Wow! You sure did enjoy HP GOF!
It too was my favorite, but the ending was bittersweet. Not only did the
book's ending leave you with the foreshadowing of a dark next two books, but
by my finishing HP meant that I had a long wait before I was able to read a
new HP book.
RANT WARNING! LOL
I got into HP just before the big craze began. (Some say it bagan a year
earlier in England but not yet in the US) Anywho, I gobbled up HP:SS in six
hours - having finished the best read since I read Tom Clancy's The Hunt for
Red October. My Mom has always ensured I was in no short supply of books,
because my life is much unlike that teen and I hardly watch TV or play video
games, so I shortly thereafter I owned HP:CoS - which I more casually read.
I finished HP:PoA a month later and then spent 7 of the 8 weeks of the
summer camping in some sort of way. I know - long time! My first day home, I
found HP:GoF on my bed. OMGoodness! What a welcome home gift. Awed by the
734 pages of exciting reading, I dug in. But as pg 300 came round in three
days, I slowed down, knowing that GoF was last for a long time. After I
finished GoF, I reread the entire series. Then LOTR took over and I
recently finished it. Last week - over the course of 8 days, I read from
front to back all HP books! HP is pure extcasty!
Now that I am done ranting... A few things...
1: JK Rowling is now delaying HP:5 longer because she is pregant. It is
speculated that the book will be released shortly after her baby is born,
and be dedicated to him. Don't quote me on this - because this is pure
speculation.
2: The possibilities are endless for Lego production but man, there will be
a limit. We will be doing lots of creations on our own. Lets just hope TLG
releases all the required minifigs...
3: Because the huge length of HP:Gof, I don't foresee everthing being
included in the movie. Remeber: 2 rooms of the SS Obstacle course was
skipped - but one didn't count with a knocked out Troll.
Glad you enjoyed the book and sorry for the rant!
We all should get together and beg Tim to bring back FBTB2 so we can have a
great HP fansite as great as it SW Brother! Maybe some of us should
volunteer to help?
Jeremy!
