The title of JK Rowling’s last Harry Potter book has been revealed

The name of the long-awaited seventh Harry Potter book was revealed today as Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows.

It will be the final instalment of JK Rowling’s massively popular series featuring the schoolboy wizard.

The title of the eagerly awaited book appears on publisher Bloomsbury’s website.

A publication date has not yet been set for the book, which will follow Harry and friends during their final year at Hogwarts.

Rowling, 41, admitted on her website yesterday that she is still writing the book.

She said: “I’m now writing scenes that have been planned, in some cases, for a dozen years or even more.

“I both want, and don’t want, to finish this book.”

But she reassured expectant fans: “Don’t worry, I will.”

The multi-millionaire recently hinted that two characters are expected to die in the finale – and Harry himself might not survive – saying: “We are dealing with pure evil here.

“They don’t target extras, do they? They go for the main characters – well, I do.”
