I don't think there are many people in the world that are able to read the entire book in one sitting. even myself, while I may say non-stop, need to take small breaks to adjust the eyes, grab something to eat/drink (as I don't want to drip/drop anything on the pages on the book), go to the bathroom, etc.

I think that MOST people would be the same way, unless you're a speed reader or something...

I don't care much for the Harry Potter books. I have read a couple and I must say they are overrated.

I just loved book six. I must admit that I was so upset at the ending. What will Harry do. I agree, so many questions to be ansered in book 7.

Has anyone seen the movie yet? My 3-year old doesn't want to see this one (she loves the others... except for the Dementors, which scared her out of this one). So, it looks like Mommy and Daddy will have a date night to see HP!

Yeah I saw GoF. I really enjoyed it even though they left so much stuff out and changed things around. This film is more action than dialogue. And yeah, I don't remember seeing any Dementors in it...well their presence wasn't as foreboding as in the 3rd film.

I thought the movie was good, but really rushed due to so much left out. I also did not like the attitude they gave Dumbledore.

Yeah I have a problem with the new Dumbledore. I guess he's not new anymore. I don't know if it's the actor, or the directing that just makes Dumbledore seem very...dull, boring, uncaring etc.

I laughed so hard when he announced the girls from 'BOW BATTEN!'

that's another thing I hated. In the book, both schools were coed (as there were indications of boys at Beaubatons and a mention os girls at Durmstrang). The movie split them up so all of Beaubatons is female and all of Durmstrang is male.

The entrances for the schools when they came into the dining hall was stupid. I liked the book though....sad.

And the maze - in the book there was actually things in the maze, yet, in the movie it's just a plain old hedgemaze......nobody needs magic to get through a hedgemaze!

That was my favorite part in the book and I was looking forward to it the whole movie, and then it goes and disappoints me...grrrrr... :x
