Awesome pictures, Wonwill.  Urgh I hated Umbridge so much.  Especially with all her discrimination towards werewolves and whatnot.  What a jerk.


That was actually a rather intense chapter, Graypatch.  Sad, too :(

And yes, I have a separate bank account to save for my trip.  I can't go for years yet anyway, because I can't get enough time off work until I have more seniority there.

It was definitely easy to hate Umbridge.

Yeah, poor Moody.....

Aw...well, it's good motivation to keep on workin I guess!

GAAAAAH! WHAT ARE YOU DOING, bringing that series into a Redwall Forum?! LOL, just kidding.

Anyway, if you like Harry Potter, look up a series that was written about thirty years earlier; called The Dark is Rising.

It was written by a lady named Susan Cooper, who was a student and family friend of none other than C.S. Lewis.

It is very similar in idea to Harry Potter, if differing broadly in detail.

I'm rereading the series right now.  I had forgotten how wonderful it is :) it's got such personality, and a very enjoyable plot and style.  The characters are so perfectly described; JK often finds just the right adjective or simile to use. 

I finished 1 and 2 so far; I'm excited to start 3 because it was the one that got me hooked when I was younger and has my favorite characters, Remus and Sirius.

Yes, three is my favourite as well. It even doesn't focus on Moldy Voldy(;D), that's one of the reasons I like it.

I don't really prefer Harry Potter. That's cool that you like it though. I do like British literature and movies, I just prefer Redwall and Narnia more.

Some Twilight jokes for ya.  Well... not the Snape one, but that one made me laugh out loud.

My brother, my dad, and I are really into Harry Potter right now. Haven't seen any of the movies, but I really love the books. I'm on the fifth one.  ;D

-Sometime later, the second mate was unexpectedly rescued by the subplot, which had been trailing a bit behind the boat (and the plot). The whole story moved along.

I just merged two existing Harry Potter threads into one. Carry on. :)

I'm a Harry Potter fan. :D I'm not sure which is my favourite book. It used to be Prisoner of Azkabam but I've read the first four so many times!
I recently got to go to the HP Studio Tour, near London - was soo good!

I love Harry Potter. I've read the first 3 books at least four times and the entire series twice. The first three books have been read more than the others because when I was younger I just couldn't read all the way through the much longer Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. When I got older and was able to read longer books I could finish the entire series in two weeks. It's been a while since I last read it though so it might be do for a re-read. Maybe after I finish my Redwall series re-read.
