<<Did the book really need to be 700+ pages long...>>

I, too, have looked at HUGE thousand + pg. books and wonder, "Did they
really HAVE to write that much, or is there a lot of extra stuff no
one cares about?" But for some reason, GOF didn't seem any longer to me
than the other three HP books. I read it just as fast. I know it is more
than double the length of the other ones...but it just didn't seem it to
me. I don't think there were that many wasted words. I think that goes
attributed to the fact that JKR is a very talented artist. Only with a
gift like that can you make 700+ seem like a walk in the park. :)
