According to JKR's interviews, the longest it has ever taken her (prior to OOTP which took so long b/c of that dang court case) more than 12 months to write one of her books. She started on book 6 at least by October or November - no, no, wait, perhaps by last July or August. So, it may be that we have a book, most definitely (as Baty has said) by November. :spin: :hat: :wizard2:

From an interview on 6 June 2003
JP: You mentioned in the previous books you finished one and immediately started the next. Have you started the sixth one? JKR: Yeah. JP: How far are you into it? JKR: Not that far because I had a baby. But yeah, I started it when I was still pregnant with David. And I actually did get some writing done the other day, and that's not bad going considering he's only ten weeks. So he's pretty full time at the moment. But yeah I did a bit more the other day. JP: Has Book Five - that thing that's the size of a house brick - it was originally much longer than that, was it? JKR: No, actually it wasn't . It's about the size - originally I thought it would be slightly shorter than Goblet of Fire - and what is the phrase? The tale grew in the telling. It did. The thing is, I've got so much now, so much backstory to tell, but I really mean it this time. Six will not need to be that long. I had to move them around a lot in there, there's a lot of to-ing and fro-ing in there. |

Jump for joy, we won't have to wait for 3 years. :col: I'm crying because I'm so happy.
I need to know what happened to Sirius... and what's going to happen in the next battle. Harry's going to get a minor but lasting injury so you know the fight will have to be juicy. Plus everyone will know that Voldemort's back. Off to cloud 9 then, see you guys later. :cloud9: |

I am just counting down the days until Bloomsbury comes out with the re-issued adult version books in july 8th. and july 10th for the 5th book. those book covers look so much better. Maybe after I get them, I wont have to hide behind a discussion board, and can come out in the open...admitting I am an adult harry potter fan. pictures

Seth there are a lot of “us” out here. I am 24 and everyone I work with love the Harry Potter books too. In fact I was talking to one of the Doctors I work with about the books last night. I found it amusing that he made time to read HP while in medical school and thought his residency.

Well, NOT that I am ashamed, but we have a stretchy fabric book cover on OotP, so #1 our book jacket is in great condition on the shelf, and #2 no one knows WHAT we are carrying around... very mysterious! :ph34r:

my m8s always groan wen i mention the word Harry! I'm glad adults read it, now i dont feel so foolish every time my mum goes
"you are far too old for those books, they are for children" Whatever Mum! Maybe i should make her read them, but then i guess she would never cook the tea etc, she would be reading all the time!

After two years of trying I finally convinced my mom to read the books. She's had them for over 3 months now, but is only as far as page 60 or so in SS. But it's okay, as long as she reads them, i'm happy. Now if I can just get my sister and grandmother to read them..... :spin:

I don't tend to read out and about, but if I did I wouldn't be ashamed. I read hp, most of the people out there probably have, and if they say they havent, they're probably lying.
