Harry Potter and the Delayed Pub Date

Planning to read Harry Potter V next summer? Don't count on it
BY SUE CULLINAN/LONDON 

Harry Potter fans expecting the sorcery saga's next installment in 
time for summer vacation next year will have to wait a little while 
longer. J. K. Rowling's publishers, Bloomsbury Publishing PLC, says 
there will be no new Harry Potter book ready for the summer. The 
reason? "Basically the author hasn't finished writing it," Bloomsbury 
CEO Nigel Newton tells TIME, adding that the production schedule for 
the next three books "is still to be confirmed." 

One possible reason for the delay in churning out the fifth book in 
the series: Two Harry Potter companion books Rowling is writing for a 
U.K. charity called Comic Relief. The books, "Quidditch Through the 
Ages" and "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them", will appear 
under the pseudonyms of Kennilworthy Whisp and Newt Scamander on 
February 13. Rowling will donate net proceeds to the Harry Potter 
Fund at Comic Relief, U.K., a charity set up to help children in 
developing countries. 

Still, given that book No. 4, "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire," 
checks in at a sturdy 734 pages, the delay might give everyone a 
chance to finish that one before springing for the next.
