That's just doing the same thing as the religious fanatics do.

OMG HP THE DEVIL!!

Read the Satanic Verses?

HP is the first thread to go into this alternate universe thing. Yay.

Edit: Crap, spam.

Half-Blood prince?

It was a pretty good read, infact I just picked it up last night and read abit.


Guesses on who RAB is?

I think RAB is Sirius's little bro, Regulus Black; his initials fit.

I hope it's not Reg. It'd be too predictable.

I had figured it was Reg when I had first read the initials on that letter to Voldie. I came at me like an epiphany or something.

If it's Sirius's bro, I'm gonna be pissed. Rowling is the master of subtle implications, (Well, except in the sixth book.) she could do better.

Who else could it be? It would be so lame if she introduced a new character in the very end

There are other characters with B as their last name. The last book could focus on them more and thus, RAB.

But yes, it's probably Reg.

*sigh*

I really didn't like the 6th book all that much to tell you the truth.

The 6th book was like a teenage soap where all the characters are very cynical and debauched.

It was Rowling's attempt to progress them to be more teenager like.

It's PREDICTABLE. Is a new, more nuaced villain too much to ask?

It'll be the last book, she can't introduce a whole bunch of new characters if they affect the plot that much...
Ahem, for all diehard HP fans (eg ME), next summer is going to be the best ever! Hope the movie doesn't get too messed up, though...the fifth book was long, complicated, and angsty, which might be ahrd to turn into a decent movie...
Meh. So, which did you guys look forward to more...the sixth HP book or Ptolemy's Gate?

Hmm, don't know that's a toughie for me. All I know were the outcomes post reading them. Ptolemy's Gate turned out to be better then I expected and HBP turned out to be slightly dissapointing.

I can't remember. All I can tell you is that I bought Ptolemy's Gate before it came out and got HBP from the library, and I didn't regret either of those decisions.

That is a hard one, I must be sad to admit I bought the 6th book sooner after it came out than Ptolemys Gate, but only because HP was hyped so much more.

I gave up on Harry after book IV. Holy Mediocracy, Voldermort!

I bought HP the following morning. Had a ticket to the midnight party but I had a long day and was too tired to stay. (Yes, how loyal of me, I know.)

And Ptolemy's Gate, hmm, I just bought it when I first saw it in the bookstores. I didn't know the release date of the book, no one could ever give me a clear date. So I was expecting it to come out mid January, I didn't know.

Yeah, I was counting down the days for both of them...except I thought PG was coming out Feb 1 and then I looked on the internet and it was out already...I was at the bookstore about twenty minutes later...
I liked PG better than HBP by a long shot...although I did really like HBP, as one of the ebst of the series. So that tells you how much I love PG...

HBP just felt...like a first draft to me. Like if the entire writing was just rushed to get the story done or something.

I have my finest wines ready for the celebrations when Potter finally dies...
