Hmm... I'd BETTER be longer than 688. The idea that the last book is only the third-longest book in the series? I thought there was a bit more stuff to wrap up, Jo.

obviously! it was just a rumor after all.

I was kind of freaked out by that news yesterday so I'm glad that it's been confirmed that it's not confirmed... Heck yes, I hope it's twice the size of OotP!

Woo the 1st comment wasn't just to say 1st. So I'll say it. Woo 3rd! Lol! Don't want longer than OotP. How good was PoA with only a couple hundred pages. Can't wait.

Yeah. I will wait for the official statement from JK's website.

Yes! I want an 1000000 page book! Got a little scared yesterday.

PLEASE it should be twice as long as OotP!!! (though I know it won't be that long, but still....) I want it to take me LOOOONG time to read!

Phew!! That's a relief! I hope it's longer than OoTP...

ya! top ten...thats good...if its longer of corse...

Yeah, I don't believe in any of this, "Wooo, I posted first" garbage. If you're going to post something first, I say, post something that's worth reading. Meanwhile, I meant "It'd" above.

I knew it.

I can't wait for this book! So exciting!

www.harrypotterabout.com NOW ITS CLAIMED THAT ITS DEFINITLY 780! THE SOONER JO ANNOUNCES OFFICIAL THE BETTER!

Thanks, Ciaran! I hope we get soon the official information, not just rumours.

I hope it goes on forever ;) Or at least 800-900 pages..

OH PLEASE OH PLEASE BE BIGGER THAN OOTP!!!

I hope it will be bigger than OotP! There is so many loose ends that need tying up.

Thank goodness for that. Whew. I'm holding out for an encyclopedia-sized Deathly Hallows. hehhehe :)

I need a longer one! I mean this is the last book and it should be longer than any other book considering it has many thing to explain and all that stuff that was left behind by the previous books!

how about mugglenet keeps posting different page number rumours, then if bloomsbury keeps saying "it's not got that number of pages", then we can eventually find out by process of elimination.

Great! It won't bother me if Deathly Hallows is longer than OOTP. I knew it would happen. I'm looking forward to reading it.

GUARANTEED: AMERICAN DEATHLY HALLOWS IS 784 PAGES!!!!

how do know thats guaranteed? anyway i hope it is the longest book out of the series. it should be cause it has to clear up so many things. a lot has to happen.

MUGGLENET WILL HAVE THE STORY SOON! 784 AMERICAN EDITION-IM TRYING TO FIND OUT ABOUT THE BRITISH ONE....

Actually, it's 784!!! Ahhh! get over to Leaky!

I don't believe the guarantee from RyAn...do you have a reliable link that can prove it? Bloomsbury just said they have not counted the pages yet for the UK yet.... @_@ Gosh, I remember when people were claiming OotP was going to be 1200-1400 pages long. >_< It better not be inbetween the size of PoA and GoF. This book's got to be huge, there's a lot of loose ends to tie up!

i hope its huge!!! ill definently finish it that night/ ill grab it at midnight, and right when i get in the car, ill pull out a flashlight and start reading!

Susan14 Im saddened you dont believe me-i have no reason to lie. Anyway people know im not-its on leaky, hpana and yahoo. Scholastic have announced 784. Bloomsbury wont tell what british count is yet.

didn't JK say she wouldn't write a bigger book than OOTP? I sure hope it'll be at least 700 pages, or else my fantasy would end in les 24 hours reading =/

the-leaky-cauldron.org states that scholastic says the book will have 784 pages... it was announced today at 10:23AM Eastern Time. hopefully it's a little bit longer... ~m~

I hope that DH will be 28633 pages long.

We NOW KNOW IT IS 784! The british edition WILL BE LESS we know that! Id estimate 700-730 mark....

I don't want a huge book.What's the point.It can be brilliant and 700 pages,and 1000000 pages and very boring!

dude, it's official for scholastic, 784 pages.

this book should be the longest since it the last one. there are so many things that wil have to be done to finish the serires. hopefully all the questions will be answered. (mainly will voldemort be finally defeated and not come back when harry is 70 or something.)

yeah, if this book isnt the longest, then that will be...weird. it almost HAS to be really long, in order to tie up all the loose ends and make everything work out.

ITS NOT THE LONGEST PEOPLE!! Its official! Its 2nd! Jeesh when are Mugglenet gonna post this news!!

784 pages, officially! rock on!

Aaaah Leaky says Scholastic says it's 784! That's signifficantly longer than Goblet! DH will be the second longest! That's good enough for me:)

I don't think that it should be some ridiculous amount of pages so that all the ends can be tied up. Jo said herself that she has given us everything we need to figure out the end of the series. She also hinted that she will not be answering some things so there will still be room for discussion after the series ends. I think it will be more fun to speculate on some things and come up with our own solutions! One more thing, why is everyone so concerned that they are in the top ten or first or second in posting? Some people even just comment that they are first and don't actually say anything about the news they are commenting on. It's pathetic, really....

Yeah, I just read on Leaky that it's 784 pages. That's a relief. I would've liked it to be longer than OoTP, but at least it is longer than GoF. SO EXCITED!

It BETTER be longer than OotP...I'm hoping for somewhere in the 800-900 pages area, at least. C'mon Jo!!!!!! Give your fans some love (not like you haven't already given us any...^_^) Please??????????????

Heiress_of_Insanity ITS NOT!!!! OMG!!! READ THE COMMENTS-ITS NOT LONGER! ITS THE SECOND LONGEST!!

omggggg....608pgs wud b tooo short!! thank goddd its not a true rumore i totally agree with Lily_Windsor ....i really hope the DEATHLY HALLOWS is double OOTP!! that would be awsum!! omg cant wait!!

Are you mugglenet guys sleeping? The US edition will contain 784 pages!

ohh i get soo excited at any dh news!! woop :)

I know why has this not yet appeared!! This place has slowed down terribly!

Hehe, Ryan2006
