An eagle-eyed reader has spotted a minute change over at JK Rowling's official site.
According to Kara some of the content on the front page of Rowling's site changed to read: "...and where I can announce I've finished book seven... and no, that's not going to happen very soon." Does this mean we will be hearing more news about Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince soon?
Rowling's previous entry read:
This is where I can tell you the truth about rumours or news stories, where I can share the extra information I haven't put in the books, where I can give you hints and clues about what's going to happen to Harry next, and where I can announce I've finished book six... and no, that's not going to happen very soon.
The new entry now reads:
This is where I can tell you the truth about rumours or news stories, where I can share the extra information I haven't put in the books, where I can give you hints and clues about what's going to happen to Harry next, and where I can announce I've finished book seven... and no, that's not going to happen very soon.
TLC also linked to Google's cache showing the old page. Nobody seems to know when the exact change happened or if this means that book six is nearly done, completely done or if we will be getting a publication date anytime soon.
Thanks to Kara for the head’s up.

NOW all she needs to do is open the door and give us the date of the release of the book!! For all we know it could already be on the site someplace without anyone even knowing aobut.

I do hope that the sixth book would be finish soon. I dislike waiting a lot. I can't stand it. Hopefully the next book will be out next year since it is shorter than book four.
By the way I read somewhere that J.K. Rowling doesn't know when they'll be publishing the book. It is not her decision.

Well, thats some very good spotting there.
I dont know if i would have seen it.
Probably because i dont go to her page everyday, and probably wouldnt have noticed it was different.

Oh my Lord, I saw that! I was just there today, and I saw it! Me being not nearly such a perceptive reader or whatever, especially since I haven't been to JK's site in awhile, didn't take it as anything important, although I should have. *dances around room* Maybe this is finally important and a clue! It does after all come from her site!

I can't wait I'm so excited. Me and my mom love her books they're so interesting and they keep you on the edge of your seat. I respect her for not wanting to reveal anything. When this book comes out I'm going to buy it and read it as soon as I get it. I can't wait to hear what's going to happen!

Well I hope that this is true! How exciting if it is, I had almost resigned myself to wait another year! Still, I'm trying not to get my hopes up too much! Thank goodness Christmas is very soon so we can finally know if she's going to tell us something then!

Mega-tight!! I wonder how long thats been there..... Sneaky JKR...you've got to get up pretty early to be able to figure out Jo's little riddles. In this case, it was in plain sight for anyone to see, exept nobody but someone with a sharp memory would have caught that one.
Mad- props!!!!
