Yay! First? i think i could handle that many pages.

i hope it is longer. and it's probably just an estimate because what are the chances of books 6 and 7 heaving the same exact amount of pages.

Yey! Second? I agree with ACBDenton, Any Potter could handle that..

it should be way longer, but at least its more that 600 pages 3rd?

i would enjoy more pages than that :)

yay 4th, i want more pages, i want it 2 never end!!!!!

I wouldn't care if it's 608 or 806 or even 1757 pages!

not long enough

Eh, I doubt this is the real page count. And I hope it's a bit longer than that!

i am love that is it more that order of the phoenix?

OmG! So excited. I dont care how many pages because any way it will be amazing!

Wow! can't wait! thanks SO much JK! 7? - most powerfully magical number?? lol

i hope its even longer! i hope this one with super long because its the last one and i just wouldnt want it to end!

Something is strange! I found (while searching book retailer inforamtions about HPDH) that info! at http://www.siciliano.com. br Link: http://www.siciliano.com. br/importado.asp?tema=7&t ipo=2&clsprd=I&id=.993840 &orn=HPI SICILIANO claims HPDH (UK! edition) will contain 780 pages!!!!! Check it out. Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows Children S Edition J. K. Rowling ISBN: 9780747591054 Editora: MACMILLAN PUBLISHING Número de páginas: 780 Encadernação: Brochura Edição: 2007

A more complete coment, what I ment but I think I can handle that, is that if that is a rough minimum number pages, but of course I would absolutlely love many more pages! I just wanted to be the first comment for once! P.S. when is this weeks MC going to come out?!?!?!

ONLY 688 pages? Considering the fact that this is the last book, and that JKR has a lot of loose ends to tie up...I would think that the book would be much longer. This kind of disappoints me. Judging by it's higher pre-order price, I hope Deathly Hallows is the biggest book yet! Laura

Definately an estimate

I've just had a look, and my British copy of Half-Blood Prince has 607 numbered pages. I highly doubt that Deathly Hallows would be so exactly close to it in length. Personally I'm not going to believe this.

i don;t believe it but i hope is true!!!

I think it's too soon to be true. I don't think Jo is finished editing yet, so I think we still have a while before we learn how long the book really will be.

Why is the usa copys bigger?

I do think Jo has finished editing...The cover art will be released within the coming weeks according to a source i have in Scholastic so I expect this information regarding page length to be announced via Jo's site...although im happy with 608...Jo always said that HBP and DH were a two parter....

608??? it's not enough!! it should be so much longer!!! i mean, it's da last book, common! after that.... no more potter! oh god.... nooo :(:(:(

Not long enough...I want this to be the longest book yet.

I just talked to Bloomsbury and they said the number of pages is not out yet. I had heard it would be around 780, but Bloomsbury said that has not been confirmed. :)

how come the american edition should end up 80 pages longer? doesnt seem fair

it can be longer than that!!! ;)

NOT long enough; I would be okay with 80,085,019,024 pages though.

Well I'd have preferred a good ol' never ending book, but i suppose I'll have to make do with 600 pages...

must be longer than 6

I am hoping for 1608 pages! But I think that it a bit of wishful thinking. Anywho, I agree with the theory that they are using HBP as a basis for an est.

How are they supposed to know yet? I mean, according to what Jo's said, it sounds like they have just started editing it, so how can they possibly have a page count already? Wouldn't the page count depend on what they do while editing? SarahtheBeansprout is right, how does the US edition end up 80 pages longer? Do they use a bigger font so the stupid Americans have an easier time reading? And about Americans being stupid, that is a joke people! I am an American, and while I can testify that some Americans are stupid, the stupid Americans don't read Harry Potter, only the smart Americans.

hmmm, it is JUST a rumor, I'll just wait until its official...

I also considered the idea that they took the p. number from HBP. That's what I thought before I even got to the second paragraph. The fact that the numbers are the same pretty much means that this is purely estimation, nothing more.

I don't think so and I really don't hope so!! If it's the last book then I want it to be BIG! I don't care if it breaks my back trying to carry it, make it loooooong.

just a rumor.. nothing to get excited about

I highly doubt this because Jo said indicated that it would probably be longer than HBP

Still, I would rather have ten pages of purely amazing jk writing, then 1000 of loong, booring, jk writing...

only 608? i hope it is much much MUCH longer. plus there are so many loose ends to tie up, it would have to be!!!

I'm sure most of us would prefer it to be quite long. Personally, I'd settle for about twice the size of OOTP. I don't know about the rest of you, but I would've liked HBP to be a bit longer as well, 'cause it wasn't as long as OOTP. I understand people complain about the books being too big and heavy, but it's more important that it's filled with all the magic that we've come to know throughout the series.

hmmmmmm. sounds fishy... neways i doubt its true because Jo probably is still editing. besides 608 pages is fine...................bu t 999,999,999,999,999 is slightly better.

I'd like to see a 999,999,999,999,999 page book...

Well, I'm not buying it (the rumour, not the book;) Whoever talk about their Scholastic/Bloomsbury connections up there sound trustworthy (not bragging, not confirmed etc. After all it IS not confirmed). I do hope this will be the longest yet, though I think we ought to be happy with the (also rumoured) 780. 608 is really the minimun though, I think we can be sure that she wouldn't make the last book shorter than that anyway. Done ranting:p

I think the book will be longer than that...thing of all the things that harry has to do. i know JKR ( way back when) said that she thinks it'll be shorter than book 5 but personally i think it has to be longer than the 5th book.. but thats why she is JK ROWLING. i reallllly hope its longer

once agian, while the longer the better, I wouldn't want 200 pages of mindless nothingness...

my 2 cents: this is most definitely just a rumor/estimate and nothing more. its still way to early to know the exact page count... and, usually, the book cover is revealed before the page count. my guess is that we will get the cover mid april, maybe a little later, and that the page count should follow in may. but for those who think this page count is short.... well i agree... but i dont think we should expect order of the phoenix length. im betting it will be a tiny, tiny bit longer than goblet of fire... but to be safe i think we can expect it to be in the 700-page-range (U.S. edition).

still no1 has informed me why the US version is 80 pages longer when its a british book (well british author... u would think it be the other way around)

i hope it is much longer

SarahTheBeansprout I think its because the american version has chapter art so their wording starts half way down the page whereas our version doesnt. But this might not be right-im not 100%. hopefully someone can explain correctly...

Dragon_queen4ever i agree, but i doubt JKR would put "mindless nothingness"
