I feel the same way about this book. I want to know how it all ends, but at the same time I don't want it to end.

Oooh, is it confirmed? It was rumoured that it would be only a little bit longer than HBP. But the longer, the better! :D

And all the American editions seem to have more pages than the UK ones. I have the UK ones, and OotP is 766 pages long, while HBP is 607. Must be the lack of illustrations and maybe different fonts or something...

yeah its confirmed.
I have both the UK and US versions .. the UK use a smaller font size and the text is closer together and they have no chapter art (as you know). Where as the US version have the chapter art, use a larger font and the text seems to be almost double spaced compaired to the UK editions.

heres the link to the press release that was issued this morning .. http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/070320/nytu088.html?.v=84

Thanks for the link! I just checked the Leaky and it's announced there, too. I think I'm quite satisfied with the size of the book. :D It's definitely not small. Not that I would complain if it were bigger.

I dont think i would complain if it were bigger either. Was sooooo excited to see that annoucned this morning on Scholastic's website!
Hopefully soon Bloomsbury will fallow suite and let us know the page count for UK version.

I had hoped it would be a bit longer. However, as its longer than HBP, I can't really complain.

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLYYYYY???

That's not long enough... the longer it takes me to read the book, the better. I don't want it to end.

Is it July 21st, yet?

By the way, thanks for sharing this.
