The new book comes out July 21st (Handily just in time for the start of the summer holidays. Isn't that convenient... although, I suppose it'll keep the kids quiet for a day or so. Or if it's as long as the last three tomes you could always just hit them with it until they stop whining they're bored. Let's hope Ms Rowling got a good editor this time!) - and, unless we're going to have books on Harry's university years, or later life in general... yes it's the last book, he'll either end up dead or being too old to be at Hogwarts unless he's made a member of staff. So, only the rest of the films to be made and then it's all over bar spinoffs and parodies... the end of an era? It'll certainly be a few years before another children's character this iconic turns up.
