A sad and Deathly Hallow...

[BAMSS04]

So, the very last Harry Potter book is almost upon us... I am excited about that.
I am interested to hear everyones predictions about the book and to see what you are hoping is to happen.

Ok, first things first.

Who are the readers and who arn't?

Predictions?

Dreams and Hopes?


I'll wait and post mine after you all have had a few days to post.

[Antonio_Bay]

I haven’t read Half Blood, so I’m only going with what I know through the first 4 and a half books (didn’t finish Phoenix)

Harry won’t die. Ron will.

Harry hasn’t gone through 7 children books to defeat Vold, and then keel over right at the end, and Hermione is a great character, so that leaves Ron.

Yes; my means of deduction is dismal. But that’s my prediction. :p

[FanGirl]

My prediction is Harry is going to die.

My reason which you should not read unless you've read all the books:


Harry is a horocrux. The scar on his head is the same kind of scar a horocrux leaves. So in order to kill Voldy Harry will have to die. This is backed up in the prophesy because it says Harry has something that Voldy doesn't understand. Harry thinks it's love, but it is actually self sacrifice. His mother's self sacrifice is what made him toxic to Voldy. It wouldn't surprise me if Neville is the one to kill Harry in order to kill voldy thus making the prophecy about both of them all along.

Other deaths: I think Molly Weasly is going to die. She has been so worried about everyone else in her family dying that it would be unexpected and devasting. I think Hagrid might not make it either solely for the reason that if you kill someone like Hagrid it makes it seem like anyone else could die too. I'm nor ruling our Ron as a possibility because he did sacrafice himself in the chess game in book one, but I think the self scarificing theme might be more of re-inforcing my reasons for why Harry is going to die.

Um...yes, I am a geek and have thought about this way too much.

[BAMSS04]

I am going to go an the record and just say that, I disagree about Harry. I honestly don't think that she is going to kill him. I think that Lupin dies and I think that Tonks will die.

Those are the only two deaths I forsee in this book. Everyone else will live. I just cannot see anyone being able to kill Hagrid. He had like 6 people trying to curse him in OOTP and it was all for not.

I don't think that Harry is a horocrux, because Voldemort was not trying to keep harry alive when he cursed him, he used the Avada Kadavera. Plus, I thought the horocrux had to be an object, not a person. I could be wrong.

Oh, and I am in no way trying to dismiss your theory. The great part about these books is she has made it to where anything is possible.

All I know is, Harry had better become at least somewhat of a badass before the end of this series. If he isn't bad ass, I'll be al little pissed.

[FanGirl]

There is no rule that horocrux can't be a person. I didn't say Voldy intended to make him a horocrux. I think Regulus might have done something to Voldy so that instead of killing Harry it made him a horocrux. Voldy was going to make Harry's death the big kill to make his last horocrux.

[FanGirl]

Umm...You did figureout RAB is Regulus Black right? and that the locket is in Grimult place. Harry mentions in book 5 that there is a locket in a drawer he couldn't remove.

[phit_demon]

Harry Potter makes me break out in hives.

[BAMSS04]

There is no rule that horocrux can't be a person. I didn't say Voldy intended to make him a horocrux. I think Regulus might have done something to Voldy so that instead of killing Harry it made him a horocrux. Voldy was going to make Harry's death the big kill to make his last horocrux.

It has occurred to me yes that RAB was Regulus.

Well, my problem the Harry-Horocrux is that Voldemort could not stand to be inside of Harry's head longer than a few moments, then he had to go. Assuming that Harry would have to be alive for him to " take over." I imagine that it would be a serious problem. I don't see a dead rotting HP corpse being a very good horocrux. So, even if he was a horocrux, I don't think that voldy could take inhabiting him. Harry would when that battle.

I know there are no rules, for me it was just an obvious no. I mean that would be a waist of difficult magic. I could be wrong though, this is just what goes through my head.

[FanGirl]

I need that clarified. You lost me.

[BAMSS04]

SPOILERS!!!! SPOILERS!!!!!

Ok Possible movie Spoilers if you have not read the Book!!



