As much as I love the series, I'm glad it's all over now. I don't think I could have handled any more trauma befalling those poor characters... PS. Making the first comment sucks.

They really are going for the hard-hitting incisive satire recently, aren't they? Shhh! At least there are new articles! :-) Am I the only one who's had a whole heap of new articles appear at once? I go to the homepage each time I visit this site, and it's been the Howard youtube one for aaaages...

"I've certainly never heard of any, so I guess Rowling's work must be unique." Had to laugh at that :P. I'm glad the series is over as well; the books were good, but the outright hysteria they caused just pissed me off.

In other words "I love the series until everyone else does, then it's tacky, and I'm too good to wait in line amongst those nerdy fans who are so totally not like me at all"?

I read halfway down the first page, got bored, and handed it back to my friend. Title: [Article]Harry Potter ends: children stop reading Post by: emmabelle on September 02, 2007, 09:57:21 PM kids might now have time to read a real book like Lord of the Rings!

But when after 10 pages of reading, all you've found out is how the heavy robes of Lucius glide over the pavement under a chilly night sky, while the full moon shines down on Snape's greasy hair.... I think I have better things to do. |
