We now have a title for Harry Potter VII. But if you want to find out for yourself, visit J.K. Rowling's Web site and play a little game of hangman.

Rowling's U.S. publisher, Scholastic, Inc., released a brief statement Thursday announcing the name of the world's most anticipated children's book, the finale to her phenomenally popular, seven-book fantasy series.

Rowling is still working on the book, she wrote on her Web site in an entry posted early Thursday.

"I'm now writing scenes that have been planned, in some cases, for a dozen years or even more,'' she wrote. "I don't think anyone who has not been in a similar situation can possibly know how this feels: I am alternately elated and overwrought. I both want, and don't want, to finish this book (don't worry, I will.)''

She gave no new clues about what will happen in the book.

Previously she has said two characters will die, and hinted Harry might not survive.

Meanwhile, she set up a little game for her Potter fans on her website, with a pathway of clickable graphics leading to a game of hangman that will reveal the book's title. Or you can just take Scholastic's word for it: "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.''
