Scuttlebut on dates

[edisbevan]

Word that seems to be going round on a couple of launch dates...

The next HP film will be timed for launch a few weeks AFTER the 
launch of the next Lord Of The Rings film... that means a later 
launch than many expect now.

Consequence:
The next HP book has been delayed in step with this - indications are 
that advertising for the book will follow the film on launch, so some 
weeks after the film launch before the book hits the shops...


My source?
Lets just say that the son of a friend is a computer graphics 
technician in the UK film industry. As far as you all are concerned 
it is just possible that he is working on an interesting film.

Could all be industry gossip of course...

On this basis my guess for the book is February 2003
