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!

Posted by: - Posted on: 2006-09-14 10:49:58

Well, even if that isnt when it will actually be released, it is exciting that it is mentioned in a Scholastic Publication.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2006-09-14 10:53:31

BOOK SEVEN! PLEASE RELEASE!

Posted by: - Posted on: 2006-09-14 10:57:13

THT IS GR88888888888 NEWS!!!!!........I HOPE ITS CONFIRMED.......NEXT JULY!...thts not 2 bad.....not even a year

Posted by: - Posted on: 2006-09-14 10:58:30

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

Posted by: - Posted on: 2006-09-14 10:59:06

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

Posted by: - Posted on: 2006-09-14 10:59:33

While JK hasnt said anything which would be really good, I would think that Scholastic wouldnt say something so earth shattering as this unless there was real truth behind it. If it isnt true, JK would probably be screaming at them over the phone right now, so Id say if Scholastic says its true then it probably is.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2006-09-14 11:01:27

Ooohhh..i hope thats the truth even though it probably cant happen...Top 10?

Posted by: - Posted on: 2006-09-14 11:05:03

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

Posted by: - Posted on: 2006-09-14 11:05:18

meh probs not true

Posted by: - Posted on: 2006-09-14 11:05:26

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

Posted by: - Posted on: 2006-09-14 11:05:44

that would be awesome!!

Posted by: - Posted on: 2006-09-14 11:08:45

YES!!! I could only hope!!!!

Posted by: - Posted on: 2006-09-14 11:09:57

isnt Ootp out in next july too? would they release them in the same month???? hmmmm but if its true then im so so so so excited. ootp is released on my bday, my 21st!! and the final book in july too...omg i will just die of happiness. hahha im a loser .

Posted by: - Posted on: 2006-09-14 11:13:12

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: - Posted on: 2006-09-14 11:14:27

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: - Posted on: 2006-09-14 11:14:53

i cant wait! i dont care how close to OotP release date it is, as soon as possible is fine for me!

Posted by: - Posted on: 2006-09-14 11:16:14

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

Posted by: - Posted on: 2006-09-14 11:17:09

Im 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: - Posted on: 2006-09-14 11:18:43

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: - Posted on: 2006-09-14 11:25:59

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

Posted by: - Posted on: 2006-09-14 11:29:09

Omigosh. Omigosh. Omigosh. I hope Scholastic is right ... Omigosh. I cant believe the series is almost over!! This is soo sad yet exciting!!

Posted by: - Posted on: 2006-09-14 11:32:32

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: - Posted on: 2006-09-14 11:38:29

lol.....i know what Jo said but isnt it nice to just hope that scholastic is right?

Posted by: - Posted on: 2006-09-14 11:39:35

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: - Posted on: 2006-09-14 11:43:21

AHHHHHHH. IF IT IS JULY IM 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 Ill 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: - Posted on: 2006-09-14 11:45:22

I dont think Scholastic would make such a huge statement (no matter how offhand or out of context it may be) without some truth. Im sure Scholastic knows how HUGE of a following the series has, and theyre probably very careful with this sort of stuff. Theyve probably asked Jo for an approximate release time and she probably told them that shed 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 its not July, were probably looking at a late June/early August release.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2006-09-14 12:01:36

July 7th July 7th July 7th. Please please please. Man I hope its true!!!

Posted by: - Posted on: 2006-09-14 12:05:42

READ magazine is not a Scholastic publication :/

Posted by: - Posted on: 2006-09-14 12:31:26

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: - Posted on: 2006-09-14 12:50:32

I find anything that hasnt 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: - Posted on: 2006-09-14 12:50:57

07/07/07 all the way :)

Posted by: - Posted on: 2006-09-14 13:29:29

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 doesnt rush it. I just want the end to be wonderful.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2006-09-14 13:32:47

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: - Posted on: 2006-09-14 13:33:45

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

Posted by: - Posted on: 2006-09-14 13:34:12

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: - Posted on: 2006-09-14 13:37:19

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

Posted by: - Posted on: 2006-09-14 13:41:29

I hope they dont 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: - Posted on: 2006-09-14 13:41:33

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

Posted by: - Posted on: 2006-09-14 13:44:18

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

Posted by: - Posted on: 2006-09-14 13:49:05

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

Posted by: - Posted on: 2006-09-14 13:49:08

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

Posted by: - Posted on: 2006-09-14 13:52:44

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: - Posted on: 2006-09-14 14:28:05

Im kind of glad that its 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 didnt have enough time to comment!

