Harry Potter

[OBB]

So GOBB got me started reading the books, and I just finished up The Prisoner of Azkaban at 4 AM this morning, because I just had to finish it. I'm really liking the entire series, because I find that far from being strictly kids books, there's a great deal of darkness in them. They kind of remind me of Roald Dahl books to that extent - it's not all nicey nice magical garbage.

You!  I was up till 3am reading X-Wing: Rogue Squadron by Micheal Stackpole and playing X-Wing: Alliance because it got me all hyped! 

Sooo.... how's the sex?

They do get darker, though I feel like they've been a bit too repetitive.  I'm hoping she breaks the mold a bit with the last two.

Another suggestion for good dark reading that is intended for a younger audience is the His Dark Materials Trilogy by Philip Pullman (The Golden Compass / The Subtle Knife / The Amber Spyglass ). It's intended audience is late teens but it would be hard for me to recommend these books to anyone but adults. It is a great read though.

those are *great* books! very different from HP of course - they seem to have appeared at about the same time, which was unfortunate, since HDM got lost in the HP hype.

i love HP and am looking forward to spending an entire weekend reading the new one, but i've been eyeing HDM on my shelves and thinking it's about time for a re-read. super books.

and no - i'd not really recommend them for that many kids.

[ReBurn]

Am I the only person ever that doesn't like Harry Potter?

[Beefy]

I have all the HDM books and have never read them.  Big surprise.

Hollywood is, of course, preparing to "adapt the magic" of them.

[Gamplayerx]

I've never read the books, but I like the movies.

I've only seen one movie and I wasn't impressed.

[kelbel]

Great Great Books. I  cannot put down number six and that is why I am really quiet right now. I am at chapter 18 and enjoying what I am reading.

I just finished 6.  When's the next one come out??

Yeah!  I was left hanging after Hermione told Ron she is pregnant, Harry was castrated at the hands of Crabbe, and Hagrid found out that he is actually Dumbledore's son.


Oh yeah, and Neville found a lump on Prof. McGonagall's breast.


NEXT BOOK NOW PLEASE

Oh don't worry- I'll gather that up and remove it first.

[Alice]

Oh God no.

I won't go into all my reasons for disliking it, as I don't want to piss off people that like it.  Harry Potter is a REALLY sensitive subject for people I'm finding out.  But I despise Harry Pooter and J.K. Rowling.

[cnamon]

I am not a fan either...doesn't appeal to me.  I am glad I am not alone.

[Jessie]

I don't like it because it turns our children into devil worshipers.

[Gamplayerx]

I don't like it because it turns our children into devil worshipers.

Next thing you know, they'll be thinking that families come in all shapes, sizes, colors and religions.  *shudder*

[Alice]

Can a Harry Potter fan answer this for me...

Why is it such a sensitive topic?  Is it a religion?  I could walk up to a girl and tell her I was planning on stealing her boyfriend from her and she'd get pissed and probably call me a bitch.  If she was a Harry Potter fan and I told her how stupid I thought the books were, she'd start beating the crap out of me.

There is a diference between attacking a book and saying you don't appreciate it. My mother in law can't get into the series for reasons she is quite able to articulate. But she doesn't call the books stupid.

I don't know.  I'm not that obsessed. 

I think it really has to do with the fact that for the first time in a LONG time there is something that kids and adults can agree upon- something not crap that kids can read and get excited about, and something adults get a kick out of too.  I read the book YESTERDAY.  Ursus read it LAST NIGHT.  (he's just now finishing it up)  We'll give it to Tim next.

It's quality material that shows kids they can do things, not just magic things- it really does focus on intelligence and friendship.  And it does it in a more realistic way than those stupid Saturday morning cartoons.  (Oh yeah- well I play my blue eyed white dragon card to wipe out your purple nosed hornblatt)  The friends have to stick together and depend on each other to make it through the trials they face.

Have you read any of it?  They really do keep getting better as they get longer.  You could probably whip through the first one in an evening.  I'd say avoid the movies though.  The first two are pretty much dreck, the third one is the best of the bunch so far.

