Harry Potter author JK Rowling has updated
her site to squash part of a recent article that appeared in the press a few days ago. A tabloid paper in the UK quoted Ms. Rowling as saying that "I’m up to about 750 pages now."
JKR posted on her site earlier today:
JKR has written 750 pages of book 7, and told a journalist this at the tea party for 'Driving Lessons'.
Oh pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease. I haven't written 750 pages of book seven, and if I had, I'd be very worried, as I'm not close to finishing it yet.
I was at the tea party for Driving Lessons, though, so this isn't pure fiction. The journalist reports that I said that Rupert is 'absolutely terrific' in the film. He is, so that bit shouldn't be in the rubbish bin at all.
Thanks to Peter and everyone who emailed.

We wouldnt be worried! We'd be glad! I want this book to be like 1500 pages! I cant wait to read this book!
Damn these bloody British Tabloids! -_- The printers of this fictional quote should be fired! I know that to print a paper the truth is sometimes stretched to sell! But to make up a blaitent fact that would effect most of the British population is just plain out of order!

Tabloids are so stupid, they don't know anything they just print a bunch of lies. I hope the book is not 750 pages long!

So......well at least she did update her site. You have to give her that.
Maybe if we come up with another wacko rumor, she'll update her site again and give her something else too this time =P

I was a bit confused by what she said.
"Oh pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease. I haven't written 750 pages of book seven, and if I had, I'd be very worried, as I'm not close to finishing it yet."
Particularly: "If I had, I'd be very worried, as I'm not close to finishing it."
Is she saying that she'd be worried if she finished ONLY 750 pages? Does she mean something else? Could anyone explain this to me?

I do not care how many pages it is as long as it is longer than 400 pages. I was hoping that she was alomst done with it then and I hope that we do not have to wait longer than next year to get it out.
I wish it was that big.

That's just plain cruel! I mean, I know JK must put a stop to all the gossip that goes around concerning book seven, but would it not have been nice? Imagine the last book having more tahn 750 pages and still with a lot to go! I want that book to put an enyclopedia to shame!!!

I wouldn't expect her to be that far already. Didn't she only start writing in January? It would be nice if it were true, but 750 pages of rushed work probably wouldn't be too great. We know she'll finish it in good time and the way I see it, the longer it takes to write, the better it will turn out. So take as long as you want, JKR!

Oooh...Some news that would be if she finally confirmed some good status on that book. She just had to ruin our hopes, didn't she? Ah, well, whenever she's ready then I'll be ready..I'm not really ready for it to end just yet.

Too Bad, I would not mind if she had 750 pages done already. But, I will let her take her time because I want book 7 to be perfect.

Well, I'm glad that she set the record straight. At least we know the truth now. I would be HAPPY if she were up to p. 750 by now, so maybe she would finish up and get a publishing date soon.
