    Any JK Rowling / Harry Potter fans there?

    Hi,

    I see JKR being mentioned occasionally in the 'Favourite books' topic. Can we discuss more about Rowling's classic series and Harry Potter characters?

    Now that, the first 3 books have been made into movies and fourth one is releasing this November, we can discuss about the movies as well.

    I know Blahblah is a fan of Rowling. Anybody else? Share yr favourite quotes, scenes, your predictions on how the series will end ( will Harry survive!!) , who will marry who et al.

    Count me in!
    I love Harry Potter and have read all the books a few times each. Have queued up to watch the movies too. The first one was incredible. Was fun seeing visuals of what we had imagined from the book.

    The second time around, we knew what to expect, so it was less thrilling. Many were saying the third was better - I dont know about that.

    Now waiting fro Half Blood Prince and the 4th movie. Cant imagine how the very thick book is going to be condensed into a 2.5 hour movie!

    Hi NOV,

    Thx for joining in. By the way, yr avtaar reminds me of 'Mirror of Erised'. What does it mean actually?

    As you said, the first 2 movies were very faithful adaptations of the books but you must watch the 3 rd one which was very different and visually rich. ( The Official DVD is also out).

    JKR's publishers have announced that the 6th book is 672 pages long and will have 30-31 chapters. That wil make a good, long read.

    I have read each of the book atleast 5 times and every time I find something new in them. 8)

    How do you think JK will end the series? Will Harry survive? Who is yr favourite character and why??

    Can't say who my favourite character is!May be I have to decide between Dumbledore and Hermione.
    The series will probably end with both Voldemort and Dumbledore dying and Harry becoming an Auror or the Defence Against Dark Arts teacher at Hogwarts.

    I too am a HP and JKR fan. And like most of u have read all her books and yes repeatedly.
    My Fav char is Ron. Some how he seems very real to me, so my heart just goes out to him.
    As for the how the series wil end no doubt Harry will kill Vol ( u know who ) , like - the triumph of good over evil.
    Half blood prince - ...mm I guess it will be a new char not introduced so far in the first 5 books.

    I think Snape is the coolest teacher at Hogwarts. He is tough, and won't allow slacking. I love quittege. It was a wonderfully thought up sport. What do you guys think about it?

    Snape?? You definitely have a very different taste!

    My fav. character has always been Hermione. I too think Jo cannot end the series with a tragic end, good must triumph over evil and Voldy is gonna die! Will be very disappointing if she kills both Harry and Voldy in the last book.

    Who do you think is going to kick the bucket in the sixth book? My bet is Lupin.