Ok, in OOTP when Voldemort tries to possess Harry. He couldn't...It was too unbarable for him to be inside of Harry. So, if Harry is alive as a horocrux I do not think Voldemort will survive. I think just being inside of Harry would be more torture than being dead.

If Voldomort Kills Harry, he will have destroyed the horocrux in my mind because I do not think that a dead body would be a good Horocrux.

This smakes since in my mind, but then again I am a weirdo.

[FanGirl]

Which part are you talking about? When did Voldy possess Harry? It was the other way around.

[BAMSS04]

At the end of OOTP, when he was fighting Dumbledore in the lobby of the Ministry.

[FanGirl]

I guess I need to re-read that section because that doesn't ring any bells.

[BAMSS04]

End of pg. 815 thru the middle of pg.816.

Also, page 844. For Dumbledore's explination on how Voldemort can't bare to possess Harry.

( By the way, I am not trying to be an arse about it, I just went back to re-read the chapter to make sure I had read it right )

[FanGirl]

I'll look it up tonight.

Did you see on Tuesday's Colbert Report that he was complaining about not getting an iPhone. He could only get the last Harry Potter book. He opened it and said "Oh my god, Hermonie's a man!" It was awesome.

[phit_demon]

Did you see on Tuesday's Colbert Report
I've just started watchinh his show. I think I like him even more than Stewart.

[FanGirl]

Overall, I like Jon's show better. Colbert's interviewing style can get a tad annoying. Colbert is still classic though and when he starts to break up laughing about something, it's awesome. He always tries to fight it. Unlike Jon who just caves to the laughter and puts the sheet over his face. You can almost always tell with either of them when it's the first time they have seen a graphic or not.

[BAMSS04]

Damn! I missed it.

I usually watch both shows. It just so happens that I have just now started watching " The Office." I know I am a tard, and very late to the party. But I am here now, that show is damn funny. Anyway, so I started watching all the episodes this week, and just finished season three tonight.

It could just be cos he's new to me, whereas I've been watching Stewart on and off for a while now.
Colbert hooked me from the first second of the first show I saw, which was the one on the 4th.
His opening headline, "America reclaims hotdog eating crown - global reputation...restored!" made me nearly piss myself. :D

[phit_demon]

Not the right place, but since my last post was about it too....
I've been catching up on my Daily Show and Colbert Report (I had about 6 episodes of each on my hard drive I hadn't watched),
and I nearly pissed my pants from laughing so hard at this:

http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h3/phitdemon/vlcsnap-2052624.png

[BAMSS04]

Voldy as a father..... ( I picked this up on a fan site.)

Voldy: Just where in the hell do you think you're going dressed like that?!

Judy: Um... well... no where, Dad.... Just meeting some friends.

Voldy: Not dressed like that you're not! Go right back upstairs and change in to your robes!

Judy: But Daaaad, NOBODY wears robes to hang out in anymore! Haven't you seen the last two Harry Potter movies??

Voldy: WHAT DID I SAY ABOUT SAYING THAT IN MY PRESENCE?!

Judy: *sigh* Sorry... "You Know Who's" movies?

Voldy: That's right... Now I will not have my daughter running around like some filthy muggle!

Judy: UGH!! I can NOT believe this!!! Lisa's dad lets her go out like this!

Voldy: Well, I am not Lisa's father! And if I was, I would not be an insignificant mudblood like he is! He is expendable! EVERYONE IS EXPENDABLE!!!!

Judy: O my god, you talk like you're above everyone, Dad! Jeez, Grandpa was a M-U-G-G-L-E! Helllooooo?!?!?!

Voldy: AVADA KEDAVRA!!! Oh, shit. I'm sorry sweety that was a reflex. Sweety...

Mrs. Voldy: Honey, where's Judy?

Voldy: AVADA KEDAVRA!!! Shit!!!

