OT: latest Harry Potter book.
I just finished reading it and I am very dissapointed. What's the big deal about that prophecy ? What' the problem if Voldemart learn it - big deal. He already trying very had to kill Harry. In previous books stakes were really high. But here ? Kind of pointless IMHO.

Re: OT: latest Harry Potter book.

Re: OT: latest Harry Potter book.
One hundred years from now, people will still be reading and discussing the works of J.R.R. Tolkien...
and saying, "Rawlings who?"  |

Re: OT: latest Harry Potter book.
Sorry for spoilers 
I do think Rowling will be remembered 100 y from now. First three books were brilliant. But then it went downhill. I only reading because I still wonder which girl he will end up with - my money on Luna

Re: OT: latest Harry Potter book.
I find the books a light read, a little too un-serious, and slightly childish. Overall it was a generally good read - though a book i can read in 24 hours isnt realy exciting. I'm not realy going to buy the latest (is it Last?) book because i enjoy "harder" readings - reading the Spellsong cycle now.
Still, for people not as fantasy/sci-fi crazy as me (i.e the general people) the book should be, and is a great read.

Re: OT: latest Harry Potter book.
No, two more are scheduled. 
But... they give a nice break from hard Sci-Fi.

Re: 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.

Re: OT: latest Harry Potter book.
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.
