Harry Potter: The Halfblood Prince

[Guest Miss T]

Have you got it then?!

 

NO SPOILERS! :thumbsup

[Guest the_orton_mark]

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?

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.

[Guest NJC]

Here here.

 

The adults that read it annoy me, grown men reading a kids book about an orphan wizard boy- GROW UP.

Tis convineint for the movies huh?

 

[Guest ahsatan]

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?!

[Guest The Beltster]

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.

So how exactly does he kill him and why ?

 

[Guest Jimmy Redman]

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.

[Guest Anime Otaku]

I got it from amazon the mornin of release and read it within 2 days... tis very good.

[Guest Popsi]

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.

[Guest Anime Otaku]

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

Bisexual Harry Potter! :eek

[Guest Taki]

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

Bisexual Harry Potter! :eek
