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.

2007 sounds pretty solid as a release date, but depending on how long it takes to write the book, that release date window could be missed. Let's keep our fingers crossed!

YES! It is awesome to hear that from such a reliable source. I have been fearing that the release date would end up being pushed very far back. This is great news!

I hope to see it in 2007! Not in the same time of the movie but christmas 2007 could be a good date? We were saying the 7-7-7 but with the movie I think the chances are little...

I both hpoe it does come out in 2007 but i dont as well. If it does, it means we get to read it at last. if it comes out later, it means J.K's going to improve the book to the highest standard that she can.

Yea! I'm so happy, I'm so happy I'm so happy-I'm delirious. If you can't tell Yea! I'm so happy, I'm so happy I'm so happy-I'm delirious. If you can't tell I am so hyped that Harry Potter 7 is “likely” coming out next year!
"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.--Guess that settles the debate on whether or not there will be more Harry Potter books after 7.

I think it would be cool if Rowling were to write other books after she is finshed with the Harry Potter series ( not that I want it to end!!)!!

well, that means that the 7/7/07 could still happen. I hope we get something soon-title or when JO thinks it will be done. *fingers crossed* I am really interested in finding out what the title will be-more so than the publication date.

Oh my god! oh my god! Oh my god! 2007 really isn't that far away!! Hee hee, I hope they could spread it out from the release of the OotP movie, because then we'd get two blasts of HP mania in one year again, and it wouldn't all be over at once.
. . . but still, in a way I don't want the end to come, because then it will be over *sob* but I have to know what happens!
