On September 20th, I wrote this post about the next Harry Potter Book which referenced this article. In the article, the reporter clearly states the following information:
Rowling told the Journal that the fifth book's delay is due to exhaustion from her last book, the distractions of fame, the length of the manuscript and changes in her personal life. Rowling, who remarried last December and has a nine-year-old daughter, said she is four months pregnant.Although Rowling declined to give a specific date for when she will submit the manuscript, she didn't dismiss a suggestion that the story could be submitted within three to six months. "When will I hand it in? I don't want to say, but it won't be very long," she told the Journal.
Once submitted and thoroughly edited, a finished book could be produced in as little as two months, according to the paper.
Many have speculated that the fifth book is late because the first four Potter books were published every summer since 1997.
But Rowling said she never set a publication date for the fifth one, and put down rumors that she has struggled with writer's block.
"I needed to step off the one-book-a-year treadmill," she told the Journal. "I knew people would say that she's lost it. But that's the price you pay for doing what you need to do -- do good work and maintain quality."
Likewise, her publishers have worked through legal difficulties surrounding the Potter series. Scholastic and Warner Bros. received a summary judgment earlier this week that Rowling hadn't copied any material from children's author Nancy Souffer.
Okay, no let's make sure that it is clear. NO ONE SAID THAT THE NEW BOOK WAS COMING OUT. I NEVER SAID THAT THE NEW BOOK WAS COMING OUT THIS FALL. Most of the morons that posted to that entry didn't even read the article that I posted. They either assumed that it meant it was coming out right away or that I was wrong. Ugh.
Then I updated my post to help the huddled masses further understand what I was saying here, without much success.
Please read everything here before posting......or else be condemned as a fool.