[aislynn99]

So here's my $0.02:

First of all, it's spelled "horcrux," so drop the extra "o" people :)

I DO believe that Harry's scar is a horcrux, for several reasons. Dumbledore specifically said that Voldemort saved making horcruxes for important or significant deaths, and what could be more significant than the death of the only person who can kill him? Lilly's sacrifice made the avada cadavra rebound on Voldemort, and whatever spell Voldemort normally used to create a horcrux created the scar on Harry's forehead instead of in whatever item Voldemort intended. The piece of Voldemort's soul embedded in that scar is what connects Harry to Voldemort and lets him feel his emotions and see his actions. I think that the item Voldemort intended to use to hold the horocrux is in the rubble of Harry's original home in Godric's Hollow. By the way, don't you think it's funny that his parents lived in Godric's Hollow? As in Godric Griffindor? Maybe Harry is a descendant?

Now, remember how Dumbledore told Harry at the end of Prisoner of Azkaban that he may be very happy someday that he had saved Wormtail, because now he has created a bond with him and that Wormtail owes him? I think Wormtail will end up telling Harry how to destroy the horcrux on/in him without destroying himself to repay the debt.

I think Hagrid may die, and perhaps Lupin, and maybe Mr. Weasley or one of the other Weasley brothers. I don't think Harry, Ron, or Hermione will die, but it's also possible that the reason there will be no more books after this one is that both Harry and Voldemort die. I hope that's not true, though.

Oh, I also heard somewhere that Gideon and Fabian Prewett were Molly Weasley's brothers; Prewett being her maiden name.

What do you think?

What do you think?

I think no amount of smiley faces can negate the massive faux paux of correcting the spelling of board regulars in your first post.

Other than that... I'm just waiting for the movies to finish so I can start reading the books.

[aislynn99]

I think no amount of smiley faces can negate the massive faux paux of correcting the spelling of board regulars in your first post.


You think so? Wow, see, I really don't see a difference in whether or not someone is a regular or a newbie. So what you're saying is, if I would have repeatedly misspelled a word, and you corrected me, it would have been ok because I was a newbie, but because you're (I assume) a long time seasoned member you get to fuck up at will and I can't say anything about it? Bullcrap. What, is there some grandfather clause that if you've been a member for a certain amount of time or made a certain amount of posts that you can do no wrong on this board in the eyes of a freshmeat? What a crock.

And this one's for you: :rolleyes:

[phit_demon]

Harry Potter is a gay.
I agree.

[aislynn99]

I never said that.

But I do like your icon.

[Tootsie_Fruitsie]

I don't care what Snape has done or will do, I love that man. ;)

The first words in your first post were to correct someone's spelling. All I was saying was you could have used a little more tact. Obviously, it's something of which you completely lack. Therefore, let me put it bluntly:

http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2003-8/341287/noob.jpg

[aislynn99]

Precisely what I would have expected from some asshat who calls himself the orgasmatron.

And as up until the point of my post you had never posted on this thread, and therefore, you had never made the spelling error I referenced, that which you are so vehemently bashing me for (but only because I'm new, obviously if I would have waited a few months it would have been fine), why don't you piss off and mind your own business? I obviously wasn't even talking to you. Go download some porn, orgasmatron.

Whoah, whoah whoah! Calm the fuck down, noob. Just because I never posted in this thread doesn't mean I haven't read it and don't have an opinion. And vehemently blasting you? You have no idea what force I can bring to bear upon you if I really wanted to. But honestly? You ain't worth the effort.

And you obviously have never listened to Motörhead, so I fart in your general direction and add you to The List.

[JK]

Precisely what I would have expected from some asshat who calls himself the orgasmatron.

For the Un-Initiated and the Un-Baptised:


I am the one, Orgasmatron, the outstretched grasping hand
My image is of agony, my servants rape the land
Obsequious and arrogant, clandestine and vain
Two thousand years of misery, of torture in my name
Hypocrisy made paramount, paranoia the law
My name is called religion, sadistic, sacred whore.

I twist the truth, I rule the world, my crown is called deceit
I am the emperor of lies, you grovel at my feet
I rob you and I slaughter you, your downfall is my gain
And still you play the sycophant and revel in you pain
And all my promises are lies, all my love is hate
I am the politician, and I decide your fate

I march before a martyred world, an army for the fight
I speak of great heroic days, of victory and might
I hold a banner drenched in blood, I urge you to be brave
I lead you to your destiny, I lead you to your grave
Your bones will build my palaces, your eyes will stud my crown
For I am Mars, the god of war, and I will cut you down.


-Motörhead

Sort of makes "You Know Who" look like a pansy...

[aislynn99]

Were you trying to be cool with the Monty Python reference? You failed.

Ooh, THE LIST, I'm positively quaking in my boots. Not.

My response to you did not imply that you had not read my comment or had no opinion of it. Obviously, you had a very orgasmic opinion, didn't you? What I said was how strange it was that a person who had not made the error I corrected (yes, and in the *first* line of my post, how dare I, how rude, why don't you just string me up by my thumbs?) is the person who is upset about it. I still insist your complaint has no real merit based on the fact that, as you insist on referring to me repeatedly as "noob," the greater portion of your anger is because a *new poster* dared to make the correction, and in the *first line* of my post. First off, everyone here was a new poster at one point and I'm pretty damn sure they didn't walk around on egg shells for their first few months (ooh, you corrected my spelling, you're BANNED!), and second, who gives a crap where in the message I put it? People were posting on a subject that was of some matter of import to them, otherwise why would they bother posting about it in the first place? And they were repeatedly screwing up the word that related to what they were talking about. Big deal, I point it out and dare to put a smiley face after it before delving into my opinion on the matter. No one else seems to have their knickers in a twist about it as you do. Get over yourself, orgasmatron.

Christ, you're such a loser.

[FanGirl]

There is a certain ettiquette to posting on a message board. One of those things is to respect the members of the board. This is where we hang out and for the most part our home on the internet. You walked into our home and the first words out of your mouth was basically "You know the wallpaper doesn't match the carpet and it looks hideous. Anyway..." It was rude to start off criticizing especially when I was the one mispelling it and you clearly never read my signature.

JK merely pointed out your rudeness and continued on. He didn't call you any names or even cursed. You started cursing, however, at someone who was trying to help you by pointing out and thus helping you not make the mistake again. And actually, a lot of people when they first started here, were careful not to be rude and to respect the others on this board.

The only reason no one else yelled at you about it is because JK mentioned it. If you want everyone who found your comment rude and your continuing comments rude, I'm sure that can be arranged.

You also clearly have a thing for continually bringing up the ogasmatron and orgasm references. Is this because you perhaps have never had one? Don't worry. You're right hand will figure it out someday. :)

[phit_demon]

Christ, I'm such a loser.
I'm glad you had the guts to admit it.

blah blah blah.

Instead of what I was going to post, I'll just let stand what Fangirl stated- she has WAY more tact and nice than I do. Hit the nail right on the head...




BTW, aislynn99, Orgasmatron is capitalized. ;)

[aislynn99]

I feel bad for all of you. You all need to get a life.

[JK]

You know, aislynn99, you could have just let my response to your first post roll off your back and everything would have been peachy. You are the only one responsible for the sad, sorry escalation. As someone who was a noob at one point, I can tell you, I took my lumps for mistakes I made way back when. Everyone who frequents this little corner of cyberspace did. And we still do. But if it bothers you that much that some of us didn't take too kindly to being corrected by a noobie poster, maybe you should step back for a while and check yourself before you label us the losers.

It's just an internet forum. :rolleyes:

[BizarroPunisher]

I feel bad for all of you. You all need to get a life.

And to think, you wanted to join our group of losers. Apparently, you're too shitty of a person for even us.

[FanGirl]

You know what does having a life mean anyway and why can't it include posting on a message board? I mean Kevin Smith posts on his other board all the time and bashes people. I would say most people would think he has a life. It seems like such a condescending, dismissive and naive thing to say.

[Aaron]

Can I just say, for the record, I love this board

*hugs the forum to within an inch of it's life*

Oh and (just to be petty);
Aislynn is a made up name. There is a real name which is very similar called Aisling or even closer Aislinn but they are both Gaeilic names and there is no letter "y" in the Gaelic language.
Good night everybody!
*walks out the door waving*

[phit_demon]

I feel bad for all of you. You all need to get a life.

So you just got mass-rejected by losers. Sucks to be you.

First off, everyone here was a new poster at one point and I'm pretty damn sure they didn't walk around on egg shells for their first few months.
Well, I didn't have to walk on eggshells like everyone else did, but that was only because everyone instantly knew I was cool and accepted me for who I am.

