| | |  Rumour: 750 pages in book 7 so far
The Daily Mirror and The Times note that J.K.Rowling recently attended a tea party to celebrate the premiere of ' Driving Lessons'.
She reportedly told a journalist at the event that book 7 was "up to about 750 pages" at the moment. This would make it just shorter than ' Order of the Phoenix' (the longest Potter book so far), which has 766 pages in the British edition. Quote:
“I’m up to about 750 pages now, but I’m not telling anyone what happens to Harry,” she says. “I’ve just come along to support Rupert who’s absolutely terrific in Driving Lessons.”

wow, that would be one major read, however, it will be edited down i'm guessing. Also, wouldn't it have to be split in to two books if it gets much bigger?

Wow, that's brill the way she went to the premiere to show her support for Rupert. Ooh, I hope she isn't finished with the 7th book just yet, maybe she can beat the 5th book, the longer the book, the better! | |

If this is true its awesome, I mean if shes half way through and shes already written 750 pages then looks like we've got a lot of content which is brilliant for the grand finale.

|  As long as she explains...
Personly i think the longer it is the better it is! As long as everything is going to be explained in full detail and we finally see who's side snape is really on i don't mind how long book 7 is!

750 pages... and Ms. JKR is still writing, is this correct?
Well, I hope the final edit would have as much pages as needed to give the series a proper closing. 
Thanks for the info!

Remember guys, this is a RUMOR.
I would love a long last book, but it seems odd that she would comment on the length of pages before a title had even ever been mentioned. :/ I feel like this might be untrue.

^^ Yeah you are right it is still a rumor and it does seem quite wierd that she'd tell them were she was already
maybe the journalist just wanted publicity

JKR can make it as long as she wants, just as long as it's as good if not better than the rest of the books! I love her work and can't wait to read more...even if it is the end of the series!!!
