Sorry, sorry. I don't know, I get daily emails from Yahoo News and this was in one of them. I'll try to track it down for you. ETA: Okay, that particular one came from contactmusic.com (no author), but it was also reported in several papers, including The Times of India: http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/C...ow/2080856.cms


On another note, I've been reading "What will happen in book 7" published by Mugglenet and it said that Rowling did a book reading at Barnes and Noble back in 1999 and when a kid asked her if Harry, Ron, and Hermione would all make it through the series alive, she said "yes." This was years ago, she could've changed her mind by now, but I hope she hasn't!

ETA: The new movie will open on July 11th, 2 days early! http://www.latimes.com/entertainment...tory?track=rss

My mom and I talked about this last weekend. She wonders if there is a specific reason (other than to give us HP fanatics something to get through to the Book 7 release) for the movie coming out a few days before the book release. Something like, a tie in betwen the book and movie. Any other speculations?

Marketing. Creating more hype with the movie in turn creates more hype for the book. Bigger sales both places-- people are curious as to why they moved it up, then will be even more excited to buy the book.

Genius.

Wasn't the book supposed to come out before the movie at one point? I thought that was dumb, to see what happens in 7, then backtrack to 5. I'm glad it's this way...I'M IMPATIENT!!
