Speculation of release date for Harry Potter book 7


I borrowed this article from Mugglenet, it is very interesting. to read the whole thing go to http://www.mugglenet.com/books/futurebooks/book7/releasedate.shtml



Months and months ago, people speculated that the final book in the Harry Potter series would be released on the seventh day of the seventh month of the seventh year (in the third millennium). Why? Because it’s the seventh book in the Harry Potter series, seven is a powerfully magical number (as we learn in Half-Blood Prince), it’s Harry’s seventh year at Hogwarts, and Lord Voldemort has a seven-part soul. Some would say releasing it on this date would be a fantastic marketing scheme, but then again, others would say something as big as Harry Potter doesn’t need any special marketing; it will sell no matter what. This doesn’t excuse, however, the fact that releasing the book on said date would be a good idea from a marketer’s perspective.
So let’s take a look at some other reasons why releasing Book 7 on 7/7/07 is plausible:
2007 marks the tenth anniversary of when the first book, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, was released. This may not mean much, but isn’t it better to finish off the series after ten years than an odd number like eleven?
On July 17th, 2005 (the day after Half-Blood Prince's publication), regarding the release of Book 7, Jo said: "I am going to say now I think it will be at least another two year wait."
Jo said in her diary on December 25th that 2006 would be the year she would write Book 7. Seeing as it usually takes her a year (sometimes more, but usually less) to write a book, and an additional six months for the publishers to ready it for release, summer of 2007 would seem likely.
In January, she has also said in her diary that writing was going well and that she was “floating along on this flood of inspiration.”
At the 2006 British Book Awards, she told CBBC Newsround that writing was “going well.”
Around March 2006, it was rumored that she had completed four chapters of Book 7.
Releasing it in the summer would mean children would have more time to read the book, and therefore it would sell better. Leaving it until the next summer seems a bit long, but not entirely impropable.
In April Jo mentioned on her site that Book 7 was still going well. Additionally, she thanked MuggleNet staff member Andy (who wrote up a response to the media’s criticism of Jo’s “weight rant”) for saving her time to write half a chapter of Book 7.
In June, JK told Richard & Judy in an interview: "The last book's not finished. But, I'm well into it now."

V for Vendetta


Remember, remember the fifth of November
The gunpowder treason and plot.
I see no reason why gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot.

People should not be afraid of their Government. Government should be afraid of their People.

This movie was pretty cool. The screen play written by The Wachowski Brothers, who brought you The Matrix. Where the Matrix gave you a warm feeling in your ear about your reality this movie shows how far one government will go to control its people. I am a sucker for comic book movies and this is one of the better ones.
