Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows 2.0 NO SPOILERS!!!!

[kgncoughlin]

The other thread was getting to the point were all people talked about was spoilers and things like that.

10 hours 40 mins wooh

this is for discussion only!!!!!!

NO SPOILERS
if a mod could delete all spoilers that get posted that would be excellent

[MaKiMaKi13]

you gonna pick it up at midnight im guessing?

[roycegracie47]

The reason I stayed away from the other thread was for that very reason. I've added a NO SPOILERS to the thread title should that not be clear enough.

My family has the book on pre-order through amazon, so either my mom or I will get first crack at it since we're the only ones who read fast enough.

[LaxDman62]

Ive heard of people going to the midnight with shirts that show the spoliers. Also some drive by and play a cd giving away what happens at the relase. I think this is halarious since people make such a big deal out of it.

good idea i pre-ordered mine at the local borders so ill probably just go and pick it up bright and early tomorrow

[JLLOMMER]

I will kill them, If some one ruins this for me, after waiting like 10 years or however long since the first book came out, I will literally killl them. Im bringing my lax stick, and if someone starts a sentence containing a spoiler, there getting a swift poke check to the larynx...

[ML_LAX09]

I heard last year when people were in line to pick the book up, some people got the book and ran down the line saying Dumbeldore dies! Dumbeldore dies! ( Note, This happens in HBP, but I'll still put it in white just in case. Highlight to read) I found that funny.

But yea, I can't go with my sister to get it at midnight because I have a tourny, (So she is going by herself) but I'll read it when i get home.

[mullengoal141]

i'm going into a kroger at midnight because they arent having a release party... thus im less likely to have it spoiled.. i really will kill anyone who even mentions it

anyone ever see that scrubs episode where dr. cox spoils "the 6th sense" tro the janitor... i love that show...

hhaha yea....

[FamousAmos]

I cant wait to pick a copy, but i bet theyre going to be sold out everywhere

[LiquidMercury16]

Yah I'm going to leave the bar early, go get the book, read the last chapter, go back to the bar and ruin it for anyone there that was interested in reading it. And yes scrubs is an awesome show.

[EricL]

You guys do know when I typed up that thing in the other thread I wrote in white "Im just joking" in white. You would have found out if you saw the empty space/quoted me.

-edit I just made the whole thing up about the ending in other thread, looks like a mod deleted my white and wrote spoiler lol....

Just finished the book, the last chapter was really corny, it read like a children's book. This is my least favorite book in the whole series. The book had parts that dragged on and on while other parts were "poof" heres a major fact that comes out of no where.

[JLLOMMER]

Merc...Don't do it, you will ruin people's lives!!!

[LiquidMercury16]

Yah but I'm ok with that....it will be well worth the amusement.

[ItalyLaxer11]

Nice Hey U played at Oxford HS?

[Mike21]

Im just going to get one at a library, why pay for books, unless you collect them.

[MaKiMaKi13]

I cant wait to pick a copy, but i bet theyre going to be sold out everywhere

actually they usually arent sold out since most stores order books ontop of the pre-orders if anything they usually overstock

[mullengoal141]

Yah I'm going to leave the bar early, go get the book, read the last chapter, go back to the bar and ruin it for anyone there that was interested in reading it. And yes scrubs is an awesome show.

not a good idea, people in their drubnken stupor do crazy things.

i'd be suprised it you made it out of the bar afterwards with only minor cuts from broken bottles

[czechinthepipes]

I cant believe I actually read the spoiler in the other thread, I am so stupid, haha.
I am still gonna get the book though.
My main fear is that it seems kinda over-hyped. But still I'm excited to read it.

[kgncoughlin]

the library takes so long to get one and its much more fun to own it

i leave for the beach on sunday so i think i might finish it on the beach and if something that i didnt want to happen happens it will prolly ruin my whole vacation so i hope that everything is good and the book isnt over hyped

Thank You to royce gracie for changing the title to help avoid any spoilers

[HdGLaxWarrior]

so apparently we cant talk about what happens in previous books.

[ghs/wylax]

so apparently we cant talk about what happens in previous books.

But there was a comment left on that video that gave away the last line of the book. Granted I'm not as much as a HP fan as some, I was looking forward to reading this without knowing part of the ending.

oh ok. i never realized that. if i spoiled the ending for you, i apologize. :DOH:

[Green34]

Hey guys, i am going to a lacrosse tournament tomorrow and i am also going to get hpdh tonight, i was planing to stay up all night and read it but i only found out i had the tournament an hour ago, should i stay up late and read or get my sleep for lacrosse?

[mullengoal141]

this is the most difficult "lacrosse or this" question ever stated on the forums, and i have no idea what to tell you. do what you body says to do i guess

[kgncoughlin]

read half then sleep

1 hour 4 mins i'm so pissed i couldnt go my parents went out of town and my ride got sick i'm so pissed

[aisixers376]

yeah that was a funny episode. and then the janitor spoils the lakers game for dr. cox(or that might have been a different episode) good show good show

[aisixers376]

that sucks. im not going either but both my brothers are and they are gonna stay up all night reading and finish it, so i will have it by tomorrow morning.

[ALEX WIZ]

I will also be buying one, problay tomorrow. And I have all the time in the world to read and play video games since my collar bone is broken. Also its not that long only 700 and some pages. WOOT WOOT.

[RARunner91]

haha I just got back from Barnes and Noble and got the book. I drove my sister there, and there was a line all the way accross the parking lot to even get in the store! My sister is upstairs reading it now, but I could care less. I'll probably read it eventually.

[aisixers376]

my bros just got it. they will be reading all night and be finished in the morning so i had to do no work and not wait in lines and im still getting it by the next morning. score one for sixers!

[laxmann1993]

I get to read it last, because I'm a slow reader, but its only a few days wait. So, who is going to read the last few chapters first to ruin the ending? Thats what my friend did in HBP.

[MaKiMaKi13]

Anytime now a pdf or a word document is going to pop up on the internet lol..

-edit I checked its out already -_-, if anybody wants a copy, just pm me.

If anybody has the real book can you confirm that the first sentence of chapter 29 "The Lost Diadem" is "Neville -what the - how-?"


i can confirm that for you , man this book is intense got it at like 8 this morning

[BAlax19]

i just finished i havent slept since like 26 hours ago

[atacklax]

I was up until 4 in the morning reading. I have no respect for myself anymore.

[roycegracie47]

My copy just came in the mail. I'd drop everything and read it right now, but I am so close to finishing 2 other books and my Mom did ask for first crack (and I'd like to think I'm a good son) that I'll leave it until later in the week when she's done.

For those of you who enjoy tales of modern day magicians I recommend two other more adult targeted options if you still have the magic bug after finishing the HP series.

1) Sergey Lukyanenko's Night Watch tetralogy (it predates HP by about a year or two). The first 3 book have been translated into english (Night Watch, Day Watch and Dusk Watch, I have no idea if and when Final Watch is coming stateside) and feature tales of Others, Magicians, Witches, Vampires, Werewolves, Demons and such living in modern day Moscow waging on both sides of an ancient cease fire. The Night Watch (Light) and Day Watch (Dark) both police the treaty (apart from the mysterious Inquisition) and you never really know whose schemes and intrigues are really within the boundaries of right and wrong. The first novel was also made into 2 movies that saw limited release here in the states, but are both very well done (titled Night Watch and Day Watch, though the second has nothing to do with the eponymous 2nd book).

2) There is always room for DC/Vertigo's John Constantine: Hellblazer. A very cynical tale of modern day magic (I'd also recommend Fables since it's fairy tales with a modern/grown up twist). Skip the movie though, it was nothing like Alan Moore's vision (again...) although the Night Watch movies and novels are very close to the feel of the comic.

[mullengoal141]

this book is one hundred percent crazy

so much goes on, all of the time.

its just twist turn plot twist bam in your face.

that pretty much sums up the first half of the book at least

[BAlax19]

who here has finished it yet?

[Rllax19]

done. I hated the ending.

[HCrum05]

I just went to walmart and got it. I look forward to reading it.

[MaKiMaKi13]

who here has finished it yet?

i'm more trying to savor the last book as opposed to just breeze through it and find out the ending

[iplaylax22]

this was definately the best book in the series

[WalmartShopp3r]

i finished it at like 5 in the morning today. Andi have to say this is one of the best books ive ever read, also i think that the ending is good but not great

[Midlax0223]

im half done, and this is by far the best book in the series

[goalieskcickay]

done. I hated the ending.

Do you mean the very last section, or the entire resolution? I liked the book alot, but am glad it's over.

[middleton23]

do you guys think it will be sold out if i go to barnes and noble tomorrow? i didn't wanna hang out with the freaks til midnight this mornign but i wanna read it

[HRlax]

got it at like 11 this morning. on page 44 and im lovin it like no other.

[HdGLaxWarrior]

wow. that was the best book of the series. many twists.

[mullengoal141]

is anyone else just super depressed that this is the end?

[FitzGoalie]

is anyone else just super depressed that this is the end?

i thought i was going to be...but this book was just...well, beautiful. it was theperfect way to end it. it didn't feel forced or anything. there was just....closure. this is by far my favorite of every book.

*EDIT* I did think the denouement was uneccessary and kind of cheesy though.

[mass_elite21]

i agree with fitz, the book was amazing, just the way the ending should be, but the last chapter was corny. i would have preferred another chapter about the rest of that final day, and watching individuals' relationships bloom...if youknow what i mean ;)

[mvlax11]

This book is pretty intense front to back. I started it not knowing what to expect, and it quickly reminded my of why I enjoyed this series so much and then some. It gripped me from the second I tore open the package in which it came. It definitely completes the series without a doubt.

[MaKiMaKi13]

just finished it book is amazing i would have to say definitely my favorite out of the whole series , liked the epilogue as well very intense read

[Midlax0223]

done, it was absolutely amazing. i personally liked the ending a lot, i may reread it soon to make sure i didnt miss anything

[killman3680]

is anyone else just super depressed that this is the end?

yeah, I feel like a part of me is missing. I just sat there after reading for an hour.

[James]

I am on page 400 somthin
So far amazing. My sister just hijacked the book otherwise I would be reading

[Wavelax4]

I was up until 4 in the morning reading. I have no respect for myself anymore.

hahahahaha

[LiquidMercury16]

Oh come off it, the epliogue was good. They aren't going to write in ron and hermoine gettin freaky with it on a broom stick or somethin like that. I'm surprised she put a cuss word in it at the end like that but it definitely game it some emphasis and followed the lines along a darker book.

[tiplax]

i got the book saturday around noon and finished it last night around 10 (had to work other wise i would have finished it the 1st day)
it was my favorite, and i breezed throught it cause it was so exciting but when i finish my other summer reading for school, i think i'm gonna re-read all 7 cause i don't remember the early ones

[zack Attack 12]

i think i'm gonna re-read all 7 cause i don't remember the early ones

yeah i finished it sunday afternoon about 4 or 5 pm and sat there depressed, mad that it was over, but pumped with the ending, i loved the book best one by far...except litttle upset about the epilogue, was hoping to find out more about what harry did for a living, how everything else was getting along, who was raising Teddy, lupins son just some loose ends...otherwise great and i too plan on rereading them all..funny how i hate reading too

[Spartan]

how did ron get into the chamber of secrets if he doesn't speak parseltounge, and how did he get out?

[MiddieMan05]

how did ron get into the chamber of secrets if he doesn't speak parseltounge, and how did he get out?

well it says Ron just tried a few times and somehow he did it. I didn't really get how that happened, but it is what it is.

[faceofflax15]

They return to the Chamber of Secrets in this book?

[MaKiMaKi13]

They return to the Chamber of Secrets in this book?

they dont really go to indepth about getting into the chamber

[DJ Death]

awesome book. the end was amazing. happy endings make me feel all warm inside. my favorites part was definitely the climactic Battle of Hogwarts. it was epic.

[Bedford lax13]

awesome book. the end was amazing. happy endings make me feel all warm inside. my favorites part was definitely the climactic Battle of Hogwarts. it was epic.


The people are who make the movie is going to exaggerate that so much. its going to go on for like an hour

[-HSKR-]

Some friends of mine bought the book on their church mission trip and read it aloud on the bus and made some kids cry because they ruined it for them. :laugh:

[GoBucks]

how did ron get into the chamber of secrets if he doesn't speak parseltounge, and how did he get out?

He just started hissing a lot, but I don't know how he got out.

It was an awesome book. IMO it's the best book of the series. It really kept my interest the whole time once the plot got going.

[XxlacrossexX]

When the movie comes out for this book, make sur to stay after the credits. That will probably be when theyhave the epilogue