All I can say is that I don't get upset when somebody says they hate it.  My eyes glaze over and I stop listening, because I assume you're another one of the fundamentalists walking up to my counter with their soap box.  I've lost count of them at this point. 

I don't care why someone objects to a certain book, I just object to them making it an issue with me just because I sell books.

Well said.

Saying you don't care for it is fine.  But saying you hate it or calling it stupid is a bit more.  If the books are so horrible, what must that say about the legions that enjoy them.  I think the harsh reactions people get are because of the harsh attacks that get dished out.

I try and save my hatred for people like Tom DeLay, not fictional books that encourage kids to read.

I can articulate the hell out of why I don't like the books.  But if someone said that they thought Imajica was stupid, or any other books that I adore - I would never get pissed off about it.  And people genuinely get upset when I tell them the reasons why I don't care for them.  

And yes, I have read 2 of them.  The first one out of curiosity.  The second one because I thought the first one was horrid and my friend told me the second one was much better... so she bought me a copy.  

Again, I think it's great you guys like it.  I have no problems with it - and I can understand why.  They just aren't for me.  I am not confused as to why people like them, but I am confused as to why they are such a sensitive topic for people 21+.

Well, if we're discussing the 21+ crowd, that one I know a little about from experiences with customers.  It's considered a children's book, and people get defensive because they think you're about to accuse them of reading a "kid's book."

An excellent illustration of this is that the British publisher had to release a children's cover and an adult cover because people were embarrassed to be seen reading it in public.

I'm going to hazard a guess that most adults wouldn't be caught dead reading a kids' book, so they have to reinforce their interest in this set.  Sometimes vehemently.

Actually, in all seriousness, they're still issuing multiple covers....

Ahhh, okay - that makes more sense to me.  I mean, it is a kid's book - but that's not why I don't care for it.  For fuck's sake I read Alice In Wonderland almost every month... and Thief of Always.  Both are kids books.  So it never occurred to me that would be the reason - but that makes a lot of sense.

I read kid's books all the time, and I don't even try to justify it by saying that it's my job.  There are some good ones out there.  But tell an adult customer that they're looking for a children's book or a teen customer that it's a "young readers" book, and you can see them flush.  That's why we had to rename the teen section to "Teens."

Wow.  See- I'll wear "house colors" to the movies, I'll dress up my kids at Halloween, but it would take a hellova costume party invite to make me dress up like a character from the book.

That second one is something Nikki got last halloween, a sleeveless black dress thing and that sparkly blue thing to go over it.  it has  a spiders and spiderwebs pattern in the blue shiny stuff.

Yeah, unfortunately I didn't have the chance to pretty up as much as last time.  I'm sure the facial hair has a strange effect on the overall strange image, too.

I still haven't started it.

[dazie]

I still haven't started it.

aack.  I thought I was bad by not starting it until last week.

READ IT!  I want to know what you think of it.

[nishi]

man. i finished it the sunday morning after it was released. how can you stand waiting? i'm terrible at waiting.

[ignom]

I keep starting books and not finishing them, or even getting 1/4 through them before the TV or internet distracts me.

[nishi]

i usually read a lot, but this summer i've been plowing through books like some kind of maniac. i'm reading everything like it's harry potter. i just finished Winds of War and then War and Remembrance, and then last weekend read another novel called The Little Friend which was good but incredibly bleak.

i've come to the conclusion that it's not that i don't like tv. it's that i actually can't watch tv. it makes me anxious, i keep wanting to do something else. i totally understand people who do stuff like knit and watch tv. that i could maybe do. except i don't know how to knit.

[ignom]

I have the TV on all the time, and I never know what's going on. There was a Robert Redford and George Segal movie on the other day, and I would notice it every 20 minutes or so.

That said, I still can't focus on reading. Part of the problem is that I need glasses pretty bad.

[ursus]

I thought it was a decent book, one of the better in the series.


...And I don't mind if someone doesn't like the series, I thought the first two movies were shit, but I still speak with people who loved them...

