| | |  UPDATE: HBP release date to be announced in January
Mugglenet are reporting that they received a memo from a bookstore owner saying that a release date for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince should be expected to be announced some time in January 2005.
The release date for OOTP was announced in January of 2003 and the book went on sale that June, so it would exactly parallel the dates from the last book release.
Source: Mugglenet.
We now have new information courtesy of a different source. The announcement came from someone who works at Waldenbooks, who said a flier was sent out to employees of the store mentioning the newest Harry Potter book on the front page. The flier said: Quote:
"The book world is abuzz with rumors that J.K. Rowling may announce the publication date for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, the 6th book in the Harry Potter series, sometime in January. While that's all we know so far, we want to be ready so that we can start communicating with our customers as soon as the announcement occurs!"
TLC have also added this comment: Quote:
This is still a RUMOR. Before the announcement of Order of the Phoenix's release date, we got many rumors such as these, all of which turned out false. Our sources say that the level of secrecy involved in the announcement of the release date rarely, if ever, extends to something as widely distributed as bookstore memos. This info is kept very close to the chest of the HP publishing world - you could probably count on one hand how many people would know that an announcement was coming in January, at this point, if it were - and none of those people would contact a fan site about it. But we will of course keep you updated with more on this when we can.

I hope this isn't just another rumor. Notice the source is "a bookstore owner," not a rep of Scholastic.
