[imdying]

Yeeesh, Dobby and Wormtail all right... don't you read the news? :rofl:

[Gareth123]

Harry and Hermione finally get it on too. With pictures included:laugh:

[imdying]

At least Dobby doesn't get pwned too bad, Wormtail chokes himself :rofl:

Lots of adults buying the book in the shopping centre today - I saw one woman reading it while waiting outside the supermarket. No scenes of pandemonium which was a bit disappointing!

You can argue that the books are the modern equivalent of Enid Blyton, but I don't care. The storylines are engaging and they have got heaps of kids ( and some adults) reading who wouldn't otherwise have been interested, so it's all good from my point of view.

Best modern kids fantasy books - Philip Pullman, His Dark Materials trilogy. Effin brilliant!!

[Gareth123]

Phillip Pullman wrote those quite a while ago didn't he? A trilogy i think. The Northern Lights, Subtle knife and another that I can't remember? Or am i way off track?

And yes Phillip Pullman is an awesome writer!

Yes, they are about 10 years old.
The movie of the golden compass is out next month I think. It looks like they've done a great job. Fingers crossed, anyway.

I haven't read any of his other books.

I'll buy HP for the plane ride when I come back to NZ next month. That'll keep me busy.

I have! :banana:

Waaaa! I am 125th on the hold list at the library. :bye:

[Mr Merde]

Was going to pop down to the bookshop and get a copy but fell into a bottle of rum instead.

looks like I will have to wait till tomorrow.


Mr:shit:

My wife msg'd me at 11:01 to say she had her copy from the bookstore. She is now up to page 277.

Personally, I'm going to read the last chapter and wait for the movie ;)

[Delphinus]

I'm nearly half way through it :)

[ZeroIndex]

hahaha, this is so sad... I personally thought the 1st two movies were utter crap, and I don't plan on watching the 3rd, and since people who liked the book raved about the movie, I don't even plan on reading the back of the covers on any of the books... HARRY POTTER IS A STUPID!!!
Ps. is this scene in the book/movie?

Im a cheapskate. I know at least 5 people who will have it today that I can lend it off soon... :D

[Street Gerbil]

They say the electronic copy is all over the intarwebs already.
I am a bit amused by an apparent unhealthy influence of Farscape on the author, though... Is she trying to say that Malfoy Jr. has married a Scarran girl? :dodge:

[Xile]

Hey guys!
Don't want to buy it because I have the other books in French at home and want to have the whole in the same language/serie.
Is it possible to borrow you the book some time, after you finish it, your mates did, etc...?
Cheers!!
