I want my $19.04 back.
:<_<:
ROFL, that books like $15.00 in Costco..
Was the book that bad??
There was ONE, count them, ONE chapter I thoroughly enjoyed. Out of 30. I couldn't get it cheap because I felt like being a dork and buying it at midnight. I spent all yesterday reading it...
Rowling has a bad habit to get her best chracters killed.
*SPOILERS SPOILERS*
*DON'T SAY I DIDN'T WARN YOU*
Dumbledore dies at the end...how dumb is that? The greastest wizard ever dies by Snape. Tonks is going out with Lupin, who is much too old for her and Harry with...Ginny? Lmao. I wish I had that big of an imagination. Plus I had to read it in English because the French version is only out October 1...:(
Oh well, I'll annoy my friends by spoling stuff to them.
Fuck you Tony. Jajajaja.
Tonks is going out with Professor Lupin? TONKS HOOK ME UP WITH SOME SPELLS!!!!
(I know there is also a Tonks in Harry Potter, do not act like all-knowing HP fans and try and correct me =.=)
Oh you asses. I DIDN'T GET THAT FAR! I'm hooked up with Lupin? Hmm... I thought I was with Mike...
I like this one more then the other five, my asshat friend had to tell me that Snape killed Dumbledore, I knew he was going to go before that though.
And here's a spell class for you. Sectumsempra = Enemys. =]
As if anyone actually scrolls past the part where the spoiler is =_=
SNAPE KILLED DUMBLEDORE
If I was Harry, I'd cut off Snapes nuts and nail them to Voldie-Poo's door as an... erm... Christmas Present?
Was it just me or was this book lacking in detail compared to the other 5 books? come on... the summer lasted like 3 pages

I actually loved the new book.... it's ending, caught me off gaurd though, hes actually not going back to Hogwarts? I can't wait to read the seventh.
I didn't even remember there was a Tonks in the 5th...must've been before I came to GBGL. Meh, it was ok. Something to pass the time at least.
I can't wait to see the movie... it's going to be spectactiluar.
The movie will probably not be for another...10 years? lol. Why do they take so long? :(:
Hm I haven't read the books, but I probably should. The movies have all been righteous. The next movie I read is the most expensive film ever made. Should be dope, the trailer looks tight.
Just a question ive been wondering, exactly how many years do they goto school?
quite a few unanswered questions so far ~_~ Is snape really 65+ years old? And who is this guy who stole the horcrux first =-o must be a pro if he could do it with one person..
Also, some speculation... When dumbledore "pleads" with Severus... I think he was telling him to kill him and not mess up a later chance to serve some good later. After all, he was saying how he was really worthless and of no consequence with Harry at the cave...
SNAPE KILL GANONDORF. FRODO IS THE HALF BLOOD PRINCE

To the first of the questions, Snape would probably be around 66, because of the fact that he would of been 16 when he was taking N.E.W.T. Potions. And I have a spectualation that the person who stole the Horcrux (SP?) first, is Regulaus Black (Or how ever it's spelled) because Voldemort killed him for betraying him, but did it ever say why? It didn't. And as for Dumbledore, I found it, very far fetched that he was pleading with Snape.

YES!! I thought that as soon as I read it.
Reading is 4 nubs.

