In anticipation of the release on Saturday, we might as well have a thread for it now. I'm looking forward to it, but unfortunately my Girlfriend has dibs on first-read (even though I paid for it!) so I won't actually get to read it until Monday at the earliest. I'm certainly looking forward to seeing how Rowling develops the storylines and if this book will continue the darkening of tone that has happened for the past two books. |

If you are under 15 you can get it for £5 from Kwik Save. I'm looking forward to it. Hope it's a bit less rambling than the fifth book, and more structured like GOF. |

aren't you two almost 30? i thought this was kiddies book? |
||||||||
|

Yavo likes kids a bit to much. ewwwwww. kidding. |
||||||||

1 - I am 26, wash your mouth out. 2 - Yes, only infants read Potter, this is true cause I read it on Wikipaedophile. |
||||||||
|

:D |

You're unfit to moderate, scum. Yavo, I know what you mean about No. 5 rambling - but I still enjoyed it immensely :] |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Oh shit, me too. JKR's like King in that the story just envelopes you. I hardly recognise it as "bad" writing as I'm just enjoying what's going on. I think for this one I'll abandon my customary SAW II listening and head down the beach with a quarter and some beers. |
||||||||

that's why i leave that to others :) |

May I add I watched POA again last night. That kid has got to go. You know who I mean. He's fucking useless. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Oh yeah - he is a terrible actor -- but then, Emily Watson is hardly the world's best, although she does LOOK the part |
||||||||
|
|

i would have loved to have popped that cherry but something tells me she knows her way about a cock now. shame. anyway, harry potter is just another shite franchise now. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

I ignore the rest of it - I enjoy the books - the last two especially. |
||||||||
|
|

Looking forward to it. To my girlfriends distress the copy I ordered for her is being delivered here with mind and I'm at Glade so she has to wait till Monday, mwahahaha! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
they only made the Children's book chart here in Britain because the first few Harry Potter books stayed at the top of the book chart (there was only one official one then) for so long, JK had many envious "adult-book" writers. |
||||||||

|

"I'm looking forward to it. Hope it's a bit less rambling than the fifth book, and more structured like GOF." Yeah, the 5th one was suprisingly horrible. Not as good as the climactic events of the first four. Hopefully this 6th release from Rowling will be much more enjoyable. |

I can't flippin' wait. Although I cant afford it, I think I might steal it or something....... |
||||||||

Well, I drove my girlfriend 22 miles to Tesco to get our first copy -- I flicked through it (FOOL!) and found out something VERY VERY major which kind of blows. I won't give any of it away because I'm not a total cunt, but I felt like shouting it out to all the other people scampering out of the place with their copies. |

Harry Potter and the Half-Baked Potato. Harry finds a potato and attempts to make chips from it, but only half-bakes it instead of frying and therefore fails in his quest. He's shit at chips. |

i'll prrobably wait my whole life to rread this book. what puts me off arre the idiots waiting in line at 12 o'clock at night to buy it. then rrunning thrrough the doorr like a lion is afterr them when they'rre opened. lets be fairr it's too late to rread the book anyway by the time you get home etc... waiting 'til the morrning won't you. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
also those fucking mongaloids in the wizards costumes, something not right about that, i doubt i will ever read a harry potter book, it might even be a good book, but oh well. |
||||||||
|
|

|

Then why are you judging its fans - it's certainly an extremely detailed alternative society that Rowling has created, and why shouldn't the children [and even some adults] enjoy it so much that they feel like dressing up a little to celebrate its release? It's a way of identifying with it, so let them alone won't you? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i am not judging the fans, i am judging the gimmicks to cash in on the fans. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It is the fans who decide to dress up in costume - many of them are home-made, so who exactly is cashing in? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I should say that I'm referring solely to fans dressing up and getting the book at midnight... obviously the businesses who pedlle the extraneous Potter merchandise are cashing in - it's their business. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
thats who i am talking about, the fans are the fans, i have nothing bad to say about them |

my mom works at a bookstore and had to be at work from 12-2 am selling that dumb book. cmon people, its my mom, let her sleep, aight!? |
||||||||

