Unfortunately, a major hint has appeared in Bloomsbury's own site's FAQ abo=
ut 
the HP books, which reports the following:

"When will the fifth book be published?
We are not going to set a publication date for the fifth book until the boo=
k has 
been finished. In a perfect world the date would be early autumn 2002, but =
we 
will wait until the book is written before making a decision. We will let y=
ou know 
more information as soon as we can."

That phrase "early autumn 2002" USED to say "July 2002" until rather recent=
ly. 
Sigh.
