Wakinyan Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 I enjoyed it though I had called at least one of the big plot twists that took place long ago. And did anyone notice how much the ending felt like you where watching the ending of Spiderman?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashnod Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 I called the ending a long time ago too. That left me, strangely, very unsatisfied. I was hoping Rowling wouldn't do the obvious and certainly not the way it ended up being.But, it was much better than Order Of The Phoenix and it's definitely wet my appetite for the next book.

Ashnod Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 She's already done with it, from what I remember reading. Or at least the initial draft of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apep Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 There was a bit to much "snogging" for my taste, but I did enjoy it. After beeing so disapointed with Order of the Phoenix, I was relieved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugin Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 They're sixteen for Pete's sake. We should be happy Hermione wasn't heavy with child by chapter 20. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After beeing so disapointed with Order of the Phoenix, I was relieved. Daniel Radcliffe (who plays Potter in the films) says that he and the other actors don't get the same experience reading the books as normal people. For them, they are finding out what they're going to be acting out in the coming years, which is fun in his words because "everyone else gets to imagine doing these things. I get to look forward to actually doing them."I imagine Rupert Grint (Ron's actor) read HBP thinking, "Bloody hell! I'm going to be snogging Lavender's actress for half the film! I'm going to be showing up to work and the director will be like, 'Well Rupe, you looking forward to more snoggin' today?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Zero Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 Loved it... and yes, Spiderman ending that kind of annoyed me a bit. It was like "Insert heroic cliche here". Aside from that it really REALLY made me want the next installment.BTW, Id like to have a more indepth discussion on it but I dont want to be a spoiler so maybe a new thread...?

Jager Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 Finished it.I think we should remember what it was like to have the hormones of 16 year olds once again. At least from the boy's perspectives, that was pretty much the greatest thing I looked forward to (even over gaming ).What stunned me was that there weren't more teachers taking kids to task over it. Maybe that's supposed to be the prefects job?I would also point out that the ending is necessary in a classical way ... if it was for real, no?
