Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix will be released June 21, 2003. It is clocking in at 255,000 words.

In comparison, the King James Version of The Bible is 181,000 words.

I wonder if she needs a good editor... also if she took too long and has lost much of her bandwagon?

quite welcome! She's pretty dang late!

I think the grownups will still want to read it, too.

her earlier books weren't quite so hefty. seems a bit excessive for a children's book..... and I wonder how they'll translate it all into a movie?

They won't... things will have to be dropped, unless the story is very simplistic.

I think her books grow in size each edition! Perhaps an outside editor is in order.
