Nah. I like the genre but I can't get past it being geared for children.

I cannot wait for the last one. I was reading for the various theories people were discussing about what to expect in the book 7. I suppose they would kinda lesen the excitement and suspense but I couldnt wait.

I'll post some of the discussions here.

I dont really enjoy watching movies. If you've read you will be disappointed to see the movies IMO. Trust me.

amanamagus

but i've watched all of them

Atticus

One thing I do like about watching the movies is there's a lot of foreshadowing, don't know if there is a lot in the books or not.

The books are actually pretty good, I think. I hope that the last book ends up being good, there's nothing more dissapointing than enjoying a good series and then the last book sucks.

Quite surprised she kills Harry off 1/2 through the last book to be fair - would have thought she would milk him for a few more regardless of what she said originally about this being the last one etc.

Jokes apart, What are you guys expecting and predicting about the new Harry Potter book

amanamagus

I think Snape is Good. Dumbledore,s Dead and Harry MIGHT be a horcrux.

Sloth

I think Snape redeems himself and then dies, Dumbledore makes a back from the dead appearance, Harry and Voldemort whup on each other for a while, then Voldemort becomes completely absorbed into Harry or something like that.

I think it's too geared towards children for Harry potter to die, or at least to die in a harsh way. If he does die, I think the author will make it a good thing somehow.

I've never had the faintest interest in Harry Potter, and I'm a big fan of fantasy. I just never liked the nerdy kid turns out to be badass (insert something here) thing. It's kind of pathetic.

I have read them all and can't wait for the last one. As for the movies they are pretty decent. They leave a lot of stuff out of them and sometimes add stuff. Great series of books.

Has anyone read harry potter fan fiction on the net. Its free. I read Villian of the piece. It was about snape. It was good. Highly recommended.

Looked around on the site and during the week. When I have time I am going th read Villain of the Piece.

amanamagus
03-18-2007, 05:32 PM
Yeah man I've read villain of the piece. I think its good. Not as exciting or thrilling or fascinating as Original HP books but still worth a read.

I guess anyone who reads Harry Potter seems to be a 12 year old to you. I have friends who are engineers doctors and lawyers(doing what they do successfully) and doing well in their lives and they read Harry Potter. And its not that I JUST read Harry Potter. I read Paulo Coelho also. I dont see what you think of that.

I think 12 years old also read Dan Brown. beats me how easily you generalize.

Grow up bro. Stop going around trying to flame random people with an opinion different than yours. You can put your time to better use. As for me I thought about what you had to say but I make my decision. So you wont be hearing from me again.

Peace

Bored housewives and pseudo-intellectuals read Dan Brown... It would not surprise me if 12 year olds enjoyed his silly fodder as well.
