The world has gone bonkers over Hari Putter these past few weeks. Mothers are worrying over the recurrence of Hogwarts Headache. (though it was mainly due to the atrocity that was the fifth book, the Order of the Phoenix thingy and also due to Ms. Rowling going way overboard with a 970 page length. I mean kids do not read that much in one year, let alone in a day or two.) Not helping matters was the release of the fifth HP film on the above mentioned marathon crap. HP does not translate well on screen unlike LOTR. But they say it is the best of the lot. The worst book led to the best movie and vice versa (i.e. with Goblets of fire which was the best book IMHO).... interesting!!
Websites have sprouted revealing the end and particulerly the names of them who are gonna be wasted, the collateral damage, the less fortunate ones who are not mentioned in the past tense and/or have kids named after them in the final chapter. I had the misfortune of reading the spoilers on Rediff one one of their messageboards. But then ther are different spoiler versions mainly due to bogus HP7 books which have infiltrated the market. The result being that everyone has now been murdered as per one version or the other. Which means that now the fun will be in seeing which version is the correct one.
In all this madness, it should not be forgotten that the series is worth reading (well, apart from Order of the Phoenix though on introspection it is not that bad....). And I have bought the book though have not yet started reading it seriously (have gone through the last pages...JK shows that she is smart by spacing out the end this time so one does not get to know the entire ending). Hope it is as good as people are saying. Though they had said the same thing about the Order..... |
Phew! I am done! Finally! 'IMHO' this book was better than HBP , and definitely nothing can be as bad as The Order ever! So you can go ahead and read :). You might find some stuff filmy, but then you need to accept that I guess.
PS: Btw, want spoilers?
400 pages down.... and yeah it is really good considering it is a sixth sequel. And for a change no school business!! No need for spoilers though considering the setup till now, have shortlisted the names of the probable dead.
