Harry Potter News and Commentary
HPANA is reporting that Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows will be 784 pages long (US version)! That sounds about right. We all figured it wouldn’t be as long as Order, but it makes sense that it’s the second longest.Â
They’ve also decided to print it on recycled paper (30% post-consumer waste fiber), which is a pretty cool decision.

Awesome. I only wish it was 1,000 pages at least but hey one can dream, right? But yeah, Death Hallows being the second longest book sounds right. It doesn’t matter about the book length so long as the storyline is great. And we can guess that it will be.
I am perfectly happy with this. And even more pleased that scolastic has decided on such an ambitious and ecology friendly goal for this last installment. Very pleased indeed !
Like wise. If it went for 900+ pages, even with all of the answers JK has to answer, I’d get the impression the book would lag in parts. Remember, if JK answers one big question, a lot of pother could be answered in turn as her story is quite interconnected. So 700+ for the Uk and almost 800 for the US sounds great to me. Bring DH. I can’t wait. I hope this is my favorite in the series. I have a feeling it will be. I juist want JK to answer all of the questions she brings up within the series. I HOPE she’s used internet resources, just as a check list as to what she knows us fans are expecting to be answered.
She wont however have time to answer everything so an Encyclopedia will be awesome.
I’m SO EXCITED!
My uk version of Half-Blood Prince is about 800 pages long.
That’s odd, Kjetil. I have a Bloomsbury edition of HBP here and it is exactly 608 pages long.
That’s the same as mine… Weird. I mean to say no US edition is that long either.

A very cool decision, indeed! Thanks for the heads up.
Incidentally, the Harry Potter and the Law issue of Texas Wesleyan Law Review is now online. Its excellent essays are worth a read, including “Making Legal Space for Moral Choice” by my friend Andy Morriss of Case Western Reserve University School of Law, and “Harry Potter and the Misreable Ministry of Magic” by Benjamin H. Barton of University of Tennessee College of Law, among others. Just FYI.
Thanks for this, Amy.
