Harry Potter

[cali]

I like the movies, but while I love to read, I only read very particular types of books, and harry potter dont even come lose to what I like to read lol

I've read most of them, but not the last one. I should prolly pick it up before the new one comes out.

Also, did you know that the British release ones were slightly different than the American (schloastic) ones? Like, for instance in book one when they're discussing Harry's clothes right at the beginning, the British one refers to a 'Jumper', but the American one refers to 'Sweater' -- i guess its' since the British terms for some things aren't the same as the American ones

I LOVE harry potter! Best books and movies! The 5th movie turned me back into the HP nerd I used to be.

I've re-read the first 2 - but now I'm reading a different book - then I'll start up again-
so many books so little time!

I read Harry Potter!! I love the books and the movies. I have only read 2 or 3 of the books so far though. It's one of the best stories of all time

Mailny the kinds of movies and books i like to read are star trek, but pet books and movies come first!

I wonder if somehow i ended up borrowing a British version then because there were a LOT of British terms like that which had me puzzled as to what they meant. ...I was like "Jeeze! If this is the American version how different is the British version?!"

I don't remember reading sweater, but i do remember puzzling over Jumper.

And remember... I was borrowing book one from the library when it was EASY to get a hold of a copy of book three there.

You probably got one of the early releases, because I puzzled over the same thing for a LONG time. I think the first reprintings aren't usually thoroughly edited for such things, if at all.

I have a few copies: all in PB, HB, and CD, and SS in Braille. Oh, and all the movies, too.

I seen a copy once at B&N! I thought that was so cool... but the poor thing was so tattered. Should have had a reduced price sticker on it. It looked like it had been in a library for YEARS rather than being a new release.

Seems to have been much loved!

I want to read them so badly now. More hours in the day would help!

I've read them all and have seen all the movies. The movies definitely pale in comparison to the depth of the books.

I'll be catching a matinee of Order of the Phoenix next Wednesday and will be at a book release party in Toronto.
