No surprise Albus has already posted here. I've never gotten into the books and haven't tried either, because they just seem so long. It would take me a long time to sit down and read 700 pages of a book when I can sit back and watch a 2-3 hour movie. So, I just watch the movies, although I hear they leave a lot out.

You COULD watch the movies, but the books have allot more thrilling details in them, and have allot more important scenes that Warner Brothers leave out

@700 pages, nonense, what you do, it take a vacation, and that vacation is the week before the next book comes out, and on the way home you have nothing to do, so you read.... atleast, that is what happened in my case for the most recent book. and i finished it in a 14 hour drive home

1. Harry Potter! - (4)
2. Harry Potter: The Deathly Hallows - WARNING: MAY INCLUDE SPOILERS! ONLY READ IF YOU HAVE READ THE WHOL (18)

   I was wondering, can this be a discussion for the seventh and final book of the Harry Potter
   series? Because I really want to talk about it. Great book! Do you think that the ending is a
   bit.. predictable? I mean, it was kind of obvious (to me) that Hermione and Ron would
   eventually.. Marry each other? As with Harry and Ginny. But I like Harry's kid the best, the one
   that looks like him. Albus Severus, right? Or was it Albus Snape? Hmm.. I remember it was Albus
   _______.. ...

3. Harry Potter Is The Source Of All Evil. - (26)

   Not in the world, but in the series. Here is my synopsis: Oh yeah, it's kinda spoiler
   intensive, so if you have not yet read the books, you might not want to continue reading. Hmm,
   wonder if this board has spoiler tags? Book 1. Killed a teacher at the the school he attended.
   Arguments against: He was preventing the capture of the stone, and He was a dark wizard anyway.
   Arguments for: If Harry did not persue the stone in the first place, it would not have needed
   prevent the capture! Even if the enemy you are killing is evil, they should be held alive for ...

4. Harry James Potter The Last Living Gryffindor! - the chance that harry is the last of the gryffindors! (6)

   This teory shows that harry potter has the best chances of being a gryffindor! as on my post
   about 5 HP teories (click here) i quote the fifth: QUOTE 5 Harry potter is gryffindor last
   descendent! noticed that the house bellonging to his parents is called Godric's hollow ?
   Godric Gryffindor ... any resemblense? and... would it not take a true gryffindor to take the sword
   out of the hat? there must have been loads of people truly loyal to gryffindor but not one of his
   own blood!! i think james potter is the blood of gryffindor!!! t...

5. The 6 Horcruxes - Another Harry Potter thread ! (13)

   What do you reckon the 6 horcruxes will be then... Obviously we know the diary was one And the
   locket from the Black house was probably the one dumbledore and Harry went to find The ring that
   dumbledore destroyed (we don't know much about that really) Something of ravenclaws, hufflepuffs
   and gryffindors? Dumbledore thinks that voldemort used nagini the snake to kill the old man in the
   riddle house and then turned her into a horcrux, because voldemort was one horcrux short when he
   went to kill Harry. Dumbledore also thinks that voldemort planned to make a horcrux w...

6. Harry Potter(7) And The Deathly Hallows - Lets talk about the last book! (spoiler warning) (31)

   As all Harry Potter fans may now: The last book is coming out soon. It is going to be released July
   21th. I found some unresolved plot info from the previous books on Wikipedia *****SPOILER*****
   : QUOTE * Harry will return to the home of his non-magical (Muggle) relatives, the Dursleys
   (whose cooperation has been requested by Albus Dumbledore), during the school holiday. The magical
   protection Dumbledore arranged, which requires Harry to have a home with them, is set to expire when
   Harry comes of age (see below).HBP Ch.4 * Harry plans to visit the remains ...

7. Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows - talking about the book itself and thoughts (10)

   Well, I figured I mine as well make the post for the book. I know Albus is probably reading it
   considering his screen name is named after the former character. Anyway, I've read a few
   articles about it and have heard that people are pretty satisfied with the ending. The storyline
   has changed so much as Harry has grown older. I've also read though that there is lots of death
   occurring throughout the book, but of course I guess that is part of the name. I purchased my copy
   last night and have started reading chapter one. Please post what you think of it but ...

