Rowling had mentioned that she is not planning to write an 8th Harry Potter book for another 10 years
But as it is, fans are able to look forward to the encyclopedia of Harry Potter's wizarding world consisting of various unpublished material and notes

Not to mention that we'll also be able to read new stories from here on after

I am planning to introduce Harry Potter to my daughter, as soon as she's interested in reading thicker books. Right now she's into colouring books, so I've a few more years ahead of me to prepare for the day I hand her my dog-eared Harry Potter and the Philosopher Stone. Woohoo!!

Still remember I got my 1st HP novel from my aunt for my birthday in my primary school. That's the time where I started to read novels haha. I even pre-ordered the last book from overseas, and heck it arrived later than expected.

Wow , nice collections!

I've never read HP novel before , but watched the movies.
I really fell in love though.

My cousin is a huge fan. Me? I just leech from her. Honest thoughts are that the earlier books are better then the last few. Perhaps the subject matter got heavier and the books got grimmer, but I felt as though Harry Potter lost his magic later on - where was the fun, wondrous books about a boy finding out about magic and friendship and love? Instead we have death, more death, and death as a cherry on top.

Perhaps she wants to try something new to her stories.

Yeah... the fun all turned into gloomy end. But that's what life about. We're happy when we're young, but later we're stressed by lots of stuff haha.

I hate Hermione taken by Ron..... well, at least it's better than "charming o Victor Krum" haha!

you probably should read. they're a lot of details that they missed out on the movies.

Her Harry Potter series are just as captivating as reading about her own autobiography -- she is one of the few who literally went from rags to riches, and just by writing children story books

can someone lend me the last book?
i havent read the last book!!!
i bought the whole set except the last!!!
didnt have time after that to finish the whole set...zzz...work life is killing me
so anyone?

How about downloading the e-book instead?

Any new books from this authoer?

or the previous one is the last already?

Have anyone here read the latest book by Rowling. The Tales of Beedle the bard.

A compilation of short story with Dumbledore notes. The same book mention in the Deathly Hallows.

Bought it, haven't start on it though.

where?any links?

just discover this thread! feeling excited all of sudden. teehee...
well, u can just tell from my username that i'm a hell of a big fan of harry potter. i pre-ordered the last two books and was one of those idiots lining up at kino b4 7am for the fifth book.

i'd say reading harry potter made my english more colourful than it used to be. i finished reading the tale of beedle the bard in few hours. interesting read indeed.

luna> ehhh so how was the tales book? good? i haven't got time to read it yet now.

well, it's just a collection of wizarding fairy tales like the muggles have their snow white, cinderella stuff. only the stories is a bit different in a way. because each story got lesson to learn. its fun to read, i guess because its written by jkrowling, she got a great sense of humour that woman.

anyone have Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them &
Quidditch Through the Ages? i want them so badly =(

I have all the series already except this two..
and if anyone's interested to sell their 7th book children edition,
let me know>< my first-sixth book are children edition, but 7th is adult's X.X

i'm a big fan of jkr.

I have Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them . Didn't buy the Quidditch one though. Interesting read XD

wow, nice collection there!
read some of it, but not all~

yes, agree. the movies cut out a lot of stuff, and sometimes movies are just too fast to digest the story.

haha, don wanna support the author by buying it?

anyways, how much is a fullset now, and where can i get it?
wanna get full collection~~!!

i prefer the books over the movies anytime. cant help myself from getting pissed when they're not getting it right in the movies. the only characters that i think are very similar to the one in the books are the weasley twins.

Hey guys.
The next film will be from the adaptation of the 'Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince' novel.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Potter_...d_Prince_(film)
I hope its gonna be awesome.

i doubt it. j/k

still.. i'd go see the movie anyways..

btw, don't you all think the girls especially, in the movies are wayyyy to beautiful compared to what they are supposed to be like in the books?

i mean, i love hermyknee and i love emma watson, but she's too comel to be hermyknee!!!

that is so true! i mean the hermione in the movie is getting more and more stylish for every movie. the real one was only in the first. and dumbledore in book is eccentric in a way thats is kinda adorable, but in the last movie he looks like he really lost his marble. but yeah i'm still going to watch the movie, at the cinema no less. just to show some support i guess.

I love J.K Rowling's Harry Potter series. I am so addicted to it. Read all 7, and yea, not even one of her books disappoint me.

EXACTLY! I mean, Ginny is supposed to be pretty, right? But look at her..!! The way Hermione looks in the movie, it's no surprise most people wanted her to end up with Harry rather than with Ron...

Not even when Sirius dies?

Not even when Dumbledore dies???

Whyyyyyy......????

nah, when they both died, it doesnt really dissapoint, just extremely sad. nothing to be dissapointed about. i cried when sirius died.

let's go to kino and buy the remaining jk rowling books

what remaining books? the latest one by her, is the tales of beedle the bard.

gila semua dah ada.. respect tul

but she did say that she's going to release more book but under different penname and its for younger children, well younger than harry potter series punya reader la kot.

