Did anyone get the new book yet? I don't really like Harry Potter to tell you the truth. Mainly because it's main stream and no matter how hard I try I can't get into anything people talk about non-stop. Anyway, who got it and how was it? ._. Of if you haven't read it, how was the movie? Most of my friends said the movie was terrible. ^^ Potter Puppet Pals (The Mysterious Ticking Noise) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tx1XIm6q4r4&mode=related&search=

yeah, i saw it. And read it. I'm a Harry Potter maniac to tell you the truth.. XD
I finished the book in 3 days. XD
You shouldn't be discouraged to read a book just because other people talk about it too much. Have you read the books? if so, how far? It's a great book actually.
The movie was great, in my opinon. but my other friends say it wasn't so great.

I did start reading the first book a long time ago and got bored after about a hundred and fifty pages. Then there are the bits and pieces from about every book that my sister showed me, but it still doesn't interest me much.
Then it's also the way people talk about it. It's not about what they think will happen in the next book but rather what kind of relationship each character should have with another, and who they want to die. Then my friend spoke to me about what happened at the end of the book, don't worry I won't spoil it, all I have to say is that it didn't want to make me read it any more than I did before.

I really enjoy reading, so I knew eventually I would get around to the HP fandom. I did. I haven't looked back sense. The last book is wonderfully crafted, if a bit sad at times.

I liked reading the 7th book. I thought it tied some loose ends up very nicely.

Yes, it was tied nicely together. The last book that is. It was a well crafted piece of literature.

Damn, some one beat me to making this thread. xd
I read the book in a matter of less than a 5 hours, damn for once I wish I had not taken speed reading lesson back at uni. 3nodding
I really like how she tied things from all the other books.
J.K.Rowling is F%!&# crazy!

Only *5* hours Moon Master? Man... I like to savor my books. Though I wouldn't mind a speed reading course to lighten the load of some of the other things that need to get read... xd

I would think so. So much editing, so little time.

How would you catch the errors though? I mean, isn't speed reading all about only catching certain words? question
