View Full Version : Harry Potter #5...
Rockapella722 06-18-2003, 11:39 PM I don't think there's any special "book board," so sorry if this has to be moved.
How many people here are getting it? When and how?
I'm going to a Harry Potter party at Barnes & Nobles. There's a costume contest, other contests, prizes, surprises, movies and other fun stuff. (I'm going as Hermione if I can find a plain black graduation robe. :) )
~Tropical Punch 19~ 06-18-2003, 11:43 PM I'm probably the only one NOT getting it lol. Harry Potter really never caught my interest. Ohwell everyone is different.
DarleneIllyria 06-18-2003, 11:46 PM I just bought the first 4 books. Yeah, done read them before, but I wanted copies of my own. Yeah, I'll prob. buy the 5th book. The only thing kind of blocking me from buying it is if they don't have it around here, which is entirely possible. Anyway, I'll buy it if they have it around here.
vienna waits 06-19-2003, 12:59 AM ill get it eventually.
did u guys hear about hillary clinton being the one who stole those books? :lol:

No, I won't be getting it either. I'm not a fan of Harry Potter.

My, my. What lovely, beautiful language you have for a 13 year old...
Mijada 06-19-2003, 05:56 AM I'm getting it this weekend. I love all the Harry Potter books.
~LadyJess~ 06-19-2003, 10:18 AM I reserved my copy a few months ago and am going to Barnes and Noble at midnight on Friday with my friend to get it. I can't wait! But i have to read my stupid books for AP English before I can start reading it.
Central Perk 06-19-2003, 10:20 AM I pre-ordered a copy from Amazon.
David 06-19-2003, 10:26 AM ditto... i cant wait
Leigh Ann 06-19-2003, 10:47 AM I can't wait to read it. I'm probably going to start checking it out of the library, but, if I really like it, I might end up buying it. The only book I own a copy is book #4. (Harry Potter & the Goblet of Fire)
Kay Scarpetta 06-19-2003, 11:23 AM I have one reserved... I'll prolly pick it up sometime next week
webuster 06-19-2003, 02:49 PM In school we HAD to read the first harry potter book- it's kind of amusing, all the magical names, kinda like in Sabrina the Teenage witch, when things we call 'figures of speech' are taken literally by witches. The book was ok, then became tiresome- I'm not that big a fan, so I won't read the book, it's too long (I'll see the film). I've been tempted to look at this new book- mainly because all the plot guesses and red herrings laid out (a character died- she says it's a main character, but it won't be one of 'THE THREE') and because it's being treated like a soap opera. If this was published maybe when I was like 7 or 8 or 9, I'd defininitely have read ALL of those books- cos I read basically everything. Maybe J.K. Rowling should write other books- unrelated to Harry Potter (don't go the way of wizard of oz and do spinoffs) because most authours worry about being typecast. In all honesty, that woman could probably take a crap on a piece of paper, the editor wouldn't even look and just publish it. I hate the Potter hype- I remember the premiers for the second film, some guy reporting was holding a film reel of the movie on tv, and I was like "Drop it"!

Yeah, same here...my sister made me watch the movie though and I thought it was ok, didn't love it or anything though.
Rockapella722 06-19-2003, 05:26 PM Yeah, I found out last night that a main character dies and I was mad. I wish I wouldn't have seen that. I saw on Mugglenet.com that J.K. Rowling cried after she wrote it. I think that's a little overboard, but.. y'know.
All I gotta say is... if it's Snape, Malfoy or Hagrid, Rowling's gonna fry. :mad:

Oh man.... I think it's Ron. I don't know why, but I was listening to an interview of her, and she said something about fans 'begging her not to let Ron die'.
If it's Snape, I'll definitely help you fry Rowling. Cedric Diggery was bad enough... I thought he was pretty cool. But Snape?! Come on now. He's the best part!
Rockapella722 06-19-2003, 05:44 PM Yeah, Karly! Whoo!
°Bubbly Blonde° 06-19-2003, 06:19 PM I will def. be buying the book this weekend.

