HP Anyone???????????
 

Anybody gettinthe new Harry Potter book????? I unfortunatly will have to wait a while because I forgot to preorder and i will never be able to find a copy tomorrow :x

YES! I WILL HAVE IT IN... *looks at his desktop countdown thing* one day, ten hours, 4 minutes, and 30 seconds.

w00t!

I'm even going to the midnight party thing! And I won't get any sleep saturday, cause i'll be reading.

It's going to be all mine saturday! All mine! My one! My preciousssss!
Wow, I think I just blended liek 3 fandomes in 5 seconds, go me

I'll be getting it sometime this weekend. I hope to see my theories happen. Some people already have the book if you have been paying attention to the news...I hate idiots like that, they try to ruin it for others who have been waiting 3 years for this book and then know the plot the day before it's release! But 896 pages should be a nice read! :lol: :)

I don't think they said anything about the book that the author haven't said her self from what I have seen...

I'm picking up OotP on Saturday at my local Target. :D I can't wait to see what happens, these three years have been murder waiting for this!

I can't believe you people actually read Harry Potty! :roll:

Huh? Who said anything about Harry Potty?

Anyway, yes there has been quite a few spoilers already released...I won't post any, because I don't want to know them, and don't want to ruin the book for you guys either. But Daily News has released tabloids after getting the book 4 days before it's release... So Rowling and her publishers filed a $100 million lawsuit on them, hopefully they will have to pay up...those **************************** ********

Would anybody who is getting it please tell me what it's about? I heard some different stories on what's it about and just want the truth. Thanks.

I heard the book is a third longer than GoF. I thought Rowling said that GoF was going to be the longest?

I reserved a copy and I'm gonna pick it up saturday.

You guys like this ****? Some little dork with powers? Seems kinda...crappy to me.

I take it you never read the books. They are some of the best Fantasy literature to have come out in years. Awesome characters and very, very clever plotlines. (Which they dumb down in the craptacular movies. Damn you Steve Kloves!)

Honestly, I don't see liking a little kid with powers of a wizard to be any different than liking mutated turtles that fight crime with ninja powers taught to them by a rat, and I mean it in the most loving way because I love mutated turtles that fight crime with ninja powers, i am just suprised that people are giving HP such a negative response.
I agree, that often things get blown out of proportion by mass media, and I didn't read them for a long time because I tend to disagree with what majority considers "good books" or "good music", however, Harry Potter really is an amazing book, I was totally suprised when I read it, the most wondeful part is that it teaches kids to be happy with who they are and to stand by their believes and values, which is one of the main concepts I greatly respect in the TMNT universe.
And it also got kids reading again, which is wondeful in a world of TV and video games and the net.

Thought this was gonna be about Hewlett Packard for a minute...

*cringes at the phrase "Hewlett Packard"*

My thoughts exactly. Well put. :)

I can't wait!!!!! It'll be delivered right to my door, so I will probably be sitting on my steps all day waiting for the man in the brown truck :D And then read all weekend. I got the 4th book(GOF) done in 2 days.

Awee, thanks :-)
Though I just read it over and realized, MAN! I AM OLD!!! :-)

I told all my coworkers that I will be untouchble for exactly 4 days, one to read the book, one to reread all my favorite parts and anylize them, one to call all my real life friends and discuss it in great detail, and one jump on all the HP forums and Fanfiction.net and discuss it with on-line fans.
Though it's not a good enough excuse not to go to work, just to mock me about, excessivly :-( :-)
Unfortunatelly, I will be working Saturday until 5, so I won't get it until 6 or so, and I am seriously considering blowing off my plans for that nite to stay home and read HP, but.... I guess that would make me too much of a geek even for my taste :-)

Hey the books are great who cares what everyone else thinks I mean come on most of us are older then 13 and we still watch cartoons.

Good point. :lol:
I think the reason alot of people hate HP is because of how much media coverage each book and movie gets and the horrible, kiddy US covers. (I'm sorry, but I can't stand the art, except for book five, which take a turn for good where it makes it look more mature.)

Okay.. I'll admit. I'm a lazy reader. Just can't seem to find the time to read old fashioned books, what with all this internet goodness going on. But I do like movies. Including the Harry Potter ones. Of course, I ain't no muggle. I like HP, I'm just not another wild n crazy fan about it. Yeaaah... LotR on the other hand. That's the one I go drooling over. :P

However, yesterday morning, I heard on the Today show that some people stole a bunch of the to be realeased books to sell ont he blackmarket. Now... isn't that the most upsurd thing you heard? That these books have gotten to be so popular, they are practically stealing them! :lol:

Damn.. why can't the TMNT be that cool? :wink:

Maybe because the book has already sold around 3,000,000 copies? :lol: It's the hot item at the moment, and I know people who are willing to fork over hundreds for it. Fortunatly, I'm not one of the individuals. :lol: LotR kicks major ass, but if it wasn't for ol' scar-head, I would've never gained interest in it.

And trust me, if you read started to read these books, you'll get addicted. I used to hate reading until I read the HP books. :goofygri:

I can make the TMNT cool! *runs off to steal some figs from Target*

I don't think I have met one person, adult or otherwise, who has read one HP book and not liked it. It's just awesome!!

Do they have audio books? :D

Only that I still have to finish LotR, then this new TF Hardwired book, and Chronicles of Narnia... and all the new comic books that come my way. Not to mention all the fanfics! *falls over dead*

they are, they are damn it, to me at least! *hugs her turtle movies and her HP books and LOTR movie tightly to chest, and curls into a fetal position under the front desk!*
Ok, so they aren't, but I agree, I wish TMNT were that popular :-)

I tried..honestly, I tried..I heard all the hype, checked out a book in the Library last year and after the first chapter I was like "Uhh...what the ****?". And my sister has the damn movie, and I watched it for some...odd reason..Pretty damn dumb as well as the book. I recommend Lord of the Rings.

Yes they do, but they are damn expensive.

@Stone Ill: It gets MUCH better and much darker after the first chapter. And the movie sucks royally. It's like judging Sir Tolkien's masterpiece with the horrible 70's cartoon. And I already read The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit and I'm going to read the Silmarillion soon. :D So, I'm already a Tolkien fan.

Stone to appreciate the books you probably have to get into the third book. That's where I started getting crazy about the series. I just hope there's a copy of OotP out there somewhere for me and I won't have to go treking around to find one!

Don't worry, they'll be making millions and millions of copies of this one...even with all the pre-orders, there are still 5 times the amount that have been produced. I agree how crappy the movies are, and how unrelated they are to the books...LOTR is good, but I think HP was better-written, while LOTR had a better movie by far than HP.

Amen to that...*eats another page of "prisoner" *

My on/off girlfriend Jasmine works and Barnes and Nobles, and apparently they will all be wearing School Uniforms to work tomorrow at midnight. I don't know if it's just our local store or a company thing, but it should be fun to see :lol:

My mom read it and hated it. She reads a lot of books too. She's the librarian at the high school.

Sometimes it depends on what type of books you like(genre). I really like the Harry Potter series and I hope I can get a copy or borrow a copy of the book to read!

I'm an Anti-Potter!!! i just hate this little kid with his magic... stupid kid... hate... stupid...

I WANT MAGIC POWERS TOO!!! BUUUHOOOO :cry: ... :P

No one else was amused that the people that work at B&N has to wear school costumes to sell the book at midnight?

I was but just didn't post. So as in school uniforms you mean Hogwarts clothes right? That would be funny to see.

Well, I preordered it from Amazon.com so who knows when it will be here...I thought maybe Sat. but now I don't know. Oh well atleast I got it 40% off.
