Am I the only nerd that is looking forward to the new Harry Potter book? Am I?

xlogger · 03-15-2005, 11:44 AM

Book? Dude, those books are huge. How long does it take you to read that?

JFK · 03-15-2005, 11:45 AM

I think you are . I rather just see the movie

xclusive · 03-15-2005, 11:46 AM

I am looking forward to it and it doesn't take long to read that's what's so great about them they have a nice flow to them

SykkBoy · 03-15-2005, 11:47 AM

I, too, am a Harry Potter nerd and eagerly awaiting the new book
while a lot of the ideas JK uses in her books are "borrowed" from other fanatasy sources, she's a damn good storyteller and I like how she doesn't overly describe things. She gives enough description for you to get an idea in your head, but leaves it vague enough for your mind to fill in the blanks.

Babaganoosh · 03-15-2005, 11:47 AM

No, I'm looking forward to it too. The last one took me 5 days to get through and that was reading almost constantly. It's hard to work, post on GFY and read Harry Potter all at the same time but I'll do it.

Not long because they are so captivating. Each book gets deaper and darker as the kids get older and their magic gets more intense. Great stuff.

naughty_weena · 03-15-2005, 11:49 AM

i don't read Harry Potter books. it's too kiddie for me.

boneprone · 03-15-2005, 11:51 AM

I heard the book has more kinky sexual stuff in it than the movie..

There's some part in the new book, where they are in that all so familar stage in their lives where the kids are all together in a "Ill show you mine if you show me your's" standoff..

Intresting.

boneprone · 03-15-2005, 11:51 AM

Oh wait.. Wrong book..

It's hardly "kiddie." I'll bet you've never even cracked the spine on a Harry Potter book, have you? I thought the same when I read the first one but I still gave it a shot and loved it. I went and picked up the last book at its midnight release party. A good majority of the people in line were adults and buying it for themselves.

KMR Stitch · 03-15-2005, 11:53 AM

I want to get it =)

MeganS · 03-15-2005, 11:56 AM

After all the hype i finally picked up the first one from a used book store and figured i'll just see what all the hype was about ... instantly addicted, couldn't put it down. They are not children's books which surprised me. I love all the HP books and they get better and better each book! I am also a nerd waiting for the newest HP book

HpicAnn · 03-15-2005, 11:56 AM

No you're not the only one i had read all of them except for this last one that i wish to buy!!

brand0n · 03-15-2005, 11:58 AM

book? thats one of those things that dont use a screen to transfer text right?

i thought we got rid of all those?

loverboy · 03-15-2005, 11:58 AM

Finished the 3rd book (Goblet of Fire) in less than 2 weeks.
I know this book is for kids but after reading the book, im now
a certified Potter fan. Can't wait for the next installment.

mindoza · 03-15-2005, 12:00 PM

Im only on book 4 ,but it will not stop me from buying the new one as soon as it comes out!!!

undermyspell · 03-15-2005, 12:05 PM

nope.. you aren't alone.. I'll buy it the minute it hits the stands and lock myself in my room for two days while I read it. Then i'll hand it over to the kids and kick myself in the ass for reading it so fast and having to wait forever for the next HP movie or book to be released

mortenb · 03-15-2005, 12:28 PM

Preordered from Amazon. You are right, Rowling's writing is very captivating.

Peaches · 03-15-2005, 12:34 PM

I've already placed my order for 3 of them

Rosie · 03-15-2005, 12:52 PM

I can't wait - I just hope my members are cool with no updates whilst I'm reading it

Thanks. I'll email you my mailing address.

I love the whole HP series. The book is still so much better than the movies, so for those who liked the movie, you'll definitely love the book. Has anyone here seen the movie and have not even read the book?
Anyway, part 6 is due to come out here on the 16th of July...4 whole months. Is it coming out earlier anywhere else? I want one right away!

The 3rd book is not the Prisoner of Azkaban ?

Cassie · 03-16-2005, 08:51 AM

i heard the movies were awesome. as i heard the lotr trilogy is great as well. i just don't have patience to sit through either one.

Yup, excellent movies. My kid love them to.

For LOTR , hopefully one day someone will join the 3 movies together, and compile a 3 hours DVD version only from this. Many shit can be removed , especially the tree walking in the forest for 1 hour .. lol

MiaVega · 03-16-2005, 09:54 AM

you're obviously not alone, I'm looking forward to it, like some other people have posted, never read them until someone gave me the first book set to read, finished them in no time, her last book I finished in less than 2 weeks. It's not often you find good authors or books. Wally Lamb's book are incredible. "This Much I Know Is True" is a great book for anyone interested while waiting for the new HP.