BTW, our daughter is reading from the "Magic Treehouse" series. She likes them (which is cool) but they have some of the worst mechanics I've ever seen. ("Worst sentence structure. Ever." ...or similar) I wish Theodore Geisel was still kicking...

they should take note of Chasing Amy and attempt a 3 way.  that way ron can have hermione, harry can have hermione and hermoine can have ron... because of that sexual tension that he harbors because ron wants what harry can easily have but says he doesnt want.

Okay, finally, here my thoughts:

Harry is progressing nicely as a character, as is Malfoy and perhaps Ginny.  Ron and Hermoine are not growing or changing one little bit.

The best part of the book for me was the fleshing out of Voldemort, who desperately needed it.

The story didn't have the thrust of the others.  I was glad that the school year minutae took a back seat this time, but this one didn't seem have the narrative drive of the others (this may be because I already knew what the conclusion was, however).

I like how this one will cross directly over with the next book, as well as how it ties earlier books into a larger scheme.  Smart move.

The big ending: how dumb are we supposed to be?  The whole thing was obviously a set-up.  She even recreates it for us step by step so that next time, when she reveals it was all a big fake-out, we all go scrambling back to this book to figure out the exact moment we were doublecrossed.  She has done this before in previous installments, and so her writing makes her intentions predictable.

The only part of the whole "sad" affair was the song of the phoenix.

The ultimate reveal of the identity of the Half-Blood Prince was not only abrupt, but seemed downright unimportant.  Why was that the name of the book?  Why not Harry Potter and the Seven Horcruxes?  And why would the Half-Blood Prince have left their book out like that in the first place?

I hope Harry knocks Ginny up in the next installment.

[sapphirehart]

I agree.  I am interested, however, to see the explanation of said fake out.

The only part of the whole "sad" affair was the song of the phoenix.

I thought the part where Hagrid was carrying the burden was sadder- that's where I really lost it.

EXACTLY.  GOD that annoyed me.  Honestly- what a lame red herring.  It didn't even make a whole lot of sense- I had to go back and re-read a few times in a few places, and I'm still not convinced it was a logical progression.

I hope Harry knocks Ginny up in the next installment.

Nah.  Ron should.  Keep the blood pure and all.

[Kristine]

Mallrats is my absolute favorite.. but I also have sentimental reasons for it being so...

~~~~

You're right about the title.  Half-Blood Prince wasn't important--yet.  Maybe it will matter in 7.  Plus, he has that whole thing going with Malfoy and the promise.  Maybe something more interesting will occur?

Snape left the book in the potions cabinet, where it's usually locked--but he also knows that in book 1 Harry got into the cabinet, so perhaps Snape left it there intentionally for Harry to find in order to further his "education" of the more dark arts.

Ron did advance a wee bit more... he finally kissed someone.  Harry has changed the most through all the books, but that's to be expected.

For 7 I think Hogwarts will be closed down completely and Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ginny, Luna, and Neville will be the new Order of the Phoenix and they will continue Defense Against the Dark Arts over the summer holiday and they will take control of the Order.  They will not return to school, they will take part in the all out war against Voldemort and the Deatheaters.... they will hunt for the horcruxes... one of them, I believe, is at the Order HQ and the house elf has it.  The locket. Anyway, Harry will clue in the scoobie gang there about the horcruxes and they will search and search.  There will be conflict about the old Order and the new Order. 

Perhaps 7's title will be about the horcruxes... anyway, I'm gonna have to read 6 again soon, to remember everything...  I do so love the HP books!!

I think so.. the lead character is 36 and talks a bit about her ex-boyfriend... and so far there's another character named Jack Schitt.  So I think it's skewed towards adults.  Wait, I know it is, 'cause I read an article that said he also writes childrens books... like a kid detective that has to solve the murder of Humpty Dumpty--was he pushed, or did he fall?? 

I think it's really great that the author references all sorts of poets and novelists and the entire town has 100's of John Miltons and Percy Shelleys and basically the stories involve jumping into and out of situations that involve fictional characters inside of books... while Thursday Next solves crimes.

So far, pretty cheeky!

no, its not a set up.  hes really dead.  im sorry, but what did dumbledore always say?  he trusts snape implicitly.  sorry, teh only time you trust someone that much is when you trust them to double cross you.  dumbledore was getting old, knew his time was coming.
