The Harry Potter Thread ( Beware of SPOILERS! )

[iThePirate]

Well if he dies, that would support one of my earliest theorys, that the prophecy is a contradiction and they both will die. It was something like: Noone can live if the other survives. Which to me is a contradiction but then when ya take the rest of the prophecy into consideration it sounds less likely.

[amar_kun]

yeah.. omg, how come i forgot the most important part of the prophecy "none can live if the other survives".. thanks iThePirate for correcting me.. it was a year already since the last time i read harry potter book.. lol

[iThePirate]

I'm re-readin' 'em now, but I'm currently on book 4 n' I'm only halfway through that so it'll take atleast 'til tomorrow before I can quote the prophecy properly.

[Babii-Boo]

do you think harry will die in the last book? i do think so. since harry is an equal to voldemort, so when voldemort dies, he dies.. just my opinion though.. :D

I think Harry dies, along with Voldemort. =D And probably Ron or Hermione will die too :D

Anyways does time fly pass or what? There's like - only less than 3 months of waiting O.o

Y'know, I personally like waiting. I mean, after the 7th book is out, it's the end of the Harry Potter books. There's no more continuation of the story or any more theories we can discuss about, and no more waiting-for-the-next-book-to-come-out. O_o When it's out, the Harry Potter series is complete. And we'll just have to say to our grandchildren one day, "Back in my days, HP used to be a fantastic book".

So in a way, I like this waiting and sharing ideas of what will happen in the next book(s) rather than sharing opinions about what we think of the book. Well, maybe that's just me ^^"

[iThePirate]

I agree with ya on the point of "what will happen in the next book" it's always nice to speculate.
On the other hand I really like to have everything of something, a full series, a full pack o'smokes, an untouched paycheck etc. etc.

I like waiting too and I agree with you, this will be the last book of harry potter. However, I will buy as soon as it gets out.

[iThePirate]

So which ones here will buy it in their native language and which ones will buy it in english?

[kadodo]

I actually read Harry Potter 1-4 in French. However, when I movd to the U.S., it was hard for me to find them in French. So I read 5-6 in English. Therfore, book 7 will be English for me.

[iThePirate]

I have 1-6 in both Swedish and English, So i'll go both :D

[kadodo]

Really? Do they cost almost the same price? I might buy another French Harry Potter but it comes out later in the year.

[Babii-Boo]

All my Harry Potter books (1-6) are in English :D

[iThePirate]

Ad. Ed. or Ch. Ed.?

Just skimmed thorugh your "ask-me-thread" btw... My brain is spinnin' now. Confusion is upon me in an aggresive manner... Pigs still can't fly but atleast they're tryin' now.

[amar_kun]

i got all my harry potter in english, children edition.. i kinda like the children cover than the adult one.. because they are more colourful :XD!!

i also got i book of harry potter in malay.. kinda sucks though.. the translation kinda make everything out of its initial meaning.. so it lost the 'feel'..

[kadodo]

Well, the translations just make the story in another language but trust me the story is still the same. It's just because you speak both Malay and english that you can feel a difference.
Do you like the covers they have for the Malay translation?

[amar_kun]

well.. i think the printing company take another non-english harry potter edition cover.. i think it's either french or deutch edition since i've seen it before in a comic magazine..

however the price of an english harry potter book is very expensive in malaysia.. for example, i have to pay 80 ringgit (1 pound is 7 ringgit) for harry potter number 5.
this is due to the exchange rates.. however the malay edition only cost about 20 ringgit..


a bit of topic, lol! this is my #111 post!!! yippieee!!!:turtle

[kadodo]

Well, when I bought my French books, I bought 1-4 all together in Canada so I cannot really say the difference. Howver, the American cover is definitely better

[amar_kun]

could you pls describe the american cover? it is the black cover? or it is the colourful one?

[kadodo]

what book are you exactly talking about 1,2,3 or 4?

[amar_kun]

let say.. book 4.. the one that i had shows a picture of harry flying on his broomstick, trying to take the eggs from the dragon.. it is very colourful! :P

[kadodo]

well, I don't remember too much but I think it had some orange into it. Very colorful I should say.

Did you see the covers for book 7?

[amar_kun]

yeah.. i found some cover when i try to pre-order it at amazon.co.uk.. it is a children edition, and of course it is quite colourful! :XD

you might wanna take a look of the cover here
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Harry-Potter-Deathly-Hallows-Childrens/dp/0747591059/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/026-4722842-4774814?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1178065764&sr=8-1

Thanks amar_kun
go there to see all the different covers

[amar_kun]

wow.. thanks kadodo..

oh man.. there's still 3 months before the launch of the final book.. it seems like forever!! :(

[Babii-Boo]

Perhaps you can think of something else to do in the mean time? Like catch up with all the other HP books or read another book to kill time.. ?

[kadodo]

Perhaps you can think of something else to do in the mean time? Like catch up with all the other HP books or read another book to kill time.. ?

I'm actually going to be in vacation tomorrow, so I'll probably read book 5 and 6 in the mean time.

[amar_kun]

wow.. im jealous of you guys who have so much free time.. my exams are just around the corner so i have to study to prepared for them.. however my summer break will start on 29th of june, and hopefully i will be able to finish re-reading all 6 HP books before reading the last one which is due in July :D

[kadodo]

wow, I actually did not think of rereading all six. It's probably very important that you do, but I don't want to reread all six cuz 1-4 are in French. It's gonna be confusing for me to go from French to English. So I'll just read 5-6 which are in English

[iThePirate]

I've already started rereadin' all six, it's pretty damn boring through some parts but I've gotten atleast one new thiong to think about: Why do they only sing the school song in the first book? :XD

[amar_kun]

really? i thought they sang the school song for a few times.. since every years version is different from the other.. and i remembered Ron said something like this "the hat got 1 full year to think about the new lyrics"

wait.. i think i got confused with the school song and the sorting hat song..;bash;bash

[kadodo]

If I remember correctly wasn't book 1 the only one that Harry got to Hogwarts on time? In all the rest, it shows that Harry came in a car, was stuck in the train ...... What I'm trying to say is that somethin always happens to Harry before he comes to Hpgwarts. Maybe that's why we don't see the songs in the rest of the books. Or maybe J.K. found that it was unnecessary.

1st. In time.
2nd. Carcrash.
3rd. In time, but missed the sorting.
4th. In time.
5th. In time.
6th. Stuck in train.

