I couldn't even get through half of the first harry potter book. It wasn't exciting at all. I really don't get why people like it so much; Jonathan Stroud's writing is sooo much better. I hope that when the movie The Amulet of Samarkand comes out it will be bigger than Harry Potter. What do you think?

Utukku Posts: 429 Group: Members Member #1,713 Joined: August 18, 2007	Same.... I really can't decide which is my favorite series..... I loved the 5th and 6th Harry Potter books but the Deathly Hallows was a disappointment .....And on the other hand there's Ptolemy's Gate which is like my favorite book....

Mite Posts: 8 Group: Members Member #7,513 Joined: September 30, 2008	Definitely The Bartimaeus Trilogy. The first few Harry Potter books were actually quite nice, but then they started to boring coz the story line is always the same. Voldermort is back, Harry and the whole wizard community is in danger, bla bla bla. And, I have to say, the ending was lame.

Djinni Posts: 1,072 Group: Members Member #4,033 Joined: January 8, 2008 Gender: Female Favourite Book: Fast Food Nation	Actually, as much as I love the HP books, I would have liked it better if something wrong happened btwn Harry and Ginny (like Voldy coming to kidnap Ginny, Harry chases after them, Voldy threatining to kill Ginny if Harry destroys another Horcrux because Voldy found out already, and Harry taking Ginny's place). Something like that. Seriously, the relationship wasn't that...convincing. >< (Well, Nat and Kitty could be in the same situation too.)

So annoying. Luna is cooler. Edited by FuzzyLobster, Oct 1 2008, 11:55 PM.

Utukku Posts: 429 Group: Members Member #1,713 Joined: August 18, 2007	Yes I agree....Ginny should have died or even Harry....It would be a really sad ending but it would probably be the best....I hated the epilogue of Deathly Hallows....Seriously gross....They all had kids and named them stupid names (like Hugo.....UGH!!! )... I recently re - read AoS and GE and I think that the Bartimaeus Trilogy is better written and the last book is much better than the last Harry Potter book...
