J.K. Rowling's sixth Potter novel due July 16

why do they need to wait 7 months to publish it? It doesn't take that long to make all the books, does it? And ithere really isn't a point in waiting for marketing purposes since everyone who wants it would probably buy it whether it comes out in January or July... or might it have something to do with kids having more time to read when school is over?

I think I might just wait for book 7 to come out and then buy the last two.
I haven't finished 4 yet and I got 5 last Christmas and I STILL haven't read it!

It's number one on amazon's sale chart already too.

I imagine the lead time is for editing.  She submitted it yesterday, but that is probably a first draft.

By the time J.K. Rowling finishes the series, Harry Potter will be an old man (maybe Daniel Radcliffe too).
