'Deathly Hallows' second or third longest book?

However, on Tuesday, Bloomsbury revealed that their edition of Book 7 would contain 608 pages, making it the third longest book (behind OOTP's 766, and GOF's 636).

MUGGLENET'S APRIL FOOLS' JOKE
Last Sunday, we received a very, very surprising call from the Harry Potter publishers. They wanted us to have a preview of
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. As you can imagine, we were utterly flabbergasted. We, just like you, weren't ready to read the book, but we couldn't pass up that opportunity, now could we? There's a catch. The publishers requested we only inform them of our thoughts on the book, and not post them online. But we really can't do that to you guys! Only a few of our staff members have so far finished it, and a little glimpse at their feelings can be read below. More will be added throughout the day. Enjoy... and shhh!
"Dumbledore's triumphant resurrection, complete with the gaudy descent from the heavens on Sirius' motorbike was completely and utterly unnecessary...but at least we now know where the motorbike actually is and the significance of where it went after Book 1." -Brendan
"I couldn't believe Snape was the long lost love child of Aberforth and that goat. It explains so much, including Severus' appearance. And we now know why he told
Harry to never call him a 'cow'-ard, because he was in fact part goat." -Micah
"It was great to find out what happened to Ollivander. I loved it when he walked into the Order meeting wearing a pink Hawaiian shirt, a straw hat and sunglasses and received a room full of blank stares. It was particularly funny when Lupin turned and said, 'Well, look who decided to show.'" -Andrew
"I always had an inkling that there was more to Hermione; her immediate knack with magic, and her irregular mood swings towards supposed 'friends,' Harry and Ron. I should have known she'd switch to the Dark side eventually. I just wish she hadn't killed the whole of Ravenclaw in the process - I suppose it was just her annoyance at not being sorted there initially." -Ciaran
"Funny how things turn out, who would have thought Ron would become the ninth member of The Weird Sisters. Ron with long hair and living the rock star life? Shocking!" -Rachel
"I
couldn't believe Harry slipped on a slice of carrot cake and fractured his pelvis. I thought it was uncalled for humor in an otherwise serious and superb book." -Jamie

