is this a lonley thread?

Maybe.  I stood in line at midnight last night to buy two copies of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows and I am already more than halfway though one of them.  My husband went to bed before midnight last night like a sane person, and he is still only a little way through his copy.


my wifes friend pre-ordered her copies and was one of the first in line last night.  when she got her copy, she quickly read the last two chapters and then she drove around to the local bookstores and yelled out the ending.
not nice.  but funny.
Misunderstood.

That, too.

My wife works for UPS and they have some kind of deal with the publisher to help them get the books to all the stores at the same time. They take the shipments of books and store them until the release date. I am so tired of hearing about everyone stumbling over three hundred sixty seven cases of Harry Potter books ...
They had the books stored at every delivery center for almost two weeks.

Why?  Because it is a "children's story"?  At first I didn't want to read it for that reason, but then I read Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone and I loved it.  Then I had to buy all the books that were already out so I could read them too and either my husband or I wait in a line at midnight to buy the latest book that has just come out.  I got smarter when I waited.  I went to an all-night grocery store instead of the insane madhouse of a bookstore's midnight party and I bought two copies, so we didn't have to share.

various reasons:

1.  i read the first book, and thought it was a rewrite of all the boarding school stories i'd read as a kid myself, just with the "magic" twist.
2.  i got about three chapters into book 2, and lost the will to live - formulaic writing bores me to tears, unless it's particularly well done, and rowling doesn't.
3.  the hype is enough to make me never read another one.  i hate being told what to do, think or enjoy, and so rarely follow the crowd.
4.  everyone witters on about it being popular because of the need for something supramundane (i.e., the magical content), but actually, there's no real magic as such, only technology.
5.  potter himself is an annoying, pi little git, who needs a fucking good slap, and a tin of baked beans rubbed in his face.
6.  partly, it's a kids' book, and i do find that a lot of them lack the depth and complexity i often require in a good read, but then pullman and lewis achieve both - i love both those series.

having said all of which, i know kids who were functionally illiterate for years, who suddenly learned to read so they could read the hp books, so i rate them for that reason.  and so many people think they're great, so they must have something going for them.  i'm just not motivated to put in the effort to find out.
