Deathday Party - seemed like filler to me. Not a big fan. StormCrow Send a noteboard - 21/07/2010 02:33:53 PM
Thoughts, feelings, etc.


I know there's some importance to the ghosts in later books, but I can't remember this linking into that. Maybe just a nod to a future need for the ghosts, but at the time it seems unnecessary.

I can't remember how much I hated him the first read Deadsy - 21/07/2010 03:44:15 AM 2014 Views
You're right. It's not as bad the second (or third) time around with him. StormCrow - 21/07/2010 01:54:01 PM 1797 Views
I don't think I ever truly "hated" Lockheart Seriana Sedai - 26/07/2010 06:09:20 AM 1798 Views
My problems with Dobby are very different from my problems with Lockhart Camilla - 21/07/2010 07:02:55 AM 1888 Views

This section really brought home to me how well Rowling writes about love and relationships. Rebekah - 21/07/2010 07:22:43 PM 1913 Views
That last remark made me check out the names in the French translation... Legolas - 26/07/2010 05:18:36 PM 1954 Views
Don't get me started on the Norwegian translation. Camilla - 26/07/2010 09:52:09 PM 1878 Views

Thoughts on the movie quality Deadsy - 21/07/2010 04:15:20 AM 1607 Views
I always felt that the first two movies were the best, and the others bungled the atmosphere. *NM* lord-of-shadow - 21/07/2010 03:08:29 PM 1032 Views
I wonder if Rowling ever looks back and wishes she could change some stuff Dark Knight - 21/07/2010 06:44:41 PM 1719 Views

Yes, but the two possibilities in Rebekah's post were either Wednesday or next Monday. Legolas - 27/07/2010 10:33:10 PM 1998 Views
