We've got all the books because my little brother reads them.

I know its heresy, but I'm just going to watch the films whilst I read more challenging and deeper literature.

Harry was a Jerk in the fourth book, and not too much better in the Fifth, but I held out for him and it got better!

Well honestly the books are indeed nothing that great, but I'm more interested in what's going to happen.
Like sc2 kinda.
I know it's probably going to be only decent, but I'vegot such a personal hype in me about the thing, that I just have to try it.
Or read the book in this case.

Reborn, I should smack you for giving that away. Use spoilers next time or I'll use a bat-bogey hex on you.

*adds spoilers*

You make spoilers same way you do other tags. Just put spoiler in brackets at the beginning, then /spoiler in brackets at the end.

And I don't think I missed anyone who died in this book. Are you speaking of a previous one?

Oh yes, the greatest death of all...

Spoiler:
Harry Potter... and his rebirth!...errr... resurrection... so he could have children with Ginny at the end of the book.


And, no, I haven't read the book yet! Might get a hold of a copy tomorrow at work.

Ah okay... I didn't count it 'cause he walked away still breathing.


Stop reading the spoilers if you haven't read it! Although I guess all we've been talking about is who's dead and who isn't.

The book's only been out a week. We should be nice and let others have a chance to read it... not everyone lined up at midnight or pre-ordered months in advance.

Then again, neither did I.

Ive quite enjoyed reading the spoilers because that way I dont have to actually go to the effort of reading the book to know what everyone is on about.

Default Re: Open Letter to Harry Potter

To repeat myself from somewhere else:
Spoiler:
Even within the confines of the world she created Rowling's last book was unrealistic. At the end of the previous book we saw Harry getting the crap beaten out of him by Snape because Harry never put the effort in to learn magic without vocalising. Yet somehow Harry manages to best dark wizards with years of experience, break into the Ministry of Magic, and all without just having someone do the same as Snape did and beat him up. The ending with Voldermort was even more ridiculous, especially considering that he was meant to be a better wizard than Snape, and not in the funny tickling charm way, more in the 'yeah, Harry should have died in about a million ways' way. He should never even have been able to raise his wand against Voldermort.
I finished the book, but it didn't really make a whole lot of sense, it seemed more like a hurried rush to tie up things that Rowling had let get completely out of control.

Resist the urge to click. Once you start down the clicky path, forever will it dominate your destiny...

(sorry, couldn't resist.)

I found it wise to avoid any threads with "Harry Potter" in the subject line altogether. Then again, even random comments on youtube have spoilers here and there.