Thanks for the clarification. I guess J.K. did not find it necessary for the book

[iThePirate]

Yeah, probably, but it wouldn't have hurt her to just ctrl+c ctrl+v in every book, for a beer I would've dun' it myself.

[kadodo]

That's a very funny comment. I bet it was difficult for her since her pen did not have the ctrl+c or ctrl+v button

[iThePirate]

So they edit the book and spellcheck it with pen n' paper? Could've sworn they used comps. for that, I might be wrong though..

[kadodo]

No no, I'm just saying that I think J.K. write her stuff with pen. She probably retype them. I don't know what I'm saying anymore. She just did not put the songs anymore.

[iThePirate]

Yeah, it was a nice talk about something totally irrelevant though. :)

[kadodo]

I think she's cute but I have to see her better to compare her to emma watson

[amar_kun]

how about harry? it seems that he got a new haircut this time.. most of my frens (girls) hate it.. ron looks cool though.. but he always cool.. :P

[jairdan6]

[kadodo]

lol. statutory rapist! anywho... man i wish cho chang was prettier. also belletrix lestrange looks pretty cool in that trailer.
Bellatrix was kind of hot. Anyways, it doesn't matter for Cho Chang because she's not meant to be with Harry. I wish Ginny was cuter though. I bet the one that plays her cannot wait to kiss Daniel Radcliffe in the next movie

[amar_kun]

cho chang was a complete turn off.. im quite dissappointed actually with the producer.. they should pick someone more beautiful though..

bellatrix looks cool in her outfit

[kadodo]

There were runors that Emma Watson might not play movie 6 and 7 but it seems that she will. Go here:

No problem, now I'm happy that she is going to play in movie 6 and maybe movie 7.

[amar_kun]

emma watson is soooo hermione!! i just cant imagine anyone else taking that role..

i hate harry though.. anyway, i hate him in the book, maybe thats why i hate him also in the movie :XD

ron the the best!! :XD cool and funny as always!!

[kadodo]

emma watson is soooo hermione!! i just cant imagine anyone else taking that role..

That's true, I do not see anybody else who could take up her role and also we were finally getting used to her, seeing somebody else do it will totally change my liking of the movie

[amar_kun]

hey kadodo.. you must be a HP maniac.. it seems that most post in this thread is from you!! :XD

[kadodo]

yeah, you could say that. I love Harry Potter so much I decided to create this thread. Anybody here that lives in Japan? If you do, you will have the chance to meet Daniel Radcliffe at the world premiere of Harry Potter and the Order of Phoenix on June 28th 2007 but the movie goes worldwide on July 13th 2007.

Check it out: http://www.hpana.com/news.19936.html

[weixiaobao]

I am late to this thread :(
Anyway... does anybody know when the last book come out...?

[kadodo]

you read harry potter? I did not know that. The last book comes out this year my friend on July 21st

and the movie comes out on July 13th as I said in my previous post.

Who is your favorite character by the way?

[weixiaobao]

u should know harry potter WAS my favorite character until he become just another teen, as the moment i can't recall any fav. character yet without somethoughts...

Harry is my favorite character of course but I like Hermione too, she comes up with amazing ideas

Mine would be McGonagall and Dumbledore

MCGonagall, really? I do not get this one often. Do you have any particular reasons?

[weixiaobao]

didn't meant to interrupt the conversation bw u and woody
but how's everyone thought about those controversies that some parents in the USA want Harry Porter series to be out of the (school?) library bc they believe that the series promoting their children to pratice witchcraft...? (old news but anyway)

I think that's stupid, very stupid. I just want to know how the children are gonna get into withcraft. The book is a fantasy, you know. I don't think a child will take a piece of wood and starts to shout spell with it, nothing will happen. Also, do the parents have any proof the spells that the author use in the book are actually used in witchcraft?

[Az3r]

Harry Potter is a fine read. What people should realize is that any children (or any people for that matter) who wants to read it, should have a proper education in their religion first, so that they have a basic religious filter. That and they should understand that Harry Potter is just a form of entertainment, not some cult propaganda. I don't know what happened with parents in the USA, but as far as I know, parents in my country don't make a big fuss about Harry Potter (they just complain about the price of the book 'cause it's sort of expensive here :p ).

[woody_green]

@kadodo: It's because she reminds me of myself. :XD

[rhapsody blue]

Apparently there is a plan to build a Harry Potter theme park (http://movies.yahoo.com/mv/news/ap/20070531/118063398001.html) in Orlando, Florida.

[Absolutio]

this theme park doesnt sound such a good idea. disney land and legoland are enough for theme parks. :p

[kadodo]

Well, it sounds like a good idea. Thanks for the info snoogen

[woody_green]

If that turns out to be better than Disneyland, I'll come. Anyway, I can't wait for Book 7!!

[Ichimaru Gin n Tonic]

Since this thread seems to be a bit deadinactive, i got a news that (might) shock you guys.
Read all about it here (http://www.reuters.com/article/topNews/idUSN2028966520070620) and here (http://www.hecklerspray.com/harry-potter-and-the-deathly-hallows-hacked-so-thats-who-dies/20068862.php). :D

[yoniekai]

i just saw the title and no way no way no wayyy im reading that news. my friends better not be talking about it too. this is a valid reason to kill.

[woody_green]

I ain't buying that. I mean, where are his sources? "Gabriel" could have at least posted a page or two of the digital copy as proof.

[MadDog]

^No way that's true (unless they post some proof). The "spoiler" was a little hard to follow as well. However, since the media is making this into a big story, it does makes me wonder if there is some truth to it.

[kadodo]

Thanks for the link Ichi. Also, I did not even read the spoiler. The first thing I read was the warning and that was enough for me. I don't know if it is true or not but I do not want to put any ideas in my head.

[Impel Down]

I don't really want to hear any HP spoilers. It's bad enough that I got Sirius dying AND Dumbledore getting killed spoiled for me...

[kadodo]

Hey, I'm all mad about those two dying as well but I think this will help Harry to become stronger than he already is.

[Impel Down]

I didn't say I was mad that they died, I said I was mad that their deaths were spoiled for me before I read the books T_T

[kadodo]

Oh really? How long ago have you read the books?

[Impel Down]

A while ago, but before I read 5th and 6th, someone told me that Sirius died in the 5th, and that Dumbledore gets killed in the 6th. And I <3'd Sirius, so it was very annoying.

