[HPforGrownups] An observation on release date....

If the last release - for GoF - hadn't been a summer Saturday, I'd be inclined to go for your argument. 

However, I think they did want to replicate the Summer Saturday release concept, and if the Solstice hadn't been a Saturday, they wouldn't've chosen, say, a wednesday for the release just to merge it with the Solstice. 

But I wouldn't be surprised if they chose the 21st for this - as it's also the first day of summer - versus, say, the 28th - because of the summer/solstice connection.

The Solstice begins on the 21st. I brought this up during last Sunday's chat, and most people there seemed to think the release date is just a coincidence. 

To be honest, when I first heard it was coming out then, the first thing I thought was that it had to be relevant. It's the Summer Solstice and it's a book called The Order of the Phoenix -- a fire-related topic. I don't know.  :)  Maybe I'm just reading too much into things as usual!  :)
