The Deathly Hallows

As in "Harry Potter and the..."

So announced J.K. Rowling through her publisher earlier today.

But what exactly these Deathly Hallows are is yet to be revealed.

What has been leaked however is that *spoiler alert* two more major characters will not make to the end of the novel alive; both hot Quidditch star Viktor Krum and Dolores Umbridge are set to return; Kreacher, Harry's inherited house elf, will play an important role (hence J.K.'s insistence that he appear in the Order of the Phoenix movie); we'll learn lots more significant back story stuff about Peter Pettigrew, Dumbledore, Harry's mum and Aunt Petunia; and most importantly we will finally learn who's side Severus Snape is really on!
What a great Christmas present from one of the richest women in the UK... now, if we only had a publication date...