I can't wait to read it. My brother is buying it for my mom birthday. She better not kill Hagrid, he's my favorite. But if Malfoy dies it wouldn't break my heart. OMG You don't think she would kill off Dumbledore do you:eek:.
Montana Ponine 06-19-2003, 10:10 PM We ordered it off Amazon. It comes out on Saturday and we're selling books then.....so me and my sister will probably just read HP all day and watch our dog.
I don't think it's Ron. Something tells me it's Hagrid....ugh I hope I'm wrong.
Rockapella722 06-20-2003, 12:53 AM I think it's Snape. Reread the "Death Eaters" chapter in The Goblet of Fire. Reread where Voldemort is talking about the six missing Death Eaters. 3 are dead, one is loyal, one fled, and one "left him for good," and needs to be killed. Karkaroff fled, Crouch/Moody was loyal... Snape left Voldemort's side for Dumbledore.
I'll be SOOOOO mad if it is Snape. I hope I'm wrong. :(
Kristen 06-20-2003, 02:04 AM I won't be buying #5, b/c I haven't read the first four, but I did see the first two movies. They're great, it's just that I can't see reading an 800 page book for fun. School has sort of spoiled me on that LOL. If I had to hazard a guess as to who's dying (Keep in mind I'm behind the rest of you all), I'd say Malfoy. He's really evil, and it seems to me that if Rowling's going to kill someone off, it's going to be a bad guy. But that's just my own opinion.

Oh my Goodness... you have an excellent point. I just read an article on J.K. in the New York Times and she said that it "isn't Harry, Ron, or Hermione".
Anyone think it's Dumbledore? I mean, I dunno, kind of odd how Richard Harris dies right in the middle of her preparing the 5th book.
BrandonS 06-20-2003, 02:21 PM I've reserved a copy at my local Borders and I'll be at their midnight party. I am so there!
PinkCutieK 06-20-2003, 02:22 PM I hope it's not Ron...if it is, i will never forgive her! ron is my favourite character by far...i think it might be mcgonagall i heard!
PinkCutieK 06-20-2003, 02:23 PM I hope it's not Ron...if it is, i will never forgive her! ron is my favourite character by far...i think it might be mcgonagall i heard!
and whoever said that about snape...that is true! way to pick that out, i never would've thought about that!
Swimfan85 06-20-2003, 07:49 PM Im so excited!!!! Im getting it tomorrow, I dont need to reserve it because the place has soooo many copies but im so excited:)
Montana Ponine 06-20-2003, 08:58 PM She said it was going to be a 'big fan' of Harry's that is going to die....it could be Hagrid, it could be Dumbledore. :( Rockapella has a good point about Snape, even if he isn't a fan of Harry's...hmm. Guess we'll just have to wait to read the book.
littleputz114 06-20-2003, 09:19 PM I like the movies! But not the books! lol!
littleputz114 06-20-2003, 09:21 PM Dang! the post has only been on for like 2 (now 3) min. And there is like 30 (now 31) replys already! I knew Harry Potter was popular, but not like that!
littleputz114 06-20-2003, 09:23 PM Oh!, no it hasnt! My time is screwed up on my account!
littleputz114 06-20-2003, 09:26 PM Hang On! My time is correct, I was looking at something else, so I quess replys werent that fast! Or were they?
BrandonS 06-21-2003, 01:15 AM I bought it.
There were probably thousands of people in Borders by midnight. I had pre-reserved a copy, and yet had ticket number 516. It was awesome. I've started the book and at least the first few pages are pretty good.
LucyCompanyPhan 06-21-2003, 11:22 AM im def. gonna get it. im excited. hopefully ill get it this weekend or by next week.
AllIWantIsYourClutch 06-21-2003, 11:30 AM I have yet to read the 4th one. But when I do, I'll get this one.
Mijada 06-21-2003, 12:20 PM I bought it and I'm on chapter three. It's very good so far. I sort of cheated and skimmed through it first so I know who dies already. I won't say though.
webuster 06-21-2003, 12:47 PM I really think, in Ireland at least- that they've over-saturated with Harry Potter books. I walked past the most popular book store in the shopping centre and they had at least 2 dozen copies left. Then again, some people wait days later- some mightn't buy for weeks, and those who haven't been born, or can't yet read- will catch on in years. Apparently if you have a first edition harry potter sorcerors stone, you can get £10,000 and it doubles if it's signed by the author. If everyone's looking for a first edition- which 1 idiot will pay that much? Also- the guy who plays harry potter, well him mother dismissed claims his school-life is dwindling cos of acting, and that he has to choose between them.
webuster 06-21-2003, 12:59 PM TradingMooses- I just noticed your siggy a couple seconds ago. It's fantastic (ahem- note- richard o'briens in my siggy!). I had no idea you were a rocky horror fan- there were a few rocky horror posts started, ages ago- I can't remember you posting. Not many display their rocky horror (In my case Shocky Horror) pride.:wave:

