And...according to the Leaky Cauldron, a bank said there might not even
be a book this year. Are the considering the option to publish next
year, since the movie will continue to generate sales of the old books?
I'm at a crossroads here. I *do* think there is a responsibility to the
fans regardless of what Rowling and the Publishers think. While I can
understand their motivation to hold off on the publication to continue
to receive revenues for older publications, I have the option to speak
with my dollars. Perhaps I'll just get my books from the local library,
or borrow them from a friend. I'm really not interested in giving them
my money right now.