[kadodo]

yeah I was mad when he died too and we the author said two more people will die in book 7

[Impel Down]

Yeah, I'm guessing Voldemort and Harry...or Snape.

[Absolutio]

Voldemort and snape.. not harry.. Although i wished he Did die! :p

[Impel Down]

I can see Snape dying. And as much as I want to believe that he is truly evil now...part of me wants all the "he's actually good" theories to be true.

[DemonDays]

22 days to go!! Can't wait!!
I really should order the book now....

[kadodo]

I might go and buy it at midnight but I don't know if I might just wake up early and buy it.



@ Demondays: When you order it online, does it come the same day?

[Impel Down]

Lol, on the Colbert Report, there was a thing about some people asking for legal action against people who post internet spoilers on the last book.

[weixiaobao]

let change subject..
is snape really a bad guy?

[Babii-Boo]

Would you believe it? The movie and book is actually coming out this month! Wow... Does time fly or what? The movie is looking scary enough... And I can spend the whole summer (in England unfortunately T___________T No more NY!!!) reading the 7th book :D Great.

[woody_green]

is snape really a bad guy?

I'm really, really confused about that. As much as I want to see Dumbledore avenged, I think once I hear Snape confess I might kill him.. or not.

[yoniekai]

im not reading the posts, and that hacker news, cause true or not, we dont know either! i will not be spoiledddddd

[kadodo]

Even though there is no proof, I don't think Snape is a bad guy. Remember throughout the whole book, we knew that the spot for the defense against the dark arts is cursed. Why did Dumbledore make Snape take the job if he knew Snape would be leaving Hogwarts somehow.

Also, it's just my assupmtion but I think that the lady that can see the future (I forgot her name) might have predicted Dumbledore being killed by Snape.

[woody_green]

Also, it's just my assupmtion but I think that the lady that can see the future (I forgot her name) might have predicted Dumbledore being killed by Snape.

Do you mean Trelawney? But Dumbledore said she only made 2 real predictions, and the first is Harry's birth and the second Wormtail's return to Voldemort.

[~Lilium~]

hi guys. when's the movie coming out? cuz i know that the book is coming on the 21st. i'm really excited for it too! :Xd

[woody_green]

Here in the Philippines it will be released this 13th, but in the US it will be released on the 11th.

[kadodo]

Do you mean Trelawney? But Dumbledore said she only made 2 real predictions, and the first is Harry's birth and the second Wormtail's return to Voldemort.

Well, that was just a guess. However, I wonder what Dumbledore and Snape were talking about in the forest when Dunbledore said something like : Stick with the plan."

[iThePirate]

Didnt trelawney pull out the lightning struck tower card or wha'ever before harry n dumby took off to the cave n horcrux? :blink

[kadodo]

Did she? I surely do not remember but I'm rereading book 6 right now, maybe I'll catch up to it.

[ryusuke_]

let change subject..

I think he had to kill Dumbledore to not broke the promise he made in the first chapters of Hp 06 with two women (don't remember their names), but he still is in the 'good' side.

Sincerely, I think Rowling has made a good job with the developing of this character, all the people is intrigued with him.

Yeah I think it might be that reason too. Oh yeah I think you meant Bellatrix Lestrange and and Narcissa (Malfoy's mom)

And I'm sure Snape wanted to protect Dumbledore somehow. Also, why didn't he kill Harry at the end, and he also had the opportunity to do so.

[Impel Down]

I totally want Snape to really be evil, not that he had to "pretend to kill Dumbledore because he's a double agent". It's just a perfect behind-the-back major villain pull-off! A total Aizen! But, I do also believe that in the end he will die doing some act of good.

[kadodo]

To tell you the truth, I think Dumbledore was going to die anyways. After he drank that thing from the fountain, I don't think he would have lived for long. Before Snape said the Avada Kedavra, Dumbledore said: "Snape". Who knows, maybe Dumbledore opened his mind and let Snape use Legimency on him. I think Dumbledore thought this: "Snape, kill me". What could Snape have done. The Death Eaters were starting to win over the Order of Phoenix anyways. If he betrayed the Death Eaters, he would have lost his life.

[MadDog]

I think Kadodo's right that Dumbledore probably wasn't going to make it anyway. As for Snape, I keep going back and forth. He's managed to fool at least one of the two most powerful wizards, and I'm thinking that Dumbledore really did get played. Personally, I hope he does end up being on the side of the death eaters, just because I can't stand him.

[~Lilium~]

Here in the Philippines it will be released this 13th, but in the US it will be released on the 11th.

thanks woody_green. I can't wait to watch it! just in time when i come back too.

[Misury]

I think I have to wait for ages 'til the 7th book arrives in Switzerland.. and it's bothering me, 'cause I can't wait to read it. Maybe I'll just loan it out somewhere in english.. whatever..

so.. what do you think is gonna happen in the 7th book?
my predictions: Harry defeating the Lord and both die, Hogwarts will open and Hagrid becomes the schooldirector, Hermine and Ron together and uh.. yeah that's it. Maybe it's a bit cruel to let Harry die, but that's just the end I would wish to happen.

Well, based on the prophecy, one has to live in order for the other one to die. Which means that both of them cannot die. Although it could be that Harry finishes off Voldemort and then somehow dies afterwards.

Now, my big question is this: If Voldemort dies, will all his death eaters will also be dead? I think they might just go to Azkaban but will they do now, since the Dementors are on Voldemort's side.

[Impel Down]

The Death Eaters won't die, no. They aren't, like, connected to him or anything. And if Voldemort dies, the Dementors will probably just go back to work at Azkaban, since they're the next highest bidder.

[kadodo]

The Death Eaters won't die, no. They aren't, like, connected to him or anything. And if Voldemort dies, the Dementors will probably just go back to work at Azkaban, since they're the next highest bidder.

Well yeah, I would like all the death eaters to die. It will make The Order Of Phoenix murderers and stuff and I do not think that it will be something that Dumbledore will do. Also, I would to see more of Dumbledore's brother Aberforth Dumbledore, Dumbledore only mentions him couple of times

[Impel Down]

Hell yes, they SHOULD all die, but they won't die as a result of Voldemort dying, I don't think. Personally, brother wise, I wanna see Sirius's bro, aka, RAB.

[woody_green]

Hell yes, they SHOULD all die, but they won't die as a result of Voldemort dying, I don't think. Personally, brother wise, I wanna see Sirius's bro, aka, RAB.

