TOPIC: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows

Personally I like the newspaper strategy, in order to make the next day run - they had speed readers read the book and provide their feedback.  I think I read some place that the book was read in 47 minutes and 1 second.

I really liked how she ties up some of the final pieces using that cool device.  A whole chapter relegated to it.<br /><br />Don't tell people summaries.  They need to go read the book themselves and enjoy it.<br /><br />At a few hundred pages a day, I was done by Sunday evening.  That included waiting in line for 1.5 hours at the Walmart and a day long birthday party Saturday.

pblltbltt<br /><br />I got my summary!

Azkaban is still my fave of the HP books, but this one was really good.  I liked the final chapter, but would have liked more info on even more characters.  Some of the deaths really hit me.<br /><br />Now this question qualifies for a spoiler alert, even though it really doesn't give any information about what happens in the book.  People with answers can PM me.<br /><br />So...<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />[move]SPOILER ALERT[/move]<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Does anyone think Hugo and Rose are named for anyone?<br />

I still can't decide if I enjoyed Deathly Hallows more than Goblet of Fire.  That was my favorite up to this point.  It's so hard to compare each book to one another since they each serve a different purpose.<br /><br />Kim

<br />pblltbltt<br /><br />I got my summary!<br />

Hey I didn't get one!!!

If you really want a summary, I can send you one as well.  Just let me know the details that you want to know about the book.<br /><br />Kim

We were telling Harry Potter fans at the local con that Ron got Hermione pregnant and she  dies after a botched abortion in Knockturn Alley.<br /><br />"Aborticus Feticus!<br /><br />No, no! Moron!<br /><br />It's AH-borticus Feticus! Now she's hermmoraging!"

The Butler Did It!<br /><br />Vader is Luke's Father!<br /><br />Bruce Willis' character is DEAD!<br /><br />Soylent Green is made of people!<br /><br />Everyone did it!  They all stabbed him one time each!<br /><br />Harry Potter uses the sorceror's stone to defeat Voldemort!<br /><br />Colonel Mustard, in the Library, with the Candlestick!<br /><br />Anakin turns to the Dark Side, and becomes Vader!<br /><br />Rosebud was the name of the sled!<br /><br />It was earth all along!<br /><br />Neo is the one!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Ha, take that all you anti-spoiler people!<br /><br /><br />(This thread inspired by this shirt:  www.threadless.com/product/844/Spoilt#zoom )  Warning!  Contains Spoilers!

<br /><br />Well, given that the book is written for children, an intelligent adult can read the book in a matter of a couple of hours.

I think the books stopped being completely written for children about three books ago.  I also think that there are plenty of intelligent adults out there who are taking at least 7 hours or more to read the book.  That does average out to over 100 pages an hour which I think is a decent rate of reading.<br /><br />Kim

Too true!<br /><br />Loved the shirt!  But HP didn't use the stone to defeat Voldemort in book 1, but prevented him from getting it.<br />
