Report on Book 7 release
We told you earlier that READ magazine, which we had previously believed to be a Scholastic magazine, reportedly included a blurb in their latest edition about Book 7 coming out next summer. Scholastic now tells us READ is not a Scholastic publication. Any inkling we had about this being true has now vanished. Sorry!

no2. yay exciting


Posted by TrekBoy85 Sep 14th 2006

Well, even if that isn't when it will actually be released, it is exciting that it is mentioned in a Scholastic Publication.


Posted by earthland Sep 14th 2006

BOOK SEVEN! PLEASE RELEASE!

Oooh how exciting!!!! I hope it's true...It would be awesome - a perfect after exams treat!


Posted by mmesnape Sep 14th 2006

Oooooo! Cool.... top ten? Yay!


Posted by potter_fan06 Sep 14th 2006

While JK hasn't said anything which would be really good, I would think that Scholastic wouldn't say something so earth shattering as this unless there was real truth behind it. If it isn't true, JK would probably be screaming at them over the phone right now, so I'd say if Scholastic says its true then it probably is.


Posted by TheFifthMarauder Sep 14th 2006

Ooohhh..i hope that's the truth even though it probably can't happen...Top 10?


Posted by Hasy_n_purrinG Sep 14th 2006

10th? Holy crap! Next July is going to be awesome!


Posted by ren_15 Sep 14th 2006

Scholastic is no tabloid... this sounds for real! # 10??


Posted by plzjoinvoldemort Sep 14th 2006

Posted by bookworm021 Sep 14th 2006

awwwwwwwwwww dont dash our ray of hope i want the final hp to come out july 07 07/07/07 that would be awesome i am saving my money up for it and the deluxe edition 1 if they have it and paperback one too hp all the way.


Posted by dobby_rocks Sep 14th 2006

Intresting i really didnt think they bring it out the same month OOTP the movie comes out. I guess it just means overload of HP next summer possible.


Posted by antonin Sep 14th 2006

i can't wait! i don't care how close to OotP release date it is, as soon as possible is fine for me!


Posted by Phoenix_Lex Sep 14th 2006

I'm hyperventilating!!!!!!!! Even if this is false information, JK Rowling has to say something about it, which means we'll probably get an indication (or at least a vague one) of when it will come out!


Posted by MrsPattinson Sep 14th 2006

I'm going to put my money on 07/07/07! I think she planned that all along. I mean, how much more perfect could the release date of the 7th book be???


Posted by Sam Sep 14th 2006

i doubt it will come out then. coz jke said she still has a long way to go. but if it is true, then that is awesome.


Posted by OldMrToad Sep 14th 2006

Let's hope Scholastic has all it's ducks in a row. I was in Spain when HBP was released. Had to find the UK version in Madrid. Wonder where I'll be when #7 comes out. Patience.. All things come to those who wait. (small comfort) OMT


Posted by mischiefmanaged Sep 14th 2006

Omigosh. Omigosh. Omigosh. I hope Scholastic is right ... Omigosh. I can't believe the series is almost over!! This is soo sad yet exciting!!


Posted by carrot_top Sep 14th 2006

i thought we already knew that,didnt we?*sighs*mugglenet is really boring at the moment so ill probably come back again at summer 2007 when things will get more interesting.goodbye for now!


Posted by LadyM Sep 14th 2006

lol.....i know what Jo said but isn't it nice to just hope that scholastic is right?


Posted by Pink_Pygmy_Puff Sep 14th 2006

I HOPE SO but if it is not i wont care bc when it finally comes out i will be able to read it and there is nothing I can do to speed up the process of me getting it


Posted by AliceFO Sep 14th 2006

AHHHHHHH. IF IT IS JULY I'M GOING TO DROP TO THE FLOOR AND DIE. ..*hehem* and also, If its 07/07/07 then that will be the day AFTER my birthday so I'll go at midnight to the release and OMG. IT WILL BE THE BEST (AND SADDEST) DAY EVERRRRRRR. ahh. i need to calm myself, yo. eeee.


Posted by LDJames Sep 14th 2006

I don't think Scholastic would make such a huge statement (no matter how offhand or out of context it may be) without some truth. I'm sure Scholastic knows how HUGE of a following the series has, and they're probably very careful with this sort of stuff. They've probably asked Jo for an approximate release time and she probably told them that she'd be done by the end of the year. Editing/promotional/marke ting stuff would take about six or seven months, therefore July '07 is the most likely release date. This pretty much verifies a Summer '07 release, so if it's not July, we're probably looking at a late June/early August release.


