Becki wonders, not that it really matters;

The quote at Mugglenet from the article-interview of Nair says;

"I read it over the weekend. I'm still deciding... I'm not letting 
all this go to my head. I'm grounded. I practise detachment, it 
helps me keep my balance." ... "I'm a Dilliwalli, only an asana gets 
me on my head! My son Zoharan's excited. I've seen all the Harry 
Potter movies with him." 

My question is, how could she be reading it. I thought Steve Kloves 
was 'on the fence' about writing OotP.  Even if he has decided to do 
it, he couldn't possibly finished it in a matter of weeks.  Perhaps 
she is just reading the book?
