Author J.K. Rowling has sparked another wave of Pottermania by announcing the title of the seventh and final Harry Potter novel.

The release date for “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows” has not been announced yet, but several bookstores worldwide have already started taking advance orders, Reuters reports.

“Anticipation for this book has been building since the sixth book was released in 2005,” said Borders Senior Vice President Linda Jones in a statement to Reuters. “We are sensing real excitement from our customers.”

The series, which tells the tales of boy wizard Harry, has sold approximately 300 million copies worldwide. Anticipation for the final installment has been building since “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince” was released.

Many fans speculate Rowling will knock off Harry in the last book, but she has remained vague when answering questions.
