Stocks of Scholastic will head north ahead of the publication of JK Rowling's to-be-named seventh book in her Harry Potter series, says
analyst Drew Crum.
"We are compelled by the potential upside in the shares given the impending publication of 'Harry Potter' number seven, when considering the stock's history of advancing and peaking ahead of a book release," he said.
Crum researched educational publishers and found that conditions are ripe for growth, thanks to school budget increases mandated by the "No Child Left Behind" act. Scholastic is doubly special because of its status as the Potter pusher in America.
However, the New York Times last week intimated that books aimed at children will see quite the opposite:
...growth in children's books is expected to decline sharply in 2007, when no Harry Potter book is currently scheduled for publication.

Nobody really knows when book 7 will be released, but they certainly shouldn't be making public statements about something they don't know for sure!

I'f from Britain so it makes no difference to me, but I thought JK had said she could see herself taking a year to write Book 7. So if this was her year to write, next year muyst be the year to publish...mustn't it? Please tell me it's nex year. 2008 is so far away!!!

That is right if is not really proven that the 7th book will be released in 2007, but I would say that it is most likely that it will. Who did declare that it would be released in 2007?

I don't really know what that is on about but all i can say is how do they know when the book will be coming out??? I really hope it does come out in 07. But that last statement is quite intersesting, shows how much they rely on harry potter books.

See Jo needs to write another Potter book or our economy will crumble!!! Ok...not really, but it would still be nice to have another book after 7. I guess we have to let 7 come out and see how it ends before begging for another.

It's nice to hear all this new information, but really, can we at least get the name of book 7 befire we start looking at the statistics? All the stats are nice and all, but I'm sure most HP fans would agree, we just want to know what are last Harry Potter book is going to be called!

I laugh at the pure speculative aspect of the end of this blurb. They have no idea when the book will come out either. Scholastic is just trying to get people to invest in them now because their stock is struggling.

So . . . . uh . . . you mean . . . l0l, that's shame, people don't want to read a book unless Harry Potter is in it. . . that shows a lot about how we operate . . . here in American that is . . .

Child: *gets excited* Yeah, Can we read Harry Potter 7?
Mother: It hasn't come out yet
Child: WHAT!?!?! @#@$ @#$@ $@$# @#$@
