Harry Potter time

Who likes Harry Potter? I like Harry Potter. Who read Deathly Hallows?

I'm on book five right now.

Harry's become quite the little whiny *****, hasn't he?

i like...the accents, does that count?jrsygrl0601

The accents are awesome. The quality of the movies would be abysmal were it not for their accents.

Yes, I've read all the books.

Not like that, no. I'd be whiny at the appropriate times and I wouldn't be *****ing about the one guy that's constantly saved my ass (Dumbledore).

Yep. Read all of them. Including "Quidditch Through the Ages" and "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them."

As for all the angst, I kind of felt that Harry Potter is one of the few series where the angst is justified. I mean, by book five, the media is out to get him, people around him are dying, and he's still being kept in the dark. I'd certainly be cranky.

Rowling's writing is flawless, in my opinion. enterawesome

WAY too much "ly" adverbs (he said critically). It's just very annoying after a while (he said irritatedly). They are very nice stories though, and I still like them (he said appreciatively).

Me too! I'm guessing you've read Beedle the Bard as well. I'm obsessed with Harry Potter, and happily at that. :)

I cheated.... I listened to the 5th book on audio and read the last two. However I did recently started reading the series from the beginning.

Yes I do. They are extremely fun books to read, and I often find myself just picking out a random HP book and flipping to a random chapter, and just reading for the fun of it. Rowling's writing is flawless, in my opinion. The movies are also very good, especially the new one.enterawesome

Errr, no, not really >_>

If you want near-flawless writing, read Hemingway. :)

Im reading a story where Harry gets possesed by a fallen angel at age 7.

**** awesome.

The "near" accounting for his humongous run-on sentences in Farewell to Arms?

Which one is that? The reason I included "near" is because nobody is a "perfect" writer.

I hated The Scarlet Letter so much, not (as with most people) because of Hawthorne's writing style, but because I found it to be one of the most boring and irritating books ever written.

[QUOTE="hamstergeddon"] lol if you want run on sentences read Hawthorne (The Scarlet Letter an' sich) he actually makes sentences so long he actually has to divide them into two paragraphs. hamstergeddon

Same here. I seriously hated almost ever character in that novel, with the sole exception of Dimmesdale.

Excellent books, excellent movies. I'm currently reading Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (not because of the movie-- this is my first time rereading through the series since I finished the final book-- I've been rereading through the series for a few months now).

Okay I'm genuinely interested in your plot holes because I'm particular about things and like to know when things don't match up, but I just have to say that "Mad Dog" made me laugh! Too funny.

Loved the books, read all of them multiple times. I originally thought I'd tire of them after a few years, but I still go back to them. I've also enjoyed the movies...they're not Oscar-quality, but they're still entertaining.

There are a handful of flaws. One time, I found that she misspelled "Weasley." Also, the series has several Deus Ex Machinas, Voldemort is a genre blind idiot, the other bad guy in book four constructed a needlessly complicated plan...

But really, I don't care. They're very entertaining, imaginative, and endearing.

The movies aren't so good, though. Half-Blood Prince is okay as a movie, but the others are kinda just... okay.

I think the biggest problem with the series is the fandom. Some awful works of fanfiction (the infamous "My Immortal"), and the insanity of the shippers... ohhh, the shippers...

I'm on book five right now.
