Hotline Opens to Counsel Heartbroken Potter Fans

A British book retailer plans to set up a counseling hotline for all heartbroken fans of Harry Potter, in case he dies in the much awaited next book.

The seventh and final book of J. K. Rowling includes the death of a main character. The author has said that two characters die in the final installment - and fans will be desperate to discover if Harry is one of them.

The book is already topping the charts at Amazon.com and BarnesandNoble.com, and a deluxe edition of the book is second despite a hefty pricetag.

Author J.K. Rowling has said earlier this week that "Harry Potter and Deathly Hallows", which tells the story of Harry during his final year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, would come out July 21.

As a single mother on welfare more than a decade ago, Rowling used to sit in cafes near the Balmoral while writing her first book, "Harry Potter And The Philosopher's Stone."

Since then, Rowling - who lives in Edinburgh with her husband and children - has seen her books sell more than 325 million copies in 64 languages.

Four hit movies already have been adapted from the Potter books. The fifth film, "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix," is scheduled to come out July 13, eight days before the release of "Deathly Hallows."
