*SPOILERS*





HOW AMAZING IS THIS BOOK! THE ENDING THE BATTLE FOR HOGWARTS! HARRY'S RESURRECTION! DUDE! THE WHOLE THING WAS FREAKING AWESOME! CANT BELIEVE WHAT HAPPENS 19 YEARS LATER EITHER! FUCKING MINT!

Josh x

p.s in the style of JK Rowling.... Joshua Potter (Me, Yeah I know Potter is really my last name) finished reading Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows in his room at 1am on Monday July 23rd.

I suggest you all follow the same and let me know when you finished too!

[Neal]

I was hoping he died. I read teh spoilz but

HOW AMAZING IS THIS BOOK! THE ENDING THE BATTLE FOR HOGWARTS! HARRY'S RESURRECTION!

Looks like he's back. :(

Also, where have you been lately? :P

[Hitoshura]

I used to like Harry Potter, but I quit mid-way through book 5.

[Wind]

Best way to ruin a series is to have a cheap ending hence "resurrection". The ending wouldve been richer if he died and stayed dead.

[Kitmitsu]

"He grows up and marries you. Is THAT what you wanted to hear?"

[Rekhyt]

Just to ruin it for everyone here are all of the spoilers and a random explosion.

I thought the book was excellent for the most part. Rounded everything off nicely and thanks to half of the main character's being either killed or maimed it will ruin the lives of many young children causing them to become dead inside. An added bonus.

[XxFeaRLeSsxX]

Some crazy people waited 72 hours to get the book and when they got it, they started crying <_<

[Tina]

YAY! I so agree with you Pulse X333

I cudnt help breaking into tears a few times in sections. (DONT LAUGH) T_T

Itszucha miraculous creation T________T

unlike Pulse tho I needed two days to finish it. but fantastic reading!! hope the movie wont spoil it =)


P.S. cant help agreeing with Wind, but wudve ruined many children's dreams

[Lucrecia]

Best book I've ever read. I didn't want to finish it though because then there would be nothing left to read and discover, so that sucked. :( The one thing that I didn't like was how all of those people died. I was wishing that they too were come back to life, but oh well. Violence = an awesome book. ;)

[007vader]

I thought it was AWESOME!!!!!!! I loved how it pulled everything together. It just all made sense afterwards, and you could tell that everything had been leading up to this book. It was just so PERFECT!!!!! I loved it.

I wonder what J.K. Rowlings next series will be. Cause I heard she's going to start another one about something else.

I always make my characters die when I write a story :) Sad endings are the best ^_^

There's going to be a live interview with J.K Rowling sometime on T.V. They're going to talk about what she's going to do next in her career.....I think. :blink:

She probably made enough money off of Harry Potter already, maybe she'll retire... how old is she?

[Lucrecia]

She probably made enough money off of Harry Potter already, maybe she'll retire... how old is she?

Ummm......40? :blink: I have no idea.

I hope she doesn't reitre though. She's got a brilliant imagination and would be awesome if she wrote more books.

[XxFeaRLeSsxX]

She should write more fantasy books :D More people dig them than nonfiction

...Or she could go for some comedy :nod:

[Lucrecia]

Fantasy and comedy...just like Harry Potter. But yeah, her books are better than nonfiction.

Oh and she's 41. I was just one year off!

How do you know? :blink: Well, she looks older, but it's no wonder, because writing Harry Potter, she must have stayed awake all night for weeks

WOW, the first person to make a billion dollars off writing.... wow.

One for the record books :D

[Dream Machine]

What about God, he must have made loads of money off the Bible, the Koran, the Torah, etc... :lol:

Hmmm, I read it. The whole seven Harrys flying, Voldylocks chasing by flying thing seemed very written because she knew its gonna be made into a film. Most of the book was alright, not spectacular. The whole Hogwarts battle was pretty brilliant though.

The Epilouge was cheesy as crap, I had hoped that Harry and them would have done something more interesting then just have kids.

Sidenote: Oooo, new smileyz :D

[007vader]

The Epilouge was cheesy as crap, I had hoped that Harry and them would have done something more interesting then just have kids.

Why? What else would he want to do? He's probably had enough adventure to fill seven lifetimes. It's what I would do, just live happily. But the international ending of FFX-2 didn't bother me either and it was similar so...

[007vader]

Ahhhh Spoilers!! lol didn't they die? :blink:

Hey!! someone stole Gametrailers smiley's!!! What's going on?!?!?! Oh well we still have this one:dance::dance::dance:Hehehe.

You guessed right.

The Epilouge was cheesy as crap, I had hoped that Harry and them would have done something more interesting then just have kids.

It was okay. I mean you kind-of expected something like that to happen after all the battles Harry went through. But it also sounds like there could be another series to begin similar to Harry Potter, like with thier kids or a prequel about his parents leading up to thier death.

[Hitoshura]

I just love watching all these spoiler vidz

hilarious

[Alphonse]

*laughes Like A ****** Up Idiot* Oh Sh!t!!!! I Cant Stop Laughing!!! Darn Fanboys!!! Haahhahahaahaahahaa!

