Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe says he's looking forward to playing the boy wizard's death scene.

The actor has also let slip in a new interview that Albus Dumbledore comes back into the story, despite being supposedly dead.

Harry is widely rumoured to die in the seventh book, which is published in the summer.

Author J.K Rowling has kept the plot a closely-guarded secret.

But Radcliffe told the German version of Vanity Fair: "I'm looking forward to the death scene. It would be great to be able to play that."

He also revealed that Hogwarts headmaster Dumbledore, who was apparently killed by Snape, would return.

Radcliffe hinted, too, that Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows might hit the shops on July 7 - two weeks earlier than scheduled.

The movie version of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is in UK cinemas from July 13.
