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.

Wow 2007?! I have heard that the book would be coming out in a few months! Wow, I must be listening to the wrong people. I guess it really does take a lot of time writing/illistrating/and publishing the book.

Please let it be 07/07/07!!! That would be the coolest thing ever. I know that's really close to the release of OOTP movie, but I don't care. What an awesome summer.

I agree, I'd prefer 07/07/07, too, because I'll have the time to go to London then...
...well, most important is that the book is good and so I wouldn't mind if JK Rowling needed more time to finish it!

Wow that's awesome! We can only hope though... we'll just have to wait and see what JKR has to say about this matter. Im not sure I want the last book to be out though, because that means that there'll be no more left :(.

I hope that the book will come out in 2007, but I will also be sad because it will end the series. It is either going to be a good ending, or one we hoped wouldn't happen.

I hate when people are so cryptic and hush hush! I understand why JKR and the publishers can't set a release date yet, but seriously, I'd rather they not say anything at all.

To say a specific time is really hard for us the fans, when we expect something, we want it the way it should have been like the way we imagine it, and when it turns out the opposite, we will be devastated. Take your time, Ms. Rowling, we'll wait.