[Wind]

Those vids are so great...LAWL you wont hear shit like that from video game fans ROFL...

[007vader]

I just love watching all these spoiler vidz





hilarious
OH MY GOSH FREAKING JERKS!!!!!!!! That's not even funny!! It's so mean!! Ohhhhhh *buries head in hands* I can't even believe that. How immature is THAT!!

And no I'm not kidding.

[Dream Machine]

I didn't really find it funny, because its not very nice. I would have probably laughed and have felt bad if it was done well, but watching that just hurt my head. 'Funny' videos on the internet are hardly never made well.

Anyway, on the epilouge, I would have rather there wasn't one. I mean I'm not saying Harry should have been a wild adventurer or whatever. But the whole 2.4 kids thing was just so blah.

[ozonez]

The first vid sucks as there aren't any reactions from the crowd the second video is funny because the makers had the guts to go into the store and tell people directly.

[Dream Machine]

Ah I didn't bother to watch the second as the first one bored me so much.

Haha ok the second one was funnier, very mean but still. That first scene with that girl was so horrible but still badly funny.

[XxFeaRLeSsxX]

The first video was too long, so I didn't bother lol

THe second one was sorta wrong but I like spoilers :rolleyes:

[Lucrecia]

I just love watching all these spoiler vidz





hilarious

That may have been rude of them, but you can't help but laugh. :lol:

[ozonez]

the funny thing about the second one is that they just stood there listening when they could have walked away.

[Alphonse]

Running and crying yo! That part.

[Neal]

*laughes Like A ****** Up Idiot* Oh Sh!t!!!! I Cant Stop Laughing!!! Darn Fanboys!!! Haahhahahaahaahahaa!
Im going to warn you for that cos you're annoying me now.

[Lifrasthir]

I thought this was a really good book. It took me about 5 hours to finish. (Got mine at midnight. :P Okay so it was more like 12:15 a.m. the morning it came out.)

I'm not exactly a "crazed" Harry Potter fan but I like all the morals that J.K. Rowling teaches in her book series. This one made me sniff slightly when Harry was telling Ron and Hermione that "parents should never leave their kids...unless they have to."

Overall she did a good job of ending the series.

5 hours? Is it that short? :blink: I remembered it took me a whole week to finish the fifth one and about 5 days to finish the 6th :(

You people read fast

[Lifrasthir]

The book is about 750 pages I believe. But the story was entertaining and it captured the reader's attention (at least mine) fast and kept them hooked until the end. Most books I've read are like a roller coaster. Starts out boring, then gets exciting, then goes back to boring, then exciting, etc. But Rowling did a good job of not doing that.

I always get bored while reading the middle section of every Harry Potter book, I guess that's my problem :(

750 pages? So it's shorter than book 4-6?

I tend to skim over boring parts. :)

I dunno. How many pages are in books 4, 5, and 6?

Have you even looked at the book?

Deathly Hallows has 759 numbered pages.

WOW!! I thought I read fast DANG!!!

How long did it take you to read it? I read it in 5 hours but I finished it the Sunday after the 21st.

Tushimo said he finished it in 4 hours. I was like "Bulls***." <_<

[tushimo]

Chloe hes talking about the one from england lol

[Lifrasthir]

TF hes talking about the one from england lol

How d'you know? Did he pm you?

And don't call me Chloe here Joshy ***** ****** *** ****. Don't make me fill in those asterisks cause you know what it is. :shifty:

[ozonez]

I have the english version.

Which version adult or child?

[Lifrasthir]

Which version adult or child?

Huh? There's only one version of the Deathly Hallows...right.....? Wait, I did see a collector's version at Target last night that looked smaller than the "regular" book. Is that what you're talking about?

[ozonez]

Huh? There's only one version of the Deathly Hallows...right.....? Wait, I did see a collector's version at Target last night that looked smaller than the "regular" book. Is that what you're talking about?

No theres an adult version which is basically just the front cover and back cover different so it looks more "adult" and is bigger then the childs one so more words fit onto each page.

[Lifrasthir]

....I have no idea what you're talking about. I'll consider that there's a 650 pg and 759 pg book.

[Lucrecia]

....I have no idea what you're talking about. I'll consider that there's a 650 pg and 759 pg book.

There's a difference between the number of pages that the U.S and England editions have.


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_potter_and_the_deathly_hallows

Notice where it says Pages where the British and American flag is.

[tushimo]

:O didnt kno thats D:

[ozonez]

exactly, which is why my version (the english one) has less then 650 pages.

[Kätharina]

WTF! Ok i've been reading it since yesterday and just finished like this morning. 6 hours :P BAM (i have alot of alone time :( and only got to read it because i went and bought it >_<)
The ending sucked :(

Snape was cool, but he deserved to die, he was depressed for like 20 years because he didn't get lily. Dooshbag.

But it made me cry :'(
Not as much as the Noughts and Crosses trilogy...fuck me that was a great trilogy.
But a person dying like every 20 pages was not cool.

