It might not be published until next year.
Fans were expecting the book to be on store shelves by this summer. It wasn't an unrealistic expectation given Rowling's history. The first Harry Potter book came out in 1997. The next three followed at a rate of one a year. Although there was no book last year, fans were treated to the movie version of the first
book. Rowling has promised to write seven books -- one for every year Harry and his friends attend Hogwarts school for wizards.
