The All Things Harry Potter thread!!!!

[TinkInPink]

this is a place where all who love harry potter can chat.
so to start the ball rolling a question.
which is your favorite harry potter book?

 

[Sirius]

It was Goblet of Fire until Half-Blood Prince...Now, I can't decide.

 

[disneynutt1225]

Easily book 4, but book 6 is coming close in second place. I can't wait to see how she ties up all the loose ends in book 7. Hopefully she'll decide she can't do it in one book and she'll do an 8th (yeah, right!).

 

[highland3]

Half Blood Prince. It gets the votes from me and DD.

 

[smilingmouse]

HP4 for me, with book 6 coming in second...

 

[Polkaspot]

Hey! Another Harry Potter fan here!
Favorite so far is Order of the phoenix

 

[TinkInPink]

yay! you all replied! im not the only HP nut! (i really am, i dress up a hermionie for all of the movie and book releases.and attend midnight book releases and stay up all night reading. lol)
my fave book is the prisoner of askaban

 

[disneynutt1225]

I also like to reread the series and watch all the movies when another book and/or movie comes out.

 

[TinkInPink]

yep me too! i think i have real all of them about 5 times apice except fo the 6th which i have only read twice so far

 

[marydmjj]

Love Love Love all things Harry Potter.

My favorite book is Prisoner of Azkaban. I can't wait to see how things end.

 

[DisneyPhD]

My niece (14 years old) is a MAJOR Harry Potter fan and she got me hooked.

This winter when it was really boring and cold around here in MI I read all 6 books (it only took me a month and half.)

Ok as far as favorite books go I have to say 6, up until the end that is. Not so thrilled with the end. Do you guys really think he won't return to hoggwarts???

 

[anewvance]

I love Harry Potter too. I take such pride that I have the first 6 books all in hardback 1st edition. Will have a full 1st ed set once the 7th comes out to save for when my girls are old enough to enjoy them. They've seen the first few movies, or at least parts of them and they like Harry but too young for the books yet I think.

 

[eclectics]

The first book will always be my favorite because it was so cool to enter a brand new world filled with so much wonder. I always thought I was too old for that sort of thing! Thank you JK for making me feel like a kid again. Goblet Of Fire comes in a very close second. Can't wait for # 7 to see how she wraps things up!

Harry Potter was the only book I could get DS to read. He hates to read. He was 11 when the first book came out. Then the second book came out and he insisted on me getting that book for him to read. I did. Then, I got curious. I wanted to know what my DS was reading (OP Mom). So, I picked up the first book w/ the intention of just halfway reading just a little to see what it was all about. Well, you guessed it, I couldn't put it down. I have bought and read every book so far. I can't wait for the last one.

My favorite will always be the first book.

 

[becker1123]

Okay, I have to be unoriginal here and say that my favorite is also "Goblet of Fire." I do love "Sorcerer's Stone" though because it did open up the whole wizarding world for me.

I love all things Harry Potter and can't wait to see what happens in the next book. I couldn't believe some of the things that happened in HBP. I was shocked and hope they are resolved or at least explained somehow in #7.

Glad you started a new HP thread. The old one was too long to start reading through.

 

[Alicnwondrln]

we love HP here. I read the books to my son, he loves them. We like goblet of fire

 

[shirley 38]

The first book is my favorite. In fact I bought it at WDW. Sat by the pool with a magazine in front of it, so people wouldn't think I was reading a Child's book.
IS DUMBLEDOR really dead.???
Who will Herminie end up with???
And hopefully Harry gets married has a son or daughter and books will be written about them.

 

[nsyncraider17]

I only recently discovered my love for Harry Potter, but it's definitely one of my obsessions now. I actually just watched Prisoner of Azkaban with my roommate tonight.

My favorite book... either Prisoner of Azkaban or Half-Blood Prince, I can't decide. PoA just seemed like Harry Potter at its best, plus it introduced Lupin, who's one of my absolute favorite characters. But HBP can't be beat for the excitement and shock value.

I've been very less than impressed with the movies so far, and I have a feeling they'll get worse instead of better, for me anyway... the books just keep getting more complicated, which means the movies have to do more simplifying. It seems like very little is explained.

 

[2BigKIdz]

HP lover here. A friend of mine loaned me her sons 4 book set in 2001, I read them all in a matter of weeks and have been hooked ever since. I love the movies as well and will watch them over and over and over. My husband loves the movies too. I think my favorite book was the first like others have said, it introduced us to the whole wizarding world. I did like the last book a lot but have to admit I cried at the end

I don't think Snape is bad, I think Dumbledore was begging Snape to kill him to protect his cover and ultimately protect Harry, not begging for his own life, I just don't think Dumbledore would beg for his life. Anyone else feel this way?

 

[disneynutt1225]

I haven't liked Snape from the beginning - he's a little too shady for me. Being a Death Eater doesn't seem like something you can just turn away from on a dime. I guess we'll have to wait and see if he's really evil or not.
