise you, but afterward seem inevitable.
And how she does it is so inventive! Many throwaway moments and whispered remarks from earlier books foreshadow what happens here, and devices that had little importance before, such as Sirius's flying motorcycle, now play key roles. While creating yet another gripping tale, the author also ties her entire epic together with the skill of a true literary master. As a writer myself, I really admire her skill. (Last time I checked, Rowling was outselling me by about, oh, a billion to one.)
In addition, the book treats its title character with the complexity he deserves. It portrays the (now) young man as disillusioned, full of doubt, overwhelmed -- a tortured soul who, though a responsible leader in an all-out war, often seems to yearn to do nothing more than sweet-talk Ginny Weasley.
Parents should know, however, that this one is a real creepfest, with the most explicitly violent scenes of any book in the series. It's way too brutal for grade schoolers. Also, unlike the earlier Potter books, the far-reaching vocabulary requires about a 6th-grade education.
By the way, regardless of the temptation, don't skip to the end. It doesn't work. The answers to all those hot key questions unfold throughout the story. Yes, quite a few characters die, but not all in the last chapter. And besides, the joy in reading these books is not learning just what happens, but how it happens, and why.

我们可以预知将要发生什么
·We will find out what Dudley saw in Order of the Phoenix when he was attacked by the dementor.
·We will find out the true identity of R.A.B., though most fans are quite sure it's Sirius's brother, Regulus.
·We will see Viktor Krum again.
·We will find out a little bit more about Harry's Grandparents.
·We will find out what happened to Sirius' flying motorcycle, "but the real sleuths among us might be able to guess." Care to hazard a guess?
·Wormtail's life debt to Harry will come into play, somehow.
·We will find out what Lily and James did for a living. This piece of information is "important to a later plot." Possibly something Harry finds out during his visit to Godric's Hollow?
·The shroud that surrounds Snape will fall and we will see where his loyalties truly lie.
·One of Harry's classmates will go on to become a teacher, but it isn't "maybe the one you think, hint, hint, hint," and it isn't Ron, either. Our guess is Neville, but we'll see!
·We will find out something extremely important about Lily and James and it will have a direct effect on what Harry has to do. And no, conspiracy theorists, it's not that they were actually both working for Voldemort, an idea that sickened Ms. Rowling.
·We will see Dolores Umbridge again.
·We will see Rita Skeeter again. At the Edinburgh Book Festival, Rowling had this to say: "I actually quite like Rita. She is loathsome - morally, she's horrible - but I can't help admiring her toughness. She is very determined to do the job and there is something quite engaging about that. There is more to come on Rita."
·The last word of the book is "scar," though that may change with future edits.
·We will find out something "incredibly important" about Lily Potter.
·Harry's eye color will come into play. Also, JKR said that "he has his mother's eyes and that's very important in a future book."
·There is "more to the Sorting Hat" than what was presented in the first six books; we will "find out what it becomes" in book seven.
·Although Aunt Petunia is neither a witch nor a Squib, "there is a little bit more to her than meets the eye," and we will find out what that is.
·According to Jo, "one character got a reprieve, but I have to say two die that I didn't intend to die. A price has to be paid. We are dealing with pure evil. They don't target the extras, do they? They go for the main characters, or I do."
我们知道哪些事是真的,或者有可能发生的
·We may see Sirius again, but we do not know what form it will be in.
·"There is a character who does manage in desperate circumstances to do magic quite late in life, may perform magic in desperate circumstances." We know it's not Petunia (see below)...so, who is it?
·Book seven is predicted to be smaller than Order of the Phoenix. (JKRowling.com Feb. 28, 2006 diary entry)
·If Hogwarts reopens, yet another new teacher will take up the Defense Against the Dark Arts post; perhaps for as long as Professor Merrythought, assuming Harry vanquishes Voldemort.
·Fawkes will likely play a vital role in book 7.
·Harry "might get a different pet."
不可能发生的事
·Harry will not become a Hogwarts Headmaster.
·Snape will not be revealed to be a vampire.
·Voldemort will not be revealed to be Harry's, or any other character's, father. That's just sadistic.
·Draco and Hermione will not end up together, nor will they ever, in their wildest, most twisted dreams, even consider it.
·Aunt Petunia will not perform magic, because she is not a witch, nor will she ever be.
·Lupin will not reoccupy his role as Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher.
·Wormtail will not use his silver hand to kill Lupin.
·The Sorting Hat is not a Horcrux.
·Neither Crookshanks nor Mrs. Norris is an Animagus.
·Harry is not a Metamorphmagus.
·Neither Dumbledore, nor any other character in the series, is another character who has come back from the future. If you remember, JKR cleverly wrote in Half-Blood Prince that in the Department of Mysteries skirmish in book five, all of the Ministry's Time Turners were destroyed, proving wrong the ridiculously complicated time-travel theories out there.
·Luna is not Snape's daughter.
·Nicolas Flamel will not teach potions at Hogwarts. He died, remember?
·Luna and Neville will not become a couple...what a shame!
·Harry is not related to Dumbledore.
·Lily Potter is not alive, and she never was a Death Eater.
·Neville is not Peter Pettigrew's son. Just because neither of them have won Witch Weekly's Most Charming Smile Award five times in a row doesn't mean they're related! Really, now...
Lupin is not a twin.
