French sentences tend to be longer... I noticed that on cereal boxes when the French paragraphs are a bit longer than the English ones.  There's no added content or anything.

hmm...  That's pretty crazy! 200 pages of longer words... I'd like to see HP7 in another language. Just to compare and see the difference.

It's like how the U.S. versions are longer because you have pictures and bigger font size.

I translated this article for the French forum, and just to give you an example of what I mean by saying that the sentences are longer, I used the trusty word count.
Amount of letters in the English article: 238
Amount of letters in the French article: 264
That's 26 letters, a considerable amount for such a short article.
And obviously, as Emma mentionned, the font size, and even the dimensions of the book has an impact on the amount of pages. Although, if I remember correctly, there are no pictures in the French edition.
