Sandy responds:

Although I hold no stock in the 7's theory I am very disappointed that the 
release is not 7/7. I just think it would have been fitting that the release of 
the 7th book be on 7/7/07. I like that kind of thing. Although I know nothing 
about the writing or editing process I find it hard to believe that two weeks 
would have made a significant difference in either. As to the date relating to 
the London bombings, although, of course, JKR made no mention of that; being 
an American I would have no objection to it, or anything else, being released 
on 9/11, not that that was a possibility. I mention it only from the point of 
view that it would be nice to have something positive occur on either of those 
two dates. I am just happy that the release date has finally been announced, 
but it sure would have been nice if she had announced it with a bit more of a 
flourish. It's going to be a busy July, my least favorite month btw, and I 
need to start saving money for all of the to-do's.

Sandy, looking forward to July, yet dreading it.
