Yet she chose mid-2007 when she could have picked
October-2007 or December-2007. Personally, I had
picked October in our previous discussions. At
that time, JKR has said she was still busily writing
and I allowed 6 months to get the book fully ready for
sale.

I think given the time she had been actively 
working on it, it was safe to assume she was nearing
the end. So, I don't think she rushed it. She had 
something like 15 years to think about how this was
all going to end, and relative to the release date 
of HBP, she has had two full years to write it. 
I don't think she was rushed. 

And again, I point out, if she needed more time she
could have released 3 months later and no one would
have know the difference or cared. 

Further as she and her Editors read and discuss the
book there is still time for changes before the book
goes into print. 

While you certainly have a valid point, I think the
book was just ready, so they sent it off to the
publishers. 

For what it's worth.
