J. K. Rowling owes me

1. They are page turners, aren't they

and no, I am not a literary snob.

I enjoyed the Harry Potter series, I enjoyed LOTR, and I also enjoyed "The DaVinci Code".

Sometimes I don't want to think a lot and just want to be entertained. But you can pry my Liberal card out of my cold, dead hands.

2. every other book is on hold until i finish the series

and i've watched the first 3 movies, with the 4th on tap for tonight.

i picked up the first one thinking, "let's see what all the fuss is about." now i need it like heroin.

6. Try to watch #5 in 3D.

4. She owns me.

I've just started the Potter series again. I have to say, it's a better read the 2nd time around.

5. Inspired no doubt by the Alan Rickman thread... :)

Actually that got me wanting to reread it too... good thing we've got all seven here.

7. He probably had something to do with it.

However, since I finished reading the final book a few months ago, everything else I read was lacking.

10. For some reason I only managed to get my hands on the 5th book.

So I still need to get my own copy of 1-4 and 6 and 7. :) Thankfully since I just moved, I have copies of all seven here. And since I just finished the book I was reading, I'm thinking I'm gonna pull 'em out tonight before I go to bed.

11. I'm 1/2 way through the 2nd one.

Rowling takes it to another level there.

[DarkTirade]

12. I tried to avoid making predictions early on...

but with the whole 'root for the underdog' current in those books I did guess right around books 2 and 3 that 1) Ginny was gonna end up getting Harry in the end, and 2) Neville was gonna end up kicking some serious ass at some point.

And god damned if I wasn't right. :)

13. And of course we all knew Snape was who he was

[Generic Brad]

8. Here's a spoiler

That Harry Potter character appears in every one of those books.

[DarkTirade]

9. Hey, not everyone's read the last book yet!

No spoilers!

14. we are rereading book 6

since a lot of book 6 makes much more sense after you have read book 7! ;)
