1. When will Scholastic ship the fifth Harry Potter novel?
As reported in the press, JK Rowling is still writing the fifth Harry Potter novel. When she finishes the manuscript and passes it on to us we will set a publication schedule and let you know our publication plans.

2. Has the title of Harry Potter V been finalized?
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (ISBN 0-439-35806-X) is our working title. If the title changes we will let you know.

3. When can I place my order?
As soon as we have the finished manuscript, we will announce a publication date. At that time, you will be able to order the book. We cannot process orders until the pub date is announced.

4. Will there be national on-sale date?
Yes, when we begin to process orders your sales rep will give you shipping and lay-down details. To receive books prior to the on-sale date, retailers and distributors must agree to abide by the terms of Scholastic's 2003 On-Sale Date Policy. If you haven't already done so, please sign your contract and send it to Scholastic promptly. Click here to download the 2003 policy and contract, or write to us at the address below.
