Now that I've finished the new Harry Potter,

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

I've started rereading them from the beginning. It's even better the THIRD time through!

[flamingyouth]

1. I am doing that too.

I just finished #3 yesterday. I love those books. :)

[yellowdogintexas]

2. Depose, when you get through with Hogwarts, start the

George R R Martin series!
You ought to finish it up about the time volume 4 comes out!

A Game of Thrones
A Clash of Kings
A Storm of Swords

read in order if you know what's good for you.

Or you can read Robin Hobb's triple trilogy:

Farseer trilogy
Liveship Traders
Tawny Man Series.

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

3. I shall look for those!

5. Philip Pullman's

His Dark Materials.

Lyra and Will would beat up Ron and Hermione and take their lunch money.

[davidinalameda]

14. I didn't care for Dark Materials

and I think Hermione could kick some serious ass

Ron, not so much

[XemaSab]

15. Poor Ron

:(

He can't help being a dork.

[davidinalameda]

16. but he's a clasic best friend and side kick

Harry's the wind beneath his wings

[XemaSab]

17. That's the most tragic part....

I can just see JK wrapping up the first Harry Potter and going "Wait, Harry needs a best friend and side kick... who can I edit in?"

[davidinalameda]

19. but Ron did help in the Wizard's Chess game in book 1

he won the game that let Harry pass through the room

[LeftyMom]

7. the best part is

You'd be done just in time for the release of A Feast for Crows! :woohoo: :party:

[yellowdogintexas]

10. my evil plan exactly ..you figured it out. I am starting my own

re read as soon as I read Harry Potter IV; I was too involved in the Robin Hobbs to start Harry until I finished that series.

Have you read Robin Hobb, LeftyMOm? Martin recommends her books, that is how I learned about them

[LeftyMom]

13. No, but I'm going to the library tomorrow

and I needed book reccomendations. If GRRM and DUers like her, she's on the list. :)

[XemaSab]

4. The third reread in as many months for me

And it may sound blasphemous, but I'm starting to get a little burned out on old Harry & co.

[crispini]

6. Don't read 'em again for a couple of years.

And then you'll be all fresh for the LAST one. :cry:

[XemaSab]

8. Probably sage advice

But whatever will I do with myself until then?

My life will be a void without Harry Potter...

[AlCzervik]

9. My daughter is finally old enough to read and understand them so she

started the 4 book set i got for her 3 years at Costco, she's in the middle of third one after only a week! She's hooked and i love to see her reading.

[PittPoliSci]

11. my mother...

she was so damn miserable after reading that last harry potter and took it out on me.

was it that bad?

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

12. There is a death of an important, beloved character

[XemaSab]

18. At the hands of an even more

beloved character... sigh...
