OT: latest Harry Potter book.

100 years from now no one will be reading anything. Dont make me get into one of my gothic apathetic "life sucks" speeches, but lets say I highly doubt civilization will be around then.

I'm really enjoying the latest one. Havent read any of the previous books. I rarely read fiction any more, but as I say I am really enjoying this one. Maybe it's the snippets of British culture that this particular exile misses more than he realizes. I found the movies a little chilish, esp the first one, but not the books.

I'm not realy going to buy the latest (is it Last?) book because i enjoy "harder" readings - reading the Spellsong cycle now.

You want "harder" readings? Stand on your hands while holding the book upside down. That will keep you busy for more than 24 hours while training your balance and arm muscles significantly. A win win situation

Anyway the 2 Last Harry Potter books are 3 times as longer than the 1st one.

I enjoy sci-fi and fantasy, reads most I get access to.
I enjoyed HP aswell, you've got to take it for what it is, then you won't be disappointed.
Haven't read the Last one yet but will borrow it at the library later on (Where I get most of the books I read, Libraries are a wondeful invention, now you can even borrow PC games there!).

Below are some spoilers and some idle speculations...
But I still can not find a flaw why Harry' next year should't encompose few elements of contemporaly teenage sex life

"While you can still call home the place where your mother's blood dwells, there you can not be touched or harmed by Valdemor. He shed her bllod, but it lives in you and your sister. Her blood became your refuge. You need return there only once a year, but as long as you can still call it home, whilst you are there he can not hurt you... "

Can't you see it !? Right now the balance of the world' fate wedges on the well-being of Aunt Petunia. But what if Harry, in whom his mother blood dwells, sire few kids ? As long as mother(s) won't object - he must call it home !, that would be certainly another refuge for the Savior Of Wizardy. Dumbledore is no fool, he must realize this. The sixteen year Harry doesn't know what waits him next term. Thanks to his celebrity staus and Dumbledore charms, he is going to perform the noble but more then ever enjoyable duty of saving us all... Welcome to "Harry Potter and Bewitched Serale". Anoher hint: Madame Trelawney, who already made two accurate predictions abot Harry, prophest 12 (!) Harry offsprings. Certnianly neither Ginger or Ginny are so ignorant to carry the whole burden of saving world. There got to be something interesting in the next book
