Topic: Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince!

[pfellah]

I enjoyed it, but I feel bad for my wife. She was in line dropping our boy Simon off at camp, and telling him about how "we'll read it when you get back" and the stupid (expletive) in line behind her spoiled the big secret (the one mentioned in the above clip). You know... if you're gonna listen to someone else's conversation, listen to the whole thing and get the part about NOT HAVING READ IT YET!!!!! Grrrrr....

i don't really read it i enjoy the movies better but i would be able to read the book.

I read all of the books, but I like the 4th one better than this one. It seemed dumb to me that Dumbledore died, and I also thought that it ended a little weird.

i own it, but i haven't read it yet

One other thing that I don't like about JK Rowling's books is that they are too easy to read. I read really fast anyways, so these books don't usually last any longer than a day.

I really enjoyed the 6th book, though 4th is my absolute favorite.

Gah it was 2005 when this book came out?  Doesn't seem that long ago but I guess it is.

Anywho, the movie is actually gonna be released in two parts, so we're gonna have Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince 1 and Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince 2.  They say it's because it would be too long otherwise but given the fact that they managed with the 5th book, and the precedent set by Return of the King, I'm thinking it's just because they want us to have to pay for 2 different movies.

Daniel Radcliff will be 30 by the time we finish Deathly Hollows.

Funniest (with the exception of certain less appropriate titles) and/or best HP fanfic ever? I'm thinking yes. Basically instead of being raised by crazy psycho abusive adoptive parents, the kid is raised by crazy psycho scientist/PhD/Philosopher adoptive parents.

Yeah, huge bump, I know, but this seems to be the de facto Harry Potter thread, so..

Ha, I've been reading this for awhile.  The best magic is SCIENCE magic.