Posted by: - Posted on: 2006-09-14 14:44:12

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 dont decide on a release date until the book is finished, so obviously (like everything else at this point it was merely conjecture

Posted by: - Posted on: 2006-09-14 14:56:10

I dont count on a 2007 book 7 release. Jo said shes not even halfway through it. She went over book 6 for three months before releasing it to the publishers. Im hoping but not counting on 2007. Oh well, when it comes, itll be fantastic!

Posted by: - Posted on: 2006-09-14 14:56:52

Its got to be 07/07/07. I know its the anniversary of the London subway bombings, but I dont think that should affect the book release.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2006-09-14 15:15:09

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

Posted by: - Posted on: 2006-09-14 15:17:53

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

Posted by: - Posted on: 2006-09-14 15:40:22

aw...:-(...i knew it was 2 good 2 be true.....u just ruined my day...:-(

Posted by: - Posted on: 2006-09-14 15:41:39

aww.. too bad

Posted by: - Posted on: 2006-09-14 15:44:06

Awww maaan,

Posted by: - Posted on: 2006-09-14 15:54:47

I hope it comes out next summer!

Posted by: - Posted on: 2006-09-14 16:25:21

They are usually right on the date of when the book is supposed to come out. I so can not wait

Posted by: - Posted on: 2006-09-14 16:32:11

C. R. A. P. It better be 07/07/07, that would be like the coolest release date ever! Please, Scholastic!!!

Posted by: - Posted on: 2006-09-14 16:47:16

Sweet!!!!!!!!!!!! Im glad that we finally have news about the book rather than the movie!

Posted by: - Posted on: 2006-09-14 16:48:52

I hope it comes out in July too! But in Parade I heard that the 5th movie was coming out in Spetember when they said who was playing luna lovegood, but on the verituserum site, it said July.... I wounder which one is true??!?!?!?!? I hope July!! the sooner the better!

Posted by: - Posted on: 2006-09-14 16:53:57

Hooraaay! We get one more year of Happy Harry Potter theorizing! I dont think that I would be able to deal with it coming out next year. Although Im dying to know what happens I know that Ill die (or atleast a part of me will die) when I read the last word on the last page of the last book. "Scar"... that sends shivers up my back!

Posted by: - Posted on: 2006-09-14 17:15:20

Why is everyone saying yay? Its not good news, isnt it saying that the book might not come out next summer? Im confused.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2006-09-14 17:35:57

Oh that i hope it comes out on 7/7/07 like AnyaMarcos says!!!! That would be sooooooo coool, to have book 7 released on 7/7/07!!!!!!

Posted by: - Posted on: 2006-09-14 18:00:45

thats the best news ive heard all day! i cant wait!

Posted by: - Posted on: 2006-09-14 18:33:22

lol those fakes. haha. i cant wait for 7!

Posted by: - Posted on: 2006-09-14 18:38:27

awww....I really hope they do release it next summer...on 07/07/07!!! I dont care if its in the same month as OotP!

Posted by: - Posted on: 2006-09-14 18:50:39

Argh! Please no more speculation I just want a definite date so I can mark my calendar w/ little smilies!

Posted by: - Posted on: 2006-09-14 19:16:36

LoL same here MuggleMage!!!!

