I just finished it...it's amazing, but I'm still feeling a little bit down about the death. Still, there's a lot of humor in it (especially having a mom for a teacher when the "state" intervenes!) and a lot of changes. What a great book.

I finished it about an hour and a half ago; it took me about 10 1/2 hours to read it, but I was frequently interrupted by my 13-year-old brother calling me a loser for reading all day.

I was convinced I knew who was going to die, and I was surprised (and saddened!) when I found out who it really was.

Poor Harry.

BTW, I *heart* Professor McGonagall. She freaking rules.

I think we should maybe start a new thread for the spoilers so that we don't ruin it for the people still waiting to read it or who aren't finished yet.

Yes, start a new thread for the spoilers because mine won't arrive in the mail til next week!

But, get this--as we speak, I am sitting here in the same room with a copy of The Order of the Pheonix, and I haven't touched it! How's that for willpower? (I'm babysitting, and their copy came today.) I'm waiting for MINE!

Yes, please start a new thread for the spoilers.

I'm still reading Book 3 and it's going to take me a while before I catch up with the rest of you

I appericate your cooperation in this matter

OK, i'm not gonna read this whole thread, because i don't want anyone to ruin the book for me, but y'all tell me how much torture this is.

My bday is on Tuesday, my mom has known all along that what i've mostly wanted is the Order of the Phoenix. Well, we go shopping today and she buys it, and i'm like, Oh, is that my present? and she's like, yeah, but you can't have it till Tuesday.

So, there's a copy of it in my house, but i can't have it till tuesday, and she's hidden it well so i can't find it and get a sneak peek!

TORTURE!

I finished yesterday evening.I enjoyed it thoroughly but I must say that I liked Goblet of Fire better.I do agreee that Professor McGonagall rocks.But I associate her with Maggie Smith now and I love Maggie Smith.I cannot wait until next year to see Gary Oldman as Sirius.

Done. The spoiler/discussion of the book thread is here for those who are interested: http://forums.greekchat.com/gcforums...threadid=35386

I am an idiot because I went and read the first two posts on the spoiler thread, and I am only on chapter 6. I did it to myself

But at least I know I was right on my guess about who dies! And don't worry... I never posted anywhere what my guess was.

rainbowbrightCS · #**190** 06-23-2003, 07:55 AM

the book is so good, im am rereading it!

MoonStar17 · #**191** 06-23-2003, 08:55 AM

im only on chapter 16, and this book is soooo GOOD!

so far im like...OMG the whole time.. my roomates think im mental!!!

my younger sister insists that we call each other when a "good part comes up" and we sit there and discuss what is going on...my mom says she thinks im crazy being 21 and talking to my 10 year old sister for a whole hour about Harry Potter..
we have a few interesting theorys..this has been so much fun!

im trying to hold out not finishing it, so instead of speeding through it in a night like i would normally i made an agreement to read only up to where my sister was...so that way we could finish it together...

i snuck a peak at the spoilers thread...but ill wait before i go there again

i just hope it wont be another 3 years before the next one

MoonStar17 · #**192** 06-23-2003, 11:37 AM

OMG I am reading now and I HAD to vent my EXTREME dislike for this Umbridge woman...

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR...

oh and Prof. McGonagall is awesome..

ok back to reading

CutiePie2000 · #**193** 06-23-2003, 12:10 PM

Wah...I have to "excuse" myself from this thread as I have 80 pages to go in "The Life of Pi" by Yann Martel. Once I finish it, then I shall sprint over to CHAPTERS & procure myself a copy and join in all the Phoenix fun! woo hoo...

Good idea!!

Just beware...no matter how tempting do not take a look at the spoilers thread..the book is so good and keeps you from wanting to put it down

Happy Reading

I am doing my best, but it's tough. Thankfully, I have pretty strong willpower. Once y'all devour Order of the Phoenix, this is a good one too:
