But I love Hogwarts. :(

I think it'd be cool if it all ended there, like a big Harry/Voldemort battle.

(hehe...Big Hairy Voldemort battle...)

Do you guys like this slime more than Star Wars or did it pass yr generation? Just wonderin' purely for culture analysis.

I like it more than Star Wars because I grew up with it more. But I do like Star Wars. I never read the books though. One of my friends read a lot of them. She was telling me about how Han and Leia's kid was named Luke, and how Chewbaca died (incidentally there was someone else to replace him named Lobaca (spelling?).)

I've read all the books from the original Star Wars trilogy and the first of the series after Jedi, but then I gave up on the books....I heard Leia goes to the dark side....Leia and Han have Jedi twins I'm pretty sure.

I started reading Harry Potter when I was 11....yeah, I think it was in the 5th grade. At that point, I was the only kid in my class reading them. Everyone made fun of me.

I was a little into Star Wars before that, but it was mainly my brother's thing. He isn't into it anymore, aside from occasionally watching the movies with me. I have a few action figures sitting on my bookshelf right here in my dorm room, hahaha, kind of a sentimental thing I guess.

Right on....I still have all my Star Wars Figures (in my C-3PO case) and a lot of them are worth 80 or 90 bucks a piece even out of the package....not that I'd ever sell them.

I don't know how a big battle would look on paper. I mean, it's sort of like Quidditch matches, you know? Not the most interesting parts of the books, that's for sure.

That reminds me of when I watched Kill Bill vol. 2 with my brother, and he was disappointed because it didn't end with a big, drawn-out fight scene. Anyway, I disagreed with him.

I wouldn't want to read about a big battle, but I do think it should come down to Voldemort, Harry, and Snape. No one else, and not too much "battling", because it's just tedious to read about. It should be something more than that.

I didn't really mean battle as in "A jet of red light flew towards Harry..." I meant a big epic scene where it all is sort of resolved then and there.
I started in 3rd grade. I didn't understand them that well, and it took me forever to read it, but I did it.

How old are you now? I think when I started reading them, the only book we had in our classroom was the first one. But I remember buying and reading the second one shortly thereafter.

When me and my brother were younger, the old lady from next door gave us this box full of original star wars toys. It had everything from jaba to trooppers, ewoks, random droids from the movies.....but being young..and boys...we smashed them all over time

15. I remember buying Sorcerer's Stone in 3rd grade at a book fair.

Whoops...

It was getting late...I needed sleep...

I don't want this thread to die.

Okay.

Who's your favorite character?

Well, Snape is always fun to read about.

I relate to Ron with fear of spiders, and Hermione with the intelligence. So some sort of Ron-Hermione mix?

Dumbledore is also fun to read about too.

That is a very tough question. Who is your favorite?

Snape. No one can top that. Ron? Pssh...

Actually, I've just remembered two characters...

It is a tossup between Snape and Fred and George.

Ah well of course! And I think the fourth movie did the twins a lot of good. They are funny in the books, and funnier in that movie.

I don't have Goblet of Fire. I really don't remember it much from the theater either.

Daniel Radcliffe should never let his hair get that long again.
And in Movie 5, it's going to be too short.
Prisoner of Azkaban = best haircut ever.

I didn't like what I saw, to be honest, hairwise for OotP.

That's because it's atrocious.
Word of advice to anyone getting a haircut soon: You can't go wrong with the PoA haircut. I hereby declare that the PoA haircut is the most attractive and flattering haircut known to mankind.

I doubt that many other people on the board will read that, other than us.

It's not even funny how many people are probably on their way to tell their barbers right now that they want a PoA haircut. And they're probably just saying "PoA" too, not the actual title. Thank you daniel.

I like the harry potter books but can't stand the movies.

I think that
Series of Unfortunate Events > Harry Potter

Aren't there like 12 of those books now? The movie was a treat tho.

12 sounds about right

I think I just saw one in border's about a month ago. It was titled "The End". Is this possible? I'm not so sure.

In that case,
My opinion > Your opinion.

For the longest time I was very anti Harry Potter, but I've since read the first two books and thought they were really good. Although I thought they were really easy and predictable (but I guess the books are supposed to grow with the readers)
I need to read the third book now, only I don't know what it's called so I'm going to have to Google.

PRISONER OF AZKABAN.

:rolleyes:
I have a freind who claims that the two are identical

Harry Potter's pretty sick. The books are great but I can't stand the movies. Really, they're trash and don't even near the character development as in the book.

Isn't this the problem with every film adaptation of a book though? And the problem with hollywood. Dolla dolla bills, lots of thrills and utter shit.

Ah, hahah thanks.

Everyone I've ever known personally who has been anti-Harry Potter has also never read Harry Potter. Coincidence? No.

Still, those people maintain that the books are "stupid." Well, was it stupid when Harry and Ron stole the flying Ford Anglia and crashed it into the Whomping Willow? Was it stupid when Lupin forgot to take his Wolfsbane potion and nearly attacked his own students? Was it stupid when Harry went off looking for Sirius in the Department of Mysteries even though he wasn't actually there? Well? Yeah, I didn't THINK so.

Why is it that as soon as I post how Lux and I are the only ones posting in the thread, the thread explodes with new posts?

YES!
