I've read all the harry potter books, will read the new one, not obsessed with it, but I do agree the franchise does ruin it. This will be the first book to be released since the harry potter mayhem, wonder if the quality will have dropped any?
oh and Bartman- I dont believe she has written all 8 books- because there is only going to be 7, it was said that she only just finished book 5.

Of all the books I've ever read that have also been made into movies, the two HP films have been very true to their literary sources. I credit Chris Columbus with some of the sacrifices he made to improve the motion of the first film. The best example of this was the section about Norbert the dragon. In the book this portion was quite a bit more complex than a movie audience would want to see, so the writers/director simplified the story and increased the motion. The same can be said about the Dark Forest encounters. The plot remained intact, despite the truncation of smaller points.
In the second film, it was interesting to see that the filmmakers actually drew out the Basilisk fight, when it took no more than a page to complete in the book. This decision was the opposite of aforementioned changes, but still had the same effect: plot continuity and increased action.

The UK edition has 769 pages. The German edition has 768 pages. The US edition has 896, due to the larger typeface used (I'm not saying anything ). Sorted. [from Amazon.com, .de & .co.uk]

Pansies. Each and every one of Robert Jordan's books are over 500 pages, at least.

Haley Joel Osment has to really be kicking himself for not taking the part for the movies.
Also, I've read the first two in two days. Not bad, but not the best. Currently not even in my top 5, but close.
