I bought the first Barry Trotter after skimming through it at the bookshop and thinking it would be amusing. About 1/4 through its humour became boring and lame. I never finished it.
bubz :D
the last laugh
lol i can't believe i even finished it. i didn't like it at all, no not just because i'm an HP fan
my friend LOVED it, and she's completely obsessed with hp o__O
i guess it depends on your sense of humour

Some parodies work. This one was just lame :/

That's the reason I bought it, but I was ultimately very disappointed with it. Perhaps it's just not my sort of humour.

oooh! Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them and Quidditch Through the Ages... quidditch wasn't great (but had things harry had written in the margins) but Beasts was coool, and funny...
but i can think of things that have been mentioned that haven't gone anywhere YET:
- Dumbledore has a brother, Aberforth
- Dumbledore 'doesn't need a cloak to become invisible' (Bk 1)
- 'those we have loved never truly leave us' (PoA) - will Sirius return???
- the Ron and Hermione thing (of course, of course)
... and my thoughts are stuck again. Tis the fault of exams. Stupid exams, haven't even seen the 3rd movie yet coz of them!!!!
yeah... like the time turners from book 3 are in the Department of Mysteries... can't think of any othersOriginally posted by bubz
heheh yeah and also you see little clues, like the weasley's tent at the quidditch cup is the same layout as mrs figgs' house.... ok i don' think i make sense

and all the stuff with snape, of course.
what you said about "those we have loevd never truly leave us"... hmmm interesting... but i thought dumbly was referring to how james lives inside harry......?
oooh yeah, i've got fantastic beasts and quidditch.... i loved fantastic beasts, didn't like quidditch as much, but it WAS interestign though
this girl i know was conned into buying fantastic beasts from ebay for like, $30 serves her right though

They make the book have depth. Theres always something beneath the surface. And it involves Serverus Snape.

oh yeah, snape... forgot about that :$Originally posted by bubz

snape is awesome, good, yet so evil... and I LOVE Alan Rickman, he is one of the only characters that really and truly lives up to the books' imagery.
yeah 'dumbly' was referring to that.... but it may have had deeper meaning. dumbledore is a character of many layers... like Shrek, lol.
on the other hand, i just saw the 3rd movie (finally) and was very very disappointed with character portrayals, especially the new Dumbledore. Lupin wasn't great either. Black (although Oldman is an excellent actor) just didn't work for me

i'm reading OoTP again now. NO MORE EXAMS MUAHAHAH
though i used harry potter as a related text for my genre essay today

I've read those crazy theories on mugglenet. Apparently the film hints that Lupin is actually James. Like wtf??
bubz :D
the last laugh
yeah on mugglenet they were saying stuff like how in PoA (the book), lupin said in a strange voice, "you saw james?" and how he moves to hold harry a number of times, but decides against it........ and apparantly that's a sign that he's actually james potter. =\
mmm yeah, i didn't like the lupin/lily thing in the movie at all. there's nothing like that in the books - there's even more snape/lily than lupin/lily
they should've emphasised the fact that james/sirius/lupin/pettigrew were friends, rather than go off on a tangent about lupin's admiration of lily

lol sorry i meant that they had a bit of lupin/lily in the movie, which i didn't think should've been put into it (unless JKR plans on elaborating on it...?) ... and that there's nothing on lupin talking about lily in the books, there's more of a chance that snape had feelinsg for lily (or vice versa) than lupin/lily.........
err does that make sense? sorry my mind's still on my genre essay :S
