TOPIC: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows

No, this is not to talk about the book or give away any spoilers.<br /><br />I was just wondering if there were any others out there who were as geeky as me. Got the book Friday at midnight. Came home and started reading. About 3:30 am passed out. Roughly 7 am woke up and continued reading till it was done which was about 2 pm.<br /><br />I will say this...it takes a damned good author telling a damned good story to get me laughing and crying and cheering while reading.

Harry who?<br /><br />Oh I think I have seen parts of one or two movies...and wasn't this one of the LARP things put on last year.<br /><br />Honestly, our house has not caught Harry fever...maybe when the kids are older.

<br /><br />Me, me, me!  I didn't get the book til about 9am on Saturday, and still have 100 or so pages to go.  So many deaths!  I don't know if I can take many more!<br /><br />binia

Ugh, I know what you mean, Binia.  Won't say anything specific to avoid spoilers, but it was a great book.  Got it midnight Friday, stayed up to about 1:30, read thru most of yesterday, and finished it today.  Can't believe that's the end!<br />

<br /><br />Done now, and it was very good.  The epilogue left me with many questions, although if I ask what you think, it'd be a spoiler.  Mostly it's about the careers of the adults... wish we knew more.

I do hope when they get to the last movie they say 'hang the budget' and just use the book as the script. Some of the visuals in my head I got while reading it would be great to see.<br /><br />Especially those last couple chapters. Gods..the urge to say something...must....resisit..<br /><br />And Gary...plplplbbbtttt!

back at cha...<br /><br />I think the first movie put me to sleep if I recall...<br /><br />I'll give it another go, but english accents are a trite bit annoying.

Well, when you read the book, just give them French or Australian accents!<br />

OK so someone PM me the details - who dies and what not...<br /><br />I figure I won't read the book, so at least I can be a sound board for the pros and cons of it.

I worked at our local Waldenbooks that night as their Harry Potter expert.  I received my book by 12:15 and was out of the store by 12:30.  I got home and stayed up all night reading the book.  It took me 7 hours and 28 minutes.  Shaman, pm me if you want to talk about the book.<br /><br />Kim

Ok I was at the store at midnight to pick up the book, but not for me. I really don't read that much(unless its a Graphic Novel). If someone could pm me the details of the book, I would like that much. Oh and what about the reprint with a new ending possibly coming out on next saturday?

What are you talking about regarding a reprint?<br /><br />Kim
