About a year ago, my niece came begging to me. It was between her
birthday and Christmas and she wanted copy of the latest Harry Potter
book. Like many adults, I thought the Harry Potter novels were 'kids
books' but didn't object to anything that got kids to read.
My sister (her loss) was concerned about all she heard about 'Harry
Potter being Satanic' and asked if I could read the books to check
that they were acceptable for her kids and that was my downfall.
A year later I have read all 4 books at least 20 times and went broke
buying copies of all 4 books for over 10 nephews and nieces. Thanks
to JKR I have a family of readers who beg their uncle for books for
Christmas and all of us want the 5th book YESTERDAY!!!
Arguments of Ginny/Harry Hermione/Harry Hermione/Ron aside, I have a
hard time remembering it's only the 4th book and there's 3 more years
for Harry and friends.
At the end of Goblet of Fire, Harry, Ron, & Hermione are all only 14
(Ginny only 13) and all rumors have Harry's adventures continuing
through 7 years of Hogwarts and climaxing in the 7th.
A few rantings:
PLEASE JKR
1) Hurry with Book 5! We're all going through Harry withdrawl!
2) No characters going to the dark side. The entire western world was
raised on Star Wars and Lord of the Rings. Please no corrupting of
the main characters (or their families)
3) It's TOO EARLY to match up 13 & 14 year olds. As this is a
grownups club, How many of you met your future spouses at that age?
4) PLEASE STOP THE DEATH PREDICTIONS!!! Harry does not have to die at
the climax! He can live happily ever after! How would you have
handled knowing at 14 that you would save the world and be famous,
but by the way... you're going to die at age 18, so don't bother
getting too connected to anyone... or falling in love... or anything
that makes life worth living...
Done with my ranting... Sorry
Please JKR! Release BOOK 5 SOON!!!!!
