I saw pictures of this "last" book and there are 759 pages instead of

I am convinced some fakery is going on, but not for this reason. I
already knew that "784" is merely the number of sheets of paper
between the covers times two, and the actual numbered pages will be
about twenty-something pages less than this. For instance, IIRC,
Order of the Phoenix had an announced page count of 896, but the
actual numbered pages were about 870.

Whoever is putting out these fakes knows how many pages there are
supposed to be -- and they have access to Marie Grandpre's
illustrations and Scholastic's fonts.


I am quite certain of the validity of the illustrations. The style is distinctive, to say the least. Fonts could be copied with some effort.

The style of illustrations can be faked as well.

Or harvested from somewhere else.
