Maybe I'm just growing out of the series, or maybe I just don't like the thought of the cute sweet little characters growing up, but I think it was mostly lacking that something that drew me to the series in the first place which would take too long to explain here. Sorry if I'm stepping on anybody's toes, but that's how I feel..
I totally agree. I feel like it is lacking that sense of "magic" (no pun intended) that made the first couple of books genuinely good. It just isnt the same anymore when Rowling knows that she has a grand following and she's rich.

Yeah, dunno, I'd say the books are good, but they keep getting more and more depressing... after I read her later books( five and six) I get so depressed o.O;
She doesn't really add anything all that new... The spells, the ideas... they're all quite similar to the ones she's used before, dunno o.O;;;
What I REALLY don't agree with is how they're saying that she's changed the whole meaning of Fantasy, and stuff like that. They're good books, but I don't think she's caused any major changes, or any changes at all. A lot of authors have wonderful ideas. Haven't they all contributed to the fantasy world of literature?

I'm still terrified for my two favourites, Malfoy and Snape.

Oh oh, me too! And what's worse is I have a nasty feeling they're both going to die...![]()
I'm trying to get through A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens. I'm finding it really hard to get past the first ten chapters. I keep stopping and having to re-read again to figure out what's happening. o_0
