forseeable future? Maybe they're just saying the rumor that it'll be out in june isn't true? Hopefully fairly soon though, I don't want to be old when the last one comes out (hehe)

I was pretty sure it was going to be Summer '06.

Informal poll time: Will she keep it to th 7 books she swore would be the entire series, or will she sell out and make the series continue on until it sucks?

No news on her website, except that she's working on it.

I'm guessing she might do another book that sums everything up, but not keep going forever.

I'm betting she stops at 7. Eventually, possibly after she dies, someone will authorize additional books set in the Wizarding world, ala the Star Wars universe.

She'll stop at Seven.

But at this rate, my grandchildren will be getting it for me for Christmas.

She'll stop at book 7. Then I think she'll start something new, maybe when her kids are in high school.

Ah, but you see, The Leaky Cauldron is saying that it may possibly be sooner.

I believe!

It says on the news page of her sight, that her third child is racing the book into the world. So her being pregnant would be a reason to delay finishing the book.

HOLY CRAP!

The welcome message has changed from:

This is where I can tell you the truth about rumours or news stories, where I can share the extra information I haven't put in the books, where I can give you hints and clues about what's going to happen to Harry next, and where I can announce I've finished book six... and no, that's not going to happen very soon.

What's that mean?!?

Also, there's a Chrismas Tree on the site.

Maybe she isn't going to go through amazon.com to distribute at all ?

I haven't read any of them... :hides:

here's an updated email I got 20 minutes ago:

quote:
We're writing to correct a recent e-mail notification that we sent about "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (Book 6)."

In our e-mail, we stated that this title would not be immediately available from our suppliers, and that you may want to search for it elsewhere. While it's true that "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" is not yet ready for eager readers, we do plan to notify you by e-mail when this book is available for pre-order on our web site.

We assure you that howlers have been sent to the muggles responsible for this action and we are investigating the possibility that You-Know-Who may have been involved.

We apologize for the incorrect notification that you received. Thank you for shopping at Amazon.com.

Sincerely,

Customer Service
