Click on the hair scrunchie to get to the office door. You'll see a Christmas tree in the mirror -- click on it and the door will open. If you click on the packages, the tags will pop up with the questions written on them. If you need help with the questions, the answers are available at www.the-leaky-cauldron.org. |

A little depressed. I was so excited this morning when I heard she was done, but 7 months to release? Why so long?

Proof reading? Corrections? Partial Rewrites and then they probably have to produce close on to 15 million copies before release date (otherwise they won't be ready for the demand).
So I guess that could easily take 7 months!

I guess you are right. I was just hoping for a Spring release (Aprilish).

WOW this is great....I cant wait to read it...I honestly wasn't even expecting it so soon FANTASTIC Roz is right, there is a lot of behind-the-scenes stuff that has to be done before the book can be released...it has to be perfected even before it can be published. Writers are commonly great with their writing but often make punctuation and grammical errors. |

FTY are you sure you won't be locking up the book and reading it later?
I had to do that with the last book; I got my mum to lock it in her filing cabinet until exams were over... |

What if it's longer than OOTP? You can't do it in one sitting if it is... can you?
