Fans of the Harry Potter book series are anxiously awaiting the release on Saturday of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. The book will be the seventh and final in the popular series from author J.K. Rowling about a boy wizard. The release cannot come soon enough for some Harry Potter fans. Andreas Haayak is one of them. "It is very exciting. [There is] much drama." The popular book series has sold more than 325 million copies in more than 60 languages since the release of the first Harry Potter book in 1997. The stories take place in a magical world of wizards and witches where young Harry battles an evil wizard who killed his parents. The release of the final book comes little more than a week after the international release of the movie version of "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix," the fifth book in the series. The anticipation has led book retailers to increase their security measures to avoid leaks before Saturday's official release date. has been reported in recent days that the entire book has been leaked online to file-sharing sites throughout the Internet. But that is unlikely to dampen the enthusiasm of fans to find out how the book -- and the series -- ends.