8. Anyone here a Harry Potter fan? - (46)

   I like Harry Potter... a lot!!! I spend a lot of time looking at stuffs about Harry Potter. I would
   like to here some personal comments about Harry Potter. I don't really care if you hate it, but, I'm
   just curious. Ooooo..... also, a great Harry Potter site (visit the forums!)
   http://hpana.com/forums It's a really cool site. VISIT IT!!!...

9. Harry Potter 7 Theories - Sorry to bombard everyone with HP btw. (50)

   So, what do people actually think's going to happen in the last book, now the sixth one is out
   of the way. Personally I think that Hogwarts will stage the final battle between Voldemort and the
   others and they'll be all the magical creatures fighting each other etc. What do other people
   think? Or do people just read the books and take in what happens then?...

10. Does any one also think harry potters dumb?? - huh>>>?? (52)

    to any admin mebers who like harry potter. Do u hate itas well or do u disagee?? You be the judge....

11. Harry Potter - Which one is the best? (16)

    The new Harry Potter (the sixth one) is already coming out (July, isn't it). I have just had a
    chance to catch up with the Harry Potter books. They are all amazing. Once I started, I just
    couldn't stop. Not only do I feel like I have to continue to read til the end of the book, but
    also once I have finished one I sooo much want to read the next book. Was just wondering now which
    one you like best (out of the five)? I think I like the third one most (the prisoner of Azkaban).
    It's just a perfect jig-saw...all pieces were put together soo well, and filled wit...

12. For Harry Potter Haters - (6)

    Don't be so stupid as to say 'omg I well hate harry potter - I watched the movies and they
    were boring so I just didn't bother with it ever again! its just for kidz lolz'
    That's simply ridiculous The books are almost completely separate things from the movies MOST
    people who have read the books dislike the movies anyway I agree completely that the Harry Potter
    films are made for a young audience And books 1 and 2 are also made for a young audience But beyond
    that the books contain some quite adult themes, and were definately written with a more &...

13. Moie Harry Potter Stuff - More Book 7 Theories (9)

    WARNING: SOME SPOILER DETAILS FROM BOOK SIX! READ AT YOUR OWN RISK! Haha, suckers. More
    Harry Potter and you can't do nothin' bout it, ye hear?! Indeed. So here is my theory
    for Book 7, which I heard from an unconfirmed source but it is still kinda fun: There is another
    prophecy concerning Harry that he does not know about, which again was forseen by Professor
    Trelawney and told to Dumbledore around the time the first prophecy was made. But surprisingly, it
    was about Harry's romantic destiny, not Voldemort. Dumbledore decided not to tell Har...

14. Harry Potter 6 Spoilers! - Warning: Harry Potter 6 Spoilers (21)

    Yesterday, I was re-reading Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince , and I have deduced that
    Snape's allegiences indeed lie with the Order of the Phoenix. Here is why: At the top of the
    Astronomy Tower near the end of the book, Dumbledore admits to Malfoy that he knew about the mission
    Voldemort entrusted to Malfoy. However, he knew that Malfoy is not a murderer and therefore would
    not kill dumbledore, so he asked snape to kill dumbledore instead so that Malfoy would not be killed
    by Voldemort. Coincidentally, Snape had made an unbreakable vow to Narcissa Malfoy ...

15. Ultimate Harry Potter Spoiler - Read spoiler at your own risk (10)

    Harry Potter Spoilers Read spoiler at your own risk Alright now here is MY
    theory on the whole "Snape is innocent, no shut up, he's guilty" thing: I was reading a
    transcript of an interview that J.K. Rowling gave to some newspaper or magazine, I'm not sure
    which, but it was about the guy asking her if she liked Harry Potter : Prisoner of Azkaban, the
    movie. According to Rowling, she got "goosebumps" after watching it because it revealed a major
    spoiler for later in the series (i.e., book seven). Today, I was watching Prisoner of Az...