A big fan... a big fan.... GINNY! Ginny has always loved Harry! But she almost died in the second book, so that wouldn't make much sense... or would it?
PaulaAbdulFan 06-21-2003, 05:26 PM yea ginny always did love harry..or that one little boy who was obsessed with harry..I cant remember his name..but i think it started with a C!? maybe.

see as me and my friends were discussing it and it wouldnt make sense if Ginny did bc 1) she almost did and 2) it would be too obvious....
people are thinking its Hagrid or someone else (i forget who they said, but they are obsessed...)
ive read the first 7 or something pages

I think I know who you are talking bout...the one who takes pictures? right? isnt he dead...? hmm IM CONFUSED, i guess we just have to read
Ags2000 06-21-2003, 11:14 PM I went to a Barnes and Noble in the next big town over (about 45 minutes away) to get the book.
All I can say is .....WOW!!!!! Awesome book. I read it in just over 14 hours. Really really good. Can't wait for the nest one.

°Bubbly Blonde° 06-21-2003, 11:16 PM My mom bought it for me today :D Im only on the 2nd page tho lol

You're thinking of the Creevey (sp?) brothers. No he wasn't killed, he was petrified like the others.
D
Swimfan85 06-21-2003, 11:32 PM ive read the first 102 pgs..its alright so far...I dunno I want to go to the book store at 12 next time jus so I can catch it on video camera...haha no offensive to people but it is a really good book, but its sick how obsessed some people become

Yep, Collin Creevey. Anyway I got the book at 11:30 last night :lol: So I'm only on the first few chapters. I'm going to definitely finish it tonight though. I'll pull an all-nighter
If you haven't read the book yet, DON'T READ ON!
I was so happy that Professor Lupin came back!! He was always a favorite. I looked on the back of the cover and I'm like "Hey. That's Moody..." and sure enough, Moody's back! I'm only on the part where Ron and Hermione find out they are Prefects (no Harry?) but I find it interesting so far how Dumbledore is like... ignoring Harry. Especially at the hearing.
I had a new thought. Maybe it could be Sirius who dies? I dunno... I'm very skeptical on Hagrid. I don't know why, but for some reason, I just don't think he will... I'm probably wrong though. Watch it be Hagrid. Ugh I'd be pissed.
Rockapella722 06-22-2003, 11:39 PM I dressed up as Snape for my midnight party! :) I won a cool metal bookmark in the trivia contest! I know everything about Snape, so naturally I knew he is 36 years old. I was the only one to raise my hand. I was like, "OOH!!!" My arm nearly came out of it's socket. :D
My friend pointed out that it could also be Sirius. OMG, if it is I'll be SOOOOOOOOO mad.
If it's Snape, Hagrid, Sirius or Malfoy I will throw the book across the room and not even finish reading it.
Kay Scarpetta 06-23-2003, 02:08 AM Okay.... wow. The plot continues to thicken.
1] I am SO F-ING SICK OF UMBRIDGE I COULD SCREAM! OH-MY-GOD! SHE BANNED HARRY FROM QUIDDITCH!
2] Anyone think it could be McGonagal who dies? I was thinking of that earlier... I almost cried. :(

