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.

Wow, I really hope this is true. Like everyone else, I am dying for the release date.
Hey, I'm getting to the point where I wouldn't mind if JKR said it was going to be in 3 years time. I just want some indication of how much longer we have to wait!

Hmm... Actually i don't think January will be good! Actually i wanna wait another half year! Why? Because i don't think the world is ready yet. I simply don't.
We have waited so long now, but for some reason i wanna wait just a few months more. I really don't hope it comes out in January 2005!
If it does, it's okay...

Even though they are going to state the release date for the book. it may not be for another couple months. I hope this is true because then it will confirm my beliefs on when the book is going to be released.

YAY! This is excellent news!
Even if it is just a rumour, it goes to show that everyone is waiting for the book, and top publishers normally have a pretty good idea of when books are released... I don't think I'm making much sense, but basically, I can't wait for HBP!

Oh, I do hope it's true or I'll just fall apart. I guess it's true, but just let us cross our fingers in hope. If it's announced in January, it's definitively coming out in the summer.

I definitely hope so. I've reread the first 5 books so many times I know them by heart. I need HBP to come out so I can reorganize my theories and finally get some peace on some ideas. There will be more answers than questions in HBP.
