Finished last night.  I know there are a lot of people who haven&#8217;t finished, so I&#8217;ll refrain from a full review.  Suffice it say, I loved it.  Sure, there are still lots of questions, but the big ones were answered, and in a most satisfying way.  I&#8217;m just sad it&#8217;s all [...]]]></description>

Jo Rowling left the above graffiti on a marble bust at the Balmoral Hotel in Edinburgh three weeks ago, noting that book seven of the Harry Potter series, &#8220;Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows&#8221; is now written.  With that came the announcement that the last of the Potter septology will be released on July [...]]]></description>

Composer&#8217;s hard at work on &#8216;The Harry Potter Opera Cycle&#8217; sans official approval
By James Hebert
UNION-TRIBUNE ARTS WRITER
July 16, 2006
As if magical powers and literary immortality (not to mention a seven-picture Hollywood deal) weren&#8217;t enough, the world&#8217;s most popular wizard now can add another notch to his broomstick.
Harry Potter has an aria.
He&#8217;ll have more soon, as [...]]]></description>

O my Luve&#8217;s like a red, red rose,
That&#8217;s newly sprung in June:
O my Luve&#8217;s like the melodie,
That&#8217;s sweetly play&#8217;d in tune.
As fair art thou, my bonie lass,
So deep in luve am I;
And I will luve thee still, my dear,
Till a&#8217; the seas gang dry.
Till a&#8217; the seas gang dry, my dear,
And the rocks [...]]]></description>

Another fantastic achievement by Jo Rowling, &#8220;Half Blood Prince&#8221; is the Harry Potter series&#8217; &#8220;Empire Strikes Back.&#8221;  It ends on a major downer, but there&#8217;s still that ray of hope shining through.
Lots of people I know are still reading this book, so I&#8217;ll refrain from revealing any plot points or spoilers.  Suffice it [...]]]></description>
