Where Bloomsbury says they would like to publish OoP in July.  July?  Are they 
kidding?  How can we possibly wait that long?  They say they have to talk to 
their American publisher (Scholastic) before a release date is set, and that 
they expect to have the manuscript soon.  Which sounds to me like it could be 
even later.  Something like that.  I must say, I'm not surprised they aren't 
making more of an effort to get it out earlier.  The DVD/video of CoS should be 
out in what, May?  I doubt WB wants people standing on lines for OoP instead of 
buying the movie.  Naturally, I wouldn't be the least bit interested in 
watching CoS if I could be reading OoP!
