HARRY POTTER mania reached fever pitch last night as the final instalment of the tale was released.

More than 1000 fans lined streets around the London Waterstone’s store, where 20 diehard fans had been since 2pm on Wednesday.

And Dundee went wizardwacky last night as hundreds of muggles queued throughout the city.

Borders and Waterstone’s both opened at midnight to break into the first crates of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, while Asda’s Milton of Craigie store held a launch party and set aside a till after the chain announced they would sell the book at £5.

Hordes of young fans lined up to be the first to find out the fate of the Hogwarts students—with speculation rife Harry himself could meet his demise.

“I think Harry’s going to die,” said Christopher Pill (13) at the front of the Asda Milton queue.

Mother and daughter Kirsty and Mhari Duncan were looking forward to reading the book together.

Seven-year-old Levi Leith said, “I loved the battle at the end of The Order of the Phoenix—which was my favourite book so far. There’s definitely going to be a bigger battle in this one though.”
