Can anyone guess the lengths of each of Rowling's chapters?
It has to be at least 5,000 words a piece. Could I be off here?

4. Surely the thickness of each chapter is going to be more appealing?
:spray:

I like big chapters!

5. Usually a printed page
is approx. 250 words long. With 759 pages, that's about 189,750 words in the novel. That's a pretty good sized book. And one that I wrote was about 100,000 words, and about 350 pages long, so that's about right.

6. Of couse - everyone with a basic understanding of numbers can guess.
And even those without can still guess, although guesses like "a duck" or "like the number of stars" aren't going to very accurate.
