New HP book

---

before i read the last book i am reading all of the books over again :smile:

i cant wait!!

Same case as you, I got to read the fifth book again. I did not complete it that time because my sister passed the book to her friend.

I'm sooo excited!!!! I read a part of what was supposed to be the last chapter, although it seemed kind of weak to me... Tell me when you get to it, so I can ask you if its true!

You can just ask me right now which one you saw.

If it's the epilogue one, then it's probably true. But PM me what you read and I'll let you know if it's real or not

*Spoilers!**Spoilers!**Spoilers!**Spoilers!**Spoilers!**Spoilers!**Spoilers!**Spoilers!**Spoilers!**Spoilers!**Spoilers!**Spoilers!*Spoilers! I just got done, and that was a bad epilogue... I still want to read more, even though she killed off some really great people.... Like what about George, does he get married, have kids? And what about Angelina? What will she do, now that Fred's dead? And what about Dudley? And Petunia? And the Ministry? And Hogwarts? And the House Elves? And the goblins? Arrrgh... I mean, the whole rest of the book was awesome, but the epilogue was just not satisfying... I really hope she does that companion encyclopedia like she says she might.

I was rather annoyed myself with the ending at first, I mean I read (while very angry about many of the events that took place, mind you) the whole damn book just for that?!!? Of course I started asking questions to myself about the other characters, many mimicking your own. Then I started thinking about it and about all the things that lead up to it, and the more that I go over the story in my mind, the more I think it ended just how it should. Of course I was horrified at the characters she chose to kill off; very depressing to see many of my favorite ones murdered. But all in all, I was rather pleased with the book (even though it dragged in some areas), well worth waiting for I think!

I just finished the book last night as well... and I thoguht the ending (the ending AND the epilogue) were quite bad.I remember reading it... and knownig she only had 20 pages to go, and Voldy was still alive! Anything after that was just not JKR-like to me.. disappointing, but I still loved the book.

I'm on the fence with it... I like it but then again I don't. I agree about the ending, it wasn't her style at all! It's almost like she grew tired of writing and just threw something together....

I really think the awkwardness of the epilogue was due to the fact that she had written it sooo long ago. Her writing style has really matured since Sorcerer's Stone, and it was about that time when she had written that chapter. I think she should have just taken the gist of it, and then shredded it and rewritten the whole chapter. Plus, and this probably only applies to mega Potter fans, she had promised a lot of things in her interviews... That never actually happened. Like what Dudley saw when he was almost kissed by the dementor, and whoever does magic later in life... And James' and Lily's professions, and so many other things... There just wasn't enough room.I said before that she might do an encyclopedia, to fit in all the backstory that she was never able to put in the books... I really hope it is up to date as of the epilogue, so that we know who all died, and what happened to everyone. But I really really really hope that she does it!!!I guess she's got a much smaller children's book already sort of planned out, right now...

Perhaps I'm the only one, but I thought you were referring to the new Hewlett Packard notebook. Nerdy me.

Oh yeah, nerdy you, because Harry Potter's the coolest thing ever... Haha, I take pride in my nerdiness.

Lol... isnt HP Computer's Brand... Hewwlet Pack or that..Im Potter Fan but I can't buy hte book... i live in Mexico and its hard to find it, im going to look at Costco or something like that,.

Hewlett-Packard. And it can mean lots of other things too.

And Ineligible takes the crown as the biggest nerd in this thread...

I shall wear it with pride. I wonder if it gives me any special powers?

yes it does, boundless arousal but the only outlet being your own hand

That's nothing special!

yes it is! duh ya just have to cheat, all you have to do is build a billion dollar software company than it overrides the "only your own hand" curse

I dunno, I've heard rumours from a certain Mrs.Ineligible that your hand is pretty special.

I wish! She mainly says "Stop that!"
