Okay, call me an idiot...(actually don't, I'll cry)...but I have this
strange theory about when book 6 will be released. Those I've told
around me think it's brilliant, but I will sacrifice it on the alter
of
the members of this group to see if my theory holds...okay? Be kind
if you don't agree...
I kinda made this up with the realization that OoP is releasing in
paperback in August.
July 2000--Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is released! Yeah,
the Potter fans go crazy.
Sept 2002--After 27 months, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
releases to paperback. Among the rumors were that the book was too
long to release in paperback form...but then look at many other books
that release in paperback that long (Clancy, WEB Griffin, Tolkien,
and some other SF/F authors come to mind).
Jan 2003--The long-awaited announcement comes...Harry Potter and the
Order of the Phoenix has a release date.
Jun 2003--HP & OoP released...hoards of ravenous HP fans gobble down
millions of copies and beg for more.
Jul/Aug 2004--the anticipated release of OoP in paperback, although
in Britian, it will be released 1 month earlier.
Okay so what right? Except, why did it take half the time for OoP (a
longer book) to release to paperback? The mad fans (that's us) all
bought copies the first day/night. Why rush printing?
I believed that around December 2004 we will have an answer to our
most wanted question --When is book 6 coming out?--
>From the Letter Box Project, JKR has said that the writing for book 6
is "flowing like a mountain stream." Given the 5-6 month proofing
and printing period for the millions of copies needed, I'd say we are
looking at a Summer 2005 release! This is just theory and
speculation. It is not meant to deceive or anything...
What do you think?
