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.

Oh Yes, this IS VERY good news. =] I heard from somebody ( a rumor) that it was going to come out in the summer too... like it did for the half blood prince. Hmmm, something to think about~!

Of course it's coming out in 2007. The best scenario would be having it come out this year, but since that's impossible... 2007 is the next best thing!
I'm betting it'll be 07/07/07 when we see the next (and last!) HP book.

Bring it on! I want to get my hands on that book! If only it wasn't the last one.... That will be so neat if it comes out next year. It kinda makes sense, book 7 coming out in 2007. :) I can't wait!

I really do hope it will come out next year, but I think it will probably be late in 2007.

I really hope that book seven will be ready by 2007 because I don't think I'll be able to bear waiting any longer!! I can't believe that this will be the last Harry Potter book; there won't be any more after this...what will i do?

I think it's pretty much coming out in 2007...I mean, it's been said all along that it is likely to come out then...it's just nice to know that it might have a confirmation without ACTUALLY telling us...or so I'm saying...I'd be surprised if it DIDN'T come out in 2007...hehe!

Jo will probably take a much needed hiatus before venturing into another type of book. Harry has been her "child" for such a long time. It is difficult to imagine that there will only be 1 more book.

I just want to know what the title is, I wanna start guessing things about the new book. it makes it more fun with the title. I think its more of a mystery or a puzzle that I wanna figure out. I love guess up things on my own and then finding out if I was right at all.

I know she says it will all be over but will it really all be over? Can any of us really let go? Even if Daniel's prediction of Harry's death comes true? I think not. We are the new "Trekies". They can't let go and why should we?

OOOHHH!!! I just can't wait. I wish that it would come out this year, but if not, in 2007 sounds like a great year. It would be completely awesome if it came out on 7/7/07. It would be perfect.I really hope it is a long book so that I could enjoy it longer.

That would be nice, but I think our hope of 7.7.2007 is maybe too optimistic, considering the release date of the new movie. Although they'd be great press and I would get my Harry fix fed :)

I read it somewhere on the internet that the book will come out on 7/7/07. So one more year. I hope it's a long book (like book 6) and i'm so sad because it's the last one and 2 characters are going to die. Personaly, i think dumbledore is not really dead and that snape isn't a bad guy afterall, and all of what happened was just to let voldemort trust snape more. I think voldemort and harry are going to die.
