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.

Oooh, that is exciting!!! I really hope that the book will be here next year. I don't think I can wait any longer. But it probably wont be round the time of the fifth movie, as I think most of us fans would prefer the book over the movie.

Hmm.. I still think that it will come out in 2008. I actually kinda hope it will, because I like the long excitement before a book is released. L0L :)

Well I must say that i wish there were more Harry Potter books coming out. I also must say that I will probably read ANYTHING that Jo writes in the future... but in my time of waiting "Narnia" will have to do....

Come on 7/7/07. That's what I'm hoping for along with most everyone else on this site. I sincerely hope it does even though OoTP will be out 7/13/07. I don't think it would be a problem to release the two so close togethor. At least that's what I'm hoping for.

*crossing fingers for a 2007 release* Would love to see what kind of books JKR would write after.

I really do hope that it will come out in 2007. I'd hate to have to wait until 2008 for the book! Especially since that would mean there would be a three year wait between book six and seven. But I guess as long as it's as good as it can get, then I guess it'd be all right if it came out later than 2007 but I'm still hoping for 2007!

*sigh* I wish that they would tell us a date already. It's killing me inside that I don't know! I am anticipating J.K. Rowling's future books. She's such an amazing writer. *admires*

We don't want likely, we want definitely. Actually we want it out this year, but since we don't like to rush JKR, then we will semi-patiently wait for next year. Well, we are waiting for the OOTP movie anyway, might as well wait for both.

January 1, 2007 would be awesome. Forget waiting for the ball to drop -- let's wait for copies of HP7 to drop instead!

So Sad....just like when the end of a movie trilogy comes and then its all over. Its just a memory. I am going to be sad when the final book comes out. Sad and Happy i guess. But then again... She would write other books for us. Well I hope she creates another world full of mystery, fantasy, and adventure in every corner.
