How long is everyone's Half-Blood Prince book? I've read that it's 608 pages but mine is 607 pages. Does that mean I'm missing the last page???

Misprinted copies of HBP
After waiting two agonizing years to get their hands on the newest HP book, some unlucky fans were given misprinted copies of Half-Blood Prince when they finally received their books this past Saturday. A few misprints are common in the publishing industry. Some copies end up with slanted text, the dust jacket misprinted or even the entire book printed upside down. These books, oddly enough, often end up being very valuable.
Just found this too
Many visitors have e-mailed to tell us about some misprinted copies they've received. The errors range from 20+ pages missing to strange pieces of tape on the spine

mine is 607
Mine is 607, though I have heard that the adult version or is it maybe the american version has a different number of pages! Don't know how true that it though. It looks like most of us have 607 pages (and I have a slanty page!) so I should think we are all reading the same thing :)
Mines 607, and is the kids book so it matches with my other ones

There should not be any difference in the adult version apart from the book cover

Im sure there is no difference for the adult to the kids version just the book cover
You're right :D I googled it.

You're right :D I googled it.
were both right :D lol
Its for adults who dont want to be seen reading a kids book. I dont get it though, because surely the massive "HARRY POTTER AND THE HALF BLOOD PRINCE" on the front sort of gives it away! Then if it looks more posh and grown up, everyone knows that 5 year olds read it!

It does give it away but it is a different cover is designed darker so it does look more adult like
But its still a kids book, even if the cover is darker, the story is the same.

but harry potter is for all ages
But when Adults try to deny they are reading it, but taking the covers off ETC, i find that really funny

lol :lol:
Its great cause most of them are on page 20 odd, so my son is telling them all that I had finished in 1 1/2 days. They all keep going is this true, is that true and I'm telling them they'll just have to read it to find out!!
As an "Adult" (though what is one of them - I may be old enough but don't act it!!!) Im not at all ashamed or embarrassed of reading the Harry Potter books - they're excellent!
this one's alright.. i've just had another look my book is 607 pages and it has writing on it, so how can some books have 606??

Do you have hte kids cover, or the adult one?
same here, but i find it funny when adults read from the adult covers. Its like they are trying to cover up the fact its Harry Potter because the adult cover isnt as known as the kids one
yeah, even though they are the same
Why do they have to be different? Its just a book!
But why do some adults think that they need to have a different cover to the one that the kids have. Its so stupid, its just a book the cover isn't going to disguise it
hmm i have no idea, but i know for a fact the adult ones aren't being marketed at lower prices
and maybe they want to be taken seriously
really? I didn't know that! Thats stupid as well, its the same book why a different price as well as cover!?
