Harry Potter fans in a Frenzy!

Finally the day is here. 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows' is released today. The question being raised now is - will Harry die? Will he kill Lord Voldemort and die in the fight? Due to this anxiety among Harry Potter fans helplines have geared up to take care of distraught fans. Earlier at a press conference Rowling has confirmed the death of two characters. Fans have reacted violently to the idea of Harry's death. But Rowling is of the opinion that after his death no other author would be able to write about him without seeking her permission.

According to a news Daniel Radcliffe, the teenage actor who played Harry in the film adaptations of the book, himself wishes Harry Potter's death. But later Radcliffe regretted having a death wish for Potter. "I wish I'd never said that. And I have started to think his death might be too obvious a route to go down," Daniel told the Daily Record. "But I have no idea and I know nothing about the new book." Moreover he is of the opinion now that killing Harry Potter would be "too obvious".

Rowling created the character of Harry Potter in 1997 and in these last ten years the present book is the seventh and last one in Potter series. Now the countdown has begun, the suspense of the two deaths will be over in some time. So for now, just wait and watch; rather just read on.

J.K. Rowling and Harry Potter

The name of J.K. Rowling needs no introduction. The character of Harry Potter has become a rage with not only kids but also with youngsters and grown-ups. She might have millions from the Harry Potter series now. But the beginning was not at all a cakewalk. Before the first book 'Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone' (later published in the US as 'Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone') was published by the small publisher Bloomsbury, the manuscript was rejected by twelve publishers. The manuscript was accepted because of the publisher's daughter, who was curious to read the next chapter after being given the first chapter. Since
then there has been no looking back. She has many awards including Nestlé Smarties Book Prize, British Book Award. Rowling is not only a terrific writer but also a philanthropist has done many charity works.
She was born on 31 July, 1965 in England. She completed her first manuscript for the first in the Harry Potter series, 'Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone' in 1995. It was published in 1997. The second in series was published 'Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets ' in 1998, third 'Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban' in 1999, fourth 'Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire' in 2000, fifth 'Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix' in 2003, sixth 'Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince' in 2005 and the last to be released on 21 July,2007 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows'. Her other books include 'Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them'(2001), 'Quidditch Through the Ages'(2001).
The lesson to be learnt from the experience of Rowling is that don't give up if you have faith in your writing and have faith in your writing skills. People are not born stars, it is because of their
perseverance and determination that they succeed.
