She has started it, and she says it's coming along very easily and is really enjoying writing it, so I don't know where you got the idea that she hadn't even started it yet. I've hear that it's coming out anywhere between June this year (which sounds a bit dodge) and June 2005... but it would all depend on the publishers... she can write and quick as she wants and get it to them, but they're the one's that decide on the release date... I reckon 2005 any time between Jan and June... if not december, depending on if it's finished etc. Dec would be good coz it's in time for chrissie... who knows.
I know it's hell to wait that long especially since we had to wait so long for Ootp and then the movie (3) was delayed but I guess they don't want to release all the books at such a pace that the movies can't keep up. Otherwise by the time the 4th movie is released we'd already be on book 7 which is supposedly going to be her last for a while at least while she experiments in other genres. Hence after that the build up or hype and demand for the movies might fall abit which wouldn't be good for profit and merchandising 😉 especially if sales of the books go down or they are not well received.
OMG I hope it is this summer I am nearly on prozac througjh waiting lol, however i have become addicted to harry draco fanfics and wow there are some very talanted people, my current favourites are golden tinted spectacles and unite or crumble no offence to anyone meant but I am routing for harry draco shippers aswell as ron an hermy although not everyone can access these as I am over 20 yrs old some wont be appropriate to those readers under seventeen but they are deffinately a wow factor to keep me going till the next movie an book release. 😮💨
