Harry Potter
It's been a little slow in here, so does anybody read the Harry Potter series. And also, what did you think about the latest book.

Re: Harry Potter
I haven't read the latest book but really do want to.
My then 12 year old god-daughter got the first book out of her school library a few years ago for me because I was curious what all the hoo haa was about Harry Potter. It was good and one of these days I will get and read the rest of the series.

Re: Harry Potter
I haven't read any of the books. Watched all of the movies. Do the movies follow the books well?

Re: Harry Potter
The books put the movies to shame.
Of course, most books do. There's just sooo much more in the books.

Re: Harry Potter
Well, did you really expect anything else? A movie based on a book can be really good, but you can't really compare movies with books in a fair way..
I haven't read any of the books, but seen all the movies. They're not too bad, getting better as they get more grown up and darker. Not sure I'll ever get around to reading the books though, I have a lot of other things I want to read first and I don't read that much to begin with anymore

Re: Harry Potter
Trust me, it's the best to read the books and it'll take maybe 2 weeks out of your life.

Re: Harry Potter
2 weeks? I'd take at least 2 weeks *per book*, because I don't read that much each day.. I sit on the computer and/or play games when I'm not at uni And, if I'm going to read anything, I'm going to continue on the Wheel of Times series. I'm only on book 14 out of 20 (well, there are 2 Swedish books for each English one for some reason, and they are still pretty thick), and I rather finish that first before I read anything else.. but yeah, I may read them some day

Re: Harry Potter
Five and a half hours for Half-Blood Prince. Fastest time so far. How about you guys?

Re: Harry Potter
Three days with breaks, I'd say 8 to 9 hours.

Re: Harry Potter
One day with breaks. About the same as FFnut, take or give an hour. Anyone knows who's RAB? I think I do...but I'm not sure...Also, who still thinks that Snape is good? I do.

Re: Harry Potter
Harry Potter is a good book series, but no where near as good as the press describes it. I've read all except the newest one, and I don't really want to read it because of how some people go on about how its so dark and stuff happens (I won't give away what), clearly thoose people don't read Stephen King....
The Wheel of Time>Harry Potter....