Posted by Quidditch_Queen Sep 14th 2006

July 7th July 7th July 7th. Please please please. Man I hope it's true!!!


Posted by roonilwazzzlib Sep 14th 2006

READ magazine is not a Scholastic publication :/


Posted by JeNaN Sep 14th 2006

hmm, well i duno if that is true or not.. cuz JK did say that she isnt even half way done herself.. but who knows we jus gotta wait n see if it is or not.. but that would b cool if it came out on 7/7/07 hmm


Posted by arianna Sep 14th 2006

I find anything that hasn't come from Jo herself hard to believe...but this is coming from a sholastic mag, not a tabloid, so their guess is slightly more believable...


Posted by Cbee Sep 14th 2006

07/07/07 all the way :)


Posted by cmilz06 Sep 14th 2006

I knew it was too good to be true. Scholastic would never publish anything like that unless Jo had announced a release date herself. But I hope she doesn't rush it. I just want the end to be wonderful.


Posted by Mrs_Finnegan Sep 14th 2006

aww...It is kind of hard to think that Jo would let a magazine publish something like that before she announced it herself.


Posted by OldMrToad Sep 14th 2006

Yeah, it's a 'Weekly Reader' publication. Not exactly a tabloid either, but not a source of inside information either. Oh well, Still waiting. OMT


Posted by skates Sep 14th 2006

What! oh, I hope it comes out in July! Man, if the book and movie come it in the same month.................... ... what more could I want? dances dances dances dances dances dances for HARRY POTTER JOY. They better not dash our only hopes.


Posted by mrbrightside05 Sep 14th 2006

did you guys read this at all? it says the READ ISNT A PART OF SCHOLASTIC so its probably not true


Posted by pigwidgeon Sep 14th 2006

I hope they don't make the book release date later because of the 5th film, because the films are rubbish compared to the masterpieces which are the books! well the films are great, i just mean that nothing compares to the books... if ya get what i mean. lol. anyway mrbrightside05, i think they all read the old post before they changed it.


Posted by amandarose Sep 14th 2006

Well, we can still HOPE AND PRAY it comes out next summer! But that stinks that it's NOT a real scholastic.. :/ PLease come out on 7/7/07 PLEASE!!!!!


Posted by mrbrightside05 Sep 14th 2006

I guess when i saw reported earlier i didnt think shorter than 3 hours ago


Posted by Jadore_Bella Sep 14th 2006

Wait does this mean it's not coming out this summer? Wtf I'm reading the comments all "yay hurray!" But it says that it's not part of it...wtf?


Posted by Clamshell Sep 14th 2006

So, by saying this, does Scholactic imply that it will NOT come out next summer? :D


Posted by soccerluver13 Sep 14th 2006

All I know is that i want it to come out soon so I can have a party with all my HP freak friends incase high school breaks us apart =/


Posted by mischiefmanaged128 Sep 14th 2006

I'm kind of glad that it's not coming out last summer. This is, after all, the last Harry book, I think I want to wait a little longer. It would also be really hectic with the fifth movie coming out that month. I was in school when I saw the original news post, but I didn't have enough time to comment!


Posted by tovarbaker Sep 14th 2006

scholastic magazine or not they would still never release the release date/month/year for a HP book with out it coming from JKR first. and we have learned that they don't decide on a release date until the book is finished, so obviously (like everything else at this point it was merely conjecture


Posted by Ticci Sep 14th 2006

I don't count on a 2007 book 7 release. Jo said she's not even halfway through it. She went over book 6 for three months before releasing it to the publishers. I'm hoping but not counting on 2007. Oh well, when it comes, it'll be fantastic!


Posted by AnyaMarcos Sep 14th 2006

It's got to be 07/07/07. I know it's the anniversary of the London subway bombings, but I don't think that should affect the book release.


Posted by lovely_emma Sep 14th 2006

OOOOH i hope it is July cause that would be AWESOME!!! i love July!


Posted by Clamshell Sep 14th 2006

I think 07 07 07 is waaaaay too short notice. I want my desktop-countdown to count at least 365 days, or else! GIMME 2010, Jo
