it sure is a pain waiting for this book, I'll just wait until I see the it in the book stores. There probably be a line around the bookstore, and a media crew taping them.

The publisher doesn't even know yet. They were aiming for this past summer, then this coming holiday season, but Ms. Rowling hasn't turned in her draft yet, so next summer may seem more likely. Seems like she may have a bit of writer's block.

There was a review of the Chamber of Secrets movie at AICN a few days ago, and the spy posted a spoiler for Book 5 that I hadn't heard anything about.
Has anyone else heard anything like that?

Little bit of Harry Potter news
Take it as you will....

J K Rowling and the top secret
By Brian MacArthur
MILLIONS of children and their parents can relax. J. K. Rowling was working yesterday on the final stages of the fifth Harry Potter novel. It may even be ready for Christmas.
In an exclusive interview with The Times, Rowling said not only that she has not been suffering from writer’s block but also that she is expecting a new baby to join her daughter Jessica next spring. Amidst the “indescribable mess” in her Edinburgh office, there is a “little oasis”, she says, where the manuscript is stacked, “nice, neat, pristine and big” — as big, she thinks, as The Goblet of Fire (636 pages).
The words have been flowing, she says, in spite of the action against her in the United States where she was falsely accused of plagiarism, an accusation comprehensively dismissed by a judge in New York on Tuesday night. The novel, entitled Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, is already readable and she is happy with the result. She is now at the tweaking stage. So can her millions of readers expect a Christmas present? “Possibly”. There is a deep, throaty chuckle.
Some would interpret that warm chuckle as a “Yes”, I suggest. “Maybe”, she murmurs, meanwhile emphasising that the decision when to publish rests with Bloomsbury, her publisher. The Goblet of Fire emerged from a long and painful labour, and the editing was rushed to meet her publisher’s deadline. She was determined that she would not allow herself to be rushed on the fifth novel.
Rowling has now plotted the sixth and seventh novels, and after 11 years considers that she is on the home stretch. The seventh Harry Potter, she confirms, will definitely be the last.

Oh cripes - JK can just drop the "coy" act, right about now.
The new novel will most likely hit bookstores almost precisely at the same time "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" hits the megaplex.
Gotta crank that marketing machine on all cylinders, people.

Author J. K. Rowling may not have finished the eagerly awaited new Harry Potter book, but a new arrival is on the way after all - she's expecting her first child with her new husband. The 37-year-old writer of the popular series of children's books, and now blockbuster movies, has confirmed she DR Neil Murray, who she married last year, are expecting their first child. A spokesperson says, "J. K. Rowling and Dr. Neil Murray are delighted to confirm that they are expecting a baby in the spring." Rowling, first name Joanne, has one child, Jessica, 9, from a previous marriage, and has been under reported pressure to deliver the new installment of the Potter series, the fifth of seven, despite suffering from writer's block.

Didn't I read somewhere that the plagairism lawsuit was just through out by a judge this week, and she claimed that it had been interfering with her ability to finish the next book? At the same time she swore up and down that this was definitely not a case of writer's block, but a case of lawsuit stress.
Sounds like a case of writer's block.
