Bobby: OK, maybe not 5 years.  But her British publisher recently 
said that Book 6 would not be out before June 2005 and maybe as late 
as June 2006.  That's 2 to 3 years from OOTP.  And if she takes 
another 2 to 3 years for Book 7, that's a mimimum of at least 3 
years from now and a maximum of a little more than 5.  I picked the 
maximum because I think JKR is working very carefully and wants to 
get things just the way she wants them.

But either way, we still a long time to debate the issues.
