I absolutely can't wait for book 6 to come out! I thought that I had heard some where that she was nearly finished with it and the rough draft would soon be going to her editors... but I don't know how long it takes to go from editors to finish. Not too long I hope!!

OMG!! i totally cant wait for the 6th book to com eout. i read the clues and there could be multiple titles for the 6th book :ermsmile:

Hahaha, over-analyzing does seem to leave us a bit confused....

Ack, I was really bummed when I read that on mugglenet. Ah well, your right phoenix_grl, we do have the movie to look foward too.

But since the 5th book took three years, naturally I suspected the 6th to be the same. So it isn't too much of a letdown. Seriously, these waits make me a bit tensed though. I think I might run around in circles screaming when the 6th book comes out. Too much happiness for me to handle.

Well first she has to finish it, that will take months. Then 5 months after that to be published, so not end of this year, not march next year, maybe mid next year, if we are lucky.

i can live for say...another 2 year wait, the movies are comming out...and well Dan's in it - so i'm not going to give up on HP any time soon!

And i've read OOTP 3 times, searched FOR SOOO many clues, i don't know if it's even relevant! hahaha...Good luck there JK!

She didn't take three years to write OotP. She wrote the first four in a row and was totally exhausted. She took a deserved break and got her life back together.

I can imagine how hard it is for her, despite all the money . I mean she has sooo much pressure on her, which i 'm sure she will still amaze, but she also has so much to do and demand on her to do things for her fans, etc.

I think that while I will be in agony waiting, that i can wait. I'd rather that then a rushed version with not her usual dedication, just because she wanted to please us. It is a long time, but i think the 'writer's block' thing which everyone kept using to explain why ootp took so long, was not true. She was just getting her life back together and as a new mother i can imagine how hard it must be just to deal with the baby, let alone write a book that is in so much demand it is unbelievable.

matthew??? i thought it was david!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

yeah, i got the same letter a few months ago. i knew it would take long but this is driving me crazy!

It is baby David and heis now a year old.

I think people are being way too harsh on her, she does have a life beyond HP. Which does include 2 kids and a husband and she wants to make time for them which is totally natural. It's selfish to tell her to 'hurry up' even if it is meant in the most innocent sense possible, because if she felt she were under pressure it may have an affect on her work or on her self-esteem.

I vote to just be patient and sit tight.

Book 6 going slow for JKR?

That means about five years...at least I'll have time to save up for it.

And Marcella Riddle is right, she DOES have a life outside HP (hard to believe) and she can't devote all her time to writing about an adolescent wizard.

Well as we now know this letter isnt a rcent one. It is one from last year just after she had her baby boy.

i really want to read the 6th book. :ermsmile: :unsure: :online2long:

hmmm

:sorcerer: i dont thinks thats her writing style because rowling does not write like that to me i think the book will be out 2005 or 2006 of summer because it took her a long time to write book 5 i just hope it does not come out when i am out of high school[size=14][color=purple]

[u]i really lock forward to read the sixth book

that late???
i wish J.K. could write as fast as i can read (and thats very, very fast!! )
yeah, i agree that they'll probably release both movie and book6 at the same time... i suppose the profit and the impact will be much greater..
why can she just write it quickly??? why is it gonna take sooo long??
by the time shes done with the 7th book, ill be in college!!!! :whisle:

I Hope She Hurrys Up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think Summer 2005 would be good, I've said this before I know, but I would rather her take her time and produce a masterpiece than start wavering and publish something that leaves our prolonged anticipation tarnished and disappointed! :flowersmile:

I cant wait for the Sixth book to come out, although I was hoping it would be released this year, it probably wont be.
That's ok, my apartment with my three best friends is Hogwart's enough for me. YAY FOR SLYTHERIN!

btw not to post out of the topic but, how does one get into a hogwart's house around here anyways..?

can't wait till the next book. I hope that is not really her as i hope its going fast. :sorcerer:

I'm simply dieing for the sixth book....I've re-read OotP for about a million times and it drove me up the wall by keep on reading the part *sniffles* Sirius died...*sobs*

summer 2005? Waaah! I finished OotP in about 4 days! and now I'm supposed to GO BACK AND RE-READ IT?!?! Oh well, my manga will keep me company.
I do have one suggestion for an actor for the role of Mad-eye Moody. I saw a movie poster for Hidalgo, and Vigo Mortenson looks pretty similar to the image I have in my head of Moody. (I'm probably going to be hung by my toes for this, but oh well.) Also, if anyone needs another book to fill the time between now and the next book, or the next movie, Michael Paolini's "Eragon" is really good. (probably get strung up for that one, to[font=Geneva][color=blue]o....git)
