The Official Harry Potter Book Discussion

[Brice]

It just kills you a little bit that because of time zones that there are people who can get this earlier than you who won't even bother, doesn't it sj?

[sarajean]

you have no idea.

i'm heading over to the book store at 8 to get my gold wristband and take part in the festivities.

(trivia scavenger hunt! i look forward to fun AND prizes.)

[Brice]

They have no local bookstore here that I can get to for the midnight release.



I will be patiently awaiting for mine to arrive in the mail.

[sarajean]

:console:

sorry, dude.

i'm only going to barnes and noble. but the trivia should make it worthwhile.

if only i was on GST.

[sarajean]

can i just say...i <3 harry potter spoilers.

[Matt]

I'm thinking that may be sarcasm.

I have never really had a problem with them (for instance, I already know the major spoiler for HBP) but I have always enjoyed the "why" and "how" that came with it.

For the last one, I am not reading a single word about it until I am finished.

[sarajean]

no, that wasn't sarcasm. hp is totally different than the dark tower.

that i was pissed about. now i'm actively seeking them out.

:hide:

[Matt]

ah, I just new you weren't high on spoilers. Had no idea this would be different.

Its funny, I never had a problem but do on in this case.

[sarajean]

i'm too excited to care.

gimme!

[Nerak]

So, I thought the movie was good. I'm glad I read the books first..

[Darkthoughts]

I saw it last night and would only say it was so-so. Missed out too much important stuff and totally fabricated too many things.

I hope they get Cuaron back as director for HBP.

I agree. No quidditch? No prefects? No expounding on the OWLs? No career counseling with McGonagall? And the little fun things that I loved from the book seemed to be almost all left out.

I did love the fight at the end between Voldy and Dumby though. Very well done. Even though there was some fabrications there, I thought it fit well with the movie.

[Darkthoughts]

Yeah, that was cool! The other thing I did enjoy was Daniel Radcliffe's acting, which has improved ten fold.

I also thought he was pretty hot - which disturbed me at the same time

I can agree with you on that one, even if it does make me feel like a dirty old lady.

[Darkthoughts]

Don't know about you, but I'm 33 - technically I could be his Mum!

[Hannah]

Don't know about you, but I'm 33 - technically I could be his Mum!

A very young mum though.

[Darkthoughts]

I was quite happy letching over 18 year olds until this woman moved in down the road from me - same age but she really does have an 18 year old son...shes ruined my fantasies

[Matt]

That happens to me all the time. Now that my daughter is 18, I had to move my "youngest age I can lust over" to 21

[Darkthoughts]

[sarajean]

/me had an old lady crush on sean biggerstaff...but then he became of age.

Like I said, I thought it was good. NOt great, not awesome, just good.
