I dont know if this is really the right place to post this but still

Has any one else seen Newsround tonight? JK won her court case. The other woman has to pay a fine for lieing in court (I cant spell). And Newsround got an interview with Jk and she said she had finnished writing book 5 but needed to tweak it to get it how she wants it. She wouldnt say whens its coming out cause she doesn't know herself. She said it will probly be nearly as big as book 4 as well. :D :grin: :) :grin:

Great that the book is going to be long!
Yes, JK said in spring that the book was ready, she only had to rewrite two chapters. I hope she's almost done now.

Oh, how I want this to be true, but I really doubt that the book will be out earlier than next spring or even summer :-?

look what i found......its another news article...about book 5....and this place is usually right....

By Lizo Mzimba
CBBC Newsround Online
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Harry Potter author J K Rowling has revealed for the first time that there's a major death in the next Potter adventure.

She also said that the almost finished fifth book is much darker in tone than the previous stories.

38 chapters long!

Speaking to Lizo at the world premiere of The Chamber of Secrets she described what was in store in The Order of the Phoenix.

"It is dark," she said. "There's a bad death in it that I haven't enjoyed writing."



Potter star Emma Watson
J K also said that the book now looked like being even longer than Goblet of Fire.

She said: "At the moment it's 38 chapters."

That's a chapter longer than the last book!

She's now putting the finishing touches to the manuscript which she says is just "weeks away" from being delivered to her publishers.

"I'm really pleased with it," she said. '[I'm] just going to tweak it a tiny bit more, then the publishers will have it."

The book should be ready in the shops about five months after that.
