Valky:
Assuming your recollection is absolutely accurate, and I do, of 
course, then the new wording 100% implies that an announcement that 
book six (HBP) is finished is no longer "not going to happen very 
soon".... or contrariwise the announcement is imminent!!!! And WILL 
appear on the Website.

That of course is not the release of the book, *sigh*, nor does it 
inequivocally mean that book six is finished right now. OTOH JKR 
couldn't safely say that she is about to announce if there were any 
possibility of a delay....... So.......

YAY YAY YAY, and a distinct increase in my Christmas Cheer!!! 

Well Done and Congratulations JKR, and may the sun shine for you as 
you write book seven!!!
