I wasn't disappointed with GoF until I reached the last chapter. Then I
felt that JKR had been under pressure to reduce the length of the book
and rushed through the action somewhat.

I am particularly delighted to see a book of that length which appeals
to pre-teens and early teens. Now when my daughter is faced with an
otherwise dauntingly thick text book the comment comes, "It's not much
bigger than Goblet of Fire."

It's great for children to work their way through a long, developing story
and it doesn't do me any harm either. Might re-read War and Peace now ...
