No spoilers, please. But what did you think of it?

I'll wait for the movie.....
Life is great for me... Most of the time... But then I meet people online... Very few are real friends... Many say they are but know nothing of what it means... Some say they are, but are so shallow...

I've bought it as it was at a price I didn't think I could better, but I am still only half way through Book 5. I got fed up with the stroppy adolescent syndrome after dealing with them for thirty years. After all it is supposed to be escapism.

I dream of boys with big bulges in their trousers,
Never of girls with big bulges in their blouses.
…and look forward to meeting you in Cóito.

Hi All,
I found the first two thirds of the book slightly tedious. It was too much "more of the same" - "Harry goes to school, Harry suspects that something is going on, Harry investigates", plus "Harry gets a girlfriend" (incidentally, there are no gay characters in the whole of the Harry Potter universe). The last third was more dramatic, though still not terribly original. Only the last chapter of all promised that perhaps the next book could be a departure from the standard formula.
If you condense the whole Harry Potter series into a three-act structure, then the end of book 6 is the end of the second act. We've had enough exposition to know exactly what it is that Harry needs to do in the next book, so the stage is now set for the triumfant return of Good against Evil (TM).
It's worth reading if you've read the others and want to know what happens next. Otherwise, just wait for the film.

Good Lord... how on earth did I manage that?
Triumphant, of course.

I felt the same at the end of books 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 as well as 6.
Why do so many people want Draco Malfoy to be gay, too? Ugly brat from where I stand!
