July 17, 200519 yr Yeh, I got it at 9am on sat morn, that's when tesco opened, lol. I have to say that the 2nd quarter of the book is very hard to read, and seems to be very poor, written like a fanfiction from a stupid 13 year old who wnats to be Harry potter. it seems like thing like SPEW and sirius' death have been dropped all together, apart from occassional mentions. Am I the only one who feels like this?
July 17, 200519 yr Ok guys, im gonna put the spoiler tag and all, cause someone said this to me, and since I havent got the book. I dont know if its true. If you dont to be possibly spoiled ,dont read the spoiler. Is it true that Snape kills Dumbledore ???

July 17, 200519 yr I shan't be getting the book. I have read the non-fanboy reviews that have claimed it flabby, badly edited and too wordy. Which for a supposed childrens novel is a big crime. Also Potter for me has always seemed a huge collection of other peoples ideas placed in a slightly different context. Things like Tolken, Enid Blyton and other influences put together with hardly an original thought.... I hate Harry Potter, the franchisation that it has become and enbodied and also the fact that everybody seems to think its great because it is now a big trend and a brand to have and to be cool by liking.... I'm with Y2James..... Potter sucks, big time.
July 17, 200519 yr Here here. The adults that read it annoy me, grown men reading a kids book about an orphan wizard boy- GROW UP.
July 17, 200519 yr I just got to that part. yes he does... I marked out... Tis convineint for the movies huh?
July 17, 200519 yr I agree with NJC, Evil Gringo and Y2James, so I too will not be buying this particular piece of literature. I've not read any of them, but I've always thought they were for kids?!
July 17, 200519 yr Kids books I always though, never been at all interested. Although if I was, I wouldnt go out and buy it, I have seen it available to download on about 10 sites today.
July 17, 200519 yr Tis convineint for the movies huh? not really, they still have 2 ( 3 if you include the fourth movie) to do before her dies... Imposter Dumbledore fest
July 18, 200519 yr not really' date=' they still have 2 ( 3 if you include the fourth movie) to do before her dies... Imposter Dumbledore fest[/quote'] So how exactly does he kill him and why ?
July 18, 200519 yr I'll be getting it eventually. I've read all the others. The new ones havent been near as good as teh old ones. I used to be quite the Harry Potter..um..mark. In year 5, I read the books in Maths. Seriously. And nobody cared.
July 18, 200519 yr I got it from amazon the mornin of release and read it within 2 days... tis very good.
July 18, 200519 yr Im with some of the others about HArry Potter and adults being waaaay too overexcited about its release - its a kids book! But anyway, main reason i cant stand it is that it blatently rips off a book by Anthony horowitz called Groosham Grange. Find it if you can, its a about a young boy who finds out that hes secretly a wizard and gets taken to a school with weird teachers. Oh yes and hes got a boy and girl friend. Sound familiar? Well that book came out, gosh well i was still in primary school so must be at least ten years ago, if not more. ITs a much better read in my opinion, its much more tongue in cheek and more gruesome as its title suggests. I loved it as a kid, and now still think its way better than that boy Potter.
July 18, 200519 yr I got the adult version of the new book, apart from a darker cover does anyone know what changes there are? perhaps less vivid violence. For instance when Harry almost kills Draco
July 18, 200519 yr Find it if you can' date=' its a about a young boy who finds out that hes secretly a wizard and gets taken to a school with weird teachers. Oh yes and hes got a boy and girl friend.[/quote'] Bisexual Harry Potter! :eek
July 18, 200519 yr I got it saturday afternoon, didnt get to read much of it in saturday but I've almost finished it, I love the books, but yes I do agree that many points of the book do seem a lot like they were ripped from LOTR, Dementors for example are a dead rip off of the Ring Wraiths so on and so forth. When I finish reading it then it will be the next two weeks bedtime stories for the kids. xXx
July 18, 200519 yr Bisexual Harry Potter! :eek Yes Harry swings both ways! :devil *Disclaimer - he doesnt really :)
July 18, 200519 yr So how exactly does he kill him and why ? Dumpydore and Harry are just coming back from a mission to get a horcrux, draco corners him but can't kill him (whcih was his mission) so when other death eaters start to get angry at draco snape shows up, avada kedavra's dumpydore, and runs off, turns out snape was the half blood prince too, but no more from me, read it yerself and for Anime Otaku the adult versions are just a different cover. In the normal version you do get graphic violence like the harry v draco incidence and Morfin calling Voldemort's mom a slut. I thought this book was annoying. They rushed the fact harry was growing up, they shuould've started that in book 4 at least, but just rush it in this one
