Harry Potter Discussion

[Otzlowe]

I know GS likes Harry Potter, as well as I, but how about the rest of you?
Which books have you read if any, and what are your opinions on them?
Talk about anything HP related, I 'spose.

(Arg, really not good at making the threads, never sure what to say... but eh. XD)

Heh, don't worry, I'm sure i can think of enough HP-related things to start off a decent conversation.

Do you have a favourite character or even a favourite book?

[Otzlowe]

Mmm... I 'spose my favorite character ends up being Hermione actually. Though, the Weasleys are up there too. As for favorite book... I dunno, I tend to like them all equally just about... but I'm not sure, I'll reserve that judgement for when I've finished them all again.

Harry is okay... but I tend to like other characters a bit more than him sometimes, though his character is pretty appealing, how his story works and everything. I have a favorite Quidditch team though, the Ireland National team, o'course! XD

[Surreptitious Cardboard Box]

^_^ Wow, snapzooorz. My favourite character is Hermione too, though I tend to like most of the characters ... they all have their good and bad points. Ginny's pretty cool too.

[Otzlowe]

I like Ginny also, 'cause she's so shy, and she just doesn't seem to fit in with the other Weasleys so well (Well, George, Fred, and Ron at least).

However, I don't have strong opinions on favorites, I tend to like them all in general, it's just that Hermione tends to come out as my favorite of all.

[Richard El Britannia]

I'm a fan, well kind of. I've read all of the books thus far, does that count?
Anyway, my favourite characters are the Weasleys (all of them are cool, except Percy), Hermione, Voldemort, Snape and Bellatrix. I just love the attitudes of the evil characters, they're always so cool. Ginny and Ron are my favourite Weasleys, I guess I just like their personalities the most, but I think Fred and George are the funniest ones. Heh, Ginny doesn't seem very shy in HBP, Verius.
Anyway, my favourite book was Half -Blood Prince, loved every second. Second favourite would have to be Order of the Pheonix.

[Surreptitious Cardboard Box]

Heh, yeah, Ginny becomes a lot less shy by OotP. I like the Weasleys too, though Ron is mean to Hermione sometimes, so I tend to stick up for her a lot more, lol.
Yeah, I agree with you about the books, UM. HBP is my favourite, then OotP.

[Otzlowe]

She's shy in Chamber of Secrets. >_< I'm pretty much refering to where I'm at in the series right now, and how the characters are now for me.

[Surreptitious Cardboard Box]

Oh right, I wondered if you meant that. When was the last time you read the whole series?

[Otzlowe]

I dunno... I read the HBP like the day it came out, and haven't read a book since then, so it's been quite a while for the others.

A good few years I think. I got the first three for christmas at my uncles house, in his old house, so it was definately some time ago. XD

[Surreptitious Cardboard Box]

Heh, so for HBP, one year and one day ago. ^_^

[Otzlowe]

Ah, yeah... I still remember a good portion of HBP, but everything else is kind of... vague, pretty hard to remember some of it.

Hmmm... lemme see, aside from favorite characters and such... (wonders if the [spoil] tag works without the necessairly being a button for it) what are some favorite uh... why not spells? What are your favorite spells... or, which do you think are pretty cool?

[Surreptitious Cardboard Box]

Spoil tag won't work without a button because it requires a code.

Favourite spells ... hmm, I quite like Muffliato, which is one of the ones that Snape devised. Oh and the one that has the Waddi Wasi! incantation is quite amusing, or at least in the circumstance we see it in, it is.
I may have got some of those spellings wrong ...

[Otzlowe]

I figured... but, eh.

Mmm, strange, I don't really remember either of those two spells at this point... I'm probably getting to them soon though. I'd say something like... Locomotor would be handy, if you ever needed to carry something heavy up difficult passages or hallways (or stairs for that matter.) Oooh, and definately Accio. Even though they use it sooo much, Lumos would be so amazingly handy.

[Surreptitious Cardboard Box]

Err, Muffliato is in HBP, Waddi Wasi is in POA. I dunno which book you're on at the moment.
Ah yeah, Lumos and Accio would both be incredibly helpful. As would ... ah, the spell that Hermione uses to erase mistakes in Ron's homework in HBP ... I dunno what it's called, though.
