Unfortunately, until the publisher of JK herself makes an announcement, we shouldn't really fall prey to any of this.  Last year a release date was sent to bookstores saying it was to be out in July 2001.  This date, after 2 weeks was quickly scratched and no reason was given for that.  This year, publishers notified stores saying that it would be sometime in the 3rd or 4th quarter of the year.   I have heard people say that she has every book written and locked ina vault somewhere, just waiting to be released, I have read that she has outlines for every book, parts of book 7 written and all of book 5 written.  There are many other reasons for delays.  For all we know, she may be waiting for the hype with the next movie to accompany book 5 and for that reason as delayed publication.   Unfortunately, as difficult as this is, we just have to all have a bit of patience.   Hopefully she won't be another Robert Jordan or Jean Auel...   (Jordan takes 3 years between books.  JEan Auel's newest one has been awaited for years)   Until then, we just have to look to rereadin gover and over the other books, look to the release of the movie on home video/dvd and rely on our imaginations to carry us.

    Me, I have another theory: Book 5's taking so long because she's
  working on more than Book 5.  It wouldn't surprise me if she were also
  writing Important Scenes from Books 6 and 7 to make sure they're all
  Flint-free.  Which could mean that we'll get Books 5, 6, and 7 in
  fairly quick succession.
