The New York Observer: The enormous secrecy about the fourth Harry Potter book, as it turns out, was apparently because the book wasn’t even delivered to the publishers until — depending on whom you believe — February or mid-April. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is to be released July 8 at 12:01 a.m. Other tidbits from this article: J. K. Rowling is reputedly the third richest woman in the UK now; and the New York Times, possibly to prevent seeing five of her books in its fiction best-seller list, is starting a separate children’s fiction list.
