Perfect sense, except that it leaves out one small point:  JKR has to 
finish the book!  Maybe the date is July 2002 because she really truly 
won't be finished until ____ months before then (fill in however many 
months it takes to print & distribute a book).  If that leaves a 
longer gap than her publishers would like between the movie and the 
book, c'est la guerre.  Or c'est la litterature, I should say.
