Book 7 has a title

[JaJo 1]

I love the Harry Potter books! Our school can't keep them on the shelves long and they've become so worn out from the kids reading them so much (one kid reads them over and over on a regular basis)

One school here in GA (Gwinnett County) has a parent trying her damnedest to have Harry Potter banned from the school libraries. *SIGH* She's lost her last two appeals but she isn't giving up....she plans to go as far as she can to get them banned. I guess the next thing she'll go after is the LOTR books.

Ov Vey.

I could never understand why some people want to ban those books...They got kids reading, didn't they? And everybody that loves to reads knows that once you're "infected" with the reading bug, there is no cure for it.

If for no other reason, the Harry Potter series should be praised for achieving that.

The longer the better IMO, more to read!

I also agree the longer the better!

Mags, I totally agree on Prisioner of Askaban being the best book in the series.

I have yet no idea as to when it will be released although rumour has it that should be by next summer.

I love the books too. That's sad she won't be playing Hermione

Very sad as we have got to see her grow up! It will be so different seeing another actress. I will say that the new Dumbledore is so much like the first one that I had no problem adjusting to him.

Emma Watson thinks that just because she got boobies that she's all grown up now!

Phhhooooeeey on you Hermione!

Cannot wait to see the last book released !! I like the fifth book the best (yes, it's the thickest one of all so far ), I like the way she depicts battles between wizards and how they threw spells at each other I wish I could do that to my boss once in a while, that would be funny ...

I remember I read the first book almost in one sitting... I couldn't put it down....

I have only read the first 2 books and part of the third one... the third one didn't seem to have the same charm as the first 2... and I couldn't get through it...

Both James and I have a set of each, we were apart when they came out but would sit on the computer on voice (silently) just reading them together...

Pity about Hermione not being in the last movie, thats going to be a bit wierd. I cant wait for the last book. Im still disappointed int he movies, there was so many little things that could of been put in and others that could of been taken out. I want Dobby!

When Luis and I met the 4th book was coming out in about a year, and he brought a copy of it to me in our first meeting in Brazil, which took place a year after we met, the book wouldn't be released in Brazil until December. He'd fall asleep at night and I'd stay up reading the book that first trip we had together. Book 6 came out when we were together in a trip, we bought it and sat down to read it together. We read the entire book together.

Mags, I think the title will be appropriate once the book's out. I agree that the last book was long and seemed to stall a lot, but I still like the series as a whole, obviously.

I still read them of course! I don't hate them. But I think the best of the series was the third book. Perfect length and it managed to rack up the tension perfectly. She could have achieved the same with the other, more longer, books had she just cut them down a tad. Just my opinion though!

When the new one comes out I'll read it of course. I'd LOVE it if she had the guts to kill off Harry though. I'd REALLY admire her then.

She had an interview recently and she mentioned something to that effect. She doesn't want another writer to pick up the Harry series.

As far as the next movie, Emma Watson decided not to play Hermione! That makes me a sad panda! But at least my Ron is still there!

Emma Watson's gone? Dang Anyone know who will replace her?

I don't think it has been announced yet but I will do some digging around and let you know.

I love them! I saw all four movies before I started reading the books, now I am halfway through book 5.

I don't see why anyone would want these books banned, they are works of fiction, stories! Why didn't anyone ban The Wizard of Oz? What about fairy tales? Don't they usualy have trolls, witches, talking animals, potions or other magical items? It would be simpler if the parents did their jobs correctly and taught their children the difference between fact and fiction.

Gotta agree! I love the HP series and am definitely sad to see it come to an end. I'm on the fence about how I'd feel if she killed off Harry, it could either be the perfect way to end it or it could ruin the whole series for me. *whines* I don't wannnnnna wait until the summer for the new movie and book

I think killing Harry off would be quite horrid!!! What a crappy way to end her series.

The last book was bad enough in that regard.

Still looking forward to the next book and I'll be sad that it's the last one.

I have watched all the movie versions. I like them all except the last one.
