And the dressing up as a wizard thing is no worse than Dr Who fans who dress up like the Dr, monsters, companions etc. Not that I've ever done that. I too would feel very tempted to just turn to the last pages but - obviously!! - it would spoil the whole thing a great deal...I remember one of my English teachers telling me you should never do that! Very good advice, Mr Samuel!<BR/><BR/>Well, if you get to the end before Salty Sailor, by all means drop me an email!<BR/><BR/>Ta<BR/>OC xOld Cheeserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17871751335676050949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8262218.post-25323488381271714742007-07-23T15:11:00.000+01:002007-07-23T15:11:00.000+01:00For some unknown reason I found myself in the LOOO...For some unknown reason I found myself in the LOOOOONG queue in my local Asda at midnight on Friday/Saturday, with the rest of the geeks and the cheapos [well it was only a fiver after all].<BR/><BR/>I saw one person in a wizard outfit and felt sorry for them. They had a look on their face that said "oh this seemed like such a good idea at the time but now I feel like a plonk."<BR/><BR/>I've never read the books but was also weirdly curious about which of the characters would snuff it. [I'm inexplicably in love with Hermione Granger and had a premonition that she'd be a gonner.]<BR/><BR/>I traded theories with the woman in front of me and told her I was going to read the last page first to find out who lived and who died. She could barely disguise her complete and utter contempt for me.<BR/><BR/>I'm not a fast reader so I'm only on Chapter 6, but the last page wasn't as enlightening as I'd hoped.

Quite honestly I don't give a sh*t about the plotline, I just wanna know who dies! How shallow am I?<BR/><BR/>Steve - Maybe one day I will watch the movies! Oh I don't know, perhaps I'll borrow some of the novels from the library or a mate one day and give 'em a go.

I'm an HP fan and only got the book from Tesco earlier today, so I was concerned you might have **spoilers**<BR/><BR/>I'll let you know what happens later.Alan Fisherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08886751991085726296noreply@blogger.com
