This is topic I got an email from Amazon.com about the Harry Potter six release date *Updated* in forum Books, Films, Food and Culture at Hatrack River Forum.
quote: You previously signed up to be notified when Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (Book 6) became available. Unfortunately, we've learned from our supplier that this item will not be available from our suppliers in the foreseeable future.

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?
Posted by Ela (Member # 1365) on :
No news on her website, except that she's working on it.
Posted by breyerchic04 (Member # 6423) on :
I'm guessing she might do another book that sums everything up, but not keep going forever.
Posted by Dagonee (Member # 5818) on :
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.
Posted by jeniwren (Member # 2002) on :
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!

Ohhh... jkrowling.com has new rumors!!!
Posted by breyerchic04 (Member # 6423) on :
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.

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:
