The books of Harry Potter series have been made into films.The four motion pictures released to-date are among the highest grossing film series of all time, with USD$3.5 billion in worldwide receipts, only trailing the James Bond films ($4.3 billion)and the Star Wars films (4.1 billion). As of 2007, the series consists of four motion pictures with the fifth, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, scheduled for United States and United Kingdom release on July 13.

In 1999, Rowling sold the film rights to the first four Harry Potter books to Warner Bros. for a reported £1 million ($1,982,900 U.S. dollars). [4] A reported demand Rowling made was that the principal cast be kept strictly British, nonetheless allowing for the inclusion of many Irish actors such as the late Richard Harris as Dumbledore.

In 2000, the virtually unknown British actors Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint were selected from thousands of auditioning children to play the roles of Harry Potter, Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley, respectively.They have played their characters in the first five films, and on 23 March 2007, Warner Bros. confirmed that all three would return for the sixth and seventh.
Chris Columbus directed the first two films, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone and Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Alfonso Cuarón directed the third, and Mike Newell directed the fourth. The fifth, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, is finished and was directed by David Yates, who will also direct the sixth Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.

Meaning of Deathly Hallows

Shortly before the release of the title, JK Rowling announced that she had considered three different titles for the book. The title "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" was released to the public from her web site, on 21st December 2006. The title was given as a hangman puzzle which was to be solved.

When asked "What does 'Deathly Hallows' mean?" J.K Rowling responded, "Any clarification of the meaning of 'Hallows' would give away too much of the story - well, it would, wouldn't it? Being the title and all. So I'm afraid I'm not answering."

Hallow is a word usually used as a verb, meaning "to make holy or sacred, to sanctify or consecrate, to venerate". However, in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, the word hallows appears as a noun. In modern English, the word is used as a noun in "All Hallows' Day" or "All Saints' Day," which is the day after Halloween or "All Hallows' Eve". Hallows can refer to saints, the relics of saints, the relics of gods, or shrines in which the relics are kept. Since the essence of these saints or gods were often considered present at their shrines and in their relics, hallows came to refer to the saints or gods themselves, rather than just their relics or shrines.The release of the title has resulted in considerable speculation as to its possible meanings. Other Hallows which occur in the series are the Hogwarts Hallows.

Following the difficulties experienced by the book's translators in adapting the title to their own language, the Swedish interpreters announced that Rowling had offered the alternate title Harry Potter and the Relics of Death, which in Swedish is rendered as Harry Potter och dödsrelikerna.

Book 7: Cover Information

Here is the cover or the jacket information of the 7th book. there are two editions : the UK edition and the US edition. JKR always hides some clues or information relating to her book in the covers of the books.

The UK edition : -

The Text on the inside flap of the book reads as follows :-

"Harry has been burdened with a dark, dangerous and seemingly impossible task: that of locating and destroying Voldemort’s remaining Horcruxes. Never has Harry felt so alone, or faced a future so full of shadows. But Harry must somehow find within himself the strength to complete the task he has been given. He must leave the warmth, safety, and companionship of The Burrow and follow without fear or hesitation the inexorable path laid out for him.

In this final, seventh installment of the Harry Potter series, J.K. Rowling unveils in spectacular fashion the answers to the many questions that have been so eagerly awaited. The spellbinding, richly woven narrative, which plunges, twists and turns at a breathtaking pace, confirms the author as a mistress of storytelling, whose books will be read, reread and read again. "

the back of the book has the following text:-

"Harry is waiting in Privet Drive. The Order of the Phoenix is coming to escort him safely away without Voldemort and his supporters knowing – if they can. But what will Harry do then? How can he fulfil the momentous and seemingly impossible task that Professor Dumbledore has left him with? "

the cover spine of the book is interesting. In all the other books the picture shown in the cover spine is critical of the plot of the book. The 7th book contains :

"The top of the cover spine has a symbol showing a triangle with a circle in it cut in half."

The US Edition : -

For the fourth time (and the first since since the 3rd book), the cover is a wraparound, meaning that it is comprised of a single image spanning over the entirety of the front, back and spine of the book.

In the cover the structures around Harry show evident destruction and in the shadows behind him, we see outlines of other people. On the back cover, spidery hands are outstretched toward Harry. Only when the book is opened does one see a powerful image of Voldemort, his glowing red eyes peering out from his hood.

Book Review :-
Harry enters his sixth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry having endured more than one man could endure in a lifetime. A somber, fearful air envelops the wizarding community for now everyone knows they are at war with a dark wizard and his deadly followers. But it is the war within each character that Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince will focus on, the war between the choices we make and the people we wish to become.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince begins in darkness, bearing witness to the dark days ahead of wizards and muggles alike. Each newspaper brings news of terror and horror across the nation, and Harry and his friends read each article fearful of finding someone they know has died at Voldemort's hands. The intensity increases as Harry takes lessons with his headmaster, learning the truth behind the current dark times.

What's more, Harry is quickly approaching manhood, his thoughts no longer dominated by childish ignorance or teenage angst. His wounds from previous tribulations have earned him a place as a young adult, but still much of his pride remains.The war within Harry is a familiar one. Whereas Dumbledore once said that the choices one makes define a person far more than a man's abilities, Harry must discover this in deeper ways than ever before. Loyalty, love, and hope are all cornerstones of the man Harry wishes to become, but what of ambition, jealousy, and fear?
The book is very well written as JKR keeps up the magic in her writing. This book sets up for a grand finale in the final book of the series.

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is the fifth book in the Harry Potter series of books by J. K. Rowling. The book was published on 21 June 2003, almost 3 years after the 4th book, in the United Kingdom and the majority of other countries. It sold almost seven million copies in the United Kingdom and United States combined on that day. It has 38 chapters, is about 255,000 words long.


"I say to you all, once again in the light of Lord Voldemort's return, we are only as strong as we are united, as weak as we are divided. Lord Voldemort's gift for spreading discord and enmity is very great. We can fight it only by showing an equally strong bond of friendship and trust."

So spoke Albus Dumbledore at the end of Harry Potter's fourth year at Hogwarts. But as Harry enters his fifth year at wizard school, it seems those bonds have never been more sorely tested. Lord Voldemort's rise has opened a rift in the wizarding world between those who believe the truth about his return, and those who prefer to believe it's all madness and lies just more trouble from Harry Potter.


Magic powers, evil wizards, dragons and midnight broom rides are obsolete in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. This fifth installment is by far the best yet. As we travel deeper into the magical world, secrets are revealed and the plot thickens (and the plot seems at least as thick as the book itself).

It is Harry Potter’s fifth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, the evil Lord Voldemort has risen again and nobody seems to believe it .The summer at the Dursely's is as wretched as ever. Harry finally leaves his cruel aunt and uncle’s house and arrives at the house of his godfather, Sirius Black. Meeting up with his friends, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger, the group tries to stop Lord Voldemort. The meeting spot is Sirius Black’s house, Number 12 Grimmauld’s Place, a magical house not visible to muggles-non magical people. Harry returns to his safe haven at Hogwarts on September 1, but will soon want to return to Number 12 Grimmauld’s Place because unfortunate events make people at school think he has gone mad. Due to Harry’s ambition, he makes it through the year and somehow still hates to leave his haven.

J.K. Rowling has really outdone herself this time. The book is so detailed that you feel like you are there. The plot gets darker with each book and keeps readers wanting more. This book is sure to entertain young as well as old. The Harry Potter series makes you imagine a world that you wish so badly existed that you actually start believing it does. Harry Potter will surely delight readers for years to come.




This book has been made into a film by Warner Brothers which is due to be released on the 13th of july 2007.
