Yeah, Pockets is crazy. Took me two days because of interruptions and a need for sleep. I managed to get to chapter 18 in less than 3 hours though, so that was my achivement.

Cell Phone. Got it.

Anywho. The UK covers look really bad ass too. I like teh child one better than teh adult one actually. Mostly because that was my idea. I wanted to write a book series where the title of the book was written on a book hidden somewhere in the cover picture. Not too wel hidden but not written on top of the piture for all to see like regular.

Anywho. Off to fiddle with the rowlings web site now.

Cell phone...

Elara wanted me to revela the secrets to get all the extra stuff, but I think I'll wait off till people actually try. I will give a hint though. Try playing around with the cell phone.

I wouldn't mind re-reading all of them again, it's been so long since I have read them, but I don't think I will have time to but the fifth book would have to be the best for sure

You gotta finish book 5, even if the secret was spoiled for you about the ending your friend could not have given you all the details.

All I know is that I need to re-read book 5 before 6 comes out this July. It took me two days last time to read it, and I know it will take me longer this time due to class work, but yeah... bets on how long it takes me to read HBP?

All this excitement about the 6th book has realy rekindled my love for the series. I havent finished the 5th book yet for the soul reason my friend told me all about it when he finished it. So since then I havent felt the need to read the book but now I do so I can catch up with the series.

Extra stuff usually has some nice things... it's one site that you have to hunt around to find things on... more interactive. The little hair tie on the desk takes you to a door with a Do Not Disturb sign on it, and when that sign is gone you can open it and get some nice info. Also the rumour thing is rather funny.

The cover is sexy, and the Spoilers were even more sexy. Not in a sexual way though...

I found the website very confusing to look around, the flash thing is good but for holding information and everything, I don't think it goes But mugglenet is a good site

Jin, have you ever read the books? There is stuff in there most children would not get, it's made for readers of all ages and it is quite a good piece of writing to be honest.

I remember those facts. I used it as part of my argument of why they shouldn't have emphasized Daniel Radcliff's blue eyes in the movie posters, since it's so important that Harry has his mother's green eyes.

But yeah, I really can't wait to see what happens next... and to find out why she killed off the character she did last time (don't want to spoil it for anyone who has not read it).

But if you guys want to be reading children's books in your mid 20's. That's fine by me.

Technically they are for all ages, they were aimed at children to start with but since they got so popular a wide range of people read them

Deese, where did you get all those facts from?

If I am correct it was from mugglenet, which was quite a while ago, I have had them on my computer for sometime now, I did post them up before the first wipe

Actually no, the author herself said so on her official web site.

ooh, another one of these. I assume that it'll be even longer than the others (Order of The Phoenix took me 3 days to read though) and have some new, secret part of Hogwarts yet again. And if Dumbledore really does have more significance in this one, that's all for the better, I still think we hardly have seen how amazing he is. I don't think this series goes against any Christian rules like some confused people, it doesn't make you percieve life differently, most people will still think "heh, what a strange world it would be if magic existed" before and after reading it.
