I hope #7's even better. ;)<BR/>Happy 4th to you too!<BR/><BR/>C2--Lol about the Dementors! I know some people like that too. :)<BR/><BR/>Devon--Yeah, GoF is just amazing. I just finished the reread for that one--I'll do a post soon and you can see me really gush like a rabid fangirl.<BR/><BR/>Hi Keishon! Yeah, I really don't understand why some people think these books are dangerous for children. They've all got wise, moral lessons in them AND they've gotten children reading again, which is a great thing. Like you say they are just good reads (for adults too!).Jenniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05804281162557876557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22655888.post-54976224845010640282007-07-04T06:19:00.000-04:002007-07-04T06:19:00.000-04:00HAPPY 4th!!!!!!!HAPPY 4th!!!!!!!Mailynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08268088979512386316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22655888.post-58515722926760486202007-07-03T23:35:00.000-04:002007-07-03T23:35:00.000-04:00Hi Jennie,I started with *this* book oh so long ag...Hi Jennie,<BR/><BR/>I started with *this* book oh so long ago and am reading The Order of the Phoenix right now, or at least trying to finish it before the release of the last book. I remember reading this book straight through, didn't put it down. I know there's backlash against this author and her books but they are just good reads. <BR/><BR/>KeishonUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02440138107543487348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22655888.post-42929540434941694592007-07-03T23:33:00.000-04:002007-07-03T23:33:00.000-04:00This was my favorite (it's still my favorite movie...This was my favorite (it's still my favorite movie) but it got knocked off the pedestal by GoF which is still #1.<BR/><BR/>This one is great though.

There are pacing issues that I just can't get past. Reading it made me tired.<BR/><BR/>The Dementors are <I>way</I> creepy, aren't they?? Anything that sucks the joy out of people (hey, wait...my supervisor might be one!) is to be avoided at all costs. And I love the Marauders' Map! Who wouldn't have loved a map like that in school?C2https://www.blogger.com/profile/08260556835414082481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22655888.post-27704435674222211052007-07-03T13:44:00.000-04:002007-07-03T13:44:00.000-04:00Can't say I have a fave Potter book or movie.

I just like Mary GrandPre's illustrations---though you're right this one's not as pretty as the others. The UK cover for 7 has the three kids falling out of some chute with gold coins or something, right? I like wondering where they could be! :)<BR/><BR/>Rosario--The dementors are scary (though Harry gets the better of them in the end). And the dementors joining forces with Voldemort--now that's even worse.<BR/><BR/>I wish Cuaron had agreed to do more than just the one movie. It was so much better than the first two.Jenniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05804281162557876557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22655888.post-80797449210429572512007-07-03T07:57:00.000-04:002007-07-03T07:57:00.000-04:00I see the real villains of this one as being the D...I see the real villains of this one as being the Dementors, and they are 1000 times as scary as Voldemort, IMO. <BR/><BR/>I think Azkaban's still my favourite. What I've always liked is how everything clicks so perfectly there in the end, and I'm someone who gets a headache just by thinking of time-travel.<BR/><BR/>And yeah on the movie... still the best. Alfonso CuarĂ³n is an excellent director.Rosariohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13015659149421085931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22655888.post-55389902226142078532007-07-03T07:42:00.000-04:002007-07-03T07:42:00.000-04:00This is slightly off-topic, but my attention was s...This is slightly off-topic, but my attention was snagged by the thumbnail of the cover - I don't like it at all. Wouldn't usually notice covers, though I dislike the UK children's cover for HP7 so much that I'm pondering buying the adult version instead - but I definitely prefer the UK cover for Prisoner. <BR/><BR/>Apart from that, nothing. I'm really enjoying reading the reviews though.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
