Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows will be released on Saturday, July 21, 2007, one week after the release of the Order of the Phoenix film.

I’m in shock it’s almost over. In six months, absent Jo’s potential Hogwarts, a History encyclopedia, the canon is finished. I had secretly been betting for a summer 2008 release date to give Jo more time to work on the book and to stretch things out. This seems too rushed.

Perhaps the writing was complete and there was no reason to wait another full year to release the book. I just cannot fathom from a marketing standpoint how pulling the entire audience away from theaters for three days in a blockbuster’s second weekend helps either the book or the movie. Some people won’t fork out for both, and even waiting a month would have given each their due.

But I’m done complaining now. In six months, the final installment will be released, and I don’t believe I’ll be sleeping much mid-summer.

All I can say is, come August, thank God for the fanfic!
