Harry Potter is THE boy wizard. But Harry Potter is also a series of Books, Movies, Video Games, you name it.

98075_access-extended-harry-potter-and-the-half-blood-prince-ny-premiere-july-9-2009.jpg

That's the principal cast of the movies, Harry, Hermione, and Ron.

By the way, what kind of name is Hermione?

Yup, there's a whole GENRE of music dedicated to Harry

A little Punk

A little AWESOME

Hopefully you've read the books already, because they're pretty great. One of my favorite birthdays was the one where I got this gem

This convention is going to be amazing and it's going to be at the recently opened theme park

The new movie is out soon so lets talk about Harry Potter!

    Excellent brain candy, terrible, TERRIBLE ending to the series, awkward transition to film only made fun by the gigantic CG budget and the well-funded casting of pretty much every adult character in the movie.

    I enjoyed the series somewhat, but the ending... man.
    Albus Severus? REALLY?
    ... REALLY?

    The entire second half of the last book was entirely cheesy, as well as terrible, poorly built, and contradictory to almost every single rule and plot point Rowling had built into her own world. Cheesy is fine, but that shit was abysmal.

    Juuust sayin'.

    Edit: I suppose I shouldn't crap all over the "EEE HARRY POTTER" thread just because I'm a disenchanted former fan (as in I read the books, not as in I wrote in my notebooks about marrying one of the Weasley twins or owned any Harry Potter item besides the books)(those obsessive fans were the reason I put off reading them for so long). Incredibly, incredibly disappointed in that last one.

    I wouldn't call it abysmal but I'm not sure she had everything planned out. It reads as though she was trying to tie everything up as she went along, which I'm fine with. I would rather have a bumpy ride that is an actual conclusion than a smooth ride that explains nothing at all

    Although that's probably because if I had read the last book and not had closure I would have flipped out

    Fair enough on the closure bit, but I'm too big a fan of authors who follow through with hard promises: When a character dies, they are dead. Even if it's the main character. I know from experience that killing a character you've grown attached to writing is really, really hard, but to shrug what could have been a solid ending to opt for a happy one that wouldn't break the kiddies hearts was, in my opinion, irresponsible authoring.

    The assumption that everybody married their high school sweethearts was painful.

    But man, Prisoner of Azkaban. Great re-read for those days when brain-think isn't necessary. And Gary O. ruled in the movie, so I have no bones about that installment. I will never knock Rowling's ability to put together a great mental image with very simple tools, which is something largely missing in children/young adult fiction.

    Yeah, I agree.

    Still love the series though. It was a huge part of my childhood and I can't wait to watch the Part 2 of Deathly Hallows while at "Hogwarts".

    I liked Book Seven.

    I also like several of the Star Wars EU books, and I thought The Chocolate War was the worst piece of shit that was ever pooped out of a butt.

    My literary tastes are decidedly elitist.

    In fact, I’d like to go the other way entirely, and say that every fantasy writer living today should get down on hands and knees to kiss J.K. Rowling’s, er, feet. She not only has managed to write fantasy that adults don’t mind being seen reading on the bus, she has also created millions of new fantasy readers out there. Ten years from now, a lot of those kids will be buying my books.

    May the gods rain blessings upon Harry Potter.

    As far as influences—well, everything influences me. Every time I come across a neat bit of storytelling, I file it away. I steal from everybody.

    JK Rowling's next book will just be 500 pages of the word "prickling".

    It will sell 20 million copies.

    Dear Raneados

    As Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is fictional, we must deny your application. You would have better luck at a real school, and not one that obviously doesn't exist, as we don't.
