wow, semeticsister, welcome back to trap17! you might have been here for longer than i have, but i haven't seen you here for months! i remember reading your posts about Harry Potter, because if you cant tell by the ScreenName, i'm a big fan to but that's off topic.

Yes harry potter is awsome!! and there is allot of action and i cannot wait for book7 to come out whenever that may be!!

But the 5th movie is coming out in July and i cannot wait!!

Welcome back!

No surprise Albus has already posted here. I've never gotten into the books and haven't tried either, because they just seem so long. It would take me a long time to sit down and read 700 pages of a book when I can sit back and watch a 2-3 hour movie. So, I just watch the movies, although I hear they leave a lot out.

You COULD watch the movies, but the books have allot more thrilling details in them, and have allot more important scenes that Warner Brothers leave out

@700 pages, nonense, what you do, it take a vacation, and that vacation is the week before the next book comes out, and on the way home you have nothing to do, so you read.... atleast, that is what happened in my case for the most recent book. and i finished it in a 14 hour drive home

Wow, i can't believe this stupid post has garnered so much attention! The only reason I posted here was to see if I could put a huge nonsense post, then edit it into a little one, but still get the credits for the big post.

Haha, needless to say, it didn't work.

Anyway, I gave up on trap17 a while ago, since I just didn't feel like rotting in front of my computer trying to get credits. So, I just decided to go with computing host.

Plus, anything worthwhile I had to say was considered "racy" by the mods and I got warned a bunch, so I was like "screw you guys, I'm goin home!"

Well, back in the day around 5th grade or so whenever the books started coming out I actually read the first one, part of the second one, amazingly the entire third one, and a little over half of the fourth one. I am definately not a huge fan of reading at all, and to tell you the truth I actually enjoyed reading the books from time to time, the first book I read I was hooked on it and read it constantly until it was finished, same with the third one. In my life I probably havent read over 20 books, most of the books I have read were those boxcar children books because I really liked those when I was little. Even though im not a huge fan of Harry Potter like Albus Dumbledore up there I did enjoy reading the books at the time. Today, I probably wouldn't enjoy reading them, basically because I have enough patience to wait for the movie to come out.

Lol, I've read all of the Harry Potter books at least twice ! I love them !! Is there any news on when the 7th book is coming out ?

Meh, I think the books are kind of repetitive.

I've never thought that the books were repetitive. Sure, there is always going to be facts that are repeated, but thats natural in a ongoing series. I've always like the movies, but I feel that things are changed to suit audiences, important details are left out, etc... etc... But honestly, if they made movies based exactly on the books, all the Harry Potter movies would be about 5 1/2 to 7 hours long. Who wants to sit through a movie that long. Titanic was torture enough.
