This isn't exactly news, but a reader sent this in and the possibility is simply too cool to ignore. JKR said at the cub reporters' press conference last month that she's shooting for a 2007 release of book seven. Like the first six books, it's bound to be released in the summer ... and seeing as seven is the most magically powerful number, just how awesome would it be if the book was released on Saturday, July 7, 2007? (Which, by the way, is 07-07-07.)
Not to mention that it'll also be book seven, year seven, and that there are seven Horcruxes.
And another cool tidbit that we completely missed: this month's Wizard of the Month at JKR.com is Bridget Wenlock, who was the "first to establish the magical properties of the number seven." Let's see ... that's seven characters in her first name, and seven in her last!
I'm sure you all can come up with many more Harry Potter connections to the number seven, but I'll conclude this post with a quote from reader Rudy, who came up with the idea: "Wouldn't we all be in seventh heaven if the book was released on 07-07-07?"
