Guest Posted July 17, 2005 Posted July 17, 2005 Well, just finished reading it. Great book, can't wait for the last instalment. Am now a bit sunburnt from sitting in the garden since 10am. Highly recommend the book to all. Quote
Guest Posted July 17, 2005 Posted July 17, 2005 I have just started mine after picking it up at about 12.30am on Saturday morning!! I have to say, and I know this won't spoil it for anybody, but I wish she hadn't started it in the PM's office in Downing Street! I have an image of Tony Blair in my head-which is very off putting. I have made a decision that the PM should be Bauldrick and am now imagining him instead!! I wonder if he has "a cunnining plan"?????? Linda Quote
Sue R Posted July 17, 2005 Posted July 17, 2005 Thanks Linda !!! That put me off a bit, too! .....Cunning plan alert.......A very BIG Turnip??? Quote
Guest Posted July 17, 2005 Posted July 17, 2005 Enjoyed it too, but I have to say I think it lacked the excitement of earlier books: earlier Harry/Voldemort encounters have previously left me breathless. I kept waiting for the excitement at the end, but it never materialised. Having said that, I kept the pages turning and I think the intricacies of the storyline are very cleverly written. I can't wait for the finale! Now I suppose I should get back to that assignment! Maz Quote
Steve Posted July 18, 2005 Posted July 18, 2005 If ANYONE gives away the secret of which major character dies in this conversation, I'll think of a really unpleasant signature to add to the end of all your posts! (Well it's still a secret to me...) Quote
SueFinanceManager Posted July 18, 2005 Posted July 18, 2005 Blimey I haven't even started to read mine yet so like Steve, would appreciate it if you don't give any good stuff away. The books don't get any lighter to hold do they A weak and feeble Sue x Quote
mundia Posted July 18, 2005 Posted July 18, 2005 agreed. Some of us can't get our copies yet.... Quote
Guest Posted July 18, 2005 Posted July 18, 2005 I went to tesco Stockport at 2am on Saturday morning as I couldn't sleep so thought I may as well buy it then rather than get up earlier than I had to! I'm only 6 chapters in, but I'm really enjoying it. I agree with others that we shouldn't discuss what happens in the plot for a good few months yet, to give all time to read it! Quote
Guest Posted July 18, 2005 Posted July 18, 2005 I have o say that I don't see what all the fuss is about. I rad the last chapter and that was all that was needed. Roll on the next book to see what does actually happen in the end. If only I could be as successful..... Quote
Guest MaryEMac Posted July 19, 2005 Posted July 19, 2005 Postman delivered Potter just before 9.30am on Saturday, I finished it at 3.30 on Saturday afternoon. It wasn't as exciting as previous episodes but thoroughly enjoyable. The only problem is that I'm not allowed to talk about it cos no-one else has read it yet. Hopefully one of the year 5 boys at school has read it so we can talk at lunchtime tomorrow. Now what can I read............'Are you ready for ofsted?'!!!!!!!!!!! Hope everyone has a restful summer, Mary Quote
Guest Posted July 19, 2005 Posted July 19, 2005 Be careful though, MaryEMac You confuse the Half-blood Prince and "Are you Ready for your Inspection"... Do you think JK Rowling has ever worked in a pre-school during an Inspection? Maybe that's where she got the idea for Dementors.... Maz Quote
Posy Posted July 20, 2005 Posted July 20, 2005 And we've definitely had Umbridge inspecting us!! Barb Quote
Guest Posted July 25, 2005 Posted July 25, 2005 Finally read it, fantastic, really enjoyed it. Looking forward to next and final installment. Net x Quote
Guest Posted July 25, 2005 Posted July 25, 2005 I finished it on Saturday morning. I have to say I really enjoyed it and like Net I am looking forward to the next one-I just hope she gets a wriggle on with it!!! Linda Quote
hali Posted July 26, 2005 Posted July 26, 2005 Does anyone know how quickly it will be out in paperback, i dont really want to take it in hardback on the airoplane!!!!! Quote
Guest Posted July 26, 2005 Posted July 26, 2005 Don't hold your breath Hali - it will be some months before it comes out in paperback! Looks like you'll just have to pay excess baggage! Mind you, I suppose that all depends on when you're travelling. Go any floo powder handy?? Maz Quote
hali Posted July 26, 2005 Posted July 26, 2005 yes always carry some in my bag, comes n very useful Quote
