umm...conversation starter!!(sorry I just thought of this...) I might have already said this though...

VDT and Deathly Hallows- Seven Swords, Seven Horocruxes? hmmm.....
 
The number of horcruxes was intended by Voldy to be six so that his soul was in seven parts. He knew that the number 7 was supposed to be magical in the wizarding world.

yes, I know, and the writers of VDT knew that too....I think it's kind of funny....and the sword turn BLUE!!!:eek: that's such an original idea!:p
 
I would love to see other books of Harry Potter but of other characters and their perspectives. I would love to read more of Hermione's backstory and her life before Hogwarts. I just don't want to read about it in the encyclopedia.

That would be interesting. I wonder if JKR ever considered doing that.

Awesome! I would too! Tales of Beedle the Bard is fantastic too! I'm glad that they released it where the public could buy it. If not I would've been wondering how all of those stories were. Fantastic Beasts and Quidditch Through The Ages are both fantastic books. Plus all 7 of the Harry Potter books which are beyond phenomenal.
 
I guess I am not a true HP fanatic -- I have only read the 7 books and none of the other stuff. I did have a spirited argument with my brother about the title of "Tales of Beedle" when it came out ... I had it all wrong, and he was right after all. He bought it and read it, I think he liked it.

There's different kinds of fans in any fandoms. I was really an extreme Harry Potter fan when I first started reading the books and going to see the movies when they came out. Anything that was Harry Potter related I had to get official or not.

Well, I still love Harry Potter! Need to watch the last movie again soon but I find it so difficult, it alway makes me so sad :(

Awesome! So do I! Harry Potter is my favorite book series. It is the series that I love beyond any other and it will always be in the number 1 spot of my favorite book series. The fandom was one that I have been a big part of all of the years the series was around and I still am.
 
I love all the books too, and mostly the movies, although sometimes it makes me mad that they truncated the stories so bad in the movies. I don't own the movies though. I hope to get the complete set for my birthday at the end of this year ...
 
The books are all pretty amazing. The movies....well, I like some of them better than others. I don't really hate any of them, although I do dislike the fourth quite a bit.
 
I love the books better than the movies, of course. I always do. The movies are brilliantly done, I love every one of them. The last one is sad, I cried.
 
I've always preferred the books, and I think that has a lot to do with how much I read them as a young kid. I don't really remember what age I started them, but they were definitely one of the first series that I really got into. I didn't start watching the movies until a few years ago. I think they are well made, but they just don't live up to the "magic" of the books (no pun intended). As a kid, I was drawn in by the playfulness of the story... but when I started watching the movies, I realized that they were taking a much "darker" and more serious route. That kind of took the fun out of it for me.
 
I agree with you. The movies do take out a lot of what is fun about the books. I am always that way with movie adaptations, because they will never live up to the books are or how I perceive them. After I saw OOTP get made into a movie I told a lot of people that I never wanted the books to made into movies ever again. The books have a magical quality about them that the movies never will have.
 
I agree that she should. She helped kids get away from tv and video games, and discover the joy of reading and broadening their minds and imagination. Because of Harry Potter other fantastic book series flourished.
