not wish to support this rather suspect publication - or have not 
the stomach for Ms Skeeter's somewhat hackneyed reporting 
style - I reproduce a summary below.

News item out of Ottawa suggests OoP will be out in fall. Sent 
this to wrong list originally and was briefly turned into tadpole for 
my transgression.  : )  
Canadian publisher Raincoast Books spokesperson says she 
doesn't think writer's block is the issue.


Thank you, dfrankiswork, for your great summary of Rita 
Skeeter's usual blather. If the GoF plot hole really has derailed 
the rest of the series, hope JKR has a moat around that 
mansion .....  <vbg>

I agree with moongirlk re: Hagrid ducking so Colin Creevey gets 
it instead. I'm thinking that's cause and effect right there: Hagrid 
dives for cover, thereby reducing poor little Colin to not much 
more than a splotch on the ground.

Briefly played Find Harry and ended up with my innards on the 
outside. Must go steam-clean the carpet ....