He's dead, the Black Family Tapestry says so. Unless you mean RAB as a memory, right? Anyway, I also want to know the rest of the Horcruxes, and I have a feeling that one is in Godric's Hollow and another in 12 Grimmauld Place.

[kadodo]

Well yeah, I would like all the death eaters to die. It will make The Order Of Phoenix murderers and stuff and I do not think that it will be something that Dumbledore will do. Also, I would to see more of Dumbledore's brother Aberforth Dumbledore, Dumbledore only mentions him couple of times

I want to edit this post. I meant to say, I would not like all the death eaters to be killed just because the order of phoenix is not about killing.

Also, R.A.B. could be Regelus Black but he died as you guys already said above, but he might come in memory, yes. Also, they asked the author about people saying that R.A.B. is Regelus Black she said is was a very good guess- but I've never guessed anything that's going to happen in a future book so I would not be too excited.

I think that the author also said that book 7 is like a continuation of book 6 and I think there will be lots of flashbacks which means we will get to see more of Dumbledore.

[Impel Down]

You know who else is supposed to be dead? Obito. Think about that and your "RAB is t3h dead" comments.

[kadodo]

You know who else is supposed to be dead? Obito. Think about that and your "RAB is t3h dead" comments.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean but as of right know we don't who R.A.B. is but if we assume that R.A.B. is Regelus Black we might only see him in flashbacks since he's already dead.

[Impel Down]

Or we think he's dead. Hey, he's the only one who's major who fits the initials, and if Dumbledore can be alive, Regelus can be too.

[kadodo]

Oh, sorry to inform you but Dumbledore is definitely dead, the author said so herself. There was even a website called: Dumbledoreisnotdead.com (I forgot the exact name). J. K. Rowling gave them a special apology for ruining the point of their website.

[Impel Down]

Yeah, I know he's dead, I was just making my argument. So, he's definitly coming back, eh? Well, people will still keep screaming that Snape is good...

[kadodo]

About Snape I don't even know any more. As of right now, I will stop making assumption on whose side he is, my mouth will be shut until I find out what happens in book 7.


What really interests me is when Dumbledore said in Book 5 that there was a power inside the Ministry of Magic that was even greater than Voldemort and it is that power that Harry possesses. I wonder what it is. Dumbledore also said that the only to finish Voldemort is LOVE.

By the way, have you seen the covers??

[Impel Down]

Only the front cover. A lot of subtle hints in it. I mean, he has no scar, no wand, some weird thing in his pocket, and he's in a stadium, for some reason.

[kadodo]

Go on the first page of this thread and tell me where you think Harry, Ron and Hermione are in the UK Version cover

[Impel Down]

Isn't it obvious? They found One Piece!

[kadodo]

LOOl!!! NO, you seriously got me laughing. I actually think it could be two places. Either someplace in the ministry of magic or Gringotts, the bank of wizards.

[Impel Down]

Or it's on Raftel. But obviously, Bon Clay is there and is trying to defile them, so they're running away.

[kadodo]

Bon Clay won't be able to do anything on three wizards. Anyways watch this video:

[Impel Down]

eh, it doesn't work for me, but I'd rather be suprised anyway. And to your original question, I imagine it's actually at the location of one of the Horcruxes.

[kadodo]

Yeah, you're probably right. As of right no I don't see any other reason why they would go there. The link did not work for you?

Try this one: http://youtube.com/watch?v=XGXuR08f8ZE

I think Ginny is hot, Daniel Radcliffe is gonna be lucky to kiss her next year.

[ryusuke_]

Btw, when will the book be published?

(and in spanish?)

[kadodo]

The book will be published in exactly 2 weeks. Which means 14 days. On JUly 21st!!!!!!!
I'm not sure about the spanish but I think they usually take about 3-4 months if I'm not mistaking.

[ryusuke_]

This time I'll buy my first book in VO (English) longer than 500 pages :P

If there's anybody who is not english but read it in english before it's translated to his native language, please answer this: are HP books easy to read and understand?

(yeah I'm going a little offtopic, I hope you don't mind ... :P)

[woody_green]

Yes, I find Rowling clear and concise. Since I was taught US English, I had to look up some British terms like row (another word for argument), snogging (making out), etc.

[ryusuke_]

Ok, thanks woody_green. I'm definetly going to buy it "raw" this time :D

[iThePirate]

im swedish n i prefer the english ones, dont trust the translator, the dumb ****ing ***hole have gotten it wrong before..

Well, I read book 1-4 in French but when I moved to the United States I read the American version ones. I cannot really tell you if the British version is easy but the American one is not that bad.

[Impel Down]

They're all pretty much the same, so I'll just read either. Although, the UK cover is crap, so I probably won't get that...

[ssjohn]

Dose anyone think there will be anything left out of the UK version of the final book like with THBP ?

[LadyHatake]

omg, just saw the 5th movie, and I must say, it's my favorite so far <3333 Midnight showings are crazy but they're the best <3 Will explain (in spoiler tags, obviously) when I've had some sleep why I absolutely loved it (despite being rather short *2 hrs 18 min* and cutting parts, as usual)

[kadodo]

Thanks for your comment Lady Hatake. I could not go to the midnight showing since the tickets were sold out! However, I will go and watch it tonight at 9:30pm

[LadyHatake]

Okay, here's Why I loved it:



1. The cinematography. Absolutely amazing. The transition between scenes through the use of the Daily Prophet headlines, the lighting, camera angles, EVERYTHING was dead on and grand.

2. Casting. Luna, Umbridge, Bellatrix, et al, were spot on, IMO, especially Umbridge. She's as pertly horrible as I imagined.

3. Cutting away the fat. Honestly, Harry was pretty damn emo in the beginning of the book (beginning = first 200 or so pages). His "relationship" with Cho was superfluous, and the scriptwriters/staff etc did a lovely job of cutting it down to almost nothing. They also condensed Harry's whining as well, which made the storyline much more lovable.

4. Graphics/Spec. effects. As usual, the team has delivered damn good effects, my favorite most possible a large tie between the Mistrals/Dumbledore's escape with Fawkes when Fudge wants to throw him in to Azkaban/the entire final scene at the Dept of Mysteries.

I was slightly upset at the absence of Quidditch and "Weasley is our king." Not enough backstory as I'd liked to have seen on James/Lily/Snape (next to none, actually), would have liked to heard more of Kreecher (sp?) and the Black family, etc.

Overall, very good. I think this director did a fine job, as has each before, but this one really takes the cake for me. Love it, two thumbs way up <3

[kadodo]

Thanks for your lovely review Lady Hatake. I'm about to go watch it in like 30 minutes, so wait for my comments. By the way, I love your sig.

Did Ginny look cute in the movie?

[Impel Down]

Your favorite, eh? Hmm, that's interesting. I've heard it, well, wasn't the best, so I didn't know how to rate it, but you seem level headed, so I'll take your word into high consideration when I go to see it.

[LadyHatake]

Thanks for your lovely review Lady Hatake. I'm about to go watch it in like 30 minutes, so wait for my comments. By the way, I love your sig.

Ginny's always cute =)
And yeah, I just cropped a line from the movie poster, added a border and text~


Your favorite, eh? Hmm, that's interesting. I've heard it, well, wasn't the best, so I didn't know how to rate it, but you seem level headed, so I'll take your word into high consideration when I go to see it.

Well, a lot of people don't like it because it cuts a lot of the backstory and stuff from the book, which is understandable. But you can only make a movie so long, and I think people tend to forget that. Even sitting there for only 2hrs 18 mins I was starting to get antsy (not to mention my butt was starting to hurt from sitting on the theatre chairs >.>), even though I was enjoying the film. So it's all up to how you see it. The story being cut down but what does air is amazing, or seeing a ridiculously long film that includes everything but may not be so great.

I mean, think about it. These actors and crews work on these movies forever; if they were any longer they'd never get released and the cast would ALSO be much older (longer to make a movie = more time in between releases = more time for them to age past what the current movie shows the characters as, if you get me >.>). They probably wouldn't be as good, either. Quality over quantity, I always say~

But yeah, how you like the movie depends on your views of those kinds of things ^^ Personally, I loved it and that's all that matters to me.

[kadodo]

Well, I've just came back to see the movie and I have to say it was not my favorite. I felt that the movie was rushed. These next comments contain spoilers about the movie so be warned:

I surely did not like the fact that they made Cho Chang the one to tell the location of Dumbledore's Army place of practice when it was her friend who actually said it. Also, the way that Dumbledore escaped, he did not even stupefy all of the guys from ministry. The way the kids fought at the ministry was not as great to me. One big major thing that I think was a disadvantage was the fact that those people that only follow the movie could be confused when they watch the 5th movie because a lot of the things happen so fast. And no Quidditch!!!

However, I did like how Umbridge acted, even though she was supposed to be bad, it was a great performance. My favorite in the movie I have to say is DUmbledore Vs. Voldemort, their fight was just kisckass, we surely know why these two are among the best wizards. Only the final scnene at the ministry were the best in the movie to me and I surely did not regret these parts.

Overall, I liked the movie but I felt that it could have been better because of what the stuff they cut and changed. I also had a bad day inside the theaters because all two my cousins and my sister do not read Harry Potter so they asked questions every 5 minutes.

[Impel Down]

Well, that can lessen the effect of the movie, so...

Anyway, is Boook 7 this weekend or next? I can't remember.

[rhapsody blue]

it's next weekend. i remember because it's 3 days before my mcat

[kadodo]

Well, that can lessen the effect of the movie, so...

Anyway, is Boook 7 this weekend or next? I can't remember.

Yep, it comes out next saturday. I cannot wait until it comes, I wonder if book 7 will be the longest book ever?

[iThePirate]

It'll be the second longest book in the series but of all books ever made? I doubt it... :XD

[kadodo]

On length... it didnt feel long at all for me..


some small spoilers here so i will use the tag


That was one of the reasons i didnt like it i would have liked a little more background and there is alot you can do even adding 5 short minutes i mean you can cover

DA Coins ((Did i just miss it?? and all this would have taken is 5 seconds

Hermionie: Here take these everyone (Hands out coins) this will let us know when the next meeting is alright ))

More of Kreacher ((At the end for sure >-> i mean wasnt he part of the reason for Siruses death?))

Dumbledore could talk to Harry for another minute at the end

and add Quidditch not much i mean dang even if they just covered the whole King part i would be happy

[kadodo]

This is a response this ssjohn's spoiler, so do not open the my spoiler if u do not want to be spoiled.

The movie went by so quick you're right and they should have shown Kreacher talking to Harry when he tried to talk to Sirius through the fire. Also Dumbledore did not quite explain properly why he was not talking to Harry for the whole year. And poor Cho, they got rid of her in the movie so cruelly, it was like she was only here to kiss Harry Potter/Daniel Radcliffe and nothing else. why didn't they show Quidditch at all in the movie? They could have at least shown that Ron was the new Keeper. And one of the most important thing they did not show was the fact that both Hermione and ron were prefects and there was not even a mention of it in the movie

[iThePirate]

Excuse my mistakes,

I meant to say in the series... So was it book 5 that was the longest?
yupp, weird though, was hoping for the last to be longer than the 5th, would make more sense..

[ssjohn]

Reply spoilers again so don't read if you dont wanna be spoiled



Man i forgot about the Prefect thing -_- i am going to reread 5-6 this week hopefuly ... and when i reread 5 i am going to be mumbling you cut all that out! ....

I found this artical and thought i would post it.

It isnt complete i dont think but it list alot of things i didnt think of that were left out.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differences_between_book_and_film_versions_of_Harry_Potter_and_the_Order_of_the_Phoenix

Now qustion was Quittichi left out becuase of production time? i mean that could be a good reason for it not to be in it they didnt have time to go and CGI all of that b/c they wanted to focus on the final battle

[Impel Down]

Great, now I can't discuss anything on here with everything in spoiler tags...

[kadodo]

Well, you can still discuss stuff about the books. For example, do you think Harry will die?

[ssjohn]

i dont know if this should be in spoilers or not >___> but here is what i think is going to happen in book 7 ((i am putting it in spoiler but thats just because it's a long post for the most part >__>))


The book starts out months later but nothing big has happened Voldy is starting to kill people and the order isnt able to fight much .

Hogwarts is reopened and there will be part of the book where they go back to get one or more of the horocrux's

Voldy is going to secure the last Horocrux that is hidden in where the USA cover is ((I think the UK kids cover is in a hidden room in hogwarts where one of the horocruxes are)

There is a fight there and someone sacrifises them self to save harry (( Ron , Hermionie, Snape or Ginny)) after that Harry kills voldomort and either has a happy ending or Harry dies with him.

