Harry Potter .com

J.K.Rowling has now officially announced that the latest, and last, in the Harry Potter series of books will be called ‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows’ putting an end to the frenzy of speculation on the subject over the last few months. While it has been genuine fans interested in all things associated with their hero who have been speculating so far, you can bet that now the title is official there will be a new breed of speculator on the scene: the domain squatters.

With such a big franchise as Harry Potter, and searches on the final book and all things related to it almost certain to continue gaining momentum up to and beyond the date of publication, there is plenty of money to be made from diverting the unwary Internet tourist to an advert laden dummy site. But it would appear that efforts have already been made by the Christopher Little Literary Agency, which represents Rowling, to prevent this.
