Harry Potter discussion

OK, so I'm new-er to the Harry Potter book world. I didn't actually start reading the books until the last book came out, because I'm insanely impatient (I'm working on it, haha) and I knew that if I wasn't able to go from one book to the next immediately it would drive me nuts. I'm a pretty fast reader so I finished the series soon after the last book came out, and I'm dieing for the movies to continue....Anyways....A couple weekends ago I had the urge to watch all the movies. I think it stems from knowing that the movie WAS supposed to be coming out next month and I NEED my Harry Potter fix for the year. Ha Ha. But after I watched the movies, I just couldn't stop myself from picking up the books again. In two days I've read through the first book, and almost the entire second book, and that's while working a full time job (and unfortunately, I can't read at my desk)!! This is the second time for me to read through these books, and they still grip me as if it was the very first time I've ever picked them up!! It amazes me that I could be pulled in so easily a second time. I mean there's one, maybe two other books (not series) that I pick up every once and a while to read again, but even when I read those, I don't get pulled in to the book as deep. I read them again more for nostalgia, or just for the comfort of something I know....

I guess the whole purpose of this post was to just find out that I'm not the only one who is crazy enough to pick up the series AGAIN!! And also to find out if anyone else is as engulfed in the words on the page the second time around as I am.

The idea behind the series is just ingenious!! To take a child dreaming of something, anything other than what he has, and give him a dream world, it's every childs dream at some point!! I know that as a kid, I dreamed that someone would come and take me away from my miserable life, and when I read the books I go back to that place and it's like I'm being taken to Hogwarts and given my own fantasy life. Does that make sense?? Am I completely crazy?? I hope I'm not the only one....

Am I the only one??

ur not crazy, ur just a big big fan

lol. no ur crazy, jk.

haha no you're not crazy you loon.

=P i watched the order of the phoenix the other day and then talked about harry potter non-stop for the following two days. my family love me lol. i also have the full intention to read the whole series through again soon.

need that harry potter fix.

LOL!! Well at least now, I know I'm not the only one that needs the Harry Potter fix!! =)

lol

u are def. not crazy!!! if anyone, i am! ask my parents..when i was little, like 6 yrs old i would take the book with me into the bathroom :P
i sometimes pick a book up, open it onto a random page and start reading

lolz

I think it's CRAZY that u had the patience to wait all that time for all of them. But cos u like re-reading them? No way! :)

of course your not crazy!!
i still re-read the hp books>>expetially the last two..

Of course your not crazy. I read Harry Potter every weekend.

now thats crazy

LOLZ, parjit...!!!
M.K, the HP series is really appealing and tha's really normall for the fans to pick one of the books up every now and then & reread it & i really feel what you say , that every time is like the first time...so, WELCOME TO THIS WORLD!!!

My son and I are so obsessed with HP, we listen to the one audio book or the other during free time at home and in the car. And, not necessarily in order!

I do that tooo!!!i love the audio books (jim dale)

i like the jim dale version too! dunno why... i think that that's the only one i've ever listened to actually... i just find his voice, like, idk interesting i guess!

Nope you are certainly not crazy. I started reading the books before the 4th one was out and I have read most of them 2 or 3 times.
I love them all :)

Nah, you're not crazy. I do that every once in awhile, haha. The books are just amazing like that.

I read the Harry Potter series three times a year. I can't help it. I love it! This year, I over did it. I read it five times. But I read tons of other stuff too. What would life be like without books?

My mom keeps telling me to STOP reading because I can never stop reading HP!

lol.

Same here but with my dad Ella.

Once my cousin was over and every night we watched one of the HP movies, in order, from 1 to 4. We couldn't get to #5 because she had to leave. BUT she did come again later and my friends were over too and we watched it. (ever sense #4 for about, say, maybe...five weeks? well ever sense then, I was on HP mode. I drew pictures, wrote all the spells I knew down, I even wrote the script for the scene of Ron and Harry on the train! So, I think I was a little crazy at that time.)

Nice.

I know. I can also do a really good Moaning Myrtle, Luna Lovegood (duh), and Oliver Wood impresson. too bad i can't say them over internet with sounds.

Yea. That would be hard. :)

Unless there was some sort of microphone connection.
(honestly, I can't believe it is coming from my own mouth when I do it. It sounds soooo much like Myrtle!)

When I used to be new to HP I wrote down all of the spells I knew and practiced on my Malfoy poster.

Sorta.....

wow, :)
My dad shouted a Lumos at me and said, "your supposed to fall over."
I looked at him and said, "no, that's stupefy."
Everyone in my family started laughing at me.

LOL. One time..... Swish and flicker I can't think of it now... It'll come back to me later...

I was at an amusement park with my friends and we decided we wanted to go on a ride that was on the other side of the park. I didn't really want to walk, so I grabbed my friends hands and spun in a circle, trying to apparate. They both stared at me like I was crazy. I said, "Shoot. I forgot. I don't have my wand with me." Then I remembered that I don't have a wand and burst out laughing.

Is that really true Megan? If so, LOL! XD

You guys made some cool stories since I made my new account.

WDYM?

This is so cool! I missed all the fun! :O

Wat fun? *Looks arounf for "fun".*

Ella wrote: "Is that really true Megan? If so, LOL! XD"

Yep. It's true. My friends can testify to it. One of them might not though. She didn't like me as much after that.

you're not crazy. Maybe I am though, I have read them more times than I can count, and this year I have read 1, 2, 3, half of 5, and parts of 4.

Yeah, me too. I love them too much. Did I tell you guys I'm making a Harry Potter Dictionary with all of the HP words you could think of in it? So far I have 3 actual pages written down of words I can add, and I have written chapters A, B, and C.

Awesome. :)