The final chapter takes place months / years later and we see how the survivers are.

---------------------
If Ron is killed :

Harry x Hermionie are together and have a kid they named after Ron. *i can hope.... *

or Harry X Ginny and they have a son named Ron

Ginny is married to Nevile? *i dunno anyone i would hook her up with so i just picked him cuz he came to mind*

And everyone is happy Ron's parents are still upset but slowly getting better.


If Hermionie is killed:

Harry and Ginny are together and have a daughter named Hermionie *lol*

Ron is greiving and has taken it out on everyone who cared about him.

If Snape is killed:

Ron and Hermionie are married

Harry and Ginny are marrried

Happy ending

If Harry is killed:

Ron x Hermionie are together and have a kid they named after Harry.

Ginny is married to Nevile or kills her self or greives him for the end.

And happy ever after.

------------


Now if Voldy wins and kills people #1 i will hate JKR and i will fly up with Mira to beat her up >->

But here is who i would see dying

Someone dies saving harry then harry dies . Voldy goes on a killing spree and the world is doomed until one day we see a new wizard who happens to be Harry's kid (( he had some time off inbetween 6-7 so he had a little 'fun' >.> )) and his kid kills voldy tongue.gif

ok the last part sucked but i dont know how to write a good ending with Voldy killing harry and not having it be his kid that kills voldy in the end.

[prag_27]

Well I have an interesting bit about the harry potter movie:
I thought the last fight between voldemort and dumbledore was all......dragon ball....seriously...it was really weird....except the the ball of water thing......but it still reminded me of naruto....the fight some how seemed really weird....especially the last bit when voldemort was like gathering all the spells power or something and let it go and the glass broke and stuff like that....and I thought...the ending was a bit cheesy....but it's quite a good movie with the action....but i seriously thought the quidditch and the prefect thing should be included.....but I thought Luna was really cool...LOL XD

[wykowsuki]

I was highly disappointed in the 5th movie

i didn't think they would be able to pull it off with the book being so long, I was right

[deadgamer]

For all those that wanna be spoiled and havent seen this yet... (sorry if it was posted but im not gonna search 60+ pages)... anyways... book 7 is being slowly leaked on the net as cam pics. problem is, its really hard reading this shit. so I... for one amd going to wait for the book itself or a better quality stuff... anyways u can get it here... its 495 pages... the book is 759 or something.

http://rs113.rapidshare.com/files/43171074/HP7-495.rar

http://spoilerboy.googlepages.com/home

BTW if all this shit if a fake... im going nuts!

[kadodo]

Well, I'd rather wait for the book myself but I think I might check them out after the book is released to see if it was really true.


Edit: This is is definitely the book man, I could actually read the first half of the book. Anyways, if somebody is really eager to be spoiled I recommend downloading was deadgamer posted.

[deadgamer]

who remembers reading the first Harry Potter book????

I started reading it randomly, my sister had the first one lying around and I had nothing else to read at the moment, so I just picked it up and read the whole thing in a day :smile-big

[kadodo]

heh i read 8 chapters and i'm overdosed ~_~

I'm getting sick of it ~~

You read 8 chapters. I could have read about the same as well but for some reason I cannot read anything at all in the first page of chapter 3. How were you able to read it? Please tell me, cuz my eyes just went blank.

P.S. I would prefer you pm me about it. Anybody that read past chapter 3, please send me a pm on how they end up reading it or what they did to enhance the pictures.

[TechnoMagus]

oh that spoiler i posted, the one who ended up on the end of the killing curse, it's pretty tame compared to the ones near the end....the battle of

hogwarts

not really a big one but i was surprised Rowling took the effort to engineer that demise. struck me the most but it was at the beginning. you get numbed with the number of deaths until you reach the first and second battle that took place stated above. rows of the dead laid in

the great hall (served as a temp morgue)....about 50 or so....:scry :scry :scry

that battle was almost 7 chapters btw....:sweat

for those who wish not to read book 7, you might want to review the most dramatic "murder" scene on book 6. it has details on book 7's greatest plot twist that harry only reveals during the

climactic duel

re: chapter 3+
i dunno, i just zoomed in, increased contrast, sharpen and lower the brightness a little. you will tend to lose some whole paragraphs because of poor capture conditions.

[rykarreolacr]

Damn, if you guys want to discuss the book, please open another thread, 'coz a lot of people are gonna be spoiled... Yeah, even if there are spoiler tags... I had to resist the temptation again...

[kadodo]

I have to agree with ryk. I think I might make an official thread for book seven. I'll try to ask on the global mods and see what they think.

[kadodo]

There was a special thread for Harry Potter but it seems that some of us could get spoiled about the book even though we think we're really strong. So if you do not want to be spoiled please stop reading right now.


TO THE MODS AND ADMIN: Please let me know if this thread is unnecessary.

So in this thread, we are to post any spoilers about Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows and when the book comes out and if you have read everything you are free to discuss what happened in the book. As of right now, since the book is not officially out, it will be preferrable if we tried to keep all our spoilers in spoiler tag.

For those who want to be spoiled here's one posted by deadgamer

pm me if you would like any of the spoiler posts from the other thread to be moved here - I don't want to read them so I'm not sure if you've already quoted them here :smile-big

and I agree, even though this is now officially a spoiler thread, please spoiler tag any info just to be safe :amuse

have fun, but don't spoil yourselves too much!!

I think I posted pretty much everything but I'm happy that you think this thread is not useless since you're the mod for General Discussion ( I think) :XD

[PaperYomiko]

yup it's all good TechnoMagus, no worries. There wasn't a thread before anyway, so no harm done :amuse

But now that kadodo has made a special thread for all you 'spoiled people', please don't post anything else here that might corrupt our unspoiled and innocent minds. All book 7 spoilers and spoiler discussion should go in the new thread, which kadodo has linked above, and this thread will now go back to being a haven for people who wish to remain innocent :D

I have not reread the first book but I think I remember pretty much everything that was on there. The first time I read Harry Potter was while I was in class, I saw my friend who was sitting next to me ( he was hooked on the book) and the teacher always had to ask him to pay attention. I asked him why he was so into the book, and he told me to try to read the first chapter. After the first chapter I got hooked myself and we started reading the book at the same time and he finally let me borrow it and I finished it in five hours.

