Good idea.
Sucks for me ... I'm getting the book at midnight of course, but I won't be able to read much 'cause I have to go home and sleep. I have to get up early for an all day/all night gala performance thing at this theatre camp I've been attending. I won't even be able to really start reading it properly till Sunday. Cheese

I'm getting my copy delivered, the alarm is already set for 7am and I've been working on a nice comfy indent in the new sofa so I'm completely comfortable.

Yar, me too.
I kind of want to pace myself, but also I want to read them before everyone else AND I won't be able to wait to see what happens. I have like, no self control.

According to Wikipedia, American is confirmed to be 784, and UK is expected to be 608. They're cited, too.

HBP was 607 I think , and there's never been two books so close in length, I don't think.

It is 607. A couple more sentences and it would've been 608.
It could've coincidentally happened. I mean, I wouldn't edit my content just because it was really close to the length of my previous one.

We're comparing the two British ones, though, which are apparently a page apart in difference.

Yeah, I think it's really odd, because all the others have varied so much in length...but was it my imagination or did she once say that the last two books could really be one whole book?

Something like that.

Still, not that that makes any difference.

Yeah but that doesn't necessarily mean they'll both be the same length. Like if you put PoA and GoF together and chopped them in half, you'd end up wiith a year and a bit in the first book, and about 3/4 of a year in the second.

Meh, very odd though.
