If there was one piece of info I'd expect to find on LJ before the WSJ, it would be this:

Scholastic Corp., the U.S. publisher of the Harry Potter series, said today that J.K. Rowling's next book will be titled "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows."

The novel will be the seventh and final volume in the series. It is not known when Ms. Rowling will deliver her manuscript.

What kind of phrase is "deathly hallows?" Kind of anti-climactic, if you ask me.

"Hallows" means saints, possibly dead saints as I haven't been able to dig up a solid reference. So something on the order of a divine Dementor perhaps.

Anti-climactic is the wrong word--maybe I mean melodramatic. Ie, she's trying too hard. :P

It hasn't hit cnn.com or msnbc.com as of this commenting.

"It is not known when Ms. Rowling will deliver her manuscript."

I have visions of one hell of an episiotomy cut if it's single-sided & double-spaced!