And loooool at Ron and Hermione, it was obviously going to happen.
random and funny >_<

Snape liked Lily? I KNEW IT! I think he hinted it in Half-Blooded Prince.... saying how perfect she is and how terrible James was :lol:

[Kätharina]

Why'd the ending suck? Just curious.


Its like.
Oh yea. 19 years on la te da, hoogwarts train and their kids. pfft.
And the whole sacrafice but yet not killing himself part.

I didn't like it. Lol :|

[Lifrasthir]

I didn't like it. Lol :|

I didn't like the holes she left. Like what happened to the remaining Death Eaters, etc. It was like "world peace" had finally been accomplished.

[ozonez]

The ending was a bit shite. ooooo yay lets call her kids what our heroes were called, yay. GO TEAM HOGWARTS!

[Lifrasthir]

I found that slightly annoying. Victorie was the only original name.

[Kätharina]

ALL the kids names pretty sucked.
Albus Severus.
Lol.

I'd never name my kids what she named them, could of at least called one Cathryn. Pfft.
Joke.

[Lucrecia]

Albus Severus.
Lol.

Albus Severus was a strange name indeed. But then again almost all of the names in the book were strange.

How long did it take you to read it? I read it in 5 hours but I finished it the Sunday after the 21st.

It took me about 10 hours of reading to finish it. Am I slow?:(

[007vader]

I didn't like the holes she left. Like what happened to the remaining Death Eaters, etc. It was like "world peace" had finally been accomplished.

I agree their was a couple of holes. I just made up my own endings for all the loose ends. It makes me feel better about it all.^_^

[Lifrasthir]

It took me about 10 hours of reading to finish it. Am I slow?:(

No, I do not think you're slow. I've got quite a few friends that read it slower than that.


[qutoe]I agree their was a couple of holes. I just made up my own endings for the loose ends. It makes me feel better about it all. ^_^[/quote]

That's what I did as well. Or more like I told myself I could do that if I ever wanted to.

[Tidus]

I thought it was a great book as well...LOL...I got my copy at my Wal-Mart after everyone else got theres....The line was crazy. I cetainly wasn't gonna stand in that line and look that nerdy. That was downright embarrassing. I waited....snuck and got my copy....went through the easiest check out line....and was home free!

The ending and reason for Harry's ressurection was done extremely well IMO. I think alot of people's problems were that they read the book way too fast and missed out on valuable reasons and pieces for why things went the way they did. The book isn't going anywhere people.....Geez....Read every now then....and go back to enjoying life....Give your mind some rest and get some sleep.

[Cloud Strife]

It took me about 10 hours of reading to finish it. Am I slow?:(

10 HOURS!?!??!
wow.... You guys are fast readers... it would at least take me about 15-19 hours to read it...

[Kätharina]

If i want to read fast i just skim read.
LAZY >_<
But then i usually have to read the book over again because i didn't pick up some parts.
:rolleyes:

[XxFeaRLeSsxX]

lol I too always just skim through the middle parts, since it's just....boring and a bunch of useless and pointless dialogues :lol:

[Lifrasthir]

I just speed-read. :cunning:

[007vader]

10 HOURS!?!??!
wow.... You guys are fast readers... it would at least take me about 15-19 hours to read it...

Cloud strife is a slow reader!?!?!?!?!

Hahaha just kidding. You're a normal person that's all.

[Pulse]

I read through it in just under 11 hours. It took me quite a bit longer to read OOTP. Mainly because that was like a 700+ page book. Hahaha. Still loving the book though. I think it will make an absolutely brilliant film... IF... they do it RIGHT! They need to leave nothing out.... lol... they need to ensure that all the actors get a few acting lessons under their belts.... (Daniel Radclife & Co.) lool

[Lucrecia]

I agree. They keep out a lot of important parts that are needed for furture films. Like they could've had the part when they were cleaning out Grimauld Place and they came across the mysterious locket. That's important, and they could've put in Dobby too, etc.

[007vader]

Yeah I'm actually kind of nervous about them making a movie. It'll have to be, like, six hours long.

[Ringlets]

I thought the book was excellent for the most part. Rounded everything off nicely and thanks to half of the main character's being either killed or maimed it will ruin the lives of many young children causing them to become dead inside. An added bonus.

Childline hired 1000 new workers for when everyone finds out who dies. And as it was surprisingly anti-climatic compared to what everyone thought, say goodbye to meaningful taxes.

Also, lolz dead inside mat.

[Phoenixmaid]

Loved the book but I have to say Albus Serverus Potters is in for a few beating.s with a name like that.

I read in an interview Jk said she is working on two books one for kids and one for adults. But shes only going to finish one of them!

Woohoo! More Rowlings's books! :D

[Lifrasthir]

Yes, Rowling's confirmed that she's working on a children's book (series?) and Adult book. Though she knows they won't be as successful as the Harry Potter Series. I'm excited. :w00t:

I can't remember if the newspaper article said when she started. Most likely we'll have to wait awhile.

a year or two, considering the rate the Harry Potter books came out :nod:
