Alan Cumming and Jim Dale, wow.

Two of my fav's.

You have to listen to his Harry cd's if you haven't. They are better than the books. Honestly. He is perfect.

have thought about it, but being read to totally makes me fall asleep within 10 minutes.

Finally we can say goodbye to one of the worst pop culture fiascos in modern history. Yea, it gets kids to read books, but it is the only fucking book the little varments read. Gives them bad habits about cultural obsession and simplistic ideals about good and evil--no gray areas.

Have you even read any of the books? To say there are no gray areas is seriously off.

I haven't even read any of the books, and even I have to agree with JediMaster!

...the Jim Dale audio book. He is amazing, the best way to experience Harry as far as I'm concerned.

yikes. thanks for raising that issue.

even stephen king was quoted as saying he can't wait for the last book. i think it rocks that JK has made this kind of name for herself

There was a video online of someone who drove past one of these stores, with all the kids waiting in line, and yelled the ending out of his car window then sped off, LOL. You could hear parents screaming "you asshole!!". I think it was on Ebaumsworld or some site like that.

So all you are reading this too?

Sorry. I shouldn't tempt fate.

I'm not a huge fan but I think she definitely deserves the success. People are far too quick to cast judgement on her. Write your own books if you don't like them, I say.

This is what I'm hoping for:
-Snape turns out to be good (I'm convinced he is! )
-Sirius and Dumbledore aren't really dead (at least not completely dead).
-Lupin lives.
-Neville lives.
-Hagrid, Ron and Hermione live.
-Luna and Ginny live.
-Voldemort is vanquished once and for all, and everybody lives happily ever after.

But you're right, this is probably not what Rowling has in mind, and I think it would be boring if she did.

Wow, I would like to read the studies you are refering to hear. I know you wouldn't just be making that up.

2freaky4church1 said:

You obviously haven't read the books.

The best thing about them is that they don't represent simplistic good and evil concepts like, say, the president talks about.

The good and evil in the books is always changing and often difficult to pin down.

I'd love to see the adventures of Harry as an adult wizard. I wonder if she'd consider it.

If J.K. Rowling's kills Harry Potter, she will become the most hated writer in the history of the world. Just the thought of Harry dying is making me sick. We should have a revolution to make sure Harry lives. Let's camp out on Rowling's doorstep.

Ditto!!! That's what I want to see too...and I hope all of the Weasleys live! I'd love to see the adventures of Harry as an adult wizard. I wonder if she'd consider it.
