As she completes the final instalment of the hit Harry Potter book series, author J.K. Rowling has come full circle, doing most of her writing in a café.
The Scottish author has been hard at work writing "huge parts" of Book 7 in a local café, she wrote in an entry posted Tuesday on her website.

"I'm writing scenes that have been planned, in some cases, for a dozen years or even more," Rowling 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)."
The final Harry Potter book, in which the young wizard is expected to engage in an all-out battle with his evil nemesis, Lord Voldemort, is expected for release in summer 2007.
Rowling's newest post also mentioned visiting Leavesden Studios, northwest of London, to check the progress on the fifth instalment of the movie franchise, Harry Potter and the Order of The Phoenix, due out in July 2007.
Rowling, now one of the most famous authors in the world, wrote her first Potter book in Edinburgh cafés 13 years ago.
Whenever her eldest daughter Jessica fell asleep, Rowling would put her into a carriage and wheel her to the nearest café, she has previously recounted on the site.
Once there, she would rush to write as much as she could about the now famous boy wizard, his friends and enemies as well as Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, the magical boarding school they attend.
Fans of the internationally beloved Harry Potter franchise, which has sold more than 300 million books worldwide and been translated into 47 languages, are eagerly awaiting the final book.
British author J.K. Rowling has revealed the title of the seventh and final book in the Harry Potter series in an online game on her official website. Contenders would click on items to reveal a chamber, then they would use the clues given and guess the title. After fans played a game they were rewarded with the title of the book which is to be called ''Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows''. She also revealed that Harry had been taking place in her dreams and she was returning to writing in cafes, as she did 13 years ago.

"One character got a reprieve but I have to say that two die that I didn't intend to die," Rowling, 41, said June 27 on ''Richard & Judy'', a television show run in the U.K.

The book is first published in the U.K. by London-based Bloomsbury and then sent to the U.S. by Scholastic Corp.

"I'm writing scenes that have been planned, in some cases, for a dozen years or even more," Rowling wrote on her website. "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)."

The film version of ''Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix'', the fifth book in the series published June 21, 2003, is still in production and will be released in July 2007.

Rowling was inspired to write after her mother died from multiple sclerosis in 1990 and after a marriage breakdown. She started writing in Edinburgh cafés. Whenever her daughter Jessica fell asleep she would put her in a carriage beside her and stroll her to the closest café. 300 million books worldwide have been sold and the series has been translated into 47 languages.

No publication date has been set.
