[Archangel]

[Brocky]

[barebow]

$22.95 and free cap pre ordered 6 weeks ago,got it at 9.08am today,good reading so far

[The One]

I have patience... 8)

[Brocky]

A :lilangel: told me that you have just bought the second book in the series as it was to expensive at $5.00 Australian and waited until it went down to $3.00 :roll:

[CMB50]

What the hell is 'Blood prince' ? :-?

[Jason.P]

A fad .
Which will be forgotten in a week or two.
Harry bloody potter :-?

[ozther]

nah Harry's ok crusader :D

thought about buying it today, well picked it up but put it back again.... hardcovers ****e me when reading in bed, one of those things, so i'll wait for the soft cover..... why can't they have both available at the same time :-?

[Pete]

They bring out the hardcovers first so people have to fork out heaps to be able to read it. Then they bring out the soft cover when people realise they are too heavy to hold up. Thus, they sell 2 books instead of 1.

[New Tricks]

Have never actually been very excited about Harry Potter books or movies. The books are a very second rate attempt after reading stuff by Weiss and Hickman and David Eddings I am afraid. Good for kids but I can't see the attraction for myself. The mass media did a great job in building these things into something better than they actuall are just like the first 2 of the New Star Wars movies. (the 3rd roxed my sox)

I have the 1st five already - great read. I'm just not one to stand in line camping overnight for stuff like that :P

I'll give you Weis and Hickman, but Eddings? His stuff's okay, but it gets pretty repetitive after a while - I read most of it when I was younger, but I've read a lot better since - such as Harry Potter :-)

[hoyt for life 2]

Patrick Robertson writes some cool books. All about terorists stealing submarines and blowing up americans. :D

[Liam]

I finished it this afternoon, it wasn't bad. :)

[CMB50]

Dorks! :roll: :P

I have a statement to make:

SNAPE KILLS DUMBLEDORE IN BOOK SIX.

If that statement affects you in any way, you deserve to die - society will thank me.

I only did that last post because VOLDEMORT KILLED MY FATHER.

a pitty he didnt kill you to

[Archangel]

Snape kills Dumbledore? Is that before or after Voldemort says "Harry, I am your father?" and chops his hand off with his lightsaber... erm... I mean wand.

I have also noticed that the kids have turned into horny little buggers - I hope we don't have too many eight-year-olds reading this book, they might get ideas!

Kissing at 16 is fairly normal... :-?

Kissing at 16 is fairly normal... :-?

My mother told me that a kiss is something very special that you don't give to just anyone... so I won't kiss the boy I'm sleeping with until I'm good and ready!

[Archangel]

Kissing at 16 is fairly normal... :-?
I know that. It's just that they've all been pretty chaste so far - that and the fact that I can imagine a lot of 8-year-olds wondering what Harry's getting up to now :-D

you know that sort of stuff is illegal, right?

[archerybob]

book six is the best.............. so far

[Archangel]

Agreed. I was going to leave some to read on the way to uni today, but that just wasn't possible :-)

Now I've got to wait another couple of years for the next one... :-(

[StevenB]

when does the movie come out, requires less effort

[jamie]

Okay, so i deserve to die, i can't believe JK killed off Dumbledore, yeah, its set up the story line for the next book, but i just think it was silly.

And how throughout the whole book, she kept making Dumbledore's actions and everything seem out of sorts with the previous books, he went far too loopy too quickly and kept having me thinking that he was under a spell or something.

It was well written literature, but a dud story.

[recurve boy]

I can't decide if I should start reading the books. The movies so far have been pretty good if you have not been tainted by The-book-is-so-much-better syndrome.

<ducks for cover>

[archerybob]

i now refuse to talk to jamie ever again...................jamie stop being happy about it!!!!!

[Archangel]

After Goblet of Fire comes out (Christmas or so), then presumably Phoenix will be a couple of years after that, and another couple for HBP - don't hold your breath waiting!

[hoyt for life 2]

is anyone taking bets on the thickness of the 7th book. i reckon at least 8cm

[Archangel]

They're going down - Prince wasn't as long as Phoenix.

I was amused to read an old interview where she said the 4th book would be the longest though :-P

[jamie]

Happy? What are you taling about? :-? :-?

I'm unhappy that Dumbledore has been killed off! :(

[2Dogs]

Richard Harris Died last year......about time Dumbledork got wasted :wink:

True, but Michael Gambon is still alive, so Dumbledore could have too. Admittedly it's a bit reminiscent of James Bond, but hey ;-)

[Tim Cuddihy]

You bunch of pansies. Those books are written for 8 year olds. Grow up and watch movies or something

[jamie]

Actually Tim, only the first 4 were, The Order of the Phoenix and The Half Blood Prince are catalogued in public libraries as teenage (13+) items as their content is considered too mature for younger readers.

But yes, perhaps we should grow up.

[Clare Barnes]

I gave up reading Harry Potter after 2 1/2 books. I'd have thought there would have been 9 3/4 books in the series. :-? It'd have been an easy way to finish up mid-scene with a potential to re-start the series when JK Rowling was bored or running out of money (yeah right)!! :D

[2Dogs]

Ahhh Poor Tim.....he's just jealous cause he can't read :wink: :lol:

[misterskillfull]

i didn't mind the first few but the amout harry changed as a charactor in the last one (pheonix?) it realy annoyed me, might read this new one ill see how i go

speaking of authers, mark chadbourn is great. i recomend you read his stuff, its realy good.

eddings is also good

[frommy]

I have no interest whatsoever in the Harry Potter thing, though the movies are watchable.

In Sydney last Saturday they organised a HP steam train from Sydney Central to Moss Vale. All passengers in dress and the books to be given out at the appropriate time.

The Southern rail line passes by our club, and it was fabulous to see the great vintage 3801 loco travelling at speed towing the vintage carriages. :)

The image was a little spoilt by the two deisel locos unobtrusively hidden in the middle of the train however. :(

[recurve boy]

Grow up and watch movies or something

:lol: That's almost an oxymoron.

Goods books extend beyond age boundaries. For example Cat in the Hat and Yertle the Turtle. 8)

Straight through to the keeper, I think.

[Brocky]

Tim you have read more then one you are just two excited, just turn a page or two to get away from the centre fold :o :wink:

I think there's a sentence lurking amongst the spelling and grammatical errors there.
You should try reading more, it might help.

[Brocky]

:sleeping: Is that all you have got :roll:

It was just a suggestion. I thought improving your grasp of English might improve your sunny disposition.

I know, like surely the greatest wizard of all time can ward off a measly wizard like Snape without his wand.