Rockapella722 06-23-2003, 04:22 PM LOL, okay well, I'm going to have to stop reading my own thread here, as I'm not as far along as you guys. :( I'm at the part where Harry just went to McGonagall's office for yelling at Umbridge and has to miss observing tryouts on Friday.

I'm not trying to pick a fight or anything, but I did warn people who hadn't read the book to take caution about reading on. I find it a tad bit unfairmof you to falsely accuse me of "ruining books for people"; it's not like I'm deliberately spurting out the contents of the book to everyone on this board. I'm just trying to take part in a discussion about the book.
Ewan's My Man 06-23-2003, 10:06 PM I got that book on Saturday and I've been reading it since. It's really good.
Rockapella722 06-23-2003, 11:25 PM Yeah, I just read something I haven't gotten to yet, but it's my fault. I shouldn't be looking. Now I'm mad at myself. :mad:

you posted 1 without warning, so i was all 'what?! he's off quidditch?!' and that kinda ruins a bit for me... but i'll end up forgetting by time i get it... cuz i just started reading the goblet of fire so i can go on to book 5...
Brandon 06-24-2003, 12:04 PM ooh, i'm so bad to the bone! i'm downloading harry potter and the order of the phoenix ebook on kazaa!!

Brandon 06-24-2003, 01:48 PM and, Miss Carly, it's almost impossible to make a spelling error when you're reading one of the books, but you did. it's 'McGonagall'

I know you're not. But I'm saying, it's not the first sentence of the 5th book, or the 1st book, so it's gotta be the 2nd, 3rd or 4th

Well excuse me for not being meticulous when it comes to my grammar. And look who's talking, it's Miss Karly. A little hard to make a spelling error when you're trying to instigate.

-*Forever*- 06-24-2003, 10:40 PM I'm on like... -gets book- Chapter seven, page 122. I reallie need to know who dies, or I'll go crazie.

Nah it's okay. Don't worry about it.... Anyway, The Goblet of Fire... hmm. I liked the book... it was cool, but it didn't exactly live up to my expectations. I think the 5th one is SO much better... especially in the end, because the end is what explains everything. And I'm keeping it at that :D *zips lips*
Leigh Ann 06-25-2003, 12:18 PM I love book 5!! I'm only on like the second chapter or so, but I like it so far! Every time I start reading it, I can't put it down! I skipped ahead to find out who dies, and I know. But, I'm not saying a word. I can't wait to read it some more! :D

:eek: you've finished already?? isn't like 900 pages?
BrandonS 06-25-2003, 01:02 PM I'm having a lot of fun with it. Joanne Rowling really didn't let her fans down with this book!