[Aaron]

I had it quite easy when I was new, and considering my age, drunkeness and bad posts at the time I think I was pretty lucky.
But I don't think I posted enough to get on peoples nerves, and I never insulted anyone.

Keep up the good post (they make me laugh). I’ve always liked this site. Whenever I come on, even though I am only a junior member, I feel I can to you guys and gals with no worry. Even though I don’t know you all properly, you all seem cool!!! :cool:

But see, this "aislynn99" guy is a total ass wad. Why come on a forum and first thing you do is correct about someone’s spelling!!! THAT’S JUST RUDE!!! Fuck the smiley face, its still rude. You guys aren’t the loser, this pussywillow aislynn99 is!!! Think next time you post aislynn99 you knob.

Anyway, I’ve been reading and Harry Potter HBP is all right. I read The Order and it was pretty good. I'm really confused though. Because I haven’t finished HBP, I am still pondering if Snape is bad. Don’t know why I’m telling you all this, buuuut I’m bored.

Well, you kind of have to brag about that...right?

If you can't brag about being the Orgasmatron, what is this world coming too.

Lemmy is god!

Anyway, I am off to see the wizard...

[the.microwave.man]

As much as I like Harry Potter, I kinda doubt this actually is the last book. Though Rowling insists it is, I anxiously await 'Harry Potter and the Application for Night Manager at McDonalds' followed by the eagerly anticipated 'Harry Potter and The Lawyer who Helps Him File for Bankruptcy after Blowing His Cash Flow on a Starbucks franchise When There is Already a Starbucks Franchise Down the Street that the Locals like with the Nice Cashier who gives them Extra Milk Foam In Their Latees".

come on children. do you honestly think Ms. Rowling is going to bring her best selling series to a close? Take a lesson from 'Haloween'. Why make 1 mediocre movie when you can make 14 ? (Not saying that HP is mediocre). Like what is she gonna do after Harry Potter kicks the bucket? Build scultptures out of money? See which credit card company can give her the largest spending limit? I think Harry Potter will be with us for some time.

[FanGirl]

You know absolutely nothing about anything. She created a story with a beginning, middle and end. She has more money than she knows what to do with. She will makes these books and that will be it. Sure there will be an amusement park and they are going to do a book of all the deleted chapters from all the books, but as the story goes - Harry Potter will not be mass marketed it like Halloween. They aren't even in the same categories.

[the.microwave.man]

wow, cool off please? Obviously she wrote the books with the ending in mind and how she wanted the series to go. I'm just saying that she most likely will somehow try and stretch it out a bit more. There are all ready rumours circulating about it.

ps. How would you know I know nothing about anything? Because I didnt know Gordon Ramsays biography and made a speculation about the Harry Potter series? For all you know I could have a Ph.D in Physics. (though my terrible grammar probably gives it away lol :( )

Dude, she's has made literally hundreds of millions of dollars already. She doesn't need to write anymore books. She sure as hell doesn't need to lie about it, or try any publicity stunts. Though, she has said that she could make more...She wants it to end now. 5-10 years down the road she may change her mind but I don't see it happening.

[FanGirl]

Maybe it's just your signature added to all your comments, but you are just coming off as an absolute ass.

[the.microwave.man]

couldn't agree more. I wasn't saying she needs more money. I'm just remarking how when Harry Potter is over she is gonna have a hell of a hole to fill in her life. My guess (as well as many others) is she's gonna try and keep on spinning em' out.

btw. I love Harry Potter and am not trying to diss up JK Rowling or the series, I'm just saying its going to be hard imagining no more Harry Potter.

[BAMSS04]

Totally...

That is if she doesn't kill Harry in this book. BUt I gotcha...

Nothing would make me happier than to follow Harry for another 10 books.

[the.microwave.man]

Maybe it's just your signature added to all your comments, but you are just coming off as an absolute ass.

lol, think of it as a 'Im Fucking stupid and everything I write is absolutely useless and will probably piss of FanGirl, but hell what the fu** ill click post anyway!".

on a serious note, if it is offending you, Ill definitely take it down. I'm just not a big fan of Mr. Bush and any humiliating pic of him I find I'll try and exploit it.

