The end for Harry Potter

Potter fans are already queuing...

Only one more sleep to go!

And many will be doing that outside their favourite bookstore – even through freezing night-time temperatures, just to be one of the first to get their hands on the final installment of the amazing Harry Potter series.

Although a nasty spoil sport leaked the tome to the internet a few days ago, most people aren’t going to ruin the excitement for themselves and will wait until they have their own copy of the book in their own hands before sitting down to find out what becomes of Harry, Ron, Hermione and the evil Lord Voldemort. There have been hundreds of theories flying around cyberspace and Yahoo!7 Answers as to how the series will end – some suggesting that Harry will die (oh I hope not!), many speculating about which side Professor Snape is really on and lots wondering what the final Horcurx actually is.

July has been a double dose of Harry Potter mania, with the fifth movie being released in cinemas a couple of weeks ago and reviews pouring in about whether or not it was an acceptable representation of the book.

I am predicting a quiet weekend around the world as children and adults everywhere stay indoors to read what will no doubt be an amazing climax to the world’s most popular series of books... followed by a lot of questions on Answers about the outcome!
