She may not have any power over when it's published.  Considering the greed 
of all industries, they (not JKR) will try to figure out the best way to 
crank out as much cash as possible from this.  JKR, according to what I've 
read in the papers, probably isn't that worried about money these days.  I 
thought for sure that they'd publish it in time for Christmas and to ride 
on the publicity for the second movie which is still filming.  I have to 
wonder how they're going to manage finishing that in time for the November 
release.

Grumble.  I think some lunch will help cure the bad mood.