Last September, Entertainment Weekly caught up with the actors on the Order of the Phoenix set, where they were in the midst of shooting the climax Department of Mysteries sequences.
Director Yates recently watched the Detention With Dolores scene with a test audience in Chicago, and he said: "The theater went very, very still. Dolores does it with a smile and a cup of tea. That's what makes her really horrifying."
The trio is growing older, and by the time the Deathly Hallows movie comes out, Dan's expected to be 20 and Rupert 21. According to Dan, "And people come up to me and say, 'Do you not think you're getting too old for the part?' It's lunacy." But even Radcliffe admits that he and his castmates certainly look dramatically different. "I saw a bunch of continuity photos from the first film the other day. It was quite incredible. We've changed so much, it's unreal."
For those of you who are planning on coming out to see me at the Magic Tree Bookstore in Oak Park, IL this Saturday, the event has been moved. The bookstore staff had so many RSVPs that they scheduled two sessions, at 1 PM and 3 PM, but they still don't think the bookstore will hold enough people, so they have moved the location to what I'm told is a mansion that is supposedly very Hogwarts-esque, which is cool. Here's the address:
Pleasant Home 217 Home Ave. at the corner of Pleasant St. Oak Park, IL 60302
We'll be posting dates and information on our summer book tours in the next couple days, so stay tuned!
Okay, you're free to get back to drooling (or not) over the covers.
NEW LAYOUT: Dylan, our graphics designer, has created a Deathly Hallows-themed layout for you to use. A UK Children's theme layout will be up shortly.
Scholastic and Bloomsbury today both revealed the covers for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows!
- United States Children's Edition - view here - United Kingdom Children's Edition - view here - United Kingdom Adult Edition - view here
You can also view a high-res version of the entire US jacket HERE.
Bloomsbury also announced today that the UK edition will be 608 pages long. As previously announced, the US version of the book will have 784 pages, making it longer than GOF. However, the UK page count makes DH shorter than the British GOF (which is 636 pages long). We presume this is due to an increased font size for the US version.
Help spread the word by digging this story on Digg.com, a social-bookmarking site.
UPDATE: Arthur Levine, the US Potter editor, spoke this morning on the TODAY show about the American cover:
"We're seeing Harry in a very interesting situation. Readers will find out exactly what the situation is.
"When I was reading it, I had both the excitement and the power of the book, and the plot, driving me forward. But I was also feeling a little sad. It's the last time."
When Levine admitted he "sobbed and sobbed" while reading Deathly Hallows, he was asked the following:
"That means someone we like dies, doesn't it?"
"Well, it means it is a very, very emotional book," he responded.
Because there are a huge number of non-English-speaking Harry Potter fans, we're excited to announce that MuggleNet's news will now be translated into five main languages of our visitors! Each day, a bilingual translator for Spanish, French, German, Italian, and Dutch will manually - that is, no vague computer-generated translations - translate each news post in order to accommodate the speakers of those languages.
At present, there are few posts translated, but our news in foreign languages can be seen at the links below:
'Deathly Hallows' audiobook to accompany book release
It was announced today that the US Deathly Hallows audiobook will be released on July 21st - the same day as the book itself.
The Listening Library (which creates the audiobooks) also said that the story will run over 21 hours and will retail for $79.95. The first print was not announced, but a representative at Random House was quoted as saying it will "definitely" be higher than the HBP print of 635,000.
A listing on Amazon.com has revealed that the Order of the Phoenix Soundtrack will be released on July 10th at a price of $18.95. You can pre-order it on Amazon at the link above. Thanks to Andrew for the tip!
The number seven: it's been seen as the answer to several aspects of the Potter series, and finally we touch on a few of them. We can't promise they're as in-depth as the ones you'll find around the Internet, but Jamie, Laura, Eric, Micah and I believe they're pretty solid. Also in this week's edition of our Harry Potter podcast:
- Is 784 pages too short? (No!) - It's an all-voicemail show this week! - Did Harry love Cho? - Would Harry kill Ginny if she were a Horcrux? - Would Harry sacrifice himself to save a friend, even if it meant Voldemort could never be defeated? - Was Dumbledore just being himself before he died, or is there something more to his very careful wording?
Daniel Radcliffe last night made an appearance on "Friday Night With Jonathan Ross," a UK late-night talk show, to discuss Equus and the Order of the Phoenix movie. We have a video of the interview for your enjoyment, but beware of language that is unsuitable for children in parts.
Warner Brothers announced in a press release today that Dan Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint are all officially signed on for the Half-Blood Prince and Deathly Hallows films. Each of the three actors, along with Producer David Heyman, were quoted in the release.
From Dan:
"Playing the role of Harry Potter has been an immense privilege, and I look forward to completing the series. I feel a huge sense of loyalty to the character of Harry and the fans who have supported these films over the years. During filming, I have learnt so much, made lots of friends and met people who have changed my life. I am indebted to J K Rowling, Warner Bros. and David Heyman for giving me this fantastic opportunity."
From Emma:
"I could never let Hermione go - she is my hero! I love her too much and love what playing her has meant to me. I am excited and honoured to be finishing what I started and playing her in all seven of the films."
From Rupert:
"Ron Weasley has become a big part of my life and not just because we've both got ginger hair! I've been so proud to play him and loved every second of being part of this world. I'm really looking forward to filming the last two films and being back with my 'Weasley family' and, of course, to seeing my good friends Emma and Dan. Thank you to everyone for being so supportive over the years; we couldn't have done it without you."
We're delighted to announce that MuggleNet's official CoS Forums, the ultimate Potter community, reached the 70,000 member mark today! With Deathly Hallows (not to mention the OOTP movie) mere months away, it's definitely a must-visit for the latest and most in-depth theories. If you're not already a member, we suggest you sign up today!
A group of six youngsters recently caused £50,000 worth of damage to the Hogwarts Express used in the Potter films. The group members, some as young as 10, broke into the West Coast Railway depot at the former Steamtown site in Carnforth, England, and destroyed the train's windows, using its emergency hammers.
Patricia Marshall, managing director of West Coast Railway, said, "It will take at least a month to repair, because so much damage was caused."