Since then, I bought book 1-4 and I never stopped reading Harry Potter.

hey, can anyone quote what the prophecy said...like...EXACTLY?? O_O

[deadgamer]

Yosh, new stuff comin up.
http://k3wlb4gr.kx.cz/%5BDSB%5D-HP7-(1-10).rar

its the first 10 chapters in pdf... not the cam pictures but text! enjoy and wait for the rest... or the book :D


Moved to the spoiler thread

[kadodo]

hey, can anyone quote what the prophecy said...like...EXACTLY?? O_O

Ok here it is:


THE ONE WITH THE POWER TO VANQUISH THE DARK LORD APPROACHES.... BORN TO THOSE WHO HAVE THRICE DEFIED HIM, BORN AS THE SEVENTH MONTH DIES... AND THE DARK LORD WILL MARK HIM AS EQUAL, BUT HE WILL HAVE POWER THE DARK LORD KNOWS NOT... AND EITHER MUST DIE AT THE HAND OF THE OTHER FOR NEITHER CAN LIVE WHILE THE OTHER SURVIVES.... THE ONE WITH THE POWER TO VANQUISH THE DARK LORD WILL BE BORN AS THE SEVENTH MONTH DIES...

[prag_27]

hmm O_O I think the either must die refers to lord voldermort and the power.....O_O...coz the previous statement talks about the power and lord voldemort...watcha think?

[kadodo]

Are you trying to say that the prophecy is not talking about Harry in person but about his powers? So it might mean that Harry Potter's powers cannot live while Voldemort survives and Voldemort has to kill Harry Potter's powers in order for him the Dark Lord to survive?

However, what actually is Harry Potter's powers? Dumbledore said himself it was all about love. In order for Voldemort to survive he has to kill the love in Harry Potter but that does not mean Harry Potter will die. And it is Harry Potter's power of love that will finally finish Voldemort. Well we will see.

[prag_27]

remember that room in that department of mysteries that harry couldn't open???? in the 5ht book???? not the movie =='.......and someone said that, that room had power equivalent to what harry has inside of him or something.....i don't think this love and the blood is the power that the dark lord knows not...because if the prophecy said so.....then it must've also been known that even if voldemort knows what's in the prophecy he will still not know that power......

[kadodo]

Yeah Dumbledore said something about there is a power bigger than Voldemort in the Department of Mysteries and that power was the same as Harry's. I cannot guess what it is but I hope it is something unexpected.

[prag_27]

HAH!! I'm a genius!!!and nice to meet you kadodo san! O_O....have you read the 7th novel? the online one???

[kadodo]

yeah I heard of it and I actually read 2 chapters already

[prag_27]

oh! nah! it's okay!..... I wanna see how close I can get to what actually happens before I read it...man...I'm gonna have fun!!!;......so what are your best reading environments for harry potter?

[kadodo]

Well, since I moved around so much when the book came up, I do not really have an environment, I can just say I lock myself in the room and nobody comes in and I do not come out ....

[iThePirate]

the best readin' enviroment for anything to me is my bed with some good music on semi-low volume in the background, somethin' to eat 'n' drink to go with that works aswell :D

[kadodo]

I would very much like to have foods and drinks also but I cannot really eat when I'm laying down. :XD!

[deadgamer]

hell im on chapter 12 already :D and i gotta say theres some really good parts there :D :D... muhahaha go READ THE PDF :) then buy the book and re-read it again.

[prag_27]

my favorite reading place is quiet!! natural...actually...like quite a semi sunny place....and on a SWING!!! theres this swing in my granparents house in india!!1 I LOVE SITTING ON IT AND READING!! XD it's soooo comfy....comfier than my cushiony couch actually!!! XD but I can pretty much anywhere XD cept where my mom doesn't let me, and in the shower --'....dont wanna wet the book before I read it, now do I? --'......

[kadodo]

You know I actually forgot to mention that I like to read in the bathroom sometimes.

[prag_27]

woah O_O...that's an entertaining hobby.......I don't prefer the bathroom really O_O not much time to get comfy...and besides....how can you get comfy in the bathroom --'...

okay! something more HARRY POTTER!!! v_v.......I was wondering...about the movie.....wasn't it a bit weird that dumbledore's and voldemort's wand did the ceonnecting thingy as well???

[deadgamer]

I think what they tried to do in the movie was to show a power battle to see who's stronger so the spells like... kept on going... u know what im sayin?

[iThePirate]

I would very much like to have foods and drinks also but I cannot really eat when I'm laying down. :XD!
Really? I thinks it's easy to eat while lyin' down 'n' readin'... A chefs technique is the best I guess :amuse

[prag_27]

OH!!! I think I get it deadgamer san O_O......wait...are you a dead gamer?...jk XD...anyways....yeah..but I thought it was not very magic like.......I thought they should've gotten the pegasus moving...I mean come on.......the glass turning into sand part was cool.....I was thinking that the glass bits would hit them and then they'd all start bleeding but they'll keep going like in an anime XD

[LadyHatake]

I finished re-reading the 6th book yesterday. I'd forgotten how good it was ^^

[kadodo]

Yeah, I finished rereading book 6 a couple of days ago. Yep, it was a very good book like the others obviously. Anyways, I cannot wait to read for Saturday. I'll purchase my book at 12:01 am.

[deadgamer]

new york times review (http://www.nytimes.com/2007/07/19/books/19potter.html)

contain some spoilers that confirm what i have read so far so read at your own risk. the book looks really good though

[rabb]

my sister works for a call center/ dispatch center for UPS. she said that they have never been busier than they have been the last few days (when the books get shipped to the stores). today, going over the river and railroad tracks, we went over this long train with nothing but UPS trailers on it. i wanted to get along side it, jump on, and steal some books, but they wouldnt let me x.x

[woody_green]

I only managed to finish about half of the book, and I am impatient already..

For me, the first few chapters were amazing. I knew it, RAB is Regulus!!

Btw, the mediafire links aren't working, it seems they support intellectual property rights. Can someone reup? :XD

[deadgamer]

you sure it's real?


yea dude, its exactly like the pictures released a few days ago, only those ppl rewrote it into text... they did it with the first 10 chapters b4, now they had released the whole thing. its the real deal.

