My cousin refused to read the book when she'd heard he died. She did not wanna read it even when I shoved the book to her face, pressed it really hard on her while handcuffing and yelling, "read the damn thing! read it!" but she still said no. *Sigh* Some people are just too disobedient :P .nightingale wrote: Hi,
I'm a new comer in this discusion
Well, I've read this part after wating for a long time :)
Yeah, it's so wonderful!!! I can't find out any word to show my thought. :D
But I am also sad when Mr. Dumbledore died, and Hogwarts school has been closing. :( :( :(
She's just won the British award for greastest writer or something like that. It seems like it's a pretty big achievement for her. 8)nightingale wrote:What can I say about J.K.Rowling, the author? She imagines so well, we were keen on reading Harry Potter , forgetting the time :D
Actually, I don't want him to die, though. In fact, I don't any of them die. I wanted the whole thing to be a dream or a kid's fantasies. If this idea is too 'unrealistic', then I'd like Voldermort to change. You know, he'd become the good guy because Harry finally broke him down. They're different in spirits, but they share the similarities of life. And like any Asian movies we see about those stupid good girls who are too good that they don't seem to get mad at the evildoers. "Forgive, forgive, forgive" they always say. Gosh, they make me sick! On the other hand, it sounds pretty nice. 8)nightingale wrote:Now, I'm wating for the last one. I believe Lord Voldermort has to die because in the fight between good and evil, good be always the winner!!

Oh gosh, you're making me blush, and it's a good thing. I normally don't feel ashamed or embarrassed . And I've been busy, so it's hard for me to participate here. I saw this message last week, but I didn't have enough time to answer. Now I can since I'm not feeling sleepy right now.Hardi wrote:I'm so deeply beloved to lenny.. think that all nuts are lenny. Actually where lenny is? Closed into nutshause?
Oh yeah, I'm gonna be near to the nut house, actually . I will work in the same place with 14 men as my coworkers. Talking about too many men here! My supervisor has warned me that there will be a lot of sex talk and cussing. Let's see how nutty it will be. Right now, it seems like there are plenty of nuts to me.

Why do I like it? Well, it's easy to understand. It's still good and interesting even though the author doesn't use all the big words. It fits for all ages. It has nice plot, good imagination, love, friendship, good and evil battles, discrimination, slavery, etc.
I can't believe the book coming out next year will be the last one.

Harry Potter
Hi,fellas!
Do you like reading story? Say, if only some of you were not reading story lovers, have you ever read Harry Potter? I’m sure almost you all have. Yeah, it’s really a wonderful story I have read up to now. It has given me great bravery, optimission, and spirit I’ve never got before-above all my efforts- to face life with all minds, no matter how hard it is.
Knowing the fact that his life is just like a stone throw to the death, moreover while facing his enemy, Lord Voldemort, he never ran back frightenedly. On the other hand, Harry optimistically fought though there may be only little chance left.
He has too great responsibility as a very young teenager to solve witch world’s problem. Furthermore, he has been suffered many times since he was baby. I can’t figure out how he faced those horrible moments.
Getting uncountable experiences, lessons, and wise words from that story, I appreciate the author so much, J.K. Rowling. She motivates me to move on and never give up along my life.
Well, friends! Now, tell me what you got and you felt after experiencing a lot of wonderful heart breathing situations with Harry Potter!

I was told there are spiders in the second movie. I have arachnophobia, so I decided I wouldn't read the book because then I would want to watch the movie and I just can't stand those creaturesliandcy wrote:

i've read the Harry Potter books and i've watched the first 3 movies.
they are fine books... the only thing which annoyed me in the 6 books i've read was that i knew Harry will survive till the last book... so it was somehow knowing the end of the first 6 published book...
but i liked the kind of suspect in the story and also the way secret things were revealed in the end.
waiting for the 7th book... can't guess if Harry will survie this time or no... gotta wait

yeah Dixie... there are spiders in the second book and movie... i hate spiders and i'm scared of them too(i sometimes wonder why i'm afraid of such small creatures, though... but the spiders in the movie are not small at all!)... i read the book with no problem but for the movie, except for the first time i watched it, i try to look to some other thing when the spiders are coming down over Harry & RonDixie wrote:I was told there are spiders in the second movie.

Hi
I'm new here, but this theme calls my attention. I love all the books of Harry Potter .
I see the films, but it doesn't equals, the book always is better than the film.
But well, now i am reading "Narnia".
I recommend those books, all of them (like 11).
There are very similar of Harry Potter, but at the same time....very different...
:D

I love HP so much, for it's always been my dream since I was a little kid. The magic world: flying, using magics, fighting the evils, etc. I still have some dreams of flying at night in me. That's why it always gives me a good feeling when I read the books. As a result, I tend to re-read it when I'm in a bad mood.(my own psychological therapy session).Tora wrote:I quited reading on #4 and watching on #3... you inspire me with your excitement to make and effort and give my brain a rest from all that moody literature I read and plunge into magic harry

Hmmm, I dont like the idea of harry being kill in his last story...I must say that Im an avid fun of harry potter. I have a collection of all the books(except for the last) and DVD copy of the movies. Though its more fun reading... Its great to have books for the kids like HP series. Actually I think its not just for kids, adults also can relate to it...i've also watched Narnia and Im interested in reading the book also.Right now Im waiting for the last book to be release in my country and Im sure it will be selling like hotcakes

Hehehehe I know she shouldn't kill him, but I wanted him to be killed. I don't want her work to be continued by some other lame authors. I mean, get your own imagination, for crying out loud.
My cousins and I have been really excited to wait for book 7th in July. I'm kinda sad that I won't be able to buy the book in the night it comes out. On the other hand, I'll have my cousin's wedding that day to cheer me up.

whoever wants to get harry potter novelscan contact me on my messenger : *******.fr
for my point of view, I think that harry potter is the best novel I ever read i my life. I read all books now and I'm waiting for the HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HOLLOWS last novel by J.K.Rowling. I keep on advising everyone to profit from it. I also like the movies except the third one. It went absolutely out of the book story. well, don't forget to email me if you want the books.

Well I think that you are right, but I still don't want Harry to be killed....but that's a good reason why the author has to kill him.
I want to have that book in my hands and see what happens at the end.... :D

Harry Potter novels AND vocabulary....PLEASE HELP ME?
Hi, I am not an English speaking native and I thought I could improve my vocabulary by reading the Harry Potter novels. What do you think? I want to improve my understanding of English by reading the Harry Potter novels. Will the words used in those books be helpful?

Re: Harry Potter novels AND vocabulary....PLEASE HELP ME?
reading any kind of book in English is a great idea. It will definitely improve your understanding and enrich your vocabulary. That's how I always feel after having read something in English ;) I think the potter books are good because you can get a lot of everyday British English in it :)pharmart wrote:Hi, I am not an English speaking native and I thought I could improve my vocabulary by reading the Harry Potter novels.

Harry Potter is a good novel.I like Harry Potter so much. It has a lot of magic.It is risky and it takes me to discover many exciting places. It shows me a lot of mithological animal.
HARRY POTTER IS REALLY EXCITED AND ATTRACTIVE.

It's so good to be able not to be grown up by mentally. I have read all potter's books, except last one. I will wait until they translate it and someone buy it that I can borrow it to read. It's no point to me to buy that book. If I could have kids my self, it would be different I could buy it to them.

The first book was the best one.. next ones can hardly be good as first. Because they are continues of the first one, they stay always: second, third and.. etc. But movie was only first one that was good. next ones I even did not watch.Dixie wrote:That's what I used to think until somebody convinced me to read the first book.
