AggieDave 6 #1 June 24, 2003 Is it just me or are you getting that impression too? (Harry Potter). I'm only on page 306, but if J.K. hasn't nailed down some teenage attitudes with this one.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

CornishChris 5 #3 June 24, 2003 He is a bit pent up - I think he needs to take up skydiving. He has become a character you want to grab by the shoulders, shake and yell at. Good book though.

tigra 0 #8 June 24, 2003 Nah, at some point Ron and Hermoine are getting together. Harry will probably end up with Ginny by the end of the series. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jfields 0 #9 June 24, 2003 QuoteHarry will probably end up with Ginny by the end of the series. Nope. He'll end up trapped in the forbidden forest by powerful magic and used as McGonagal's boytoy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AggieDave 6 #10 June 24, 2003 QuoteHarry will probably end up with Ginny by the end of the series.

PhillyKev 0 #11 June 24, 2003 Let me guess....it's about a precocious magical kid, his incompetent, dorky friend, and some know-it-all, pretentious bitch. I saw the first movie, that's what I got out of it, saw previews for the second and looked exactly the same. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kris 0 #12 June 24, 2003 I'm done with the new book. Wow...abso-frigging-amazing! You can tell how much she is maturing her writing style based on the age of the main characters. I would hardly call this latest installment juvenile fiction. I'm not going to give away any spoilers, but in regards to who dies, I didn't see it coming. The ending is the best ever as well.BTW, who else wants to lock Umbridge in a cage with a dragon?Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AggieDave 6 #13 June 24, 2003 Damnit, I'm all pumped to get the book done, but I don't want to finish the book, since I would then be done for the book and stuck without another new Harry Potter book for a long while. Dragon? Hell, put her in a box with a blast-ended skrewt!--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AggieDave 6 #15 June 24, 2003 I don't really care if the Potter movies aren't that good, the books are. I also don't care she's getting to be one seriously rich women, that's ok too... Know why? The books kick ass and I am very entertained by it.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freakydiver 0 #16 June 24, 2003 Right on! Never bashed your desire to reda the books though. Only wish i had come up with the nicely timed overdone idea -- (N.DG) "If all else fails – at least try and look under control." -- Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AggieDave 6 #17 June 24, 2003 Yeah, I read an article stating that she's set to become the first ever Billionaire author!
