Well, that might have seemed very obvious. Dumbledore being gay seems like an information most of us (it seems to me) were not probably expecting and authors love to give a thrill you know.Originally Posted by Gadget Girl
What's the point? She can always say "no, Dumbledore is Dumbledore and he was in love with McGonagall when they first met". It would be fascinating!
I sang of leaves, of leaves of gold, and leaves of gold there grew.
I know that, Pensive. It's just that Dumbledore and McGonagall being together is a good pairing. Look at Ron and Hermione for example -- it was VERY obvious! I'm a Harry and Hermione shipper because the both of them can be a good couple than Ron and Hermione. I thought that Rowling was just using Ron so that people won't think that Hermione will end up with Harry. I really, really thought that they would be together because it was not expected.

i am a 15 year old reader of all the HP books, and i am saddened by the fact that there wont be any more.
also, you said that they dont supply increase IQ blah blah blah.
that doesnt matter. the thing is, these books are written NOT so that literature people like you can disect them and point out that they dont have good grammar blah blah blah, but they are written for entertainment. it makes me angry with people like you, especially adults, who have never read the books, and are talking about how they are bad and shouldnt have made as much money as they did.
Rowling is an excellent writer and there is nothing i wouldnt give for another harry potter book. the reason kids/teens like them so much is because they take kids away from their current setting and throw them into a different world, if only for a moment. when you read these books it almost feels like you are there. and THAT is why these books make so much money.
Welcome to the forum, andy!
Just look at the poll above and you will see that a vast majority likes the HP books - and they're not all teenagers. These books can even charm adults, "throw them in a different world", as you say. I get the impression that most of the critics that find fault with HP are LOTR fans (or some other fantasy books).
And as for the 7th volume being the last - who knows? Event Conan Doyle had to write another Sherlock Holmes story although he had even gone so far as to kill him!
Actually i thought that they were a nice couple. (oddly enough! Amazing how that came to be true! Its discreetly hinted at in the book.)

I'm sorry to disagree with those who hate HP because it's commercial but in my job in a primary school I see children glued to these books, children that would normally be playing computer games or watching tv, I do think there is to much detail in JKRs writing she doesn't leave much to the imagination but she has got a great many children reading again..
It's true that she doesn't leave much for the imagination, but I am not sure that is needed though. Because of how she describes everything (people, areas, events) you can feel like you're already there, and you don't need to imagine, when you already feel the place.
Just a theory.
I completely agree with you. It makes it more real in the mind of the reader.It's true that she doesn't leave much for the imagination, but I am not sure that is needed though.

Don't be. The Harry Potter mania is still there! Rowling will publish HP encyclopedia to support the things that she didn't mention in all seven books like the background of Dean Thomas, the kid at the train station (7th book), McGonagall, etc.

In third grade I kind of liked the first book. Not enough to read the others though.
Whoah, that's for sure. It won't go away. No worries. That's the benefit of liking very popular things.
Anyways, I read up to the fourth book enjoyably over a span of...a year or two, when I was nine or ten, but I became intensely bored when my mom wanted me to read the fifth one to her. I find that it's the same plot over and over again and that irritated me.
So no, I dont like it, but I do enjoy seeing millions of rabid fans in line to get their books or to get into a Harry Potter party or get their books signed by Rowling herself.
Tomorrow always holds the promise of something new and exciting. I am the Jetsons meet the Flintstones.
