Oh I'm so sorry. I hope I didn't spoil yeah that much. Even if you know a lot of what happens, it's still an interesting read. Leave FF right now and go read it this minute, so we can discuss it in better detail.

Glad you're enjoying the books

I've never really been a big fan of the movies but then I realised I was approaching them expecting them to be just like the book, which I guess is unreasonable because there's just SO much stuff they'd never be able to fit it in. Now I try to think of the movies and books as being very separate to avoid disappointment! It is a shame though when some little moments in the books which you loved are left out. And some scenes I would think would obviously be in the movies are left out.

There are a couple of things that if they miss out of the HBP film I'll have a hissy fit. You've been warned

chasin' the wind

Well, I know much of everything that happens... So we could still discuss. I am so mad that Snape dies!

TheAngel

It was a good death though, not chiche like it could have been. I was at least happy about that, thank God. I really need to reread the 7th book, perhaps over Thanksgiving break, because I read through it so quickly, I was obsessed, that I know I missed a lot of things. I'll probably go back every couple of years and read all of them over again because they are such amazing books. I still can't believe the written series has actually ended. It seems so unreal.

Hermione Weasley

That's exactly how I was! I'm re-reading the 7th now and there are so many little things that I missed the first time around, and I'm like 'omg I don't remember that the first time around' it's because now I'm not so rushed trying to read it all, all obsessed and stuff...so it's really good to be able to re-read it and catch things you didn't get the first time around

Stefy

Yeah, every time I reread the books, I find tidbits that I didn't realize were there the first time I read them.
I definitely have to reread the 7th book one of these days. I read it way too fast, so I don't catch everything. I'm also starting to forget certain things from the plot. HP is like food, we must savor to get the best out of it.

Hermione Weasley

Exactly! That's how I was feeling about it too lol. After I read it in the summer I started re-reading from the beginning. I read The first 3 and then I couldn't take it any longer I had to go back and read the 7th cause unlike all the other books I was starting to forget it

silver lining

I definietly need to read book 7 because I sped through it so quickly. There are still bits of the plot I don't quite understand

Stefy

One of my cousin's asked me a question about the plot and I just drew a blank. I was like "Ummmm....well you see...ummmm....what did happen???"

~Unfaithful~

I read mine very quick too and I want to start re-reading it again. It was so good, I just have to set aside time.

TheAngel

It's very funny that all of us did similar things by reading it too quickly. It shows the hold that Harry Potter has over all of us. I wanted to read it slowly, especially since it was the last book, but each chapter kept me moving and I looked at the clock and it was 2:30am and I was done with the book, and very sad.

Stefy

One of my friends took really long to read it. Every time I called her, she was like on chapter 5 or 10. I couldn't wait for her to finish so that we could talk about it, but she really wanted to savor the book. I got so angry with her. If it was me, I would have not slept and just finished it the next day.

s e r e n i t y

The same thing happened with me and my cousin we got our books on the same day and I finished it in a day but she took a few weeks to finish hers it was so annoying cause I needed someone to discuss the book with!

silver lining

Hee, I was talking about it with my mum and we both realised there are certain things we just didn't get at all because we were speeding through it. If I didn't quite understand something I just figured it must make sense because JKR knows what she's doing, so I let it go

Stefy

I know what you mean. I figured that I would go back some other time and reread it closer, but it would all make sense anyway because it's JKR.
