Everyone is expecting her to have it out by 2007. However, like Mark (is your name Mark? If so/not, may I call you Mark, INeedYour Help?) said, she is taking a year off for her baby. So, this year off will be till summer of 2006, then? Then, if it going to be around OotP's length, it'll take 2-3 years. I think 2008. Maybe even 2009. yea, you can call me Mark, since that is my name.  anyway, JKR pretty much has everything all set for book7, plot and everything. And i think she said somewhere that its going to be two years before it comes out. |

I can't.
*dies*
But she said she is definitely taking a year off writing. And *basically repeats Mark* she already knows exactly what's going to happen but she says she doesn't have it perfectly specific and doesn't know the exact length yet, no amount of chapters or pages yet. And she did say that OOTP was like, on the outer limits of how long the books should be, only because she had to get Harry to so many different places.
So yeah, it'll probably be around 2007 or just a bit later if we are very unfortunate.

Assuming R.A.B. destroyed the horcrux AND assuming all the others are unharmed Harry has three to destroy. However, there are a possible maximum of four horcruxes left and a possible minimum of none potentially.
I reckon he will get to a lot of these places and find the horcruxes already destroyed, apart from Nagini... it would be rediculous for Harry to try and destroy the horcruxes, he would have died had it not been for Dumbledore and he had gone alone through the lake. Having said that Slitherin's Locket may have been Voldemort's most prized horcrux... also, theoretically Harry could not have died there dueto the prophecy...

*points finger* "You are setting too much store by the prophecy!"
And no it's certainly not ridiculous for Harry to destory the Horcruxes, it's obvious he'll have Ron and Hermoine with him, and they've gotten though Voldemort difficulties before, such as the ministry, the chamber of secrets, and the sorcerer's stone. Plus it is his destiny to destory the Horcruxes, I think the locket will be the only "sorry, it's already been taken" horcrux, though it is certainly possible that some have merely been relocated, maybe even by Voldemort if he finds out people are onto his secret.
And Harry isn't immune to anything because of the prophecy, the prophecy doesn't HAVE to be fulfilled as Dumbledore said about a dozen times.

Lol sorry, yes you are right... but about destroying the horcruxes:
It just seems that Harry doesn't really have what it takes yet to do it... he wan't do non-verbal magic, he can't do occlumency (which are the two main reasons why he sucked in his duel with Snape). He can't do that "sensing magic" thing Dumbledore did in the cave with the lake (and nor can Ron and Hermione as far as we know). If Dumbledore hadn't been there and it was Ron or Hermione with him do you really think that they would have found the fake horcrux? Assuming they even found the cave, how would they have found the spot to shed blood or even known to shed blood. When they were in the room how would they have found the spot to pull the boat up with? It just seems that at this stage Harry and Hermione or Harry and Ron would just have either died, or not been able to get in at all (let alone finding the cave).

Well obviously Voldemort's not going to put all his eggs in one basket and guard all his Horcruxes in the same way or even give them all the same level of security as he see how he treated the ring and the diary with absolute negligence, leaving the ring in the Gaunt household where anyone who knew his parentage could find it and having the diary be taken to the school where it could easily be destroyed.
And Harry will probably find a mentor in Godric's Hollow or find some way of learning the necessary abilities, he'll need to become a powerful wizard close to Dumbledore's caliber probably, to be able to defeat the last bit of Voldemort's soul in his body. Possibly some aurors if Rufus consents to release Stan Shunpike? Either way, Harry is definitely going to have to destroy at least some Horcruxes on his own, and at the very least you can't say it's ridiculous because he already HAS destroyed one Horcrux on his own.
And we're way off topic from the release date... Or can we talk about book 7 in general here(even though there are already other threads on which to do so....)

Hmmm I guess we really should talk about the release date... why can't JK release a chapter at a time...  |

I'm afraid that simply isn't done, the book has to be released in its entirety and all that stuff. *ignores the sarcasm*
I should hope 2007, but it might be later because there will be even more work to do for the last novel of the series.

1-she finished HBP in like january so this year was for her daughter.
2-she will start 7 next year
3-she feels that OotP is entirely to long
4-when she is done she wants to revise the series(perhaps 1-3 longer and 4-5 shorter)
5-she knows what is going to happen so it shouldn't take too long to write.

That about sums it up... And now I find I have little to nothing else to say on this thread....
