Here is a list of things that we know about book seven:
Character Information We will find out something "incredibly important" about Lily Potter We will find out who R.A.B. is We will discover more about Dumbledore's past We will discover where Snape's loyalties lie. Something will be revealed about Petunia Dursley, although it will not be that she is a Squib Viktor Krum will return (World Book Day, 2004 interview) We will see a reappearance of Dolores Umbridge - "It's too much fun to torture her not to have another little bit more before I finish." (MuggleNet/Leaky Interview) JKR has said, "There is a character who does manage, in desperate circumstances, to do magic quite late in life, but that is very rare..."
Plot Information Harry will face Voldemort for the final time Harry will be attempting to find and destroy Voldemort’s remaining Horcruxes Harry will return to the Dursleys' during the school vacation, but the magical protection Dumbledore arranged will expire on his 17th birthday when he comes of age Harry will visit Godric's Hollow There will be a reappearance of the two-way mirror We will see the wedding of Fleur and Bill Weasley The fact that Harry "has his mother's eyes" will prove to be an important plot point At least one character will die
Other The last word is expected to be "scar," but may change We will finally learn the full reason why some people become ghosts when they die and others don't The final chapter, which has already been written, will detail what happens to the characters that survive There will be no more Quidditch matches

And we also now know when it will be released!
JKRowling.com was updated today with news that Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, the seventh and final book in the series, will be released on July 21st, 2007, one week after the fifth movie hits theaters.
Scholastic has followed with a press release in which Lisa Holton, President of Scholastic Children's Books said: "We are thrilled to announce the publication date of the seventh installment in this remarkable series. We join J.K. Rowling's millions of readers - young and old, veterans and newcomers - in anticipating what lies ahead." You can read the full press release here.
The hardcover will sell for $34.99 with the deluxe edition fetching $65.00. These high prices could mean the book will be longer than any of the previous six.
