JK
Rowling
is
"heartbroken" after
finishing
the
final
Harry
Potter
book.
The
author,
who
recently
announced
she
had
completed
'Harry
Potter
and
the
Deathly
Hallows',
says
she
has
been
in
mourning
since
concluding
the
series.
Rowling
wrote
on
her
website,
www.jkrowling.com:
"I
always
knew
Harry's
story
would
end
with
the
seventh
book
but
saying
goodbye
was
just
as
hard
as
I
knew
it
would
be.
Even
though
I'm
in
mourning,
I
feel
an
incredible
sense
of
achievement.
I
can
hardly
believe
I
have
finally
written
the
ending
I've
been
planning
for
so
many
years.
I
have
never
felt
such
a
mixture
of
extreme
emotions
in
my
life,
never
dreamed
I
could
feel
simultaneously
heartbroken
and
euphoric."
Rowling, 41, says there is one thing that stopped her from "collapsing in a puddle of misery on the floor" - knowing the book is the best one yet. She explained: "While each of the previous Potter books has strong claims on my affections, 'Deathly Hallows' is my favourite, and that is a wonderful way to finish the series. "If it comes as any consolation, I think that there will be plenty to continue arguing about, even after 'Deathly Hallows' come out. So do not despair." Rowling, who became the world's first billion-dollar author after the series sold an estimated 325 million copies worldwide and were adapted for the big screen, has revealed at least two characters will die in the final instalment. 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows' will be released on July 21
