I think the overall Harry/Voldemort story arc was really well done. This book? Eh. The first half of the book was actually kinda crappy, I thought, because nothing...really...happens. The last 300 pages or so, on the other hand, are some of the best of the series. I also felt there were a lot of little world-continuity errors that could have been remedied by a slower editing process--for example, one needs an Apparition license to apparate, right? Well, Harry never got one...shouldn't the Ministry be able to track that and find him that way? That sort of thing.<BR/><BR/>Goblet of Fire is still my favorite in the series.Kelly Swailshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08712523963592799928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16769486.post-60086982321467771762007-07-25T09:13:00.000-05:002007-07-25T09:13:00.000-05:00Well Jenny and I demolished the book this weekend ...Well Jenny and I demolished the book this weekend and the beginning of this week. I won't give out any spoilers, but will just say that while I liked the general story arc, I actually thought that this was not one of her better books. <BR/><BR/>There were a number of things that I really didn't like all that well, but at the same time, I thought that the overall story was good.Rob S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09167505789890059758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16769486.post-86879159849861212872007-07-24T16:56:00.000-05:002007-07-24T16:56:00.000-05:00When I first finished I cried a little, both becau...When I first finished I cried a little, both because of the content and the fact that the series was over. Now that I've had a few days to live with it, it's cool. Apparently Rowling is thinking of publishing a "Harry Potter Encyclopedia." That would be fun to read--full of character histories and how the world is after the series ends, etc. <BR/><BR/>Sometimes I have to remind myself that I love writing because I love reading good stories. The more you read the better you write, I always say. Though, I definitely don't read as much as I used to--now it's usually in spurts when I don't have arbitrary writing deadlines over my head.Kelly Swailshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08712523963592799928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16769486.post-19421481041565686042007-07-24T02:29:00.000-05:002007-07-24T02:29:00.000-05:00I hope you're not too dehydrated from your Potter ...I hope you're not too dehydrated from your Potter reading marathon. Are you sad it's over? <BR/><BR/>I'm looking forward to reading the spoilers, though my friend Jessica read the last page and told me what was there!!!<BR/><BR/>Yep, Harry joined the Canadian Mounties and was learning to surf off the coast of Nova Scotia . . .<BR/><BR/>Darn wizards!<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I admire your dedication to reading. I need to read more myself. See you soon! I can't wait for Gen Con.<BR/><BR/>Paul Genesse<BR/>www.paulgenesse.com<BR/>www.paulgenesse.blogspot.com<BR/><BR/>Author of The Pirate Witch<BR/>in Pirates of the Blue Kingdoms<BR/>www.popcornpress.comPaul Genessehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17014985880127523334noreply@blogger.com
