Glory be! The ratio! (OoP)

[Tabouli]

So the phoenix is *finally* coming home to roost... and on the solstice, no less!  I'm hankering already for the unveiling of the cover design.  But... *one-third* longer that *GoF*???  Egad.  This is going to look very odd indeed in the boxed sets.  The mind boggles.  At this rate the seventh book in the series  (which JKR always said would be the longest) will need an entire box to itself.

The length of these books seems to be going up exponentially.  In fact... this sounds like a mission for David.  There must be some mathematical way to check whether the page count best fits an exponential curve, mustn't there?

Tabouli.
