Seamonkey, my copy (Canadian kid's cover) is 766 pages. That's a huge difference in pages from yours, but it's probably due to the added illustrations, larger margins, larger typeface, and leading (the space between lines).

Illustrations are excellent..they give you a hint at the chapter without giving anything away.

Ducky posted about the JKR chat but I forgot about it until today when I stumbled across an excerpt while searching for an explanation/theory of why Harry never saw the thestrals until this year.

Muggle.net's transcript of the chat

Also at alt.fan.harry-potter, a very patient person named Mopple posted a transcript of the chat that appears to be a bit more complete. (It looks like the The Muggle.net copy edited some of the comments for length.) I only skimmed the alt. one and got dizzy - I can just imagine how long it must have taken to write out!

Here's an snippet that, ahem, some of you might find interesting -
Stephen Fry (heavily paraphrased):
Then there's characters like Snape, who are bad but there is a certain ambiguity about him. You can't quite decide because there's something quite sad about him. Something very lonely. We're slowly (after five books) getting the idea that maybe he is not so bad after all.

JK Rowling:
Yes, but you shouldn't think he's too nice. Let me just say that. It is worth keeping an eye on old Severus Snape, definitely.

Eek, it just occured to me...I guess Stephen Fry slipped and mentioned the name of who dies in OotP during the chat with JKR. The Muggle.net transcript blanked his remark out but I'm not sure what they did with the webcast, so if you haven't finished the book, be careful if you don't want to be spoiled.

Stephen King's review of Order of the Phoenix from the July 11th issue of Entertainment Weekly (Katherine Hepburn cover) -

(I hope this link works; it's a pdf file. BTW, that's King's own handwriting.)

Oh, I flubbed the spelling of Katharine Hepburn's name. I feel bad about that and wanted to correct my mistake.

Thanks so much for the link to King's OotP review. I work in a library and we're always looking for reviews that will interest Young Adults.

I found the review interesting and agree that these books will become classics.

Hey guys...

Every year for Halloween I make a totally new and different pumpkin. Last year I actually did 3.. one of each of my nephews and one of my niece.

Well.............. Just finished making this year's Halloween Masterpiece.

And I wanted to share it all with you!

Please tell me what you think! :)

If you all want a HP pumpkin, there is a pattern at www.pumpkinwizard.com. They even tell you how to make your own paterns. We made ours from the OotP Cover.

Thanks for the input. Just entered the contest. If I don't win (judging on what else was there)... then I'll be shocked!

WOW--I am so impressed. I am going to have to show this to my 10-year old daughter. She's a big Harry Potter fan.

Wow, That looked really scary until I realised it was a pumpkin!!
LOL

That's amazing!!
I'd crave a pumpkin, but it wouldn't last 5 minutes outside without some brat breaking it on the street.
