Sorry, for beign a spoilsport, but honestly, what are the chances 
that there is any truth to this rumour? When #5 was released, 
Scholastic and Bloomsbury released an official statement six months 
prior to the release, and we're past that point....unless...I guess 
the actual printing would take a while. Hm. All the same, it's only 
been a year since the release of #5, and if #6 has anything close to 
the heft and scope of it's predecessor, I can't see that it would be 
ready so soon. I agree with you that it would be nice if it were 
true, but...

As for the midsummersday release of #5, was that REALLY about hitting 
the astronomically significant date? I rather figured it had 
something to do with Bloomsbury wanting to give a boost to two fiscal 
years :-). The fiscal year for them ended June 23rd, you see, so by 
releasing the book two days before, it makes them look even better to 
the stockholders!
