OoP will NOT be out by Dec 23rd.  It is NOT with the publisher yet.  At the
premiere (or the day after, can't remember) JKR said she was still adding
finishing touches, and it would be a few more weeks.  If I'm not mistaken
she said maybe five weeks.  Which was almost two weeks ago, so we're down to
3 1/2 weeks.  Still, there's no way the publisher could get it out by
Christmas.  No way.
