Rowling's publishers say ``Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix'' will hit bookstores on June 21st.
The book is 768 pages, making it more than one-third longer than the last book.
The book was expected to hit tores last year -- and when that didn't happen, there was speculation that Rowling was suffering from writer's block.
She denied it -- but the book has resulted in a far longer wait for fans than any of its predecessors.

The first contestant to be eliminated was a man who

When the contest ended yesterday, there were only 46 people left standing-- or rather sitting.
They reached the goal of 60 hours of continuous watching and will share just over 14- thousand dollars in prize money.