Instead of seeing images, I often see the words "user posted image" in it's place. Off-topic, can anyone remedy this? D:
I <3 Felix.
QuoteTo the first of the questions, Snape would probably be around 66
That would mean 66 - 16 = 50 years old when lilly & james gave birth to harry? I don't think so. How do I know that? because if snape is 66, he was in the same grade as lilly & james, & I don't think they would have waited until they were 50 years old to have a baby.
so to answer the question in full? I heavily doubt snape is 65+
But, have I read the whole book? No, my girlfriend, however, told me dumbledore gets killed by snape. Therefore, the experience was not ruined by reading this topic :^_^:
QuoteIf I was Harry, I'd cut off Snapes nuts and nail them to Voldie-Poo's door as an... erm... Christmas Present?
And if
I was Harry, I'd kill all the books' charatcers, then again I would slit J.K Rowling open and eventually commit suicide by putting a heated up metal bar into my anus.
Hmm
Harry Potty was really that bad huh?
No.
If I was J.K Rowling in the cash like she was, i'd say fuck you all, i'm going to buy a car!
Now that is a good joke, someone write that down and send it to bash ;)
And buy me a car while your at it.
IMHO:
LOTR > HARRY POTTER
*sits back and waits for flaming to start*
I think I laughed about fourteen times reading this topic. I didnt even know the sixth one was out. I lost interest after the second one.
Meh, I'm a dork, I admit. I have no shame in my Harry Potter addiction.
That was the one thing about what confused me, is that Harry estimated the potions book to be 50 years old? Maybe it was just a wrong guess?
What really purturbed me about this book was that if just all seemed like fluff, there were words there, but most of it just seemed useless. And even when she did mention something important, it was never mentioned again leaving only questions for the reader.
Hopefully all of our questions will be answered in two years. >_>;
Anyone else think of this? That the last Horocrux is Harry? Because "Voldemort transferred himself into Harry that night at Godric's Hollow." Anyone else catch this? Or is it only me?
I just hope you all dont end up waiting another 2 years or whatever it is, read the last book and expcet more from the ending of the series. :ph34r:
Just like what has happened with this book? -.-

Pft if I was Harry I would get the invisibility cloak and go to the girl's locker room :unsure:
He has Ginny. o.o
QuoteHe has Ginny. o.o
But he doesn't like her red pubic hair.

Which is exactly why im boycotting the next book, whats Hogwarts gonna do without harry ? D= The next book sounds gay which is why im burning it (i managed to get done witht his book in 9 hours WOOO!)
I would of managed to get it done way sooner, but I had 2 shows getting in my way. >_>
Oh my fucking god.
Firstly: LOTR != same fucking audience as Harry potter, you can't fucking compare them.
Secondly: For all the people who feel ripped off, or feel it was a bad book, THERE'S NO FUCKING NEED TO REPEAT OR FORCE YOUR FUCKING OPINION ON US ALL.
I thought that was what the steam room was for however?
QuoteAnyone else think of this? That the last Horocrux is Harry? Because "Voldemort transferred himself into Harry that night at Godric's Hollow." Anyone else catch this? Or is it only me?
Then Voldemort would be a fucking dumbass to try and kill him. On another hand, I would like Harry to die. It would be funny if the 7th book was all EMO and Harry ends up slitting his wrists to kill Voldemort.
QuoteLOTR != same fucking audience as Harry potter, you can't fucking compare them.
With all due respect, to say this is a generalization. Yes, its true that many people read both. HOWEVER, there are definitely some die-hard harry potter fans who have never touched an LOTR book. Conversely, there are some die-hard LOTR fans who have never read a harry potter book. I happen to be one of the latter group.