[FanGirl]

I'm not a fan of the President, but I don't need to be seeing him flipping off a camera and holding a flag. I have family in the military. My cousin is a SeAL over there and my step-brother is in the Navy not to mention the rest of the family is mostly military. I don't like it, but that doesn't mean you don't have the right to express your opinion. You could make it a bit smaller so it's not taking up my whole screen.

[the.microwave.man]

done. no more Bush flipping you off every useless post I make. hope this lessens the asshole scale a bit?

[FanGirl]

It does and it is appreciated. Feel free to put a dumb Bush quote instead to prove the same point.

[the.microwave.man]

im afraid I'll have to mourn the passing off my last signature a while before I can just move on. *sheds tear*. (a.k.a i am wayyyyyyyyyy to lazy to google 'contented rhino' or some other thing at the moment)

yet again, sorry for offending.

[FanGirl]

Bush quotes (http://politicalhumor.about.com/library/blbushdumbquotes.htm) as an appreciative gesture.

[the.microwave.man]

lol how a discussion about Harry Potter's latest book turned into 'contented rhino's' and 'your signature makes you seem like an asshole' I'll never know. but thanks for the link! Some extremely amusing stuff! :)

So, does anyone else think that Dumbledore's brother will have a big part in the next book.

I think that Dumbledore put alot of his memories into the pensive (sp?) and I think it might lead Harry to his brother. It could be interesting.

I donno...We are 8 days out!

PHitzy...Your such a Marklar.

[phit_demon]

PHitzy...Your such a Marklar.
Kiss my Marklar! :D

[BAMSS04]

I'll put a marklar right in your marklar....Don't make this marklar get my Marklar and come down marklar and bust a marklar in your marklar.

Marklar!

So over here there has been a hefty influx of bets being placed that Harry will sacrifice himself to defeat Voldy.

Sounds good to me.

Poor Harry. Everyone's taking bets on his life. Personally I'm just happy if Snape lives. They already killed off two of my favorite characters. He had better not die.

Oh, and Antonio_Bay, I must say I adore your avatar. The Mad Hatter has always been my favorite character from that book. A true odd-ball and a great one at that.

[BAMSS04]

So, I have a theory...Well not really a theory, but more of a fact if you think about it.

We'll know if Snape is really loyal to LV the first time Harry goes after the first Horcrux. If there are not Death Eater's waiting for him, then it is safe to say that LV does not know that Harry and Dumbledore were looking for them, this means Snape did not tell him.

BTW, My geek level has reached a new high point. Borders is having a Harry Potter Party on Friday night, from like 9 until 2am. I am totally going. Not to buy the book, I am going to just see what is up with a Potter Party...Sound fun!

I buy the book at a local 24 hour Grocery Store. I'm there, buy it and gone while everyone is still in line at the book store. This is what happened with the last 2 books.

If you do not want to be spoiled, I suggest you stay away from the internet...People are getting copies of the book. I can not believe that they are going to these lenghs to find out the ending..

[FanGirl]

A friend of a friend pointed out something. A Dementor's kiss sucks your soul out. I wonder if that will come into play with the horocruxes.

[BAMSS04]

I dono, I just finished re-reading HBP and it is tough to tell where anything can go...

This week is going to take forever...

[Antonio_Bay]

and Antonio_Bay, I must say I adore your avatar.

Ma'am, you are my new best friend.

I read an advance copy of the book. When you reach the second to last chapter of the book, "Don't Stop Believeing" by Journey starts playing, then the pages of the final chapter turn black, preventing you from reading any further or gaining any closure on a series that has run for the better part of a decade. ;)

[FanGirl]

You made gatorade come out my nose. Good one.

[BAMSS04]

Nice sir!

Very nice!

[redridinghood]

hey here's the ending to the deathly hallows book: THE END ;)

[BAMSS04]

Spoiler!!!!

[BAMSS04]

Today is the day folks! In almost 12 hours time, I will be holding that book...starting my final read of Potter.

