Harry Potter likely to die in book 7 [message #297688] Fr, 07 Juli 2006 10:25
CHRIS  
As J.K. Rowling lately stated there will be the deaths of two main
characters to mourn about in book seven.
It is likely that one of these will be Harry Potter with the odds in favour
of Vol..., äh, you-know-who, to be his murderer.

The appearance of book seven is still unknown, but if you would like to read
some other great Potter-Storys with an alternate, more "Hollywood"-ending
you can take a peek here:

Re-read what she said. She said two characters that she didn't intend
to kill are now going to die, and one character who was going to be
killed will get a reprieve. She didn't say ONLY two characters will
die. She is very careful on how she words things. Considering this
information, I wouldn't be surprised if the book were completed this
autumn.

How does *killing a couple extra characters* translate into *book ready this
fall*?? There would have been announcements of publishing dates and release
dates if it were going to be ready that soon. It just ain't gonna happen
that freaking soon.
I am not jumping, just stating the rather very obvious. These books are
always announced way ahead of time to build the anticipation... MONTHS ahead
of time.

I was considering to write something sarcastic to ridicule the idea in
smugly underplayed way, but decided against it (actually I deleted it).

The idea, I suspect, would be that 'since she knows who dies and who
lives, she must be nearly done', even if that is not true. The
statement that Rowling is careful about what she says is, I'm afraid,
not really true either, even if she often does take care to remain
silent when she would rather not reveal too much ('often' is important
-- revealing the title of OotP prematurely was a slip).

> There would have been announcements of publishing dates and release
> dates if it were going to be ready that soon.

The history shows:

Book Announced Release Forewarning
GoF, rel < Jan 1 2000 8 Jul, 2000 > 6 months
OotP, title Oct 2000 21 Jun, 2003 ~ 31 months
OotP, rel 15 Jan, 2003 21 Jun, 2003 ~ 5 months
HBP, title 28 Jun, 2004 16 Jul, 2005 > 12 months
HBP, rel. 21 Dec, 2004 16 Jul, 2005 ~ 7 months

There are other signs that I have left out from this (such as the
progress-statements of the "it's progressing well" kind about half a
year before the announcement), but in general we've got about six
months of advance notice of the release date, allowing, as you note,
the anticipation (some would naturally call it the hype) to build up,
ensuring yet another record-setting advance sale.

Furthermore all the books have been released in June or July (6 June to
16 July), and it is a reasonable supposition that the last book will
also be released during these two months.

> It just ain't gonna happen that freaking soon.

No, it is not. The last book will /not/ be released in 2006, and if it
is to make a summer 2007 release, it is about time that we are told the
title.

> I am not jumping, just stating the rather very obvious.

You should know by now that shooting down people's pet ideas by
referring to experience, cool overview, facts, logic and common sense
will, regardless of the intentions, at times be seen as jumping . . .

The whole printing process[1] means that it takes half a year from Jo
hands in the manuscript until the book can be bought, but from the day
she does hand in the manuscript (or a day or two later, when they've
counted the characters/words/pages) they can fairly quickly set a
release date, which will be published immediately -- there are strong
financial interests forcing the information to be announced ASAP. If
book six was to be released in 2006, we would with absolute certainty
have known by now (they're not, I believe, going to make a December
release missing the Christmas shopping in November).

And now I am waiting to see how long it takes for the snippet from CNN,
posted on Mugglenet today, about how SCHOLASTIC would like a 2007 release
date, to end up here as someone swearing that is gospel truth for a
confirmed release period.

OK, I'll do it.

DUH, CNN said Scholastic said there'd be a 2007 release date, and JK
Rowling will bend over backwards and jump through hoops to make their
decreed deadline.

Toon, you really are funny! Actually, Liz Calder, the publishing
director of Bloomsbury, did an interview in May and said, "The next
Harry Potter book is likely to come out in 2007".

Well, I am sure that they would have liked a 2002 or 2001 release date
for OotP, but they didn't get that either ;-)

But Rowling said last year that she thought it would "be at least
another two year wait" (the cub reporters), and that would make it
summer 2007 at the earliest.

On the other hand, I think the prognosis for a summer 2007 release is
good at the moment (we're getting some 'things are going fine' reports
from Jo), but I'd really like for the title to be out within the next
couple of months (I wouldn't be surprised to see it out a little later
than last time -- about 9 - 10 months before the release (and therefore
some 2 - 4 months before the announcement of the release date).

I've always heard that it is going to be 7/7/07, right in time for my
b-day. I thought she picked the date to be symbolic (not so much
as 'lucky' as 'seventh son of seventh son of seventh son', or something
like that.. )

But, time will tell, won't it? She controls the pen.

Troels, has anyone wished you a 'welcome back' yet? If not, I'm doing

I've heard that a lot, too. But never ever from a source genuinely
linked to J. K. Rowling. On this newgroup, it went from, "Maybe it will
be 7/7/07, wouldn't that be cool?" to, "I heard it was planned for
7/7/07" to, now, "Rowling said it would come out on 7/7/07."

You're right Kish. The only place I've ever seen it mentioned
"unofficially" was on hpana.com because someone wrote an
essay/commentary in Dec.'05 saying that 7/07/07 would be a cool date to
release the book. There's been absolutely nothing official anywhere
that would indicate that date at all.

But wouldn't be even cooler if it is released July 31, as it's both
Harry's and Jo's b-days?...

Why not release it on September 11? That's as cool as July 7. (Hint - Check
the news from the UK from last week)

There is a problem in the UK with a 7/7/07 release date, remember it was
that date last year when all the bombings in London happened, I really can't
see her using that date now!! It is the equivelant to the US 9/11!!

A chapter a day? That would take about two months. :-)
At least it would end the "I read it in <x> hours" brags.

Re-read what I said. I said she will probably be finished this
autumn...I didn't say it would be published this Autumn. Autumn lasts
until mid-December, which would mean the book still wouldn't be
officially published until late Spring/early Summer. And the fact that
she has announced such drastic changes (two deaths when they weren't
planned) means that she has obviously made some progress, and the
indications that both her publishers expect the book to be released
next year indicate that we will get it next year (excepting, naturally,
some unforseen circumstances). As for the title, it'd be nice if she
gave it to us at the charity reading in New York, but she may not have
come up with a title yet.

First of all nothing in the post you reply to addresses anything said
by you.

Secondly I have never directly commented on your post, merely on
somebody else's interpretation of your post -- the idea as presented by
the OP, which may or may not be what you intended to say.

> I said she will probably be finished this autumn...

You said 'completed', which can mean one of several things -- 'ready to
hand in the manuscript' as well as 'ready to print' or 'completed for
release'. The thing that is normally being discussed is the release
date, so the misunderstanding is, IMO, quite natural in this context.

> I didn't say it would be published this Autumn.

Right, you didn't.

> wouldn't be officially published until late Spring/early Summer.

Some 6 - 7 months after Jo Rowling hands her manuscript to Bloomsbury
and Scholastic, yes.
