Can't wait for final book, I've been one of those people standing in a queue at Borders at midnight ready for the release
Thought Order of the Pheonix was the weakest of the books, but Half Blood Prince was excellent - so high hopes for last book

The book is written, has been written for a long time (in her mind). Publishing date has not been set yet.
As far as I know.

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. ... The piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.
~ Howard Phillips Lovecraft

I work at a Borders Express and it's to my understanding that the 7th book is going to be 07/07/07; one week before the movie.
They passed an old woman who was just opening the door of a brown Cadillac. An old man was already sitting in the passenger seat. The car had a personalized plate with the letters “J-U-S-P-R-A-Y”.
“That stuff work?” Israel said to her.
“‘Scuse me?” the little old woman said, clutching her keys.
“The spray. Does it keep them away?”
“Keep who away?” She looked confused.
“I gotcha.” Israel gave her a conspiratorial wink.

Lisa Wrote::eek: That doesn't sound too uplifting. D'you think Harry is a goner?
I have a feeling he may be.
I can't recall exactly what was written, but it was the thing that drove Voldemort to seek out Baby Harry and try to kill him. Something about one not seeing the other survive? Help, anyone?
Reading is freedom.
The mind soars, no earthly cares,
no limitations.

Years ago my mother used to say to me... "In this world, Elwood, you can be oh so smart or oh so pleasant."
Well, for years I was smart.
I recommend pleasant.
You may quote me.

A lot of people have been saying that, for whatever reason, but there is no official release date yet. Maybe it'll happen, but I wouldn't hold my breath. I think somebody just got the idea in their head that 07/07/07 was somehow "significant." Unless Rowling agrees -- and finishes the book very, very soon -- I doubt that'll be the date.
For comparison, the title of the sixth book was announced more than a year before the book came out. She finished the book that December, and it came out the following July. It's possible Rowling is close to finishing book seven, but I haven't read or heard anything to lead me to believe that. And unless she is, a July 2007 publication date seems really optimistic. But hey, I'd love to be wrong.

I don't have the book in front of me, so I cheated and got this off of a website (please forgive any inaccuracies and blame said site
):"The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches . . . born to those who have thrice defied him, born as the seventh month dies . . . and the Dark Lord will mark him as his equal, but he will have power the Dark Lord knows not . . . and either must die at the hand of the other for neither can live while the other survives . . . the one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord will be born as the seventh month dies . . ."
That's the prophecy revealed, if memory serves, near the end of book five. Rowling often has pretty major twists to her plots, though, so I wouldn't be surprised if there are things about the prophecy that we don't know yet and completely change how we view it.
