Harry Potter #5... - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

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.

)

I'm probably the only one NOT getting it lol. Harry Potter really never caught my interest. Ohwell everyone is different.

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.

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

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.

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

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"!
