Harry Potter *Spoilers* (Serious Discussions Only, No Flaming)

I seem to remember a HP thread a while back, but it seems to have fallen off the map.

With the release of the new book today, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood prince, I deemed it prudent to start a fresh thread on the subject.

This can be either a General Harry Potter Discussion, or Spoilers from the new book.

I've finished it already, but we should probably wait until a little later to spoil Harry's sixth year at Hogwarts(if this thread doesn't bomb like many of my threads have).

Nope.

I've only seen the first movie. I just gleamed all those book spoilers off internet forums.

I thought so, considering you got some of the names wrong and misspelled.

You know, when I watched on the news all those media-brainwashed kids waiting until midnight with their "credit card parents" to buy a copy of the latest Harry Potter book while true literature is forgotten or ignored, I was reminded of Fahrenheit 451. But then again, I reminded of myself on the midnight line to see ROTS, so...

But regarding those Harry Potter books, I'd rather read good old Kafka, thank you very much, no matter how much those crappy teenage fantasy book sell.
“Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.” — Nazi Reich Marshal Hermann Goering

Not funny. I'm no fan of Harry Potter either, but this is just stupid.

Well, I'm admittedly one of those teens who stood in line at midnight to get a book. It was with my own debit card, though. I started reading at 1:15 in the morning and finished at 2:15 the following afternoon. It was a trip. When you have that little sleep, and it's that early, and you keep going for that long, it really saturates your brain. It's kinda creepy.

I wasn't surprised that Dumbledore died. In fact, I'd been expecting it for several months, so I was glad when it happened, so I could rub it in the faces of my non-believing friends! To be honest, though, I'm not quite sure what the whole Half-Blood Prince thing had to do with anything else related to the plot, or maybe I've already forgotten the connection...

By the way, Sessler, you beat me to the punch again because I'd been planning to start a thread like this!!!

Not that that is going to stop you from dreaming… Only in this case, Gaffer is actually a guy.

My goodness, is Jedikev spamming again? Who'd have thought. ^_~

Anyway, nice to see you. I take it you haven't read the new book yet.

Hello gaffer.

at least the guys from mgs forums agree with me.

Well, aside from the thread creator, it seems a lot of the responses are pro-Potter. I'm 19 years old, and I swear that stuff is like crack (not the plumber kind or even the hot sexy model kind but the addictive drug kind... not that I would know from experience). My girlfriend had been trying to get me to read for a year, but I kept resisting until last summer. And they all kicked ass. I was very surprised to like it that much.

By the way, how many posts do I have to have to escape from Padawan?

Why what? Why is it like crack? I don't know. Why am I 19? Because I was born in 1986. Why do I have a girlfriend? Well, I'd rather not get that personal. Why do plumbers have crack? Well, technically we all do, but plumbers just like to flaunt it. Why are a lot of those MGS responses pro-Potter? Well, to each his own, I suppose, but sometimes (although definitely not always as evidenced by reality TV and the upcoming movie Wedding Crashers) things are popular because they're actually good.

And, ooh, I have to actually pass 250 to get there! I thought I just had to reach it! Yay! I'm ready for the trials!

Gaffer, you need just one more post. Officially it's 250, but it doesn't kick in until one post beyond.

Heh, thanks Chaltab, but I guess I figured it out at the exact same time you told me. I appreciate it, though.

JediKev, will you not fuck up the godforsaken Harry Potter thread, too? This shit is getting old.

BTW, what are your thoughts on who R.A.B. is?

I'm almost positive it has to be Regulus Black.
