...i mean she copied harry potter from someone else lmfao and she was lucky that it sold for so much because she used to write on the tissues from a cafe...
i dont like the books because they get more boring each time...
i mean how many times have we heard about snakes, wizards, witches and blabla before...
eragon is better.
like i said this meant no offence

i totally agree with you i got up to half the 5th book but it got boring so i just watch the movies + i'm reading a way better book its by Emily Rodda if anyone knows her

In general I don't read many books nowadays... I remember in grade 6 I had borrowed around 70 books during the entire year... but now I only read what the required school texts are...

Devantè · 2007-03-02 00:12:59

Wow, 70 on average is pretty amazing.

Toast · 2007-03-02 01:07:40

Yes, and now I wear glasses

Harry Potter, as Rora, said is original. It wasn't stolen. The whole concept of Witches and Wizards is an old one and you can't really "steal it". It's been stated that JKR put Wizards and Witches in a new light. It's quite true. Things like Worst Witch? They used Potions, like the stereotypical witches of old yore. A wizard in a book like Tolkien's is a mysterious wise-old sage, rather more than a real weilder of magic, even though they did in subtler ways.

JK has the idea that Wizards are natural casters, what is known as a Sorcerer actually, and should focus these energies they can wield through a wand, generally made from bits and bobs of old creatures.

HOWEVER. Eragorn is just another story like, say, Dragonriders of Pern. It's not original. It's not big. It's not clever. Eragorn made a good film, I'm not disputing that, but it lacks the true originality. Don't go throwing things like "omg not original" about things that are, before you know the whole things about ones you call original. Eragorn has a lot of Tolkien aspects to it as well.

However, Harry Potter books are getting too big and I can't be bothered to read them again. I'll read the whole book in one day, then discard it. The only one with a truely good building of that dark atomsphere I tend to like is the third, Prisoner of Azkaban. 'twas good. The film adapation was good to, especially with Gary Oldman as that guy.

I've only read the first 3, I didn''t really like them but there O.K

chatalot · 2007-03-02 16:51:13

Ive read the first twice, second twice, third three times, forth five times, fith I'm reading for the third time and I've read the sixth twice. I've seen the movies; first twice, second once, third three times and the forth once. My parents are right, I am truely obsessed with Harry Potter.

first of all its harry snotter (2 ts)

Toast · 2007-03-11 21:52:02

The spells sound are so corny:
Alo Hamora!
Wingardio Leviosum! (or something)
Expecto Patronum!
Harry Potter's all a bit too hollywood for me. I cringe every time I see an ad where Harry is screaming out "EXPECTO PATRONUM" at the top of his lungs. Can't they quieten down a bit, sheesh...

lightning · 2007-03-12 05:21:33

Devantè · 2007-03-12 06:14:44

The Harry Potter books you can only read once after once you get extremely bored. And the movies make no sense.

lightning · 2007-03-17 07:56:08
