Nanker Posted July 16, 2005 Posted July 16, 2005 I did, and here's a spoiler: SPOILER ALERT! SPOILER ALERT! Voldemort traded Travis to the Hogsmeade Owls for a sack full of Lucky Charms and a case of Butterbeer. Pg 69
Puhonix Posted July 17, 2005 Posted July 17, 2005 Got my ass up and out of the house long enough to drive to town and get my book. Gonna start reading tomorrow. Wanted to go back and read 5 again to review. How long until someone comes in here and starts bashing the books... the same way they bash American Idol?
jarthur31 Posted July 17, 2005 Posted July 17, 2005 Just finished books 4 and 5 a couple of days ago just refresh myself. Probably won't get this until it's out on paperback. Or I can find it cheap on E-bay.

Reads a lot better than a dozen FFS TD is God posts (though just about as long).
Fezmid Posted July 17, 2005 Posted July 17, 2005 I bought it from Amazon for my wife, and it was in the mailbox Saturday. She's reading it now. I'll wait for the movie. CW
erynthered Posted July 17, 2005 Posted July 17, 2005 Finished it last night best of the six books. 383714[/snapback] You read it all last night? So you were up all night reading this book?
stuckincincy Posted July 18, 2005 Posted July 18, 2005 How long until someone comes in here and starts bashing the books... the same way they bash American Idol? 383462[/snapback] You couldn't bash them in the same way. People actually see some sense in Potter. But - a "Let's Punch out Harry's Lights" thread could be fun...
Puhonix Posted July 18, 2005 Posted July 18, 2005 You read it all last night? So you were up all night reading this book? 383800[/snapback] Impressive, but I've seen stranger, and more dedicated. A few years back, when book 5 came out, I was still in college, and my buddy couldnt wait to get it, but didnt have the $$ for it. So he downloaded it online and stayed up most of the night reading 100 pages or so into what he believe to be the right book. Well, needless to say when we touched base the next day, his facts were off and he was very pissed when he looked through my book. If it matters, and I know it does, he cheers for the Bears.
bprulz Posted July 18, 2005 Posted July 18, 2005 yeah im sick when i get into a book i wont put it down.
Puhonix Posted July 18, 2005 Posted July 18, 2005 yeah im sick when i get into a book i wont put it down. 383887[/snapback] I love that feeling, but I dont find enough books that get me that way. The last one, I think, was Dean Koontz's Odd Thomas.

How long until someone comes in here and starts bashing the books... the same way they bash American Idol? 383462[/snapback] I loath "American Idol", and have never read (nor am I interested in reading) any "Harry Potter" book. I would never bash it though, because I find it absolutely amazing, in this day and age, that so many people can get worked up over a book! I think that is pretty cool.
