Lupin – Defense Against the Dark Arts
Harry Potter: Which Hogwarts professor would you be?
brought to you by Quizilla
Hmmm I am Defense Against the Dark Arts am I? Well that’s for the best as I am all about saving the world from death and destruction and evil! I was destined to be a Charmed One! I knew it! *packing bags to head to Hogwarts now! First stop, Diagon Alley!* I promise that I will last more than one school year! I shall break the curse!
Now I just have to say, I’m anxious for the new Harry Potter book to come out. Not anxious for the size. I’m an adult, I don’t mind reading a 1000 page book but I wonder what it will mean for the kids! Of course, I need to get cracking as I’ve only read the first two books. But I won’t buy the new one till it is out in paperback so I’m OK. I am trying to read the books spaced out to make them last longer so it doesn’t feel like I am waiting so long for a new one to come out. Besides, my reading list is a mile long!
Harry Potter is an excellent series. Especially for kids. There is nothing evil about them. If you think there is I suggest you really look into the Wiccan religion so you can see there is nothing wrong with it. Enough said. I will continue no further. But do not post to me about the evils of witchcraft and Harry Potter and Pokemon or anything else! There is true evil in the world to worry yourself over. Rant over, here’s a hug for you! *HUGS*
Hey velvetcat, look! I finally stole one of your quizzes instead of you mine! Good choice girl!

I’m Snape, together we are deadly 😉
You know, I’ll never understand this perceived evilness of the series by certain groups. And I’ve heard an earful from an in-law about the evils of HP. I didn’t say a word. I’m not going to argue with this kind of close mindedness by those who’ve clearly not read the books. Because if they had bothered to read each book rather than a few paragraphs containing spells, they’d find the heroes don’t celebrate evil but fight it. The young adults in the books are perfect role models IMO. Nuff said.

Re: That’s you for sure
I agree. It is crazy. But it also shows close-mindedness. I’m Christian yes, but I have taken the time to look into alternate religions and witchcraft (which is what most people are against in the HP books) is not innately evil. There is a lot of good to be learned from the Wiccan religion. I find it sad that people fear what they do not know.
Harry Potter isn’t really about the magic anyway. It is about a boy at school who has to deal with bullys and scary teachers and that sort of thing. Who can’t relate with that? The author just made it a little more creative.

We have the first four. I won’t buy book five until I can get it in paperback which means next year. But I figure I may as well keep buying in the set I have. I just have to read books 3 and 4. I’m taking my time getting around to them. May as well since book 5 was taking so long to come to press! 1000 pages, holy cow! No wonder it took so long!

That’s OK. I may not have been clear that while I have not read all of them I do own all of them.
Yes the new book is long. OK, Amazon has it now at 896 pages. When it was first announced they were saying 1000. But you know, what’s 100 pages between bookworms? HAHA It is due to come out 21 June 2003 in hardcover. Probably be a year before it is in paperback. Check it out at Amazon.com Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix page where it is still being sold at only 18 bucks.
Thanks for offering though, sweetie! *HUGS* I’ll probably read book three this summer. I’m not sure. We’ll have to see what I feel like. I have a reading list a mile and a half long!

~HUGZ BACK~ Anytime!!
Man that’s a lot, but you’re right, what’s a few pages?? LOL
I am going to wait till it comes out to the book stores. I don’t order stuph online.
Right now, I am reading Emily Dickinson’s biography (she’s my favourite poet), Judy Garland’s biography, the first HP book, I started it way back around December sometime when I first got the set, but I set it aside when I got the other books my parents sent me, and the first LOTR book. And there’s still a lot out there I want to read!! LOL

Too many books, not enough time I always say! You should see my book wish list. It stays at around 100 books! EEEK!
I’ve also banned myself from the bookstore because I keep buying books and not reading them! Bad me! Bad me! I just get backlogged!
The Harry Potter book is going to be way more when it hits the shelves. I think it is going to be closer to 30 bucks. But Amazon.com and bn.com both estimated it to cost the same amount as the other HP books so they went ahead and started presales and were wrong. But they have vowed to honour their lower price. Pretty spiffy if you ask me!
I don’t mind a mere 900 page HP book. But I wonder what some of the kids out there are going to think. Hmmm

Yeah, that’s pretty kewl.
As for you banning yourself from the bookstore…how well has that worked?? LOL
As for the other children…They might like it. You’d be amazed how many times a DAY I hear “I can’t wait for the new HP book!!” And they get all excited. It’s rather amusing.

Kids are fun!
Actually I haven’t been in a book store since January! Can you believe it? I promised I would read 10 books I had on hand before going to the bookstore again. I’ve read four. The last few books I’ve read I got from the library. I went with hubby to pick him a book up for NY and got four books for me to read. 🙂 One is a book club book so I had to get it.
Anyway, I still have to read six more books. After I get through this run of library books I’ll try to get through some more of the books I have here. I’ll only go pick up next month’s book club book (Legally Blonde).

Re: I have the whole set…
we move from month to month. I am not hosting again until May I think. Hmmm, I need to get directions so I can go. I am after all reading this weird novel. Very weird book.
I’m proud of myself as well. It is hard for me to not go to a bookstore. Hehe. And six books isn’t really that many. I wanted to buy Legally Blonde though so I’m kind of torn. Do I risk going and getting it and say that is the only book I’m going to allow myself or do I just check it out from the library since I doubt I’ll read six books before I can get to Legally Blonde for next month. EEEK!
I’d be able to do it easily if I didn’t have this 500 page book to get through!

The 500 page book? It is The Blind Assassin by Margaret Atwood. That’s our book for this month. Crazy, eh? I wonder if anyone else is reading it. I didn’t realize it was this big! HEHE I posted about it after I read the first 50 pages. Scroll down on my entries page. hehe I’ll post more about it as I get a little further. I am going to try to read some this afternoon after JAG.