I bought my copy from a store which is open all night anyway, and where you can check your goods out yoruself. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
she looks nice :P |
||||||||
|
|

i still dont understand how grown people could get so excited over a childrens book. do you guys get this excited over Hardy Boys Series too? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
(Laurel and) Hardy was big Thomas Hardy was clever the Hardy boys are not big and they're not clever |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the hardy boys were badly written, thinly plotted and didn't have multiple plot-lines developing over a series of books. They were also not very warm-hearted - I used to have a collection of them number 40-50 and I can safely say that the Harry Potter series is far superior to The HArdy Boys in every respect. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Obviously a franchise, I mean, a work of literature such as the Pooter series, tales concerning a public school boy wizard, who overcomes things such as being an orphan and wearing glasses, tales which transcend their fantasy grounding and address all manner of relevant issues such as, is the girl in the film too young to fancy, what a fucking shame Richard Harris will be remmebered by a load of fucking spunkwarts as the head wizard from the shit Poofter film and not for any of his other roles, is paganism acceptable, etc, appeals to people of all walks of life. All walks of life however walks of life limited to those that involve being a slack minded fucking cunt swipe who would hoorah any old claptrap as long as it was hyped to the fucking gills enough. |

so can you pinpoint exactly when you became an embittered dick? Or was it a gradual thing? |
||||||||

|

yea...what fag_dad said |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|

i like it very well i'm reading one now, cunts. the films are well-done so far too nice haven the imagez0rs perhaps philie-t will direct the adaptation of book 7 what a colossal disaster though i must say those chelmsfordians whoo they are an eminently heroic lot innit especially those jenkinson boys |

I read the first book on accident |

i have two words for you harry potter fans...... |

When I read Harry Potter and the Massive Pot of Ca$h |

It's funny that so many people who hate the Harry Potter books either haven't read ANY, or have only read the 1st, which IS a children's book, yet they seem to know everything there is -- they go on about things which aren't actual about the books - the films and Emily Watson etc, or the shit that's spouted in America by some irrelevant Right Wing Christian groups, while the real fans are enjoying the books themselves. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
haha :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, my heart fucking bleeds for downtrodden Harry Potter fans, are you a fucking minority group with your own rights now? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
|
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it has always disgusted me how big things such as this always, always spawn a. For examples, Pokemon spawned the even worse Digimon whilst the Crazy Frog has spawned 'Snappy das kleine Aligator' and dog_belch has spawned gay_dad. it's terrible the downward spiral that this monotonous and repetitive world is hurtling down. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what are you talking about? I was rebuffing your crap - if you hate harry potter so much why didn't you avoid this thread? how many of the books have read? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
haha, I was, in fact, thinking about that last fact |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I went into a book shop today in town, to buy some proper books, including a translation of Alain-Fournier's classic "Le Grand Meaulnes" and the shopowner said to me "We have the last Harry Potter book in if you want", I said "I haven't read the first one so... ". You know, obviously I am a cunty for having not read it, like I haven't read much Jeffery Archer, Jilly Cooper, Tom Sharpe, Helen Fielding or Danielle Steele, but, somehow, I'll learn to live with my shame. |

from marlowe (his net isent working atm and hes gone to bed so he asked me to post it for him) "Oh I see. You're obviously far too intellectual for J K Rowling. Because people who enjoy the Harry Potter series are obviously only intelligent enough to grasp the poorly written works of the other authors you've just mentioned." |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Well you're a tit, and have nothing to say and are acting just as Marlowe's mouthpiece, and Marlowe is the one hung up on being "intelligent" yet is blathering on about some over hyped children's McNovel. I'm the only voice of dissent, everyone else loves the gripping tale of a prepubescent struggling to come to terms with being in a public school, giving the loveless Robbie Coltrane another inexplicable movie role and some drama about fictional characters doing something tiresome, so just ignore me. |
