OoP not out until fall?

[katzefan]

News item out of Ottawa suggests OoP publication date will be in
fall.

" J.K. Rowling's new book, tentatively titled The Order of the
Phoenix, was expected in stores this July. The author is reportedly
still writing the book, according to Tessa Vanderkop, the publicity
manager at Rowling's Canadian publisher, Raincoast
Books.  But she cautioned fans not to worry.
"... Ms. Rowling's British publisher, Bloomsbury, and her American
publisher, Scholastic, are reportedly hoping the book will be
ready for the fall, before the November release of the
second Potter movie, Harry Potter and the Chamber of
Secrets. Vanderkop is hoping for the same date. 
"....Rumours the author is plagued by writer's block are unfounded. 
"I don't think that's the case. Every writer has different problems,
but she knows what she wants to do with this
series." Ms. Vanderkop said from Raincoast Books' head
office in Vancouver. "

Etc., etc. 


(... and, of course, Rowling writes longhand, which is bound to take
a bit more time...)