:lol: Yeah. If I had read straight through I probably would have finished it sooner, like you. I got it 11:30 Saturday night and finished 2 a.m. Monday morning, but the whole weekend I had places to go so I couldn't read it straight through :( Although I felt like staying home, lol
Blair_Warner02 06-25-2003, 07:51 PM I got my book at 4:00 PM on Saturday. I didn't start reading it right away I just looked at it. If I had devoted all my time into reading book five I would have finished it within 2 days maybe even one. But since I didn't devote my time to Harry Potter it took only a few hours over the course of 4 days. My aunt called me when I was on page 300 and told me that my other aunt had finished the book within 2 days.
I was kind of frustrated when I was about 300 pages into the book and still didn't really know what was going on and the fact that I still didn't know where ______ was.
I never really thought that it was going to be ______ that died so that was a surprise.
I found the last few chapters quite intense there was so much stuff going on and so much info shoved into so little time it made my head spin and I am still not quite sure what happened as it happened so fast.
I thought the book was pretty good, I can't say it's my favorite out of all of them. That _____ woman was such a B. I liked how nobody liked her.
I think the movie on this book will be awesome and I can't wait to see how they do those last few chapters.
Swimfan85 06-25-2003, 10:54 PM I am very mad that ________ dies....jus so annoying ______ rocked
Rockapella722 06-26-2003, 01:28 AM oh... my... GOD! i have just found out who dies from being here. i am SO mad at myself for being here. I'm only on ch. 21 so I knew who was gone, but not who died. if blair_warner02's post is meaning what i think it means and the _____ represents the same person.... OH GOD, I'm pissed!
Montana Ponine 06-26-2003, 02:00 AM I can't believe who dies. That was just awful. I nearly cried. So awful. Ugh.
Brandon 06-26-2003, 02:11 AM i can't wait to read this one...but i'm in a pickle.... i don't wanna read it online cuz reading books online hurts my eyes, and the book in real life is HUGE and it would be hard to just sit there and hold it for a long time...
-*Forever*- 06-26-2003, 02:50 PM Well, I know who dies. Karly told me ^_^ But it's so sad :(
I'm only on chapter 18... I wish I could read faster and that my sister and her friends would stop running into my room.

I think I understand what you're talknig about... and if I'm right, all I can say to you is "don't worry". :)
Rockapella722 06-26-2003, 04:47 PM Oh, Karly, I have to know... it's killing me. Is it Hagrid? :(

Yeah me too now that I think about it. I mean, Hagrid was awesome and all, but no one compared to this guy... :( Poor *coughcoughcough*. I'm going to STRANGLE *sneeze* for doing this to him.
But I bet you in the 7th book, he'll come back somehow. Let's hope. :(

we can only hope:) they could have been foreshadowing in a particular scene (even though it gives nothing away I dont wanna say it...) but I thinking you kno when I am talkin bout
Rockapella722 06-27-2003, 07:35 PM okay, thats it. im going to go read... right now. (im almost at the chapter entitled "snape's worst memory" Heeee!) i think his other memories were so sad... no wonder he's such a bastard sometimes.
OOH! I got the CoS DVD yesterday! $10!!! :happyface
Brandon 06-28-2003, 12:18 AM i bought Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix today, FINALLY. It's selling for $19.99 at Toys R Us, where my brother works...plus i got his discount. it's awesome cuz list price is 29.99. and, i got COS dvd first day it came out. $21!!! just had to get it first day...i could've waited. only watched it 2ce since april...
webuster 06-28-2003, 08:26 AM Everone- i don't give a damn if harry potter is spoiled for me- i hate (hates a strong word- i dislike it) it anyway and won't buy the book. Please- someone, anyone- pm me and tell me who dies, please!!!! It's like gossip!
Rockapella722 06-28-2003, 10:20 PM I read "Snape's Worst Memory" last night.
The POOR GUY. I wanna give him a hug.
No wonder he's such a bastard. I don't blame him at all. :(
(But you have to admit, that's gonna be funny to see in the movie. It was funny just reading it. I thought I was going to die from laughter. Then I felt bad for laughing at him. :( )

I know, I felt so terrible! Awww. :( Poor Snivellus.... :p
I think that was my favorite part of the whole book...I loved seeing J & L... Okay they're dead but they're like two of my favorite characters...
I can't wait for this movie (it'll be awhile but whatever). But the end will be freaky...and I don't want to see *cough* die.
Rockapella722 06-29-2003, 01:06 AM Yeah, and you know, with my luck by the time the fifth movie comes out, it won't even be the same actors anymore. With the rate these movies are being made Dan, Emma, Rupert and Tom will all by 30 by the time movie # 5 rolls around. :mad:
