I actually have a scar (little one) in the middle of my forehead, but it isn't HarryPotter related

The Harry Potter series is actually quite entertaining and kept me away from the comp.

It gave me insomnia, killed a spider, made me crazy, and I did get a scar from it, not on my forehead though, on my leg, my sis threw it at me o_O I'm on chapter 8 of the 5th book and am reading it right now. *had head stuck in book and fingers typing liek nuts at the same time* It also gave me a strange supernatural poetic talent, with all those big fancy words in there and crap. *looks up, 'food' in dictionary*

Harry Potter is a great series. I've been reading them since they came out, and the latest one kept me awake many, many nights reading it

I can't quite figure your comment out Max. Is it because Britain is wrongly used, as it is big and has many, some rather different, accents in it? Or what?

:

How can you hate a book character? He's not real you know?

I liked the Harry Potter books but I don't think I will read the new one. Reading doesn't appeal to me now. And I think I have outgrown Harry.

The many accents thing. Granted someone from another country will most likely not be able to tell the different between a Norfolk accent and a Norwichian accent, or even a Norfolk accent and a West Country accent... but is a British accent meant to be Scottish, Welsh, Cornish, Cockney or Queen's English. I'd wager the last one, but it still seems silly.

I've never read a Harry Potter book or seen any of the movies, but I saw the trailers, and was quite bemused about why they showed loads of bits that demonstrated very bad acting. Plus it's got Brian Blessed in, so I'm keeping my distance from them. The books I did decide once I wanted to read them, but to be honest I don't care for wizardry and magic. *yawn*

i ddin't mind the first 3 books, but number 4 was a big dissapointment. I haven't even bothered with the 5th book because my sisters finished in twice and i am yet to see it.

You should hear my lil brother try and say Harry Potter spells. Haha, he goes around the house with a wooden spoon yelling, "galalusha!" I have no clue what spell he is trying to say, or what it does, but it's really cute. ^_^

Hello paramud. I have read all of the Harry Potter books. I do enjoy them so much. I would say that they may have given me insomnia also, because sometimes I have not gone to sleep because I did not want to put the book down!!!!!!
