STACEY - HBP estimate

> "Stacey here: *quick wave*

Decided to de-lurk for a minute and see if my memory is not as fuzzy 
as I think it is.  GoF came out in paperback about 10 months prior to 
OotP being released.  That, in actual calendar time, means it hit the 
stores in August 2003.  So, if the pattern stays the same *crossing 
my fingers* then we should see HBP around this time next June.  That 
makes sense, seeing as how GoF, the movie, is currently scheduled for 
a November 2005 release.  Something new always hits every 6 months to 
1 year.  It keeps the franchise alive, and 6 months-1 year is 
industry standard for "new" things." <


Thanks for de-lurking Stacey.  :)  I agree with you.  I do marketing and 
promotions by profession and completely agree with your estimate.  I also think 
that since kids will get out of school in June, this would be a good time to 
release a new book so that they can all read it this summer.  :)
