Just an observation on my part, but I find it curious that mention is
even made of the number of pages book 4 has. It's fairly obvious that
the combined total of all 4 books exceed 700 pages. Most of us here will
read the remaining 3 novels REGARDLESS of the number of pages. Let's not
forget those voracious Potterites who are in their 3rd or 4th (or more)
reading of the ENTIRE SERIES!

If GoF had long stretches of boring dialogue, or was badly written,
I'd say extreme editing was needed. It seems to me that GoF maintained,
if not surpassed, the same level of integrity as the books preceding
it. I have yet to read a disappointing Harry Potter book! I gather a
lot of readers feel the same way. Heck, I read GoF in 1 day and was
disappointed the story had to end. I'm currently rereading the series
from the beginning. This time last month I'd have asked you, "Who the
heck is Harry Potter?"

If the saga remains as enchanting as it's been up to now, I could care
less how many pages the books are. As far as Harry Potter goes, JKR
can't write enough!
