Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
I know it hasn't come out yet but its only 4 days people!!!!!
I was wondering how many people have pre-ordered their book and how many are just planning to walk into a shop?? and why?
Personally doing the latter as its a gurantee of getting one on the day and its not as if they're gonna run out Plus last time we walked in early, picked one up, bought it and left with no queuing at all

actually, from a non-linear viewpoint, it's more like a big ball of wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey stuff. ...

We have 4 copies ordered here - one for each of the children and one for dh - they each say they don't want to wait!!
The favourite plan in our house seems to be to go and see the film of book 5 (we went on Saturday) then have a week to read book 6 before the new one (book 7) comes out!
I don't actually read them... not my thing at all....

Oh dear, am I the only person on the planet who thinks the Harry Potter books are grossly over-rated (and over-priced!) - have read the first three (third was particularly hard work) and you'd have to pay me to pick up another.
Ok off my soap box now.....happy to admit that any text that encourages kids to read can't be all bad, it's just not for me I guess.

I've read them all and thought they were all great except the Half blood prince which I thouht was rather dull. ds has read 1st one then got bored of it. he much preferred the Lemony Snickett unfortunate events books.
I will buy the next one as I want to know how the story ends but would prefer a paperback so will have to wait a while for that as they don't usually sell paperbacks straight away.
No doubt by Sunday, someone will have read it and the conclusion will be in all the newspapers/on the radio etc anyway.
I heard on radio 1 yesterday (Scott Mills) that some duffers have taken a week off work just to sit at home and read the book .
Hmmmmm, they really need to get out more!

Nope....no one in my house read anymore other than the 1st one and they also think the films are pretty rubbish Lord Of The Rings anytime over HP.flipside wrote:Oh dear, am I the only person on the planet who thinks the Harry Potter books are grossly over-rated (and over-priced!)
With great power there comes great responsibility.
