HARRY POTTER #5 EXPECTED DATE

I don't recall if this has been posted on the site during these past 
few days, but I wanted to mention that Amazon.com is listing the 
arrival date for Harry Potter #5 as July 2002!!!!!!!!!!!! (Yes, an 
entire year from now!)  On one hand, I'm glad for the delay since I 
will be intently involved in my Master's Degree work up until May 
2002.  However, I bemoan the remarkable period of time we are ALL 
going to have to wait!  Whether this is a strategic move on JKR's 
part to truly separate the book from the movie's release 7 to 8 
months before OR if the book just will not be ready until then OR 
BOTH...I am glad at last to get some sort of a calendar marker we can 
all hang our hats on beyond "sometime in 2002."

I'm guessing (AND HOPING) that since this is a future part of the HP 
Canon that this posting is appropriate for this site.  If news of 
this date has already been posted on this site, I apologize in 
advance.
