WS I am like you, obsessed with the Marauder era and think that JK should do a whole series on them…maybe the grandkids could stumble upon some archived memories

EDIT: Spolier function wasn't working!

Have no idea at all what the fascination is about all this stuff :?
Cannot sit through more than 10 mins of this type of thing.

One of my work mates niece was in the last movie and even that didn't move me enough to go watch it.

We're mostly discussing the books and not the films as they are so ...

We've missed you Phantom!

I like Bella in the films too but my brothers and sisters disagree, my sister constantly says "shes just not pretty enough". I disagree, think she plays Bella really well.

Oh I like Charlie in the films!! He is one of the few that have been cast well..the Cullens??? Lets ...

Again, I struggle with the casting in the films so lets not got there, I mean Gary Oldman has the handsome Sirius :?: :?: :?: :?:

In the books, Sirius is one of my favourite characters, I just love his devotion to Harry and his reckless nature, reminds me of someone I think :oops: :oops:

I love ...

I shall!!

Righto then, where shall we start???

I think it should be with 'how did you get into HP and what was the first one you read'?

I had to read Prisoner of Azkaban for an elective at university called 'Children's Language and Literature' and was hooked!!!

Went out and bought the enter ...

P.P.S Yeah lets start a Harry Potter thread!

P.S. Love how its just spoiler after spoiler now on here!

- Getting myself a new iPod/iPhone/mobile AND lap top for the big move so have limited stuff to listen to :cry:

- I do like the background score and theme that plays throughout though

- HP films, they are BAD :x but still, like you, getting excited about HBP, need to book tickets too but quite a ...

Yeah hes not exactly beautiful, old RP is he?! My 14 year old brat sister would disagree though, first crush and all that :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:

I don’t think he did that bad in the film though, which bloke would EVER live up to Edward?? Big ask!

I thought Charlie was cast really well ...

Ah you're just addicted to eh spoilers now you know how to do it! ;)

So, thus I pose a new question! Who is your fave Cullen (with the exception of Edward) and why?

:)

Answer to your question is below!

I don't know if I have one, I mean, I love the way Alice is totally devoted to Bella ...

Ha ha I wish, went out from work and left it there by mistake!

Left the first one at work! Was so looking forward to reading it too, will have to wait

Finally managed to track down all three so am really looking forward to spending my weekend curled up with these!

I'm not sure whether I sleep talk as such but I do have really vivid dreams where I can remember the smallest details, gestures and what people say, wear, do and where we are for years after! This mornings dream for instance (I always wake at 3ish and then go back to sleep, its very annoying) I ...

His work is amazing, takes you beyond the usual realms if imagination. I’ve read ‘A Suitable Boy’ many many times even though it’s a huge book to get through but you really feel as though you are in India, living through the events as the characters are doing.

Wasn’t as keen on ‘An ...

...'A Suitable Boy',

I couldn't get the whole thing in the subject box, sorry!
