    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 leavethe warmth，safety and companionship of The Burrow and follow without fearor hesitation the inexorable path laid out for him．
    In this final，seventh instalment 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．

    J.K.(JOANNE KATHLEEN) ROWLING has written fiction since she was a child．Born in 1965，she grew up in Chepstow and wrote her first‘book’at the age of six—a story about a rabbit called Rabbit．She studied French and Classics at Exeter University,then moved to London to work at Amnesty International，and then to Portugal to teach English as a foreign language，before settling in Edinburgh．
    The idea for Harry Potter occurred to her on the train from Manchester to London，where she says Harry Potter‘just strolled into my head fully formed’，and by the timeshe had arrived at King's Cross，many of the characters had taken shape．During the next five years she outlined the plots foreach book and began writing the first in the series，Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone，which was first published by Bloomsbury in 1997．The other Harry Potter titles：Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets，Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban，Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire．Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix and Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince．followed．J．K．Rowling has also written two companion books，Quidditch Through the Ages and Fantastic BeasTS and Where to Find Them,in aid of Comic Relief.
