'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows' on recycled paper

Scholastic Inc., which is the American publishers of the Harry Potter books, has just revealed that the seventh and final book in the series, 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows,' will be 784 pages long and will be printed on recycled paper.

'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows' will be the second longest in the Harry Potter series by best-selling author JK Rowling. 'Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix' which has 870 pages is the longest book in the series about the young wizard.

Bloomsbury, the British publisher of the Harry Potter books hasn’t announced the total page count of their edition yet, but if it is like past editions in the series by JK Rowling it can be expected to have fewer than the US version. The Harry Potter fan site, 'The Leaky Cauldron', thinks it will only have a total of 700 pages.

The entire first print run of 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows' published by Scholastic has been confirmed to be 12 million and will all be on recycled paper.
