Here's the latest from the publisher, via the Guardian:

"publication date is set to slide to September. The author, JK Rowling, has yet 
to send her fifth novel, provisionally titled Harry Potter and the Order of the 
Phoenix, to Bloomsbury. Moreover, she has given the publisher no indication of 
when she expects to finish. 

"The Bookseller magazine today reports "growing speculation" in the trade. 
Bloomsbury's sales and marketing manager for children's books, Rosamund de 
la Hey, said: "In a perfect world, it would be in July. But we will wait until the 
manuscript is delivered before deciding on a date." "
