Harry Who?

TAPPY · 07-19-2005

OK...pm me all your spoilers !!!! I want to know how the book ends...

I love the books and the movies (hey I got an 11 year old, this is Gold to them). This is good stuff....

Rob and I took Connor to a midnight book release party at our local bookstore in Mystic, CT. It was packed with "kids" of all ages. Lots of people in costume dressed as their favorite character. They had wand making booths set up and other diversions for the "kids" in line. I have read all the books and really enjoy the series. This summer, I am going to revisit the CS Lewis series...The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe etc. They were favorites of mine a child, pre-Potter.

Ok, you HP fans.... I've got "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" sitting on my nightstand (a coworker loaned it to me AGES ago). Which one is that in the series? Any chance it's the first??

I've not read any of them either, Karen. The only thing I've read in the last coupla years (since I had to start doin' the readin'-glasses thing) is either work related (ick) or this forum! I keep gettin' books to read, though, as I really do love to. I'll just have to try them out, I guess. Hear many good things about them.

If we don't hear from you in the next days, then you're hooked...

Well then... since I have Book #1 by my side, I just might have to open it up some night and give it a go. But won't you guys miss me here????

Joana · 07-20-2005

Read all of them- saw all the movies. Loved them. Which is ironic as- throughout the first year of the hype- I was in the "anti" department, as I don't like hypes. But then I started getting curious as I wondered what this is all about. Read the first book- there you have it. Hooked.

Gotta admit I am such a dork- I read a spoilerish review of the new book (which I am getting from England in a few days), which included ALL the details. The ones who read it know what I mean......still can't wait to read it though.

MWC · 07-20-2005

Yeah, I read most of the books knowing full well what was going to happen, but they still suck you in. Give it a try!

Joana · 07-20-2005

MWC- I know. Same happened to me with #5. It's a mixture of too much curiosity when reading spoilerish articles and dorkiness in a way as well.......but I still had fun with #5.
And even when you know what happens beforehand- you still want to know the details to it.....

Andiline · 07-29-2005

Going to finish it tomorrow... (but I already looked up who is going to die....

)

I really enjoy reading Harry Potter. My daughter (age 19)and her friends still dress up and have Harry Potter Parties (everyone dresses up as one of the characters) and they play games, drink 'pumpkin juice' and generally have a great time each time a book is released.

She showed me an 'insightful' site-it is an interview with JK Rowlings (the author) by some HP fans. You should read the book before you venture there. http://www.mugglenet.com/jkrinterview.shtml

Both grand-kids[the teens] are reading the latest one. Guess I gotta get with it!

I did watch the movies with them tho,does that count??

Grand-son is still bugging me to read "The Da Vinci Code".No time--No time!

Cheesehead · 07-31-2005

I bought the first book a few years ago thinking that I could maybe get my son to actually read a whole book. After it sat that for a week untouched by my son, I picked it up and read it in one day. I was back at the book store for books 2, 3 & 4. I couldn't put them down. Finished book 6 last week, was very sad at the end. Now 2 more years to wait for the last one. Oh yes, my son finally did pick up the book, he is now as hooked as me. I also have my step daughter hooked on them as well. Oh well, there's much worse things kids could be hooked on then Harry Potter.
