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.

It's sad to now that there is only one more Harry Potter book left! The other books that she writes will not be the same!

I don't want it to be the end of Harry Potter, but I really am curious to see what else JK would write, so I'm glad there's news that she's going to definately write more.

Hmm... Jo will not write about Harry after book 7, but she'll write us other things... Well, I guess it's not so bad after all is it now? I mean, she'll keep us tied to her, and she know that. She'll never be forgot you know, she's amazing! I hope that whatever she decides to write after Harry is as good as Harry. I'm sure she's got something up her sleeve though, so I'll keep my hopes up.

Didn't Jo already predict she would finish in time for a release of next year? Maybe I misunderstood something I read. Anyway I'm still hoping for a release date of 07-07-07
for the book since OoTP will be out the following week.

2007 is fine with me. The longer this goes on the happier I will be. HP can go on forever. I can see peoples grandchildren reading the books and watching the movies just like.. Sesame Street.

AWESOME! I really can't wait for Book 7, even if it's the last one.
2007 should be an HP year with the book and the movie in the same year. ♥

But I thought that they had already confirmed that. Jeez, it is likely to be later than 2007?! That's so annoying!

This is quite sad to think of, the last Harry Potter book. I'm happy to see a end and get answers but at the same time, its like I really don't want it to end. 2007 would be nice. But Im not going to push Jo or anything, I don't mind waiting for a awesome book!

Seems like they are trying to build some interest. She has typically delivered the last books in the later part of the year. Normally between September and December. It then takes about 6-7 months for publication. The earliest I would expect it is around Summer 2007. But I would be surprised if it is out later than fall. They would not want to mess up the Christmas season. Movies may effect the final timing.

It's sad she is not writing anymore books about Harry but she has to stop writing them or they won't be special anymore. But I hope next books that she will write will be just as good as Harry.

Oh Heaven! 2007!
I cannot wait. I sure am excited for whatever Else JKR has to offer us, HP-related or otherwise. I will dutifully be reading her entire catalogue of books as she continues her carreer as a writer.

*G* She probably jinxed it and now it won't be out until 2010, but here's hoping she is right. I dunno if they'll shoot for 7-7-07 with OotP tentatively scheduled to be released around the same time, but I hope so. I'm not really holding much for any books beyond that becuase I think she may actually go back to writing true children's books or something. We'll see.

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!
