Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Concludes Boy Wizard's Tale
With the upcoming 3D release of the seventh and final story in the well beloved Harry Potter series
, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, it seems as if an important and entertaining era is ending. The unlikely hero and wizard, Harry Potter, along with his wizarding friends, Hermione Granger and Ronald Weasley have taken a generation by storm, creating voracious readers out of previously reluctant students.By now, the story behind the fantastical, mythical and magical Harry Potter series of books is well known to fans and critiques alike. The now renowned and popular author of the series, J.K. Rowling studied at the University of Exeter where she succumbed to parental pressure and learned French (which gave her a year of schooling in France) instead of the English she wanted to study. It's often told that as a single mother she spent time writing the story of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone in local cafes, but the reality is the idea for Harry Potter fell into her lap, so to speak, while traveling back to London after searching for a flat in Manchester, well before her daughter was born. Unfortunately, she didn't have a working pen on that ride. Even though J.K. Rowling had been telling and writing stories for as long as she could remember, no previous ideas were as exciting as the story she began inventing that very night. It was the death of her mother however, that really shaped the story and character of Harry Potter.
It wasn't until 1996, after the birth of her daughter (and subsequent divorce from her Portuguese husband), that Ms. Rowling had a finished manuscript. Sending off the first three chapters to an agent, its prompt return and lack of interest was daunting, but fortunately, the second agent was interested and asked to see the whole manuscript. It took another year before the agent actually found an interested publisher, and the rest is publishing history.
The first three books in the series Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban broke publishing records, and the release of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, the fourth book in the series, set new records. And of course, the final three books of the series, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince and finally, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, have all continued to set publishing records, rapidly creating fans from children and parents alike.
The Harry Potter series has received numerous book awards over the years, including Publishers Weekly Best Book of 1998 for Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, the Hugo Award for Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, and Newsweek's Best Book of the Year for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, along with numerous other prestigious awards.
As if that isn't enough, the book series has been brought life in wildly popular film adaptations, and the eagerly anticipated seventh (and eighth) final installment of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is due to be released in two parts, beginning in November 2010. Fans of the series were delighted to learn that Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows would be released in two parts, so that nothing important is left out or changed. In addition, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows will be the first of the series filmed for both 2D and 3D release, and will be released in wide-screen IMAX format as well. Nation wide release is slated for the first film on November 19, 2010 and eight months later, the second film will be released on July 15, 2011.
