I'm starting on book 1 again because I want to see if I can find clues and such. Or maybe because I don't want the HP universe to end just yet.  |
You'll find loads of clues, I promise you that! It's amazing how you missed them upon the first reading, but as you read the others in turn, the previous hints make so much sense.

LOL! 
I finally... FINALLY... finished Order of the Phoenix. Prolly the most painful book to read. 
I'm now on to Half-blood Prince, which I've been looking forward to since I don't remember much from my first reading of it.

I didn't like that one either. Too depressing and angsty. The first book is such a joy to read because of its innocence.

YES! As is the second... which I think I like as much as the third. The fourth was alright, tho a best strained, and the fifth, as you said, was too angsty. . I'll have to reread the sixth to remember how much I liked it.

Yeah, the first 3 books are great. I also like the 4th because of the different people they interact with (also, it's when the romance bit kicks in  )

I'm guessing for the snogging parts?

Was that a spoiler or are you embarassed about the reason why you like that book?
AD: Yeah, it's all the puberty stuff going on, but I can't help it--I prefer when the kids were young and innocent and that the plot wasn't as heavy and depressing.

That's why the books are so grand, because Rowling actually captures what they're like at different stages in their life. I know what 15 year olds are like. I have to be exposed to them everyday at work. But that doesn't mean I have to enjoy their angstness.

I'm STILL waiting for my son to finish it... gah, he's a slow reader. I shouldn't complain, though, because he doesn't read anything else

Yea, I love that about the HP books. It gets the kids reading. When do you think you'll get the book from him? I could hold off and we can read it together.

O that's right... has he blamed his procrastination on the fact that he's reading HP?