[Fuji]

Anyone have the entire book? I am really impatient and want to read the rest now. Screw the fact that it comes out tomorrow. I want to read it now!!! :D

[Fuji]

I saw the movie a few days ago. Does anyone else feel like they ran out of money at the end? That ministry was way too simple. They ran around two rooms and the fights were 3 minutes long.

I don't know, it just seemed like it should have been longer.

I read the first ten chapters of that release but I can't find the rest in normal pdf format. Deadgamer do you have a link to it that you could pm to me?

[deadgamer]

[Fuji]

Thanks a lot dead. I'll dl it when I get home tonight. :D

[TechnoMagus]

finished it some time ago....using my speed reading talent....:XD well i had to slow down and mince almost every word leading to the climax and the epilogue...:D it was a bit mouthful for the last 9 chapters or so.....



For me, the first few chapters were amazing. I knew it, RAB is Regulus!!


come on it was already a given already....:XD

i'm quite amazed that rowling managed to squeeze in another magical concept, that is....

the deathly hallows....
with all the things about horcruxes, you reckon it was the end of such a massive information overload, but no, there has to be another one! and integrated with a plot twist at the climactic showdown!
must have given her such a massive headache!


anyone can point a reference to the part in book five/six where

the locket horcrux was mentioned...

in the context of sirius's house?

i'm a bit sad that

the phoenix fawkes (unlike the sorting hat)

was barely mentioned.... :( and the extensive coverage of hogwarts school life and politics
unlike the first six books...

well aside from the

half a dozen deaths among the fifty or so....

that happened!!! :scry :scry :scry

[iThePirate]

there a helluva line to get the book, man, stupid people, when i get mine i'll read the last chapter to the rest of the line :XD

[deadgamer]

book was great. getting the car and going to buy my book in exactly 1 hour 39 minutes :D and reading it again.

[iThePirate]

I didn't get the damn book, don't/didn't have time to stand in line, have other responsibilities, like work and a social life :wall dammit..

[yoniekai]

damn it's out of stock already in the two outlets here. im putting my luck on bro on the other island

[deadgamer]

heh, ive been to 5 stores and found a book :D

[coolitman]

I queued to get the book at midnight it was so exciting and i finished a couple of hours ago omg omg i can't believe it's over...

ps. why would anyone want to spoil the whole thin by downloading it off the internet - that defeats the whole magic and atmosphere of harry potter, oh well i'm glad nobody spoiled it for me...so i won't spoil for anyone though i would like people to finish soon so i can talk about it!

[da_rippa]

19 years later, Harry Potter and the midlife crisis
(read that title somewhere :XD)

Anyways, after reading the book it's quite easy to understand the childerns ed. cover.
Never thought Lupin 'n' Tonks would die, even less that Harry would become a godfather.
Nor did I expect Mad-Eye to go, but he wasn'ät really a major char.
The Deathly Hallows was quite interesting, 'n' the logic Harry used in his duel with Voldy was a laugh.
Sad to see Fred go though, that was a low blow, although it was rumored that she was gon' off one o'the twins, but still.
RAB was obvious but now it's confirmed, 'n' Kreachers tale was really interesting, 'n' how he changed after that towards Harry 'n' even towards Hermione was a nice feature.
The ending sucked a bit though, I really didn't care that much 'bout the 19 years later, I wanted more on the feasts after the battle.
In the end I was suprised that Harry survived.
Snape bein' in love with Lily, I think that was discussed, seems like most of the fans theories was true, in one way or another.
Even I had a correct theory :XD



Well I'm a go read it again, see if I missed anything, not right now though, read it in two sittings, only break I had was when I was at work.

[LadyHatake]

Sooooooooooooo terribly saddening what wth all the deaths and everything ;________; There were 2 or 3 times where i thought

Hagrid would die.

poor Hedwig, Dobby, Ted Tonks, Remus, Tonks, Colin, FRED ;________; and Snape too. and any I'm forgetting. I was surprised one of the main 3 didn't die. I thought maybe Neville or Luna would die :/ Glad they didn't. AND WAY TO GO NEVILLE!!!!! I was soooooooo glad to see him being a force for once, rather than a bumbling idiot.

[iThePirate]

bummer that we didn't get to know more 'bout Harrys dad though.

'n' when dudley was nice to Harry my mind went blank, think I re-read that part 4 times just to make sure it really happend.


How long did it take YOU to finish the book?

[godofthesunn]

Lets see Well I got the book at midnight(12am)... and I finished sometime around (5pm)... Also I slept from around 5am to 11am. But that last bit just shows that I couldnt read it all straight.. mathematically.. if i get this right it would be around 17 hours to complete the final book..

I became teary many times many times throughout the book...and as I noted how violent ans scary the book was.. consequently i think alot of children are gonna have nightmares for ages on this one or traumatized by so much death.

I'd honestly have to say that chapter 33 is my favorite.. hands down I was moved SOOO MUCH THERE.... that today I decided to write a song aptly entitled "The Prince's Tale

I felt there was alot of confusion towards the end of the story though.. like things just happened and people were places yet i missed how they got there etc... I probably didn't read it carefully enough..

Overall 15/10 : I expected JK to pull out some tricks but she really got me at chapter 33 and in the epilogue

[kadodo]

Oh, Well, I finally finished the book. I would have been done since last night but I had to help my cousin with something so, I waisted the whole day.

Oh well, this book was really something wasn't it? For me, it was the best one and the saddest one as well. There was action after action, I mean the escape of the seven Potters, The escape at the ministry, the break into Gringotts, the Battle of Hogwarts and even though it was not that much, the final battle of Harry Potter and Voldemort. And wow, so many people were right about Snape being in love with Lily and I'm so mad that Harry never had a good time with him. Out of all people who died, for some reason he is the one that I regret the most after Lupin of course. I also realized something when I read this book. We know that James Potter,Lily Potter , Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, Peter Pettigrew and Severus Snape were all in the same year right? Why did J.K. decide to kill them all? These people were after whom who could remind Harry of his parents the best but now none of them were alive and no more info could be gain about his parents. Everybody was courageous in the book but I think that there are three people who I thought two of them were most courageous : Harry and Neville! Harry went to Voldemort himself so he could be killed and Neville, wow, how good did he become, he did not die and he was the one to destroy the final Horcrux. There are so many thing I want to say but they not coming to me right now. Oh yeah, it was funny to hear that Ron was saying a word in Parseltongue.

[kadodo]

yep, this book was certainly something. It was probably the best book I've read.