Posted by: - Posted on: 2006-09-14 19:19:13

waitt. so does this mean that its NOT coming out next summer???? im confused.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2006-09-14 19:30:48

i really want it to come out next year but i dont want harry potter to end.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2006-09-14 20:29:22

I dont care when it comes out, just as long as its the best book ever.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2006-09-14 20:56:49

I dont care when it comes out because I already have a copy.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2006-09-14 21:40:41

I bet she will let us know at Christmas, as a present, that it will indeed be coming out July 7, 2007. It cant be any other way.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2006-09-14 22:04:48

read what the article says before commenting. book 7 is not coming out next summer most likely which im glad about :) dont want an overdose.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2006-09-14 23:29:48

--THE REASON WHY PEOPLE HAVE BEEN SAYING YAY-->Obviously, the report use to say that itd come out this coming summer, so people were happy! BUT, Ciaran updated the same post saying this was false information.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2006-09-14 23:45:44

Whats better than having the book out on 7/7/07. I know its London Bombings.. but what is better than uniting *virtually* all countries on this world sharing one certain love. The love of reading, and the love of our best mutual friend, Harry.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2006-09-15 06:29:25

Darn it! Foiled again :( Oh well, we can still hope...

Posted by: - Posted on: 2006-09-15 09:56:19

oh well...

Posted by: - Posted on: 2006-09-15 15:59:47

July 7th July 7th July 7th. Please please please. Man I hope its true!!! That would make my day, if it was true.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2006-09-15 17:15:17

i dont understand??? Does that mean its not comen out in July?

Posted by: - Posted on: 2006-09-15 18:13:09

but just because thats not true isnt it still possible for it to come out next summer???

Posted by: - Posted on: 2006-09-15 20:44:02

wow! CAN NOT WAIT AT ALL!

Posted by: - Posted on: 2006-09-15 21:37:09

You guys do know that its not up to scholastic when they release it. Jo has to FINISH the book first...

Posted by: - Posted on: 2006-09-16 07:30:31

omg! does this mean its gonna take even longer? i cant wait 2 more years! why is she so slow at writting. i know the books are big and all but still... If it aint comming out this july then that means itll be the summer after because she wont release it during the school year, only summer. GOD darn JO! 2 MORE FRIGGIN YEARS! get a move on!

Posted by: - Posted on: 2006-09-16 07:33:48

o~ i cant wait~ but id rather take patience~ HP series are really cool! and i hope the last one wont escape that ... what did they say?... yea... prodigy!

Posted by: - Posted on: 2006-09-16 07:42:24

P.S. it was never gonna be released on the 7/7/07 anyway because the OOTP movie has a confirmed release date of the 13/7/07. Theyre not stupid enough to have a 5 DAY gap between a HP movie and a book. I am almost 100% sure itll be summer 2008 before we see HP7. If were lucky we might see it in August 2007 but i really doubt it because Jos said herself that shes not nearly finished the book, she still has loads to write. As i said in my last post, she wont release it during the school year so well most probably have to wait for summer 2008. sucks to be us eh?

Posted by: - Posted on: 2006-09-16 08:07:55

Also i dont know why people are saying "yay" to this information. Do they think its going to come out before 7/07/07 ? because its obviously not. Jos only 3/4 through the book from what ive heard and then theres editing and publishing etc... why are people glad to hear that july 07 was false, that was the earliest we were going to see the book.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2006-09-16 09:03:10

Firstly, where does it say that Jo is 1/2 or 3/4 of the way through? All shes said is that shes not close to finishing. As to a 2007 release, this could still happen - it could be a Christmas holiday release. How cool would that be?!! And PS/SS was released 1997. What better way to end the series than exactly 10 years after the first in the series...

Posted by: - Posted on: 2006-09-16 09:41:24

Yes Jo said herself shes NOT NEAR CLOSE TO FINISHING. Im assuming that she cant be more then 3/4 through then. If she was further then that she would say "im writting the last chapters" or something like that.. Also i said IF WERE LUCKY well see it in august 2007 but i am 100% sure that it will not be any early then the 31st july 2007. the reason i say the 31st is because thats Jos and Harrys Birthday so she may want to release that date. The 7/7/07 was always a rumour and fans wanted to beleive that it would be released on this date because 7 is a "magical" number. That means nothing. The OOTP has a CONFIRMED release date of 13/7/07 so there is no way that we will see the most awaited book of all time released 5 days after a box office hit HP movie. It just wouldnt be smart marketing etc.. As to youre comment about a december release i doubt it becasue the last two books have been summer releases. some children might not finish such a big book over christmas holidays. So in conclusion, the very very earliest well see it is the 31st july 2007 and thats if were extremely lucky (e.g. Jo makes the effort to finish in time for her birthday) which she probably wont because we all know Jo doesnt rush things. even after shes finished she goes over it for ages before giving it to the publishers.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2006-09-16 10:40:00

