Bloomsbury publishing director Liz Calder said the next and final Harry Potter book is "likely" to be released in 2007... she hopes.
At the British Council's Creative Future
conference in India this week, Calder allegedly said as much in an interview with Indo-Asian News Service:
"One more 'Harry Potter' only but she (Rowling) said from the beginning that she would write seven. So she would not write another one after this. But Rowling would write other books for us," said Liz.
"The next 'Harry Potter' book is likely to come out in 2007. I hope so."
While Calder's comments are optimistic at best, she's one of only a handful of people other than Jo herself who could make such a weighty prediction.

She makes it sound as if it is very uncertain. I hope not though, because any later than 2007 will be too long for me.

Ok so it seems like it's more yes than no. As weird as this may sound I kind of dont want book 7 to come out. That will be the official end to the Harry Potter series. After book 7 all we'll have is the movies then after that we'll have no more Potter. I just dont know if i'm ready for that.

Sigh! No matter how eagerly I'm waiting for the seventh book...I can't imagine it's the last one! I'll miss HP! I know there'll be the movies to finish, but there's nothing like the books. I don't think any of her other writing will be like this. She put everything in this series!

That's nice. Making us hopeful. Giving us sonmething that will probably not come true, destroying our very lives... just kidding. I do wish that her predictions comes true.

I don't know why but I expected the 7th book to come out this summer, even though HBP just came out last summer. I suppose this will prolong the end of Harry Potter. I hope all of JKR's future books are just as good.

At least it is something to hope for... it is what I suspected anyway... but you never know... If history repeats itself, we will be getting the title of book 7 this fall.

Yeah, I heard the 7/7/07 rumor and it seems like that'll be around the time the book's out...hopefully. Man, only one more to go. I have mixed feelings about this.

Book 7 seems rather soon, maybe by next summer it will be released..I can't exactly figure out whether that is a longer time than JKR has taken so far to write her books. I trust she will surprise us once more, anyway...

The sooner the better, i'd say. I would love for it to come out in 2007. I've heard rumors that it is to be released on 07/07/07. But thats just a rummor so who knows.

How do they expect me to wait another year! But I really hope she writes an afterwards story, maybe not about harry, but another kid who goes to hogwarts and she only writes his first year and says how he looks up to the great Harry Potter.

I am sort of sad that this will be the last book, but I guess I have been expecting it so, it will be ok... As for 7/7/07-bring it on! If this ends up being the date, the HP world will be having a huge party:)

I hope it is soon. It would be great if it was early 2007 since we know it wont be this year. It is so sad that she will not be writing anymore Harry Potters. We could hope she changes her mind in the future but it is likly not to happen.
