Her pace has slowed quite a bit, and the three-year delay between Fire and Phoenix was hard on us grownup fans--and likely excruciating for the younger ones. So I'm glad she's settled back into producing them regularly again. My concern lately has been whether it will be physically possible to continue making these as single volumes, given how long they are getting: Sorcerer's Stone, 309 pp Chamber of Secrets, 341 Prisoner of Azkaban, 435 Goblet of Fire, 734 Order of the Phoenix, 870 I used to gobble them up all in one day, but that wasn't possible with Fire and Phoenix--I had to break it up, which I hate to do with this type of book. Novels should be consumed as gluttonously as possible, IMHO. Actually, the text on the first book is copyrighted 1997: I suspect that was when the UK edition came out.

My concern lately has been whether it will be physically possible to continue making these as single volumes, given how long they are getting:

Sorcerer's Stone, 309 pp
Chamber of Secrets, 341
Prisoner of Azkaban, 435
Goblet of Fire, 734
Order of the Phoenix, 870

I used to gobble them up all in one day, but that wasn't possible with Fire and Phoenix--I had to break it up, which I hate to do with this type of book. Novels should be consumed as gluttonously as possible, IMHO.

I think that one's slated for 2008 or thereabouts. The next one after that will be Harry Potter and the Sheer Futility of Trying to Come Up with Yet Another New and Interesting Plot for an Excessively Popular Series of Books.
