While it may not be another novel in the vein of the other Harry Potter books, I would argue that this announced publishing would count as a "new Harry Potter book". (Even though that decision would be against my original bet of "no".)
Clarified Sat 2nd Aug 2008 4:38am PST by jenniandboys[Admin]: Book must be a fiction novel set in the world of Harry Potter, i.e. Prequel or #8 following Deathly Hollows. Encyclopedias or poetry will not count.

Clarified: Book must be a fiction novel set in the world of Harry Potter, i.e. Prequel or #8 following Deathly Hollows. Encyclopedias or poetry will not count although the novel does not have to focus on Harry (perhaps a Snape spinoff?!)

This is partly because the intention to do the Encyclopedias and poetry books was reported at the time of the last book.
