I don't like Harry Potter books. I don't like its bags, glasses, cups, notebooks, sandals, T-shirts, toilet papers and buttons either.

Nor does the author actually, she thinks it's tacky. Almost all of it is movie merchandising produced by Warner Brothers - the book merchandising produced by the publishers (damn, forgotten the name) are not quite so bad.

I never got into to it (saw the first fiml, and found it cute, but that's it).

Seeing so many of you getting hyped about it though, I might eventualy pick it up at the library (first episode).

Alva - film is nothing similar to the book. It's not too similar, and definitely not as good. I found the film being average at best, and hardly suited for anyone over 14. Books are, though, a good read, and adults can enjoy them too. I remember Stephen King saying that he found the books enjoyable and well-written.

I'll probably get it in a few days. I assume it'll be all sold out tomorrow . But they'll get a new shipment in soon. I don't NEED to read it on the first day it comes out, but I do need to read it soon, I think . No more than a week after release I'll get it.

Hopefully there will be some available tomorrow, if I decide to go to the mall.

No worries LOTM, I'm 98% sure it was a wild guess. Not impossible, but it's a guess nonetheless.

That was my going to be my guess as to who is killed anyway .. either him or Neville. They seem like the two most likely possibilities.

I'm reading this thread post-Ming-edit, and I have to say - Thanks Ming!

I'll be in line tonight at the book store.

Oh, and to those that think they're too old for Potter...I started reading them shortly after the second one came out, and I'm now 29. If you have imagination, I think you'll like the books, regardless of age.

So young and gullible. My (serious) wild guess is going to be that Voldemort wanted to specifically kill Harry, not the Potters. Why he wanted to do this, I have no real ideas, but the evidence seems to point to it.
