I grew up with Harry, and he was older than me in the series finish (I'm currently 16 and will be 17 come January), and it is with these cherished memories of looking through Hogwarts that evokes such a strong distaste towards the idea of an encyclopedia.

Now if only they would make the Scrubs movie....

I'm quite fond of Riverhead, as they're the folks I'd like to see something with my name on it published from. ...Or am I getting this all wrong? EDIT: And to answer your question, RandomHouse seems to be a juggernaut in the publishing world; at least, I see a lot of books with their stamp...

No, that's not the title of the book I'm about to praise, but it is the phrase that rushed through my head like a metronome while reading it. Anyhow, I haven't been able to find anything to read as of late, and though the abundance of books has been great, the feeling of being pleased has been...

Yeah, but see, it's that kind of crap that turns something once beautiful and memorable into something both horrible and mundane. If she does decide to catch a bad case of mediocre-writer's diarrhea, then I hope the backlash is strong. And, as much as I loved the Harry Potter novels, I doubt...

I see what you mean, but if all else failed then that could be an indicator to the writer in question that they must improve before trying to be published. One thing that bothers me when listening to a would-be writer's sob story is how they've been "sending out the same manuscript that I slaved...

That does not lighten my shock.

Yes, but agents are the ones who mercilessly bitch slap you until you're good enough to face a publisher. I'd recommend an agent first.

No Spider-Man? Preposterous. Asinine. Ludicrous. Foul. Disturbing. Wrong. TREACHEROUS! I am appaled by that books blatant useage of lies!

Yeah, um...even with Order of the Phoenix and on, Harry Potter never felt "dark," for me; I always cringed when someone told me it was maturing, but maybe that's only because the characters, to me, have always felt like 2D cut outs. Don't get me wrong, I still loved the final book despite my...

[Not to mention we didn't any real sense of a comfortable closure; no funeral commemorating Fred, Lupin, Tonks, or any of the others who died fighting. Nope, we get nineteen years later and get to see that hey, everything turned out A-O-K. All is well! It did what it was supposed to, as Harry...

I forgot all about Neville's family relation to her. ...Damn, now I'm really perturbed.

There were too many plot holes in that book; if you fret on them your heart will sink. *Hermione memory wipes parents, sends them off to Australia* *100 pages later after knocking out a Death Eater she claims to have never done a memory wiping curse* Among a few others.

Aha, nice switch in avatars Peronel; to fit the mood, eh? Anyhow, I agree with the epilogue comment, however, the one thing provided in there that made me smile was Harry bestowing his youngest sun with the middle name of Severus (And I'm sure James took the Sirius mantel, but I suppose...

I felt out of place, everyone gossiping and theorizing while I gawked over a Playboy magazine that I found all abandoned and alone on a rack a few feets away from me. Get it, rack? Huh? Get it? Anyone? ...Harry Potter is over *Walks in, face in hands*

You obviously failed to see the hidden plethora of knowledge contained within the lines. If you read more Harry Potter you'd understand. ...Oh my God there I go again. *Walks away crying*

Harry Potter was like the Millenium Force. You know...those awesomely huge hills, and then you wait....and wait, and then you're on the awesomely huge hills again. And just when it's unbelievably awesome, it's suddenly over. And then you're walking away crying...because you'll never see...

Phew, thanks Eyez. I read that post but was uncertain whether I wanted to accept responsibility of being the asshole or not. You did perfectly well, though.

I was high and there were a million number seven's floating in front of my eyes.

... Holy crap.
