Exactly. It especially sucks if its the last book in the series.. thats really a downer.

YES! That's why I get angry at an author when they stop writing a series :mad:

o well

But if its supposed to be the last book.. and they write another one just because of fan demand.. that pisses me off too. :neutral:

But really when the last Harry Potter rolls around it will be one sad day when i hit the end.

We still have at least 2 more HP movies for sure .. and I think there's supposed to be 7 books in the series right? Apparently JK Rowling already has the series pretty much finished .. I think someone is supposed to die in the 5th book .. Hagrid is the one I think will .. cuz he only signed on to do the first 3 movies .. hmmm I dunno :freak:

7, i think, for his years at school.

i hate it when theres a great series that everyone loves, then they take advantage of that and make a bunch of quick and dirty subseries just to make maoney off of it. it totally ruins it :neutral:

i hope that never happens with harry potter.

Have you even bothered to read the books? I sure thought Harry Potter was retarded untill i read one. But if you have.. and still think its retarded then...

I agree. Don't make an opinion about Harry Potter if you haven't read the books. The movies pale in comparison to the books.

june 21st? June 21st?? JUNE 21st??? :mad:

I don't know if this is good news or bad news...My B-day is the 24th (now when i found out about 'Live' you can imagine how happy I was) anyway, I might have to wait untill then to get it! My parent have rules about buying stuff for myself before my b-day ever since a certian 'CD incident' where we got stuck with 3 of the same album... 3 WHOLE days untill I can get it!!! I could have been done it by then, everyone will know what its about and I'll still be waiting for it! NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

really REALLY bad timing...

i got the first HP book for my birthday a couple years ago, and i thought i wouldn't like it and i didn't want to read it. then i read it and i liked it :nod:

now i own all four books (actually i have two copies each of the first three...but thats another story)

I hate Harry Potter.

on a totally unrelated note, I work in a bookstore.

we've got something like 1500 reserves for Harry Potter

it's just the merch I hate, really.

some refer to it as "potter porn"

^ so true

did anyone hear about someone finding the book too early in a parking lot or something and trying to sell the first three chapters for $20,000 or something?

i think i heard that on the radio :freak:

somebody stole some copies from the factory where they were printing them and left them in a field where a man found them and promptly called up a tabloid newspaper which was still in possession of them last thing I heard - though I also think that some people did get arrested over this too.

Hey, hey...who's saying I haven't read one? After my goth friend tried convincing me that a prepubescent boy with a magic dildo, er...wand, could possibly make for an interesting read, I admit....I borrowed the first book. I read the first few chapters and officially declared it retarded. Along with Magic: The Gathering, which she also forced me to play. Now, I'm not a fantasy basher or one of those preppy stuck up bitches who has no imagination, but Harry Potter just doesn't appeal to me. There really is no need to get all defensive (read: up in my ass) about a book; especially a children's book.
