You didnt know what you wanted!
Its like a toddler whos cranky between snack time and afternoon nap.
And there are even clues about his third-through-seventh naps laced into his very first nap in 1998!!
Theres a reason you dont hear anyone complain about having to wait forChamber of Secrets.

Waiting forOrder of the Phoenix(July 2000-June 2003)
I did my waiting!
Three years of it!
The mathematically longest gap between Harry Potter books was the very drawn-out interval bridgingGobletandOrderin the early 2000s.
Thankfully, the interval was made miraculously more tolerable by the calming presence of communities likeMuggleNetandThe Leaky Cauldron.
Those years were some of the most magical in the fandom, to be sure.
Waiting forGoblet of Fire(September 1999-July 2000)
Straight-up, waiting forGoblet of Firesucked.
You knew it, I knew it, and finally, the world knew it.
