:sorcerer

Ya, I preordered a copy 3 months ago, and yesterday I mailed the bookstore to make sure that they go the order: "We have no record of your order" .... ARGH!!! ... Then I tell the (annoying) woman at the bookstore to write herself a big shiny note that I actually did preorder the **** thing! Which she then did (LOL!) ... Then today they call me; "Houston we have a problem, we have 253 preorders for the adult version and we'll only be receiving 20 copies" ... ... "We'll mail ya when we have one available" ...

That’s why I prefer shopping online

LOL crispy

yeah SByte, I'm a total fanatic

hehe, ya, I guess it is quite ... But also very !

But its not as bad as the ones in McDonalds!

My mum spelt out P-L-A-I-N B-U-R-G-E-R and I still god flippin mayonase! NOT KIDDING! Now we never leave with out checking the burger, there and then at the counter

Yea, I pre-ordered my copy about 1 1/2 months ago...I can't wait 'till tomorrow!

Yeah I checked back my amazon order
I ordered it 17th jan, the same day as they announced the release date, what at bargain, it was half price!!! And my card went thru this time, it kept rejecting it last time

g'nite

I'VE GOT IT!!!!!!!!!!

On chapter 6 already

Got at safeways @ 8am! I'm the first IN MY SCHOOL to get it! I'm so H-A-P-P-Y

what a stupid concept...and yes i hate..granted i did watch the first movie..and it was not entirely bad but i hate the idea behinds i've seen the horror of a commericialized craze and it makes me sick. it'll die out soon enough...and then something else will replace it.

here's a question for you all if he supposed to be a huge wizard how come you never see him do any magic...it's always a friend....hmmmmmm

I don't read. I haven't since pre-school. I just watch movies. So when the book comes out in a movie I'll watch it then.

Oooo.....the book is "perty"! Yea, they delivered it at around 1 o'clock...Gonna start reading tomorrow...

Loved the movies, haven't read the books as of yet. Maybe it's a good time to start.

a small amount of time and I read 150 pages, I aint gonna have anything 2 read on holiday! I was supposed to save it but I got like 2 weeks 2 go til then and I just couldnt w8!meh!

harry potter is teh shiza:)

id***...

Book rocks. YA YA YA!

i hope to god all you harry pothead fans are 12 year olds.

u'll be surprised who read it.. theres a lot of adults that read the series

then i think they need to grow up.

its not called a childrens book for nothing.

why? a book is a book.. if its good to read well good on them

Who died?!

hrm, weird that u think its a book just for children when they have released the same book with a different cover especially for the older readers.

Yeah, a book IS a book and I'd say some of the content is too complicated even for my 9 yo sis to understand. And I know who dies, I think most people have found even by now by flicking thru the book......why or why is it them??? They're too nice!!! :cry:

I agree. They're exceptionally well-written (although I'm just starting the first one). My girlfriend has read all of them, and so has a 27-year-old friend of mine. I'm 23 myself, and yes, at first I had to be dragged in to see the Sorcerer's Stone, but after that, I found the stories to be marvelous yarns that are worth noting. J.K. Rowling's work shows that she's one of the most innovative writers since Tolkein.

that's the philosophers stone................

It was called "Sorcerer's Stone" here in the US. I know, I know. It's silly. But I guess it was just an administrative decision on the publisher's part. By the way, can you PM me who dies? My friends won't let me borrow the book until they are done.

couldn't agree more shaft

yeah the americians had a problem so they needed to rename it... surprised it wasn't "harry potter and the guy thats quite smarts stone"

harry potter is a story created for children to be read by children. a cover doesnt make it more "adult" or more interesting for that matter its the same book inside the cover.

stop being caught up the the "hype" generated by small children and read books that will expand your knowledge, challenge your mind and not make you dumber.

hehe looks like u will hav to put up with harry potter books shaft

Harry Potter =

HeHe Dun Like Harry :|

This HP book isnt exactly for 12 year olds...way too complex! And I mean it! All this rubbish bout the ministry of magic..I'll not give it away I'm lost. 100 more pages to go, but now I've set the book somehwere and I'm hoping my dog hasn't found it...:cry:

lol same here, i dont have the imagination to read books i get bored so i will see the movie when it comes out in about 3 years time or summat lol

Who diesssssss?

Ya, theres a reason as to why they made an "adult version" in addition to da "baby version"

how can reading make u dumber, its not just a worldwide seller for nothing :/

I do read books other than harry potter. I love reading, books change your life, and you see it through others peoples wishes, emotions and actions... I love Nicholas Evans, he researches his books so well. I cried at the end of the Smoke Jumper. I also liked Kate Atkinson's "Behind the Scenes at the Museum" and Andrew Cowan's "Pig" so before you judge Harry Potter don't say "It's juvenile"...nobody wants to read really serious books all the time

I used to love reading horror novels by Richard Laymon long ago, but now I'm not into reading anymore since I discovered the Internet! (freakin' addiction!)

NO NO NO NO

Im sorry you cant just plain lie like that.

There is no way EVER that J.R Spamalot will EVER be even in the same class as tolkein, let alone better than him.

Dont get me started, im warning you right now.

and as a side note, i opened the grownups pages today (the newspaper for you younguns) and what do i see, reviews of harry pothead.....from four twleve year olds.

I thought to myself, how ironic, young people reviewing a childrens book, that is rather odd isnt it?
(note the sarcasm)

And look--J.R.R. Tolkein, J.K. Rowling. Their names even resemble each other. Definitely a match! I think J.K. Rowling has definitely passed him up, even. If he were alive today, she could probably outwrite him as well. And probably beat him in armwrestling, too. Tolkein was just a hack anyway. He only managed to write one character well. J.K. Rowling, on the other hand, teaches valuable lessons about life through her personality-rich characters and, at the same time, interests children in the occult. Very unique!

I just cant find the words to...what in the.....

you sir, are an id***
