When did she say that? In the webchat she said that
she's enjoying writing it and that the release date is
up to the publishers. But that doesn't mean the
publisher's have it.  I believe she just means that
she doens't make the ultimate decision about when it's
released. Since she seems to be Scholastic and
Bloomsbury's main money maker, I'm sure she has some
say...but they're companies and they make business
decisions that have nothing to do with when we want
the book to come out. So that's all I think she meant.

As for the Green Flame Torch, that name's been
floating around for quite a while and Warner Bros has
it copywritten but I think it's been pretty much
decided that it's not going to be a book title. I
believe (I could be wrong) that JKR said at some point
that no one else knows the titles of the future books.
So don't count on knowing until Scholastic and
Bloomsbury make the announcement.
Also, don't remember where, but I read somewhere about
Green Flame Torch possibly being a working title for
Goblet of Fire, but who knows. Anyway, sorry to
disappoint you, but unless they're planning on
surprising us with the 6th book...don't expect it by
the end of the summer.
