Harry Potter = t3h r0x0rs. It's an amazing series. The only thing that annoys me about it is all the little kids that go crazy and give the series a bad name.
it farted out after 3rd one, now its 4/5ths fillter, well, im not saure about the brand new one, but 4 and 5 are filler

I thought the most amazing part of the new book is when it turns out that Harry and Voldemort are really twins! If you believe me, I'm sorry, you're an idiot.

Dude, don't be silly.
The best part was when Hermione is killed by Harry.... I won't tell why, so the book isn't spoiled though.
Whoops... too late :dry:

Well I might read the book. I wonder if Harry Pottoer will ever get old in the book? And teach classes or somthing. I think he could live off his money from the first movie and book.

if you read the first 3,4 or 5 chapters Carefully the whole book is spoiled, do it with the first 5, its the same all you hafta remember is
A) The bad guy always comes back
b) something new and extremely retarted and uncalledfor happens
C) something mentioned in the begiining ccomes back in the end.

The series is stupid . It's just all about some old guy running a school and a geek with a scar on his forehead with family issues, a girl who nags and tries to be a goody-two-shoes and a red headed scaredy-cat who needs to be laid. Doesn't sound interesting to me.

Other than that, I guess you can blame us if it makes you feel better.
Who leaked it in Canada? I don't follow the publicity on it, so didn't know about that.

Here's the plotline:
Harry goes to school. His friends and him run around after curfew, and discover a huge mystery. The bad guys (posing as good guys) hurt a bunch of people. The person the book makes out to be THE bad guy turns out to be there to help Harry.
After a huge fight, which Harry will be seeming to lose, he will win and "beat" the bad guy. But actually, the bad guy will get away, because there are more books he muct torment harry in.

This reminds me of my younger brother's stories:
"...and the bad guys fought the good guys, and the bad guys used their bad powers to become badder bad guys"
Too much bad guy/good guy.

And then the neutral guy sat there while the other neutral guy ate popcorn. The neutral guy then proceeded to take some popcorn from the neutral guy. The neutral guys shrugged. The end.

Some people seem to hate it because of it's trendy nature. Or otherwise.
But if it turns off televisions and gets people reading books, it can't be all that bad.

That's bullshit. Unless you're a speed reader, in 3/4 hours, you would only finish maybe 200-250 pages at most.

I don't "speed read", I think that's a scam.
But I do read quickly.
I finished it in about .... 10 hours. Give or take an hour.
It wasn't in one sitting either, so it's not too accurate, but a good ballpark figure.

No, she gets jealous and shoots a video with Snape. It got very vivid and gross. It remeinded me of child porn. :(.
Nevertheless, the book ended in one massive orgy.
EDIT: @ Max- as long as Goblet of Fire

And then Harrison Ford came in with a tank and started blowing chunks out of Hogwartz. Then Ahhnold Swarchenegger lifted the tank and broke it with his head, tossing it to the moon, grabbed two beautiful women, and started riding off into the sunset on a yacht.

And then Snape gets arrested for Hermione being underage. Ron goes to jail because he became an adult and Harry was still underage, and they spent the rest of their days in Azkaban with a man named Bertha.
Then Hermione kills Harry by shoving him down a well.
The End.

07-18-2005, 01:18 PM
But Harry survived, unknown to Hermione, just in time to see Rambo, who showed up with Ramzi Yusef and Ted Kaczynski and blew up the entire world, muggle and non-muggle. Then, however, Captain Baccaurd and Star Trek Voyager flew in and got a few survivors and transferred them to the newly built Death Star. The book ends with Harry becoming Count Potter with his partner Darth Ron. Together the queers will rule the galaxy unless Galactic army, lead by Jedi Hermione, can cast their way into victory.
The next book will prove to be very exciting.

I'm not going to read this thread yet because I'm a slow reader and don't want spoilers....
I'd just like to say...add me to the list of Potter addicts....
I really don't know whats so great about these books. But SOMETHING must be. Because I don't have the attention span for most books these days, yet I can't put these down. The prose is often mediocre, the plots tired, old, repetitive and predictable, the characters relatively steryotipical and two-dimensional, but when I'm actually reading the book I somehow forget all these things and just get totally lost in the entire world....

to tell you the truth, I've been very disappointed with ALL of the Hp movies so far... so many things have been left out. In fact, i didn't even go see the last one in a theater.

I liked them, but not nearly as much as the books. The 3rd was better though, a different director. But the fourth will probably make me go home and cry. :rolleyes:

No, I highly doubt that. Going from PG to R? That's like making the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory rated X for mild-midget-situations. That makes no sense.
PG-13, I could see that. But then they'd lose their younger viewers. But then again...there is a limb that gets hocked off....
