MuggleNet gives two guesses, September 1 and October 31 that both sound reasonable (start of Hogwarts school year and Halloween), but something tells me that of the two, September is the most likely. My guess is that they'll release it in early to mid-August to give kids a couple of weeks to read it before school starts.
