Yep! I loved it....I actually started reading it again, not because I had rushed through it, but because it's such a great read. It flows really well, that's one thing about J.K.'s work.
Did you finish it?

I'm reading the seventh book for the second time as well. I love it!!! I think it is the best of the series. What do you think?

I think I have to admit that I've been a slacker as far as the books go. I've just taken the shortcut and seen the movies!

Oh, you have got to read the books!!! You're missing, like half of the story if all you do is watch the movies! Read, read, read! You'll love them! |

The books are wonderful. There aren't very many books these days that really make you feel like you're in a completely different place. Like fullbloom said, they flow really well, and they're so humorous at times that I find myself laughing out loud! Fred and George are two of my favorite characters. That's one of the few things that I don't like about the movies: they hardly included any of Fred and George's antics and jokes!

I'm still trying to get started on the last book I bought....Eldest. (the sequel to one of my favorite dragon movies, Eragon. I should probably read it before I start another series! But I know the Harry Potter books have GOT to be good, so maybe one of these days.

I haven't had a chance to get a copy of the book yet, but I can't wait to read it! I've read all of the other 6 and autumn's right, if you only watch the movie, you're missing out on a lot! I've always been a big reader, I usually read a book, then watch the movie, that way I'm more in tune with the movie. I know more about the plot then what's being shown. Also when I read a book, if it's written with enough detail, it's like I'm actually watching it as I read it. With the last 6 books, it only took me a little less than a week to read each one, not that I'm trying to rush through it, I've just always been a fast reader.

I agree with autumn as well, you have to read the books if you want the full story. I think I've read each book about four times because I always tend to miss something little. I usually get really bored with books and can't finish them but i don't seem to have a problem staying interested with this series.

I think it is the BEST of the HP series! I think that it answered all of the questions I had. I love how J.K. made you feel like you were really there! I also have to agree with Fullbloom, J.K. just makes them flow really well. I have read it almost 4 times! I hope if you haven't read it yet you will! |

When she said it, I thought who cares it doesn't really make the story better.

I think she changed the way a lot of people will think of one of their favorite characters...(or at least mine, hehe), but it doesn't change the plot at all, so I'm not upset that she revealed it..

yeah i mean it doesn't make a difference really, but it just makes me imagine his character a little differently than i used to. He's still on of my favorite characters in the books =)

I heard that the movie version of this book will be split into two separate parts because the book is so long, but otherwise they would leave out too many crucial things.
