Harry Potter Series

Didn't see any other thread, anyone else like it?

Read the first 6 books, loved them, got totally fucking spoiled for the Seventh the day before it was released and completely lost interest.

Oh yeah, I forgot to add, I haven't read the 7th book, so if you want to talk about it, spoiler it please, thanks

I read the last 130 pages of the 4th book last night, the 5th book has over 700 pages

My favourite to read was the 4th one. I haven't read any after that.

If I had to pick one I would have to say the last one, but that's partly due to it being the clearest in my memory. I loved all of them. None of the movies really lived up to them for me. I only liked the 1st and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1. I have a feeling that I will like DA: Part 2, despite the liberties taken by the film director.

I've read them all except for the last one. But my favourite one is The Prisoner of Azkaban.

My favorite film has been the most recent one, and I liked the last book as well, least favorite book and film was the 5th.


The trailer for te next one looks good, but I don't remember voldemort and Harry jumping off somethin like in the trailer

I read 1-6 then by the time the 7th came out I just had no interest in it anymore and couldn't read it. Funny because I went to a release party to get it at midnight on the night it came out, was more so I could go with some girls I did have interest in.

The prisoner of Azkaban was my favourite.

The Half Blood Prine was a good read.

The Half Blood Prine

What about it?

2nd best book. I buy mine from Ollivanders.

You get wands from Ollivanders Jord you fool.

Was just thinking, are Harry and Draco sort of distant relatives?

Bellatrix Lestrange is Sirius' cousin, and also Narcissa's (Draco's mum and Lucius' wife) sister, so I think I'm right in saying that Sirius is either a cousin or a second cousin of Narcissa, and although he isn't a blood realtive of Harry, the connection is still there, right?

Your answer.

You know what I mean though, they are kind of.

Was there a mad rush at midnight?

The Philosopher's Stone by a mile. Only one I have watched time and time again, quality film.

I've read every book about 10-15 times, massive Potter fan!


The films are good, but they miss way too much out so it annoys me. I was left massively disappointed with The Order of the Phoenix, probably my favourite book to read, and they left so much good stuff out.

Have you seen all the films/read all the books?

Reading the whole series for the first time at the moment, just started The Order of the Phoenix (about 30 pages in).

I don't actually remember that much about the film, I'm guessing they missed quite a lot out as it's the longest book out of the ones I have read so far.

Read up to the Order of the Phoenix and only seen the first three movies, Hard choice between the Philosophers stone and Prisoner of Azkaban

I only read the second one so that

More of an orderly queue.

I saw these two massive nerds from my school dressed as wizards though. One was a chubby ginger lad with long hair, the other was a very hefty girl.

Wow that's shit, I would expect that there would be like a massive charge and people fighting over books

I've just gotten home from DH2, and I have to say that if you've read the books, you'll be disappointed about the movie. So much that should have been there wasn't, and a lot of things plain wrong.

I live for this series, I will be heartbroken once its over

I'm only on the 5th book atm, might find a website to watch the 6th and 7th (Part 1) at the weekend, so it's fresh in my memory by the time I watch part 2 (tuesday)

Imagine how Dan, Emma and Rupert will feel, they've been a part of it for all of their teenage years and no it's finishing



Does anyone know what Pottermore is?
