Aaron Tunn sent along a couple of Harry Potter stories. Hold on, Harry\’s on the way, says, the fifth Harry Potter novel is well on the way to \”The End\”, and could be in the bookshops, in Europe at least, by Christmas.

Rowling, has ended a year\’s speculation that she had writer\’s block and had lost the desire to finish the seven-part Harry Potter series, by announcing that the fifth book is almost finished, and could be as big as the last, the 636-page The Goblet of Fire.
