Finally.

I love these books, and respect their author, and understand her reasons...

Oh hell.
No.
I'm petulant and bratty and I want the next book. So, Ms. Rowling, will you please stop bonking like horny sheep and get on with it please.

Though I hope to keep it a secret from my daughter, just so that I dont have to fight to read it first.

 

[ShyGuy68]

Here are a couple of teasers from the next book. It begins with the words:

The hottest day of the summer so far was drawing to a close and a drowsy silence lay over the large, square houses of Privet Drive … The only person left outside was a teenage boy who was lying flat on his back in a flowerbed outside number four.

Later in the novel, J.K. Rowling writes:

Dumbledore lowered his hands and surveyed Harry through his half-moon glasses.
"It is time," he said, "for me to tell you what I should have told you five years ago, Harry. Please sit down. I am going to tell you everything."
