Don´t know why I´m not sleeping but was looking on wikipedia and am now wondering why the us editions of harry potter have more pages than the uk/rest of the world editions... any ideas?

The books began as relatively slim volumes (223 pages Philosopher's Stone UK ed. 309 pages "Sorcerer's Stone" US ed.), but have grown as the series progressed (766 pages Order of the Phoenix UK ed. 870 pages "Order of the Phoenix" US ed).

They have more than 100 more pages!

I believe the difference is because the US editions have illustrations at the beginning of each chapters and larger print.

cause americans need large print

americans like EVERYTHING big.

either that or they need big words explained to them

I bet there's a logical explanation for the books though.
Perhaps they just add in extra space where it's not needed or they put in pictures to help them to read.

US has 74% of adults over 15 overweight, Australia has over 67% so we're not too far behind.
Why are people always bagging on Americans being overweight? Over 90% of Micronesia is overweight. Fuck Micronesia! :wave:
