To quote, or at least paraphrase a quote of Jo's -"It will be done 
when it's done."  I'm not sure what exactly the latest is on this 
however, I do believe that you are correct in assuming that it will 
not be next year.  

I really don't mind waiting another year or two (who am I kidding of 
course I do) if JKR needs that much time to write it, but I do have a 
problem with trying to set release dates to coincide with other 
events, like the movie release.  

The whole movie release thing got me to wondering just why they would 
want to release the two at the same time anyway.  I don't know about 
the rest of you but I would stay home and read over going to the 
movies...
