Harry Potter 7

[Granas3 REMIXED]

Actually, most of what he says is completely true, although some are only views form the middle of the book.

Spoiler

Dumbledore's Sister is not a squib, but her magic is uncrontrolabble, like pre-pubescent wizards (the vaninshing glass etc)

Ron does leave the group temporarily, but comes back using Dumbledore's de-luminator.

Dumbledore did give grindlewald the idea of muggle domination, but that was through an obseesion with a holy-grail like myth (the Deathly Hallpws)

Also, a list of people who are tortured, permanently wounded and killed-

Spoiler: Harry

Harry is killed by voldemort. After viewing pensieve collected form Snape, he sees that Dumbledore inteneded for him to sacrifice himself all along. Harry is voldemort's seventh Horcrux, and because he wen twillingly to face death, only th part of voldemort in him was killed. He goes to a sort of afterlife wher he meets dumbledore, who explains this. When he comes round, he decides to "remain dead". Narcissa Malfoy is chosen to inspect the body, at which point she asks him if Draco is still alive in the castle. When he tells her that he is, she pronounces him dead. hagrid is forced at wandpoint to present Hary's limp body to the masses, lamenting harry's death to the centaurs on the way. when voldemort is announcing his victory, and torturinng Neville with a flaming sorting hat, the centaurs attack, momentarlyily breakiing the spell holding nevvile in place, at which point he draws the sword of Gryffindor out of the hat and kills Nagign(last hrocrux remaining). Harry disappers in the confusion, casting shield charms on those fighting the death eaters as he goes to face voldemort. Voldemort now has a wand of unlimited power, one of the deathly hallows, however as he did not take it from the person who won it from Dumbldore(draco), but snape, it is not at full power. As harry had earlier taken Draco's wand at the Malfoy Estate, the two wands worked against each other, each recognising Draco in the other. Because Harry had righfully won the wand, he was able to defeat voldemort, this time for ever.
19 years later, he and Ginny are married, with three kids, James, Albus and Lily. Hermione and Ron also have children going to hogwarts, although I'm a litte shaky as to which are theirs. Rose is attending Hogwarts, and is definitely their. They may also have another daughter, Victoire, although that may be one of Fleur and Bills, simply reffered toas "our" victoire. Ted Lupin, Tonks and Lupin's son, is adopted by the, it seems, as rose is outraged at he and Victoire kissing, because that would make them "cousins". Harry jokes that they might as well adopt him, seeing as he is over at their hose for dinner most nights. Draco Malfoy evidently survived as he too is sending children to Hogwarts. Voldemort is apparently still dead, as harry's scar has done nothing for 19 years.

If you're wondering how I know all of this so fast,
Book 4-12 hours
Book 5-8
Book 6-7
Book 7-approx 8 (started at 12 30, finshed around 9 30, but stopped to watch Psych fro about an hour, then there were a few chores that needed doing)

You might not believe this, but i DO read that fast.

I don't know why so many people were afraid of not getting a copy. I picked it up at my local Giant Eagle yesterday morning, and for 40% off, to boot!

 

[Granas3 REMIXED]

I don't think I've seen it at thr rrp yet-mine was ?8.99, half the price, but Asda is now selling it for ?4.99.

Oh shit son, the shirt was true!

that's not hard to believe. bear in mind the harry potter books are kid/young teen books - despite usually having 600+ pages, none of them are really above an eighth grade reading level.

I believe you read it that fast. I finished HP7 in 6 and a half hours just about. :D

And yeah, Master InuYasha is actually telling the truth, so... lol.

Ahh..., but you're not a fast reader until you can read a hundred pages an hour of The Wheel of Time

 

[Andy6000]

Ahh..., but you're not a fast reader until you can read a hundred pages an hour of The Wheel of Time

You can seem like you can, it's not like a lot happens in a hundred pages usually.

Spoiler: this is a spoiler, but so vague it may as well not be

RAND IS IN THE MOUNTAINS AND PEOPLE ARE BLOWING UP -- 50 pages later -- RAND DECIDES TO CONTINUE STAYING IN THE MOUNTAINS BLOWING STUFF UP -- 50 pages later -- RAND HAS BLOWN PEOPLE UP BUT GOT SOME OF HIS OWN PEOPLE AND THUS LEAVES THE MOUNTAINS

 

[LightAndMagic]

I wish the epilogue was longer. Really liked the book, but the epilogue blew. I wanted to know what all the survivors were doing, what their jobs were and stuff...

 

[Master InuYasha]

Yeah, I agree.... Though the book had a lot of unexpected twists *cough*

Spoiler

snape, and definitely met my expectations, the ending could have been a bit more informative. We only learn of Harry/Ginny, Ron/Hermione, Draco, and Neville.

Oh, and sorry. I was almost half-way through. Most of the things I said change, and I did mention I was hal-way through. All and all, great book. I didn't see the t-shirt picture, didn't want to ruin the book. ^^

that would be because Robert Jordan is such a descriptive author who loves detail. He can literally spend pages just on what a character has in their pack for a short journey. He is still a good author, though. It's a shame he is dieing.

I LOVE those books!! Im only on the second one but they are really good. does Rand pull his finger out and channel the one power eventually??

 

[candle]

You'll have to wait and see! I've read them all.

I also finished DH earlier today. It actually made me cry a couple times (and that's hard to do... the only times i've cried was when Cara almost died in Terry Goodkind's Chainfire, and somewhere in Saerry Spape's Not Myself (a Severitus HP Fanfic) I forget exactly where, though.

I remember reading them as a child, but by the time the forth book came out she was writing them more for adults than kids.

The first book is 223 pages long which is a pretty decent length for a kids book. But by the time you get to book 5, (I read one to four and was given 5 as a present) it is 766 pages long which is far to long for what is essential, a kids book and also a huge 250 pages bigger than LOTR, The Fellowship of the ring.

God knows how big 7 is going to be

I own the LOTR books..and the thing I don't agree with here is that the Harry Potter books there are far less words per page...unless that changes in the later books..

I just purchased 1-6 just figured I needed to do some reading..do me some good because I never read. I did read LOTR though ...
