Chatterbox: Blab About Books

HArry Potter
I've read all...

I've read all of the Harry Potter books and I love them so much! I have read hundreds of books and over the summer. I read a book every day, but the Harry Potter series by J.K.Rowling is by far my favorite. I love the way the characters develope and change throughout the novels. I also love all of the interesting names and creatures that flow from J.K.Rowling's imagination and into the book. When I read it, sometimes I cried, feeling the characters as if they were a part of me. Also when I read it, I felt as if I was in the story, where everyone was my friend and they all liked me for who I was, which doesn't always happen in real life. I love the books so much, I have memorized whole chapters and I can flip open to any page and go on a two-hour rant about it--(No, seriously, I timed myself and it was two hours and ten minutes!) I love the way everything fits together so smoothly and I love the way J.K. Rowling uses foreshadowing to a great wonder of all of her readers. I love them so much! Please read them if you haven't, and I am sure that you will fall in love with them the way I have! The movies are great represntors of the books as well; there are currently six movies out, and seven books, although they are making the seventh book into two movies becuase it is so long!

Thanks Elizabeth! I actually got first place! But that was just because I was the only person in my category. LOL. I did a paper on the history of the piano. The worst part was being interviewed by a judge. It was SOOOOOOOOOO scary. And for a couple of questions I stalled for what felt like a minute before answering the question. It was awful. And now that I'm moving on to state, I'll have to do another interview!!!!:( Was anybuggy on the Chatterbox in History Day this year????

Well, all I know is that I'm going in August!!!!!

Ok, I have a new question for you guys.....

Should Volsemort be pitied or loathed?

I think he should loathed becuase he had the choice of being good or bad, although I can understand why he would want to be immortal, since he was afriad of death.

What's YOUR answer?

@ Hannah, the opening week thingy w/ all the celebrities and stuff is in June.

@ Caroline, I think think Voldemort should be pityied and lothed. He could not love, he chose not to have friends, he made his own destiny. For not setting up a better future for himself he is to be pittied, plus how he lives his life is just sad.              

He should be lothed because, well umm let me see, HE KILLED LOTS OF INNOCENT PEOPLE FOR FUN and I hate him thoroughly. The all caps is not meant to be an insult or trying to make anyone mad, just trying to make a point.

~Elizabeth H

P.S. He shoulden't fear death: As Dumbledore says (maybe in ps or ss??) "to the well organized mind, death is but the next great adventure." But then again it is in my opinion that Voldemort does not have a half normal mind, much less a well organized one.

Please forgive me if the quote is not exactly right.

Just so you know, my info may be WAY off. When I meant celebrities I meant like the Wizard rock bands and podcasts, and stuff like that. I don't think many of the people from the films will be there, but that is just my guess.......

Hi everybody!

No one's been using this forum for a long time, so I might as well start writing again!

I have another question about Harry Potter that (in my opinion) is pretty hard to answer!

Here goes:

Which character is most surprising?

To me it is the whole Bart Crouch Jr./Mad Eye Moody thing with the polyjuice potion mixed in!
