Omg- Harry Potter 6 is complete! (1 Viewer)

Yeah, I thought that too. It felt as though she was trying to flesh it out so the book was bigger.

So why does it make it less enjoyable? Did it start to feel too clumsy? =/

Personally, i'm one of those people that can't bear for a book to be finishing. I always want it to go on just a bit longer. So i kind of like big thick books that flesh everything out for all its worth

8 days left!!!! at work today they had a calender and everything which is counting down the days!!!

I think i might read 6 and go backwards...

I wouldn't recommend that, only because book 6 wouldn't make a lot of sense, because Rowling is integrating tid-bits from everrywhere into this book. Plus, the strong links to book 2 would mean that the experience would be greatly enhanced if you knew what went on.


And the movie doesn't cut it IMHO.

 

[glycerine]

Yeah, agreed.
James, borrow the other ones off people if you have to - I have them all i think, and 3, 4 and 5 for sure so if you need to you can borrow them off me when school goes back / trials finish.

 

[bubz :D]

definitely read it in chronological order. i read it in this order: 1, 2, 4, 3, 5... and though at the time, reading 4 before 3 didn't make that much of a difference, when i DID read 3, everything made much more sense.

also, JKR writes OoTP in a way that she assumes people have read the previous books

i'm so excited... one week to go!

Erin = setting an example in EE2 that all Fortians are following...and falling dead at the wayside in trying

Thanks But you know what? I've heard so much about what happened in the earlier books from all the hype and talk it feels lilke i've already read it lol.

 

[glycerine]

Haha thanks. Sif they are! I'm a retard at 48/50. I have a mean thought re: EE2 and stuff, but I'll PM it to you cause I'm too much of a wimp to say it in public

You may think you have - but then you actually read them and there's so many clues and small things you have to actually read in context to pick up and it makes it better. 1, 2 and 3 won't take you much time unless you're a slow reader. 4 and 5 are another story

argh its this friday and ill be in the city all day with friends. damn it. that is so dangerous. anyone who screams out who dies will personally be punched in the face by me. in 2003, i rushed home after buying the book in fear of some moron screaming out that "so and so" dies!

 

[glycerine]

It comes out on Saturday.

 

[Gibbo69er]

I'm looking forward to reading this one, my cousin ruined it for me last time and told me who died. So I'm hoping this doesn't happen this time!

Hey Glycerine, are you from the BBBA forums too?

 

[glycerine]

That'd be me

 

[Sarah168]

It comes out on Saturday.

[Sarah168]

i just hope no one ruins the plot while we're standing in line to get the book , im definatley not going to borders at 7 am just to secure a spot in the line- meh.. im going later, much later.

 

[Sarah168]

Fair point.

Would you prefer a semi-automatic or pump-action shotgun to deal with anyone who does this?

oh believe me, either of them would do....beware of sarah on saturday lol

 

[Orange Juice]

might go out and line up for a book if i find someone to go with
how much was it at borders?

 

[persephone]
