I’m going to miss the series. Perfect, no, but immensely enjoyable.

I am left wanting more…

I think its safe to confess now that everyone has moved on. I haven’t read a word of any Harry Potter book. I’ve seen two of the movies and enjoyed them. I haven’t seen any of the Lord of the Rings trilogy because I read the books, starting with The Hobbit of course, when they came out and I love them so much I don’t want the movies to ruin that. I’m so illpotterate. I’ll see the movie though… when its on dvd.

Tanbark and Larue… you know the ‘pubs may be too stiff for that and I shudder to think of the youtube questions they choose for their show. Can 27%ers even make youtubes? They always let the dems go first at anything, then repeat what was said, then act like they invented something. They’d be better off playing a round of Twister while imitating Linda Blair …. with billo as the moderator. Gaaaack!

Tanbark @ 87

Here I go again; non-pottery…:o)

The DellNewsPage just put up a substantial piece (By David Bauder) about the liberal pressure being brought to bear on FoxNews’ advertisers.

The article was fair and balanced.

(Tanbark grins one of Larue’s evil grins…:o))

Heh heh heh . . .

Followup:

The Pub Pretzel Candy Dates (sans diapers) are hesitant to do a YuoTube debate it’s being said. VERY RELUCTANT!!! They is.

But the Thuggery Constituency general pubic is urging them on to play.

I can’t wait for THAT one!!

Popcorn, with top shelf congac methinks, THAT night!!!

*evilgrin*

Okay. Just a bit of a tiff. I am sick and tired of people bitching about Neville pulling the sword out of the Sorting Hat. The sword was never in the blipping Sorting Hat in the second book! The Sorting Hat is an ancient and powerful artifact according to Dumbledore and it brings forth what is called. And, as Dumbledore said, only a true Gryffindor could pull out the sword.

Get it? Neville, who at the end of the first book, won the competition for Gryffindor by bravely standing up to his friends (a very Gryffindor trait, that: doing what is right), slew Nagini by pulling out a sword that could only be summoned by a true Gryffindor.

The whole last two chapters are rife with allusions to the first book (meeting Voldemort in the forest; Hagrid carrying Harry “home” afte rhe was hit with avada kedavra”, etc.) That people cannot get over Neville pulling out the sword makes me wonder about their reading comprehension skills.

To all the Harry Potter fans who will be feeling let down and emotionally drained, I have one thing to say to you:

It’s called FANFICTION! :-) Write UR Own. Take a look at that Fanfiction site: there’s over 300,000 Harry Potter stories already! And that’s with Book 7 just released last week. Expect 300,000 more of people writing their own “Year 8″ series….

Another late arriver.

Anyway, I have one question about The Deathly Hallows. It’s not really spoilerish, since it’s about a minor charcter introduced in the last book, so I’ll skip the white space:

Who the hell raised Teddy?

Am arriving here very late, but want to correct a teensy error.

The Horatio Hornblower series (which I’ve never read, but remember fondly my parents speaking of with great affection) was NOT written by C.S. Lewis.

The author was C.S. Forester. (an easy mistake to make!)

C.S. Lewis wrote the Narnia series (which I grew up reading and loved dearly many, many years before the fundies latched hold of the books and almost — but not quite — spoiled them for me by association).

well, maybe they read the cliff notes, and the “Left Behind” series …..

And they hate you when you quote the inconvenient bits to them.

TOO RIGHT!

I gather from various reports that many Fundies do not read the bible at all … they just believe what they are told the bible says.
