Just wondering if anyone plans on getting this book, when it comes out next week.

[Irving]

No, I want to be e-cool and say Harry Potter is retarded, instead of admitting that I will likely be buying it the day or the day after it comes out.

[Ashley]

I have co-workers that have been on the waiting list since before the book even had a title.


I haven't read any of them, but I have seen the movies.

[Khyros]

Harry Potter and the predictable ending

Harry Potter and the fact that he still wears glasses even though they have spells that do [filtered]ing everything but they wont fix his eyes because they are all total assholes, and why the [filtered] dont they use guns?

[trrrravis]

magic only works when it bests fits the story!

[Irving]

The "magic" is too thick near Hogwarts to use guns. And why use guns when you have a "Killing" curse.

[Sratava]

Knife of Dreams in October.

That's all I have to say.

Watching the HP movies ruined the HP books for me, unfortunately. The world Rawlings or whoever created came crashing down when I saw the hideous movies.

[JonnyTruant]

I already have mine pre-ordered. But then, we already knew I was a geek.

I totally dig the books, especially after the 3rd. The movies were entertaining fluff. They did a reasonable job considering the time constraints and change of media, but I haven't a clue how they're going to do Goblet of Fire. The book's twice as long as the 3rd, (twice as dark, too!) and they already cut out too much from the other movies. This one has the serious likelyhood of totally biting.

But book 6... mmmmm... I can't wait!

[RikiyuTheNoob]

I can't wait, personally.
Nothing wrong with being a total geek.

[Vredick]

Haven't read or seen any of them.

[Akuhei]

I might...but only after I read the Order of the Phoenix.

[talonblade]

I'm getting it on my last day of vaction.

[Schepty schept]

Dammit Aku, I keep staring at your avatar.

On topic:
Not a fan of reading, but a fan of the HP movies.
Looking at the people instead of imagining them in your had is SOOO much better.
And because Emma Watson is hot in the 3rd movie.

[Cronus]

I preordered it because I don't feel like waiting 3 weeks to get a copy. Also, I don't usually like fighting little kids on release day.

[Skee]

Interesting title, but I haven't read Order of the Pheonix because my friend said it sucked.

...I need to go to the library and get it.

Anyways, one more book after this one. Then Harry Potter is gone. Forever.

[Moiraine]

Already pre-ordered 2 copies months ago... I've enjoyed both the books and the movies.

[Tasuki]

I preorderd mine in January. Getting ti when it comes out, I love HP books. T_T Gotta re read 1-5 before this one comes out.

[Ghul]

I will.

Didn't order it though, popping up at midnight at the local Wal-Mart is so much more fun.

[Hobbes]

When book 4 came out, it was a warm atmosphere that night at Barnes and Nobles. All the die-hard fans were out (about 50 people in the store), everyone talked to each other. It was wonderful.

Book 5... Was horrible. It came out when the series was popularized. There were all kinds of littles kids and angry looking people crawling all over the place. I swear they somehow packed 300 people into that building. I hated them all. All the middle aged people groaning and yelling at their brats, who were running around in capes and using fake British accents (this was the part that really urked me).

Now when this one comes out, Im grabbing a cup of coffee from the Starbucks that attached to Barnes and Nobles, and Im going to hid in the music section.

I just wish Kezef and Tabb were still around. We had an interesting conversation in the thread for Order of the Pheonix. Kez posted this link, which to this day I still find funny. http://web.njit.edu/~pm44/raid.mpg

*Sigh* Memories.

I just threw up in my mouth a little

LIGHTNING BOLT!
LIGHTNING BOLT!
LIGHTNING BOLT!

[Papaya]

^^ I wanna read it. I hope it's better than Order of the Phoenix, I didn't really like that one...

[Radical Edward]

Yeah, I have like all 5 of the books so far. I'll probably wind up at the book store with my girlfriend, because her and her entire family are into the harry potter books or whatnot. I thought Harry turned into a whiny [filtered] in the 5th book. Other than that I didn't have any problems with it.

[Irving]

Harry Potter's head needs to be deflated in this one.

[Jai]

People need to realize that in the 5th book Harry is 15 years old. The middle of the teen years and whether you want to admit it or not, there was a time around 15 when you were a whiney angsty [filtered]. I applaud Rowling for taking age development into consideration.

[Khyros]

Actually at 15 I was pretty chill.

[Nakio]

Yeah, but I'm not going to go after it on release day. I'm not going to pre-order it either :o I'll just wait a week or two, however long it takes to go to the book store and not see little angsty kids and 40 year old pedofiles.

:(

[PacoX]

I was more big headed than angry at 15, but what do I know Im only 16. I guess I'll get this one early, the last book i got lucky and got it at midnight because my aunt had bought a extra copy just to keep and I asked her for it.

A fist fight scene between Ron and Harry would be very much appriciated. Because Ron would definatly kick Harry's ass.

[Irving]

Ah comon, Harry chucked a badge thing at Ron in the 4th book and Ron didn't do [filtered]. Ron is a pussy.

[Skank]

I look like Harry Potter IRL, everyone Ive met has told me that.

On a side note, I preordered it in London, the books covers are different as well as some of the language. He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named is Voldemort in the UK while You-Know-Who is Voldemort in the US.
