    I'm not much of a Harry Potter Fan - I watched only d 1st 2 or so - but the creativity of the writer is just incredible. Goes a long way to show how powerful the human mind can be if we really put it to the tests. A captivating story like hers only show up once in a very long time...

    I'll watch the sixth movie, but the seventh book was really disappointing.

    7th book boring?? Pah, I think that was the most 'mature' book of the lot. All the others are like enid blyton..all hairy-fairy stuff :D
    It's only the 7th book that has emotion,adventure,tragedy & deaths(lots of them :p) and suspense.

    Why don't you like it?

    I didn't say it was boring. But I certainly did not feel it was realistic.

    Yes there were deaths, but the ending of the story looked forced. JKR remembered that her core audience were still kids, and probably wrote her ending keeping them in mind.

    The primary antagonist, Voldemort, is regarded as one of the most brilliant students to have set foot in Hogwarts. Why does he then keep on making the same mistakes again and again? There were other ways to kill Harry, and after seeing his killing curse fail twice ( once when he was born, and the other in the Forest), I see no reason for a clever Voldemort to mindlessly use the AK a third time.

    And Harry using Expelliarmus in the end? And winning just because Voldemort's curse rebounded towards him?

    I'm sorry, but that was not my idea of a good book at all.

    I personally liked the fourth book a lot, followed by the second book. The rest are more or less at the same level.

    Mate, that's because Harry was the owner of the Death Wand; that's why the curse failed, that's why it rebounded on He Who Must Not Be Named. :D

    I have a feeling we're going to be having a lot of screaming kids in the theaters for this movie and however they split up the 7th book.

    If He Who Must Not be Named was someone called He Who Had Some Sense, he wouldn't have used the killing curse.

    A cutting curse to the neck, or some other curse would have served the purpose too.

    You are right.

    Infact Harry and Ginny do nothing serious- except for a kiss or two in Book 6 and Book 7.

    Depends on what you define as "snogging" of course. Also for we all know, JK may have a dirty mind and her editors just removed the steamer parts.

    Maybe we'll see Harry Potter and the Love Tower some day. ;)
