Forced to read Harry Potter!

Recommended Posts

Okay, so I wasn't forced, I went of my own free will.

I've been avoiding reading the Harry Potter series and/or seeing the Harry Potter movies. Didn't want to buy into the hype, can't ever be one of the masses, y'know? And then, on the way to Eloy last week, someone started to play the books on tape version of the first book. And I got sucked in.

I'd bought the second book within 24 hours of returning from Eloy. I'd have bought the third book today but the used bookstore was closed and I'm currently too cheap/broke to buy it new.

So when is the newest one due? I need to know how long I have to get and read the other ones so I can be ready to buy and read the new one the day it's released. :D

Its a good story huh?

I tried to do the same thing, fight off Harry Potter. I made it until the 4th book came out, it was around that time that the first movie came out on video and a roommate rented it. I grudgenly watched the movie (I was bored) and became interested. 3 days later I had made 4 seperate trips to Barnes and Nobles and had read those 4 books (and was left twitching on my couch pissed off the 5th book wasn't out yet).

Now I'm getting excited about the 6th book, I'm going to reread the series (or atleast the last couple of books) so I'm up to speed on the story again for the next installment.:)
Never would have guessed a 24yr old redneck was motivated for Harry Potter's story, but hell, I can't help it, its a fun read.

I treid to read one once. Had a girlfriend that gave me the book. I got about 4 pages into it and couldn't stand it anymore. :D



You should try washing off the hoof prints - it makes it easier to read.

I have them sitting on my shelf. Which ones do you want?



The books or your children?

Dave, don't buy any kids. You can make your own and save a ton of dough. I'll PM you with the details.:P



I don't care who you are - that, right there, was funny!

I too have read them all, and am slightly embarassed to admit it. I was sick for about a week when I was in the Army and was also monlighting as a book store manager, so i went and borrowed the first one, read it and called the store and had them bring the others to me right away. Spent the week in bed (doctor's orders) reading the series. It is the guilty pleasure of many adults.

HILARIOUS!!

But...

Save dough by having kids instead of buying? Maybe intial cost sure....;)

Anyway, I have read all the Harry Potter available and amd not ashamed to admit it. I don't care about the 'this is not quality writing' crap; the stories are just damn good.
Why yes, my license number is a palindrome. Thank you for noticing.
