Harry Potter creator J.K. Rowling revealed that two characters will die in the upcoming seventh and final volume in her best-selling series, the Associated Press reported. "The final chapter is hidden away, although it's now changed very slightly," she said in a live interview on Channel 4's Richard & Judy in the United Kingdom, the AP reported. "One character got a reprieve. But I have to say two die that I didn't intend to die. A price has to be paid. We are dealing with pure evil here. They don't target extras do they? They go for the main characters. Well, I do."

Rowling wouldn't reveal if one of the two characters is Harry himself. She added that she has never been tempted to kill him off before the final book because she had always planned seven.

"I can completely understand, however, the mentality of an author who thinks, 'Well, I'm going to kill them off because that means there can be no non-author written sequels," she said. "So it will end with me, and after I'm dead and gone they won't be able to bring back the character.'"

Rowling also confessed that she is feeling sad that her days writing the books are almost over, the Reuters news service reported. Rowling, who is currently completing the seventh Potter book went to a garden party for 2,000 children at Buckingham Palace in London on June 25 to celebrate Queen Elizabeth's 80th birthday. But, she allowed: "I am feeling sad as it is the last one. But so far, so good."

Pressed on when the book would be ready for publication, she would only say: "I'm doing well, I think. You can never really tell 'til you get near the end. I am not quite there yet."
