Last fall when J.K. Rowling announced the title of the last Harry Potter novel I did a list of my predictions for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows and wouldn't you know it, I'm still getting comments and visits on that post with people adding their two cents on what's going to happen.Well we're down to the final week people and to sweeten the wait I'm hosting a small contest.
I want you to guess the last word of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. That's right, the very last word. We've tossed this around our dinner table a bit and have come up with our own thoughts but I'd like to see what you have to say.
To play along, leave a comment below with your prediction, putting the one word in quotation marks so there's no confusion as to which word you mean. I will accept entries until Friday morning July 20th at 1 am Alaska time and you can enter as many times as you'd like (each in a separate comment please) but it's first-come-first-serve. Whoever claims a word first gets it so check the comments to see if the one you fancy has been taken. There are nearly 900,000 words in the language so there's plenty to go around.
Your word must match exactly--spelled exactly the way it is in the last sentence of the last paragraph of the last page just before the last period. I'm going to have to be picky so make sure you are a good speller. And it must be the last word of the main text, a "The End" or an epilogue doesn't count.
Why all these rules? Because I'm offering a prize, that's why! The first commenter to correctly guess the last word will get to choose between a copy of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows or two tickets to see Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix via Fandango (now playing in theaters). If no one is able to guess it then I'll do a random drawing from all the entries.
I will announce the winner on Saturday night so check back to see if it was you. You'll need to then email me to claim your prize. I'm sorry but only U.S. residents are eligible for the prize--though don't let that stop you from adding your comment.

this is erin. i am also the anonomyous personwho entered a comment right before the one by erin. i know for an absolute fact that the last word is "scar" i have inside sources. all i ask is how the heck this cotest person is going to contact the winner. i sure as heck am not leaving my email address on the web. do you know how many scammers are out there???
Sorry Erin, but according to Yahoo, Rowling said in an interview in the last month or two that she changed the ending and the last word is no longer scar. Even if it was, if you'd notice about a gajillion other people already said scar for the same reason you did. Also, the post states the way the prize will be awarded and the winner contacted.

Harry Lives!!
Long Live Harry!!!
