Trekker 42 Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 So, I was among the nerds that waited at midnight on Friday to get the book, and I was most impressed. I have finished it, and I rank it amongst the best books of all time. I was devistated at some of the deaths; like Fred Weasley, and Mad Eye. They seemed too senseless. So in this spoiler wracked I want to know; Did anyone get it at 12:01 and what did you think EDIT: Following suggestions taken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadpool Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 You've got to put spoiler tags there, my friend, or people will be pissed. I, for one, go off the main page, which doesn't list the thread's subtitle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Donster Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 Yeah, going to go with Deadpool on this, since Dan ask in another thread for folks to respect folks who haven't read it yet. My feeling on this thread though is it's a little premature for it, since the book just came out. If I were you, I would have started this thread in a week or so, after most folks have read it. As for your other question, I took my wife and was one of the people who stood in line. She's at the moment heavily immersed in the book, while I'm playing Quake 4 on my 360. Although I'm also reading the Prisoner of Azscaban when I have a free moment. So by the time I get around to this one, I'll already know half the plotlines Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulesLuvsShinzon Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 My mother-in-law pre-ordered a job lot for herself and all the grandchildren and then went and stood in line outside W H Smith at midnight to collect them! Methinks she quite likes queueing up with kids dressed as wizards! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke314pi Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 My wife and I spent most of the weekend reading the book. For now I will only say that it was very different from the other books, but still very good. There were more low points than high points, but it was all meaningful and well written.

Jad Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 Seriously Dante_X, I hope you are joking. Because otherwise, that just ain't cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NINTENDOwii Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 Yeah that sounds like Dante was being a MoFo.Let's pound him guys! If you weren't joking then you were being a SERIOUS BASTARD.Not cool man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fujis Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 hehe i went into barnes and noble read the last few pages so i new what happened then when i saw someone who i didnt like reading the book i told them the ending and there all 'oh man WTF!!!' It's not like reading the last few pages would have given him incredible insight in the happenings of the book other than the fact that Harry doesn't die and "all was well". I just finished the book the other day and I was very satisfied with it. I probably should have reread at the last few books as some of the references to old events threw me a bit.
