    Discussion: Rowling, J.K.: Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

    I, too, am finding the LOTR book better than the movies even though I'm not too far into yet. There is just so much more information and story line within the book. Several times I heard fans of the books say that the movies were a very close adaptation and they weren't disappointed and I can...

    Discussion: Rowling, J.K.: Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

    I, like you, joined the forum to read the stories, ideas, opinions and the like from other readers regarding the Harry books. And I, like you, don't get much out of the three word answers a lot of people give. I know there has to be more inside those people (depending on age of course!), I...

    Discussion: Rowling, J.K.: Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

    Please feel free to criticise the book just don't criticise other people's opinions of it. It's all about discussion and sharing ideas and opinions. By all means, you do not have to love the book near as much as I. Can I convince you, you ask? Or, should I say, will I convince you...

    Discussion: Rowling, J.K.: Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

    Well, the reason there are so many books and so many authors out there is because there's something for everyone and not everyone will like everything. However, you can't argue the fact that these are the best selling "children's" books of all time. As for being a brilliant story or a...

    Discussion: Rowling, J.K.: Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

    Not to mention she has always intended that the Harry series be his seven years of school and no further. Maybe she has another series in mind once the Harry's are finished. I know there are millions of people who would love to keep reading about Harry after he graduates but trying to continue...

    Discussion: Rowling, J.K.: Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

    Isn't it amazing that we can all become so attached to the characters in a book. Hobbs mentioned the "emptiness" which is a great word to describe the feelings we have when a book has come to an end. These fictional people start to mean something to us....that I believe is all in the gift of...

    Harry

    I have heard very similar things regarding HP movies and the LOTR movies being that they hold true to the books. If die-hard Tolkien fans don't have negative things to say about the movie, that's a true test of the movie's faithfulness to stay close to the book. I just seem to have this odd...

    Harry

    I find it very interesting to read everyone's thoughts and opinions about the books and the films. JK Rowling certainly does have a special gift for entrancing her readers. We leave the "norm" of our lives and enter this great magical world of Harry. What an inspiring author and person she...