I believe this is the steam room and not the general chat section, as Tweekins has pointed out. The people posting here are simply expressing their opinions. I haven't seen one poster in this thread forcing his/her opinion onto somebody else.
lol. Tony, you're a tool. Anyway, does this book really suk this bad? My cousin Nazu is blind, so I read the whole fourth one to her, and even I enjoyed it. (I'm not really a reading kind of guy) I remember eveyone talking about how kick-ass the fifth one was, and how its gay that the Black dude kicked the bucket. So I guess you were expecting better, and she pulled a softnyx on you.
Geez. I'm always the miniority. I like WC, and I like the 6th HP book. o.o
Oh silly Tonks :blink:
Well I haven't read any of the Harry Potter books, I was never interested in the giant craze, but I did see the last movie and it was good.
While everyone was reading this Harry Potter book I read "Heroes Die" by Matthew Woodring Stover instead, and that book's amazing so I'm good.
I started reading the Harry Potter books when the 3rd BOOK came out. Im old skool, yo. 8-)
Dumbledore = win :(: Watch him come back in the 7th book and pizzown everybody.
VERY FUNNY...
theres a video on the net of some kids driving by a store at midnight with a megaphone and they spoil the ending to everyone in line...it is so fucking funny...ill try to find a link...
Not really, I was pissed at my friend for spoiling the ending. Hell my friends have a bad habit of spoiling the ending to every book I've read so far (and thats alot), because most of them have read them before... and they spoil it.
If you're wondering, I can tell you why some of you think the book sucked (without any knowledge of Harry Potter, I haven't read a single one).
Ready? OK.... Go!
J.K. Rowling, stunned by the immediate success of her books, is thrust against the wall. The audiences are demanding new Harry Potter, but J.K. isn't close to being ready. She has to pump out these books as fast as artistically possible to satisfry the cravings of the raving fans. This is both why the most recent book was shorter than expected, and, according to some of you, crappier than expected. It may also be why the series is ending with the next book (I have no idea if it was planned long ago to only have 7 books or not, so fuck off if it was).
Ta-da! Remember I have no idea what I'm talking about... just what's come in to my head in the last minute and a half.
i <3 harry potter and teh half blood prince.
woot for tonks, me, and whoever else liked it. my money, or well, my MOM'S money, was well spent.
xD
EDIT:
PROFESSOR SNAPE KILLS DUMBLEDORE IN THE END.
SNAPE IS TEH HALF BLOOD PRINCE.
THE REASON VOLDEMORT HAS BEEN LIVING IS BECAUSE OF THESE SO CALLED 'HORCRUXES' WHICH ARE PIECES OF HIS SOUL.
MALFOY CORNERED DUMBLEDORE, BUT SNAPE KILLED HIM, ALTHOUGH MALFOY LED MULTIPLE DEATH EATERS IN TO THE CASTLE TO WREAK HAVOC.
:)
Hmmm another probably unanswerable question... Why was Ollivander abducted? Maybe voldemort needs a new wand? o_o
Ollivander liked butt secks from Voldie.
Actually if you think about it, Ollivander was the 'finest' wand maker, so taking him from the light, would put them at a dissadvantage.
I actually think that ollivander was taken by voldemort and just used to make wands for his useless death eaters.
heh, this topic has more turned in to a general chat than a steam room :O
What's Harry Potter? o.O
Uh dude, you dont know who Harry Potter is? Its a famous book that got themselves millions of dollars and movies.
What's sarcasm?
Take Felix and find out!

Firstly: It doesn't matter if there are people who have read one & not the other. I my self have read both, & the only almost similar thing is that they have magic. With LOTR's serious nature, no one can hardly compare it to harry potter, even if its a generalization.
& Secondly, Exactly, its the steam room, not the whinging room. the idea is that you let out ALL of your steam in one post.
For every one saying does it really suck that much? Read it & find out, there is obviously a wide range of opinions shown here.

My mid-50s aunt reads Harry Potter.
Harry Potter + :druggie: = :kiwiyay:
I only went to the first 2 movies.
Just for the free popcorn, cola and my sister was paying for it.
The book was just soooooooo depressing.
Why didn't Harry stay with Ginny? Like omg. :<_<:
QuoteWhy didn't Harry stay with Ginny? Like omg. :<_<:
Redheads rule.
QuoteWhy didn't Harry stay with Ginny? Like omg.
Didn't he? It ends with Ginny telling Harry she wants to stay with him. The end was so cliché. >.>
Personally, I wanna see Harry die in the next book. I think it would be pretty funny. Rowling has an habit of killing off her good characters anyway, why not kill the hero?
QuoteRedheads rule.
My ex was brown, and so is gonna be my future gf. I love brown hair. Therefore I disagree entirely.
I have brown hair and green eyes >.> I entirely blame my mixed German/Irish blood for that. Along with the French blood that gave me blue eyes when I was young.
Good game.
I was just joking around. There are NO good-lookin redheads at my school. It's depressing.
I dont really give a damn about something as unimportant as hair color though.
