Yes, I'm a geek. But the HP books are just addicting and full of surprises. Still at least 6-7 months before it comes out.

I remember during the day that the new Harry Potter book finally arrived in Toronto, and guys were walking around with shirts saying "Dumbledore dies on page *insert page number*".

Nothing against you personally matt, more of a gripe of a person who uses this to justify why they dont read/watch "kids" stuff. But i hate statements like this. Why do we outgrow the classic stories? Why do we have to outgrow enjoyment of Good versus evil or stories of friendship, or humorous anecdotes? I just dont get it. Sure the writing may not be academic but hell, i enjoy the stories, they give me entertainment. It doesnt make me less intelligent that i enjoy a good basic story once in awhile.

I will admit right now: yes i read Harry Potter. Yes i watch spongebob (of which the movie was fucking hilarious), and there are few if any animated major movies in the past year i havent seen. They have all given me enjoyable entertainment for substantial time. Sure it may have been silly, but what happened to nostalgia? what happened to remembering what its like to be a kid and being able to appreciate it?

I know plenty of adults who read Harry Potter, and while I've never touched one, I do enjoy the movies, and am looking forward to the next one.

I liked the movies, but there's no way in hell you could get me to sit down and read one of those books.

If you only watch the movie, you miss a LOT...
I know they can't fit the whole plot of HP into a movie, but they leave out some important details.

I'm hardly a fan at all, but when the new book comes around i have to say i will read it and i will enjoy it, they are very addictive books, but i dont like the movies at all, the books are so some much more gripping....
Can't say im looking forward to it, infact i completely forgot there was another one coming out, but good to know, my mum should be happy i think.... she reads it before me (Y)

EDIT: Pretty strange name in my opinion: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

you should read them because a lots a details are missing in the movie and most of them are useful to understand the whole story

BTW

You can all already order the book on internet:
