Harry Potter web site MuggleNet is reporting that the release date for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince may be announced in January 2005. MuggleNet states that they have received numerous tips from bookstores stating that they have been given memos warning them to expect a release date for book 6 to be announced in January 2005 and to be prepared for questions from the public.
According to MuggleNet
:
What gets booksellers almost as excited as the holiday season?
HARRY POTTER!
The book world is abuzz with rumors that J.K. Rowling may announce the publication date for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince soon. Our children's buyer tells us that we can expect an announcement sometime in January.
Well, that's all we know so far. We want to be ready, so we can start communicating with our customers as soon as the announcement occurs!
You will be receiving an endcap sign that encourages customers to sign up for an e-mail alert at www.waldenbooksstores.com/hp6.
The release date will certainly be announced on JK Rowling's official site and you can also sign up at HPANA’s site Half-Blood Prince.info to get notification of the release date as soon as we know it.
As always treat this as a rumor until confirmed by the proper sources.

I'm surprise that JKR hasn't commented on this yet, but I'm not going to believe anything until she confirms it herself.

Wonder if she'll announce on Christmas day on her website a publishing date of January? That would be too awesome! Anyone know how long it normally takes to run prints of the books? I think I remember reading somewhere it takes a few months to get all the copies made to get out?

Hey guys, don't you realise that this is nothing??They are TELLING US NOTHING.They believe the release date will be announced in January and this is neither officially assured, nor relevant...We all know it won't be published before the GoF movie, don't we?

well... in point of fact this particular rumor might be true because on her official site she says that her "third child is racing Harry's next adventure into the world" so hey, it might be true.... my guess is it's released sometime next summer

I really really hope that this rumor is true!!! It would be so awesome just to know when it's coming out... so I don't get my little hopes crushed every time I hear a new rumor (that some tiny part of me wants to believe) that the book is coming by X date.
Wouldn't Jo put something so significant on her site though?

I don't know... But I really can't believe that HBP is going to be released so soon. After all, even if she finish the book before the baby is born, she still has to do the editting stuff, right... I don't know. I don't think she is going to work right after the baby is born... But... I really hope I'm wrong

What does it mean on Ms. Rowling's website when the pen mug is on it's side? Is it a sign or something?
I agree that we will get some news as a "Christmas Present" and most likely as a "New Years Gift"
