harry potter?

[Cassie]

Wow, what a post! Thank you for really paying attention to that post, you put tons of effort into replying!

Okay, firstly, where on Earth do I start? We are so spookily alike. I'm so happy about this! I had playlists dedicated to Harry Potter in general, the Ron and Hermione Ship and Rupert Grint because I'm in love with him. I say I had because I forgot my account password or username, I have no idea which either is, which is a shame, because I put a lot of effort into building these huge playlists. On my account now, I do have quite a few HP videos, but nothing like I had before, unfortunately.

Then about the OWL Scores, WOW! That is incredibly odd, but really cool! I really enjoyed doing those OWL's though, I actually felt like a witch at Hogwarts. :

Then I have to ask about premieres. I have never been fortunate enough to go to any premieres in my life, never mind any Harry Potter ones, however my mum is considering treating me this year due to some family problems I don't really want to go into much, but she knows I love Harry Potter and she seems like she's really going to let me. I'm going to go with one of my best friends Melissa, if she can. But yes, I have to ask, how does the whole premiere system work? I know nothing about them, so this sounds silly, but, do you have to pay for premieres or can anyone just go for free if your in the location at the time? I'm guessing you have to pay for something as spectacular as that, but I just would like to know. And have you managed to get any autographs? Did you get a hug or kiss from any of the cast? If you did, you are an extremely lucky person, and I shall be jealous of you until the day I too get an autograph/hug/kiss from any of the cast (particularly Rupert!). And do so many people go that if, say you and I went, and I wanted to look out for you, would I be able to spot you?

And before I answer your question, about your very slight complaint... I actually agree. There is a spark, particularly in the first two, that I miss. Even in the third, too. Before their size tripled. I know what you mean. And I agree completely. The thing is though, I did read a Biography about Jo, and she was going through a very rough patch at the time of the fifth book, and I'm ashamed to say I can't remember why. I was 11 at the time of reading this, so I have an excuse.

But even so, and this is where I answer your question, the 6th and 7th are indeed my favourites too. I liked the lighter tone book HBP presented compared with OOTP, which was a lot darker. But then, I felt so miserable at one point when I was reading book 7. The camping in particular, it was kind of draining my joy of having the book in my hands after so long of waiting. Not because I thought it was poorly written or boring or anything of the sort, I just missed Hogwarts. It makes me feel happy ! But Deathly Hallows is my favourite, particularly the war at the end, it's so enticing, I just got completely lost in it. Sometimes it was really funny to read that scene, others very depressing. There are a lot of deaths there, but one in particular upset me, though I won't say incase I spoil it for someone. There were so many deaths though, I was in utter shock. But I loved it when Ron and Hermione kissed! They are utterly adorable, I've been wanting them to get together since I was just 11! I started reading them when I was 6, but I wasn't interested (I didn't even notice) in the romances then.

Question for Bambi - How long did it take you to read Deathly Hallows?
