The end is near. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows hits the streets July 21, 2007 and it shall usher in the end of a new era. I don't know what a world without anymore Harry Potter books will be like, but this is not the "era" that I am referring to. You see, when I saw that date, 07/21/2007, a strange feeling came over me. I couldn't stop staring at it. I knew that there was something deeper that I could not yet understand. So I started playing with the numbers.
7+21+2007=2,035 (nothing)
7-21-2007=-2,021 (still nothing)
7x21-2007=-1,860 (no meaning)
7-21x2007=-28,098 (still no meaning)
I soon realized that I had to dig deeper. Using the cryptography skills I picked up from reading The Da Vinci Code, I made a terrible, but at the same time, amazing discovery. 07/21/2007 was an anagram, and this is what I found.
707-21-20=666
Harry Potter is the Beast. Not only will Year 7 bring us to the end of the Harry Potter series, it will bring the END OF THE WORLD.
Suddenly, the name of the book, "The Deathly Hallows" doesn't sound so strange and ambiguous. It clrearly refers to the killing fields of Armageadon.
I guess this is a good time for me to tell my literally thousands of readers that I love you all and I will cherish your comments all the way up until the end.

party like it is 07/21/2007!!!!!!!!!!
Please dont make light of this Chanty.
Wow Darth Spencer. It never ceases to amaze what your brilliance produces.
"How dark the con of man," indeed. I would interpret this little anagram as a hint as to how Harry Potter will end, rather than a prediction about the end of the real world.
Based on my cryptography skills, I predict that the final battle between Harry Potter and Lord Voldemort (an anagram of Tom Riddle, so we know Rowling employs anagrams) will take place at the Louvre. Just as Lord Voldemort is about to unleash the wrath of the crustaceous curse, Harry's mother will appear and, again, save him from the grips of the unforgivable curse. Shocked, Lord Voldemort will stumble back in fear. Harry and his mother will then team up and vanquish Lord Voldemort for good.
We will then discover that Harry's mother did not, in fact, die during Lord Voldemort's first attack on her. Like Harry, she survived and has a lightningbolt scar on her forehead. As it turns out, at the same time Harry was sent to live with the Durseleys, Harry's mother was sent into hiding, and Dumbledore established a secret society whose main responsibility was to hide her from Lord Voldemort and the rest of the magic world.
Impressive theory Ian, or should I say, Robert Langdon. I bet Dumbledore has Harry's mom hidden in that new pyramid at the Louvre.
Where did you get the number 20?
Well, I took a look at the Ciphertext, which is data that has been encrypted. In this case it was the sequence 7/21/2007. After I realized it was an anagram, I took the 07 off of 2007 and put it next to the first 7. It leaves 2007 as 20
707-21-20=666
An there you have it; your decrypted number. Its really just basic cryptography.
Impressive skills Spencer. Now all you are missing to be completely transformed into Robert Langdon is a tweed jacket and turtleneck.
"A world without anymore Harry Potter books will be". . refreshing. If for no other reason, then I will never have sit by your side and have to listen to the audiotape version of the books while confined to a small cubicle at MWSBF.
Amen to Kyle's comments. Blessed will be the day when we are all free from those audio book cds. There is nothing cooler than getting in my husbands car to run some errands, just to be blasted away by a voice on the car stereo talking about sorcerers and spells.
Allison, I am sorry to inform you that the blessed sound of a narrator reading a book about dragons, wizards, orcs, and giant desert worms is unlikely to end when the 7th Harry Potter comes out. There are thousands of such books and there are thousands more to come. While all science fiction/fantasy books are not equal, there are enough wonderful worlds of fantasy and wonder to explore for a lifetime.
explore a life time? Ian are you forgetting that the world ends on 7/21/2007?
As for you Kyle, me making you listen to Harry Potter was retribution for you making me listen to the Indigo Girls all the time. However, I did really like their song that Cat Stevens went on to steal. What was its name again?
Even responding to you is giving you what you want, but for the record, you have it backwards and as usual wrong. The Indigo Girls and Cat Stevens have at no time ever recorded the same song. Are you happy now!
That would be "Peace Train" of course. I'm glad that listening to it once is now referred to as "all the time."
Even with the correction of the Indigo Girls comment, I'm afraid the damage has been done and I won't be surprised when people begin asking me probing questions relating to the environment, political activism, and lesbians. Thanks.
Back to Cat Stevens though. I heard he just stole another one-this time it was Sheryl Crow's "The First Cut is the Deepest" True?
These issues are rediculous, if the world is actually going to end in a month I do not want to talk about Indigo Girls and Cats Stephens. We should be asking ourselves if Hilary were President, could she stop the publication of HP, or is W. better suited for the task? Or, will the world end regardless of the books release? Or here is a better idea, lets discuss Sherril Crow right before we all die.
Darth Spencer,
I have three comments for now.
Third, I think that everyone is simply too caught up in the moment, with Darth Spencers shattering decryption skills, to even remember his last post--yes Armaggeden is approaching, but we still have Tom Cruise!!
Second, Alison: you have a lot of nerve saying such uncalled-for rude things about Mr. Dale. He is the most accomplished audio-narrator that has come out of England since Yoko Ohno. Isn't it simply awe-inspiring how he interprets the magical timbre of the house elf? He has never even heard one, yet he recreates it with perfection.
And, finally, I may or may not be behind the times, but Cat Stevens is back in action! He recorded another album in 2006, under his own label, called 'An Other Cup.' Also of note is his new name "Yusuf Islam." I know Yusuf sounds foriegn (which it is) but it is simply the Arabic translation of the name "Joseph." A really side note: J's and Y's are often interchangable in the Bible--like the headstrong, Achilles-like king Jehu of the Old Testament. You see his name spelled both Yehu and Jehu, and they are both pronounced with a "Y" sound.
Judson, how would any of these muggles stop the most evil witch of them all, JK Rowling, from publishing this book and brining an end to the world.
Miguel, if anyone can stop her, you are correct, it will be the chosen one, Tom Cruise.
So now Cat Stevens is stealing from Sheryl Crow. You know, its no suprise to me that Cat Stevens has turned his back on this great nation. Otis, dont buy "An Other Cup." All proceed of Yusof's new album go to finance Al Queda.
Don't use my name.
