Brilliant reading, as always with her books. I creid at the funeral.lol
I dont know if it happens to any of you while reading them. But do you feel as though you are THERE with them. Rowling has a way of dragging you into the book, and live what Harry and his chums live. I think its a bit strange that Snape killed Dumbledore. I agree that it was prearranged between them. But we shall have to wait and see in the next book wont we.

Just finished the book and was shocked that it was Dumbledore who died. After reading your posts it makes sense that Snape killed him. I wondered whose side he was on all through the book. He seemed to go back and forth from one side to the other.
I too am looking forward to the next movie and book. Hope it doesn't take her as long to write it.

Are these really, really good? I have never read any of the books or seen the movies bc I didn't think they'd be good.
I started reading the Harry Potter books when the third book came out. First, because my two nieces were RAVING about them and their excitement was infectious. Second, because there seemed to be so much controversy about them, and I wanted to make my own informed decision, and the only way to do that was to read them for myself and make up my own mind.
When I began reading them, I was hesitant and sceptical, and admittedly somewhat nervous about the subject matter, especially after reading so much of the controversial comments made by some of the religious groups. But I very quickly became completely absorbed in the book. What an amazing writer, to be able to capture the reader almost from the first page. I was definitely hooked by the end of the first chapter and continue to be hooked on them.
After reading the sixth book, I went back and re-read the fifth book, then the sixth book again, and am now re-reading the entire series again. I find that after each new book introduces new perspectives and insights, I enjoy re-reading the earlier books with those new perspectives in mind. Being profoundly spiritual, I find a lot of spiritual undertones and enjoy exploring those undercurrents. And with my terrible "mental-pause" memory problems, each time I re-read a book, it's almost as if it's my first time reading it!
The HP books won't be everyone's "cup of tea", but I've met many people like myself, who began reading them for various negative reasons and ended up becoming hooked. It can't hurt to try.
