Harry Potter 7

[Warluster]

Hi all,

I got my preorder this morning, nearly finished. I'd say its the absolute best one yet!

Anyway, are you a HP fan? And what are yout theories about the ending.

And please, if you've read it, don't spoil it! :)

[HoreTore]

My gf bought the book a few hours ago, I plan to steal it when she goes to work and read the last 2 chapters(or so), so that I ind out who dies, and I can walk around smiling and teasing...

Mwhahaha

[naut]

Badly written, I read it for reputation not worth.

[sapi]

Yeah, I've read it.

Not great, but not bad.

You have to have read it, anyway

[Beirut]

My 11 year-old is killing me for this book.

"Is it ordered yet? Can we pre-order? Can we pre-order now? Have you ordered it yet because I really, realy want it so can you pre-order it now? Do you think it will be here Monday if you order it now? Have you ordered it yet? Can you order it yet? Can you order now? I reeeeeeally want it. Did I ask you if we can order it yet? Oh I hope it's here Monday if we order it now. Did you find your credit card so we can pre-order it?"

[Kekvit Irae]

Hey guys! Did you know that Snape kills Dumbledore? Golly, I wonder what it's going to be like in the seventh book!

[sapi]

Well, if you're asking, I'd be happy to tell you?

@Beirut

Judging from things over here, I sincerely doubt that there'll be supply problems and/or the need to pre-order.

Yeah that's my impression, the style of writing isn't great. But the plot is good.

[Kekvit Irae]

Nah, I'm a lurker at 4chan, so I got the entire list of the 12 confirmed deaths, plus I bought the book for 17 dollars at walmart.

[sapi]

Yeah that's my impression, the style of writing isn't great. But the plot is good.

Yeah.

What the books excel in is the atmosphere, especially for younger readers.

Minor flaws can thus easily be forgiven.

4chan, eh?

*runs

It wouldn't be the cashcow it is today if it didn't appeal to young audiences.

I read the site that had the spoilers, somewhat unwittingly.

I'm shocked! I would never have expected to find any fellow /b/tards here on the .org. That is, if you lurk on /b/?

Anyway, i have the page numbers for all the major events. I plan to give them to my friends so they can give in to temptation and ruin it for themselves, absolving me of the blame.

[Whacker]

Not a 4chan lurker, but I do occasionally browse /s/ As for the HP books, I've honestly only read part of the first one... I think.

[Kekvit Irae]

/b/ and /gif/ for the lulz
/e/, /h/, /s/, and /u/ for the needs
/f/ for the amusement

[GeneralHankerchief]

I've got to give Rowling credit for attempting to wrap everything up. Most people don't bother nowadays.

[Kekvit Irae]

Rowling hates her characters and have some weird death fetish. How else would you explain 12 deaths in one book?

[AntiochusIII]

12? Ouch. Now I'm interested.

*temporarily bans himself from 4chan and half the internets to avoid spoilers: Org moderators, my Harry Potter virginity is your charge! Be the safe haven from teh spoilers plz!*

I'll just wait for the storm to calm down then buy it, oh well. I don't like consuming entertainment in the midst of a particularly stormy hype and buzz. That tends to make it more about the hype and the buzz than about the book and the Shakespearean tragedy awaiting me.

I'm shocked! I would never have expected to find any fellow /b/tards here on the .org. That is, if you lurk on /b/?

/b/!? You mean that board with the most disturbing collection of pixellated drawings to be found on the whole internet!?

I must not say gb2/b/ I must not say gb2/b/

[Csargo]

I read 1-5 but I'm not really interested in finding out the ending.

[Caius]

I didnt read HP6 yet.

[seireikhaan]

I've read the first 6 books, and plan on getting the 7th sometime today. I'm rather interested in how its going to end.

Also,@ Kekvit Irae- wtf is that pink thing in your first post?

[Csargo]

Pokemon!

[Warluster]

When I was reading, I kept going 'Oh, there goes another one' especially the last bit, loved the ending though. That was good.

[The Spartan (Returns)]

Ah, I just watch the movies.

[seireikhaan]

Ah, I just watch the movies.

*gasp* BLASPHEMY!!! The movies are awful in comparison to the books. So much gets left out its not even funny. I realize they've got a time constraint and all, but they producers have really just done a bad job for movies 3,4, and 5.

[Motep]

eh...my preordered copy should be in the store today...but Im being lazy right now.

[GeneralHankerchief]

All right, after a selective re-read I've only got one gripe:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

How come J.K. suddenly decided that Ron could speak Parseltongue? I mean, come on.

Meh, maybe so. The one thing about the movies and the actors relative to the books (I just went back and realized I did read all of the 1st one) is that I far, far prefer the characters as portrayed by the actors, visually, vs. how J.K. describes them in her book. To me, Daniel, Rupert, and Emma will always be how I imagine Harry, Ron, and Hermoine to look. Natalia Tena will always be the person I imagine when I think of (a very hot) Tonks, not some spikey haired char in the book.

[Decker]

I only read the first 5 pages of the first book before I got bored. So does somebody mind PMing me who gets offed? And the page numbers they happen on? Thanks.

/b/.... super odd and weird yet strangely alluring....nvm.
I like the wallpaper sections and the high def areas not to mention the mechs and guns sections too(great wallpapers in those. Other than that I surf Deviant for my "artistic" needs lol.

Yeah, that did seem a bit odd. The ironic thing was that they didn't even need the basilisk fang anyway, as that mystical fire took care of the ravenclaw horcrux. I suppose there was still the need for them to have a way of destroying it, barring that odd coincidence.
