She was sued for plagurism(sp) but she won they said there were simmilarities but all books about that subject(witchcraft ect.) have them.

Well, it looks like the manuscript for 5 does has some finished content at least

sad story

BeardofPants · 12-29-2002, 02:53 AM

Er, that story is quite an old one -- she read book number 4 to the child, not 5.

Coney · 12-29-2002, 02:55 AM

oops

BeardofPants · 01-03-2003, 01:26 AM

Looks like the book will have an April/May release, all things going well. According to this site, JK Rowling has finished Order of the Phoenix.

Book V publication rumours

UKHarryPotter reports that an official notice has been sent to bookstores stating the book will be available between February and May of this year. We would love if this were true but a few things point opposite ways:
We have not yet heard from Bloomsbury. Getting anyone's hopes up this way would be very irresponsible had Bloomsbury not a manuscript in their hands, and they've shown no signs of being so irresponsible, especially when so much money is concerned. And when Bloomsbury has a manuscript in their hands, we're going to know on a grand scale, as soon as they mean us to. A date will come from Bloomsbury.
Word that the book is with Bloomsbury and awaiting the setting of a publication date is another matter, and as that confirmation has to come from JKR herself or at least her people, your guess as to who it goes to first.
JKR is pregnant. Without meaning any disrespect, that's got to be slowing things down, and for good reason. The four-month wait post-submission may well be extended by delivery and early care for her new (and we dearly hope healthy) baby. The four-month wait is very conservative - and if the book was handed in tomorrow it would mean early May publication at the earliest, without extended time due to maternal issues.
As we reported on 12/21, Scholastic recently announced that they expect the book for their 2004 fiscal year, which starts on June 1, 2003 - the day after May ends. If there's one thing they're not going to fool with its their financial planning, so that's a valuable source, there.
Sorry to be a damp rag, and I hope I'm wrong, but we probably won't see this book until summer. (Boo.)

nice source!

Coney · 01-15-2003, 03:39 PM

It's coming out in June (alledgedly)

That's what they're saying on the news!

At last! We've been waiting a long time for this. And unlike the LOTR movies, when we know the release dates, the publication date was soooo open ended. But at least this book is even longer than Goblet of Fire.

BeardofPants · 01-16-2003, 01:52 AM

Finally! I've only had it backordered from amazon for over a year.

Beleg Strongbow · 01-16-2003, 02:19 PM

Official Amazon.com Release date is June 21st
(I think)

**crickhollow** · 01-16-2003, 03:14 PM

Here is the official announcement from Bloomsbury. YAY!!!

Wow, folks, you are on top of things!

sun-star · 01-16-2003, 04:26 PM

Finally! More Harry Potter! This'll be my treat for after my exams

GandalfTheWhite · 01-20-2003, 02:03 AM

BEST NEWS IVE HAD ALL DAY!!! I CANT WAIT!

GandalfTheWhite · 01-20-2003, 02:05 AM

BEST NEWS IVE HAD ALL DAY!!! I CANT WAIT! Those teasers are just terrible, and i am very pleased to hear it will be longer!

Radagast The Brown · 01-24-2003, 05:33 PM

Did you read the quotes from the book? there were two, I think...

When the book will be published in Britain, remeber i HAVE to wait few months to read it!!!!

Did you know that the book will be longer than the forth? more than 750 pages, from what I heard.

Estel13 · 01-24-2003, 09:19 PM

I'm new to this thread (duh!)

HP5 is out June 24th, 2003. One prediction I heard was that Hermione becomes a prefect. ( As if she's not perfect enough!) Ron's my fave character. Dumbledore is NOT a traitor!!!

I'll be around.

Radagast The Brown · 01-26-2003, 04:40 PM

I think HP is out in 21st in June.

Estel13 · 01-27-2003, 07:53 PM

Well, if it is the 21st, that's even better!

I wonder who, or what, the new Defense Against The Dark Arts teacher is?

Has anyone here ever read Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them or Quidditch Through The Ages? I have and they are so good!

I think Quidditch is extremely cool!

My fave book is Goblet of Fire. Malfoy, the amazing bouncing ferret.

A rumor: Book #6 is called Harry Potter and the Green Flame. Makes you think, doesn't it? I wonder if Hermione & Krum ever got together?

If they did, I think I can already hear Ron teasing her. Anyone ever play the games on PlayStation One? If so, I have beaten both 100%, so if anyone is stuck, I can give you some tips. Who are they going to get to play Dumbledore, I wonder?

Richard Harris was really good. He'll be hard to replace.

Sorry if this is real long.

I'll be around!

I think its the 21st. Its already a #1 bestseller too!
I was thinking that maybe Fleur (spelling?) might be the new Defense Against the Dark Arts Teacher because at the end of the Goblet of Fire she said she wanted to get a job nearby to improve her Eenglish.
I also heard about The Green Flame, but I don't think its definite. It does make you think though. What do you think it means?
I really hope that Ron and Hermione get together. I thought it was pretty obvious in the last book, and they just seem so perfect for each other.
