Sky News: The fifth Harry

Sky News: The fifth Harry Potter novel of the seven-book series is nearly finished, according to author JK Rowling. Speaking at a charity screening of the first Potter film in Edinburgh, she said: “It’s still not finished but I am writing very hard, so it shouldn’t be long now.”

A summary of what we know about the release date of HP Five: Scholastic (the US publisher) confirmed in their latest annual report, that there would be no new Harry Potter book in fiscal year 2002, that ends on May 31, 2002.
