Ooooh, what fun!  Let's do some sort of pool or poll or database or 
something.  We could use the UK version as the standard.  My UK GoF 
is 636.  I don't think JKR will be able to restrain herself, and OoP 
will wind up being even longer.  

So my guess is . . . 728.

My U.S. GoF is a good deal longer, and I actually prefer the text in 
that version because it is more spread out.  Maybe it's an age 
thing, but my eyes balk at the print in the UK GoF.

Cindy (who thinks one of the math majors ought to do some cool 
projection of the length of Book 7 based on the length of the first 
four books correlated against the number of months JKR took to write 
each book, and who is guessing the projection would put Book 7 at 
1,421 pages)