Haha.
Uncles and aunties also read Harry Potter series what.

yeah i know, but now she's targetting a younger reader, my aunt also read them. maybe she'll write real children stories. who knows.

Ya , I think so.
More fantasy for the children.

i just love her style. very laid back and funny. dont care if its for children, i'll buy em all! haha.

huhu...
it is not disappointing...the story still goes on well
but I am sad....especially when Dumbledore dies...and the reason he dies...

wa....after i got my last book from my parents, i dun go to school the next day only to read it...hoho

i think i'll re-read the whole series.

Hermione's off to college!! Yale, to be exact.

u mean the actress who play hermione? emma watson.

Harry Potter is a nice read. =) Once I start reading it I got addicted to it and bring the book everywhere I go, even to school. l0lz..
The book is much better than the movie as it has more details to it but the movie is also very interesting.Hermione is getting prettier and Harry is getting more good looking..But i kinda miss the first movie series: The Sorcerer Stone as Harry Potter was just a cute little boy =p

Soppy, silly me still cry whenever the first movie got to the part when Harry saw his parents in the Mirror of Erised...

TOPIC REVIVAL!!!

What's your favourite HP book, and why?

Mine is Azkaban -- the 3rd book. Cos that's when Sirius was introduced, and it just signifies hope in an otherwise bleak life for Harry.

Also, I love the last part of the last book.

hmm.. when i read azkaban i thought it was the best too. but now i'm not sure, it could be that or deathly hallows. because its the last book maybe. ah nevermind.. i like 'em all!! haha.

i like the order of phoenix >3, thats where i fell in love with luna looneyy--i mean lovegood

oh my. she's mine! j/k. dumbledore, luna lovegood and the weasley twin is my fave characters! yg lain semua character emo. but i still love them all anyway.

realy sad when fred or wat his-name-again died and harry's hedwig n dumbledore( nah i dont care he died, add a spice to the story )

Added on March 26, 2009, 2:24 pmand ginny, i think shess funny

i wish harry hooked up with luna instead of ginny.

that would be a weird couple imo..

anyway, whats cho chang doing in the future anyway? i dont recall, the last time i saw her at hogwarts in the final battle....

This post has been edited by melvin91motorola: Mar 26 2009, 04:36 PM

nothing much is known about her after the battle, the lexicon says that she married a muggle. not sure if its true.

she's too much hermione to be anyone else, not even herself!

I second melvin91motorola, Harry's too weirded out by Luna to end up with her!

harry potter series was something i treasured so much. I loved reading them. I still remember when the first 4 books came out few years bk, i was in primary school i think. I wasn't so rich to buy the books, so i borrowed the books from a friend and read them .My mom did not want to buy me the books because they were to expensive. But when the last book was released, i was already in uni and i could somewhat afford to buy the book. And my mom no longer nagged me for buying books
those were the sad days where i had to some how find a way to get hold of a book to be able to read it. I loved reading especially harry potter and well thankfully, today i'm able to finance my reading habit through my monthly pocket money and also the wages from my part time job

Same here! When they first came out, I had to pujuk my mak to buy them.. She saw the illustrated, cartoonish cover, and she went like, "Why are you buying these kinds of books!" Had a hard time convincing her at first! *sigh* Those were the days!

yeah... same here. and the price wasnt helping either... i simply have to save little by little while doing the countdown until the release.

Now, even more reason to get books, since they're tax deductible!

seriously, my sis hated hp book so much cuz she said it was childish

some ppl said that, including my parents. but i just cant be bothered.

support~!
don be bothered, a good book is a good book~

haha this book/series is the reason i now browse the 'young adults' book section as well nowadays. Even found some other good titles as well.

And what's the problem even if it's childish? We are all children/young once and i doubt ppl forget that xD

Because a great read is still a great read

the movie will come out this july, even though i am very sceptical on how the movie will turn out, i still wanna watch it.

This post has been edited by lunalovegood: May 6 2009, 10:51 AM

I avoid the movie for harry potter like a plague. It sucks. Nuff said.

yeah i know. i always end up cursing after watching it, but i still watch it for some reason.

baik tunggu half blood prince in PS3

Same here! I guess I just want to see how certain places or effect is done compared to my imaginations

true! i guess we cant fully blame those directors or actors for not fulfilling our imagination as imaginations have no limit.

The biggest problem with the movies is that there is no real flow to the narrative and that they are merely a montage of 'best of' scenes.

Also, since the first movies were directed by Chris Colombus who was pretty well known for working with children and family orientated comedies. So basically in the first 2 movies where you had Harry Potter and gang mimicking Macaulay Caulkin from the home alone movies.

While the movies do get progressively darker, in line with the books, they are limited by the cast who were selected based on their cuteness in the first movie.

I find the first 2 movies much more enjoyable than the others, though they are still a little bit too short and too fast.

*re-reading half-blood prince

This is so true!
Not to mention that Harry Potter book get thicker with every new book...
The movies on the other hand, won't be able to extend their scene....
So its a totally different experience...
