didcock@sundayherald. As the last book in the series is published, the world is left to wonder…
That theorising will only increase over the next few days thanks to the publication on Saturday of Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows, the seventh and final book in Rowling’s phenomenal series. In order to cope with demand, her publishers have ordered an initial print run of 12 millions copies, and that’s just in the US. Meanwhile the film adaptation of Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix, the fifth book in the series, was released last Thursday. Rowling has said she thinks it’s the best yet.

“The Seeker: The Dark Is Rising”
Hartford Courant - Feb 27, 2008
If you loathe them, blame Harry Potter. Since the little wizards big screen success, studios have been plundering the childrens sections of libraries, trying to turn up any undiscovered gems. They may have found one in Susan Coopers Newberry Award-winning The Dark Is Rising sequence of five novels, which have been around since the 1970s. Though dont expect Potter-like reverence to the source material.
