Any idea when the next book will be out?

[Gary Sapp & Karen J.S.]

I think there should be two schools of thought.

School 1: JKR said just before OOP release that B6 would be a lot
shorter (and B7 would be really long, and hard for her to let go).
So expect a relatively early release, say in time for Christmas this
year.

School 2: She also said OOP would be a lot shorter than GOF. Never
trust the promises of a proven addict. July 2007 and 1100 pages.

Pessimist that I am, I tend towards the latter opinion. But at
least we'll have plenty to read that way.

What will the title be, I wonder?

Thanks to your kind words David.  I am so glad someone else is
thinking about this too.  I have been lurking for awhile and just
thought I would post this and see if anyone else was pondering it as
well.

I had forgotten that she had said 6 would be shorter but I hope that
it is at least 600 pages!

s for timing of the release, Warner Bros. probably weighs in on
that decision. Either they want the book released around the time
of the movie to augment popularity, or more likely, the book will
come out a year or so after the movie, just as the mania wanes. So
my bet is Summer 2005; 656 pages (no reason for the length, the
number just popped into my head!).

I honestly don't think JKR would let WB have that much sway over her,
afterall THEY are far more dependent on her output than vice versa. 
However, it is possible someone may point this out to her yet I doubt
it will be the deciding factor.

How about "Harry Potter and the Army of Gnomes?" I'll guess Summer
2005, optimistically, and 724 pages.

As far as a title, I havent' a clue :)
