We're going to one of the Firday-night bookstore parties in Little Rock...plus, we have a copy being delivered from Amazon.com as a backup.
I have spent the last several months trying to figure it all out from the clues in the first 6 books.
I'm very curious to see if what I suspect hits anywhere close to the mark.

Since you're in the UK, you are five to eight hours ahead of us in the US. You could get your copy, open it to the last chapter, check out who dies, and then post it here so I don't have to stay up until midnight. Then I could sleep in on Saturday and amble over to the bookstore at my leisure.Cass wrote:....you're all gonna think I'm really sad now, but a friend is opening her bookshop 11pm this Friday, and they're having a HP themed party! The shop is in a tiny village, and a number of shops are opening late for the book launch...they're supposed to be turning the little street into "Diagon Alley".
....and I've got THE best witchy dress( very tasteful and long, in velvet) ...just got to find my broomstick....I know I left it somewhere....

I think one of the most enjoyable things about the books for me has been that I've been forced to wait between books and think / ponder / make guesses (instead of just going directly to the end). "Judging by what I know about this character, what is he / she going to do next?"peeplj wrote:

Several of my friends are very absorbed in the series as well and it's been fun to hear their theories. "Nah! You're crazy! That can't be right, because..." Maybe best of all is to hear a group of kids and adults discussing it as peers. Kevin's guesses might be more on the mark than mine!

The first two Harry Potter books were . . .ok. The third caught my interest, the forth was truly engaging. Then Rowling lost my interest with "Order of the Phoenix." By the fifth book, she had become a good writer . . . and she shone in the first chapter. But when she started to introduce her army of new characters, I said "Oh, there she goes again, trying to impress us with all her new made up wizard words and worlds. Just when she grounds me in how the world of Harry Potter relates to the real world, she drags us out of it . . . again!" Book five was way too long, way too depressing, had far too many chapters that really didn't move the story along(does any editor dare to edit JK books?). I have thought about reading the sixth book, but haven't gotten around to it. As for the seventh . . . not right now. Not for awhile. I'm looking forward to seeing "Order of the Phoenix" movie, as the books get the much needed editing they deserve! The last two movies were really enjoyable.

When I first saw it I read HPL and wondered why all of a sudden someone had a poll on HP Lovecraft. How would I read him? Probably start with The Dream-quest of Unknown Kadath, a few short stories ("The Strange high house in the mist" and "In the walls of Eryx" stand out), then At the Mountains of Madness, since they recently discovered (fossilized) giant penguins in the Antarctic.Cranberry wrote:HP 7 means Harry Potter 7.

Good, I'm going to need some suggestions for life AHP (After Harry Potter).emmline wrote: A few years ago I started out reading the Golden Compass trilogy to my 2 younger kids. Well...I soon moved ahead, reading later at night, and ended up reading it twice--once to me, once more to the kids.
Nope, no more from him, no way, no sir. I'd rather stick bamboo under my fingernails. ....Wait....but did Thomas Covenant really come back from the dead?!?!?Denny wrote: Stephen R Donaldson tends to run on a bit...
Maybe one more book...