[Antonio_Bay]

Are you going to race through the book, because I'm pretty sure the media will headline the books ending in one way or the other; making it damn difficult to read the books closure without being told beforehand.

[BAMSS04]

I am...i will start on it tonight at 12:10...As soon as I get home.

... this harry potter stuff is so sad. I read the first 4 books, okay stuff i guess. These books really are not worth any of the hype they have. Books that you could read INSTEAD of Harry Potter (that aren't children's books): The Shining by Stephen King, The Stand (also) by Stephen King, The Exorcist by William Peter Blatty, House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski, or maybe Books of Blood by Clive Barker (which is an anthology of some really scary shit).

[Thinman]

I'm sure they also religiously read those Artemis Fowl books, too. I'm just saying that reading those books at all is a little sad, waiting like christians wait for Jesus for the next Potter book to come out is VERY sad.

You know what, I honestly could care less. I like the books. I went out tonight, hug out with some friends just like any other normal person, and then stopped off on the way home and bought the new book. And you know what, I would much rather kids addicted to somthing as harmless as Harry Potter than any other substance, legal or illegal, out there. You call it stupid, fine. Interesting list you have there... Oh, uhmm at least two of those authors you mentioned are addicted to Harry Potter as well.

[By-tor]

You know what, I honestly could care less. Damn straight, Bams. Sadly, I haven't read one of the HP books. I know I'd probably enjoy them, but I just haven't gotten around to it. But, just as with all likes, and dislikes....to each their own. I've got some younger friends that were at the bookstore last nite. Hell, one of the guitar players that's in a local band, we do shows with here, is in my living room right now reading the new one. Good for him. Everyone needs things like this to look forward to. It makes life a little easier to deal with. Cause you know we're all really crazy. Just some of us handle it a little better than others.

[BAMSS04]

Thakn buddy! Oh the books are amazing....none so much as this last one...Holy Hell it is good.

I thin kanyone who reads ALL the books will have to agree thay they are some of the most exciting books ever.

[Thinman]

Oh, uhmm at least two of those authors you mentioned are addicted to Harry Potter as well.
I know Stephen King is pretty big on the series. I like to think for myself, though. Mr. King is probably the most intellegent human being in the world (and he's from New England, too) but i disagree. I'm not like Pat Bateman is over Donald Trump over what King likes.

[BAMSS04]

Missed the point dude....I love Stephen King, I love the Dark Tower series. Again, just because someone likes something that you don't find appealing doesn't mean they don't read other books or are not smart. That is a very shallow mindset to go with deep waters of free thought.

[Antonio_Bay]

I read the first 4 books.
Same here. read about a quarter of the fifth book, too, but I just couldnt get into that one. Even so, I'm still really curious as to how the whole saga ends - so BAMSS; when your done reading it, let us know what happens.

Who dies??!

[BAMSS04]

Will do sir

[Thinman]

Who dies??!
Hopefully J.K. Rowling and soon.

[Aaron]

Because that would achieve something wouldn't it :rolleyes:

[Thinman]

Because that would achieve something wouldn't it :rolleyes:
No more shitty books. That's one achievement.

[Aaron]

*sigh*
She's already said it was the last.

Pay attention!

[BAMSS04]

Anyway....If you were one of those who wanted to know what happens send me a PM, I'll tell you. I don't want to post the ending on here.

[looking4answers]

Thank you, By-tor. That is so true. Well said.

[BAMSS04]

I can't wait to hear what Fanny thought of the book. Where is the sister L4A? Still recovering?

[FanGirl]

I'm back-ish. I get to go back to work tomorrow. I finished the book late last night. Is it safe to talk about it yet? Should we make a thread only for those that are done reading it?

[phit_demon]

Out of sheer boredom and idle curiousity I read TDH's epilogue on Saturday. One of my flatmate's friends had a copy.
I'm no less in the dark than I was before I read it.

[By-tor]

What's a Dumbledore?

[phit_demon]

WHAT?!!!

Fuckin' Bravo!!!

[phit_demon]

What's a Dumbledore?
I lost my shit in the best way while watching Monday's Colbert Report.
Simon Schama was his guest and he asked him, "How do you Dumbledore?"
Brilliant! :D