Before Rowling commits that she finished writing book seven, there cant be any release date. :) Scholastic or Bloomsbury cant give a release date of a book before that book hasnt completed yet. ;)

Posted by: - Posted on: 2006-09-16 14:57:30

does anyone beside me think that READ is a verrry FUNNY name for a magazine?hahaha

Posted by: - Posted on: 2006-09-17 05:05:16

Dobby - people obviously are still rather slow to catch on that the rumour from that magazine was trashed but hey.. kerrmann2004- i totally agree with you, if she is not close to finishing it yet then there is very little chance that she will finish it for july, and like you said, it would be very stupid marketing wise to go and have the release date 5 or so days before/after the movie... assuming she writes the book until new years.. and is tying up loose ends there, it is very possible that the next 4 months could be spent editing and checking that things are ok, plots run smoothly etc... personally im hoping for a 2008 release, mostly cuz i will be back home then and can get the british version, but also because, should the book be released then, at least i know that it wasnt rushed and jo took her time over it to ensure the quality was that of the other books and that there were lots of details etc.. though it is possible that she could release it on halloween holidays could it not? or is that still too much pottermania in the one year?

Posted by: - Posted on: 2006-09-17 08:39:16

let it be 07.07.07, pleasssssssssssssssssseee eeeeeeeeee~

Posted by: - Posted on: 2006-09-17 17:58:10

wait you guys, the posting said that Read magazine is NOT a Scholastic publication...!!!:(

Posted by: - Posted on: 2006-09-17 20:39:56

Releasing movie 5 the same month as book 7 would be a marketing mistake (make that a BIG mistake!). However, releasing the movie on 7-7-07 would be very cool. As for the book, when its done its done (and thats THAT).

Posted by: - Posted on: 2006-09-17 23:12:29

i guess that im the ONLY one that thinks READ IS A FUNNNNYYYYYY NAME FOR A MAGAZINE.......hint :every1 SUPPOSED to agree with me.....lol

Posted by: - Posted on: 2006-09-18 05:38:27

Oh bummer i really want a summer 2007 release but why cant it be released on July 31st, Harry and Jos birthday or in august?!

Posted by: - Posted on: 2006-09-18 19:42:56

Those days were a nightmare for all the people who to an airplane, I lost many things there were liquid for that. But I am graceful that JK did not lost her writting. I can wait to see the final of series.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2006-09-20 05:52:12

OMHP Im gonna cry!!! no more quittich! :(( no more HP!!!!! but i cant wait none the less.! LOL

Posted by: - Posted on: 2006-09-21 02:28:14

Personally I don’t think we should abandon all hope of book 7 being released sometime next summer. If you recall Jo said in August 2004 that she was about half way through writing HBP and the release date of 16/7/2005 was subsequently announced on the 21/12/04. Previously the release date of 21/6/03 for OOTP was not announced until 15/01/03. I tend to agree with the notion that both the title and release date for book 7 will be made around xmas this year. Commercially however, it would be prudent to wait until the cinema of HBP before publishing book 7, that way anyone who has ever seen a Potter film, read a Potter book or a mixture of both would be itching to know the final outcome. There would be Potter Mania on an unparalled scale!!. Therefore if Bloomsbury & Warner want to be really ruthless and milk the suspense element to the limit we could yet be in for a very long wait.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2006-09-22 01:40:30

...but...but..when is it going to be released then? Hopefully not LATER... .. hopefully we can get some info soon..
