I thought it was supposed to be out in May, but I haven't heard why it hasn't been released yet. I'd like to find out, as well.

PS:

<font color="gold">I've heard that it comes the 21st of June, in 6 days.

Some cool facts that I found at another forum who again found it on CNN.com:</font>

Quote:
HOW LONG ARE THEY?
"Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" will clock in at 255,000 words, according to its publishers. Here are the lengths of other literary works:

- The Bible: 774,000 (Old Testament 593,000, New Testament 181,000)
- "Hawaii," James Michener: 500,000
- "David Copperfield," Charles Dickens: 357,000
- "Wuthering Heights," Emily Bronte: 116,000
- "Treasure Island," Robert Louis Stevenson: 68,000
- "Julius Caesar," William Shakespeare: 19,000
- Gettysburg Address, Abraham Lincoln: 272
- "The Cat in the Hat," Dr. Seuss: 237

The new book is 38 chapters and 255,000 words, more than one-third longer than the fourth book, "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire," the publishers said in a press release.

Given that "Goblet" clocked in at 752 pages in its American edition, this means that Book 5 is approaching James Michener -- or Dickens -- lengths. (The publishers apparently will reduce the size of the type; the new book is going to be 768 pages, they say. At least it will be in Britain, where "Goblet of Fire" ran 636 pages.) Michener's "Hawaii," for example, was a brain-fogging, wrist-breaking 500,000 words.

However, eager readers who gobbled up "Goblet" will probably be unfazed by another 60,000 words -- indeed, it's probably a bonus. "
<font color="gold">I hope it'll be a good read. 38 chapters ad 255,000 words is a bit risky by Rowling, though, if you ask me.</font>

I can confirm this. My wife is the manager of children's books at our local book store, and she has to be there at midnight for some kind of "release party". Anyway, from what I understand the book will retail for around $30.00 (US).
