I figure that this is the main reason why HP #5 is being listed with a 2002
publishing date.  JKR and her editors want plenty of time to "beta-read" the
book, which can't be done when you have a rushed deadline.  (See Peg Kerr's
humorous essay on "How errors creep in" - Message #5582.
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HPforGrownups/message/5582  )

I definitely feel that JKR & company should choose a few fanatic adult fans
to beta-read.  Perhaps the Illustrious Moderators of our group... ;)
