    Default Why do adult Harry Potter books have much more pages?

    I was just wondering. Since the children version of the Goblet of Fire has 636 pages (in the UK) and the adult version has 800 pages. What could possibly take up all this space if they have identicle text?

    The page print is smaller, words are centred more in the page also.

    Not just that, the language is more complicated in the adult books.

    If that was the case then why release 2 seperate versions?

    Buy them and find out.

    In other words, I have no idea! I'm guessing that the language used is more complex.

    The adult version is naughtier in its language. I suppose. I have no clue, but that sounds logical.

    The adult texts have the exact same story within them. The two versions have separate covers because presumably some adults are embarassed to be seen reading a children's book. I assume one of the two versions must have a larger text size.

    Everyone is confusing me now, is the text identicle or not? That's all I want to know really, I just want to be sure on whether it is or isn't identicle.

    Yup.

    No, the text is not identical.

    EDIT: Sorry. Yes, the text itself is identical.

    What's all this about people saying that the sentences are all more complex?

    People who are trying to raise their postcount. HOLLA HOLLA

    The text font and size are different. That's it. Oh, and the stupid covers.
