This was definitely the darkest book so far in the Harry Potter Series. Thankfully Rowling said the next one would be a bit shorter - good thing for the blind community; the braille version was about as thick as 5 regular books.

While on a journey, Chuang Tzu found an old skull, dry and parched.
With sorrow, he questioned and lamented the end of all things.
When he finished speaking, he dragged the skull over and, using it for a pillow, lay down to sleep.
In the night, the skull came to his dreams and said, 'You are a fool to rejoice in the entanglements of life.'
Chuang Tzu couldn`t believe this and asked, 'If I could return you to your life, you would want that, wouldn`t you?'
Stunned by Chuang Tzu`s foolishness, the skull replied, 'How do you know that it is bad to be dead?'

What an amazingly accurate prediction!  And you only made it MORE THAN A YEAR after the book came out!!

Wow.  Yer some kinda' prophet, ain'tcha?

I was wondering if you guys can answer me. the actor who plays harry potter, daniel radcliffe thinks that harry potter is going to die in the 7th film merely because if he die, voldermort will die and since he cares about the world more than himself, HE IS WILING TO SACRIFICE HIS OWN LIFE. AND i'm pretty sure he talked to the author before he come up with an idea like that. so, I'm pretty confused. email me. andypotter_11@hotmail.com      BoyScoutKevin wrote:

Well, at the rate they are going, Harry Potter could die of old age by the 7th one

I hope they end the movies, they're getting too old. honestly the latest one just didn't do it for me even tho i thought i'd like it because it was darker. Unfortunately those kid actors won't go anywhere, except maybe a low budget porno like "Harry Potter's Magic Wand

I hope the books go on, i'm not a reader but it's good that something like this has gotten kids into reading again, and reading stuff that is really imaginative and fantasy.

J.K. Rowling announced yesterday (6-29-04) the new title of the next volume.

It will be titled "Harry Potter & the Half Blood Prince".

I look foward to reading it!

Actually, what I've read of the books (a few sample chapters)...I was not impressed by the level of writing.

I have my kids into Narnia and The Hobbit; still fantasy literature 'for kids', but with, to me, higher literary vaue

Don't be silly! They'd get sued with a title like that. They'd probably name it Harry Putter and the Sorcerer's Bone. And of course it would have to have sequels, like Harry Putter and the Chambermaid's Secrets, Harry Putter and the Prisoner of Azkabondage...

Have none of you guys read the Harry Potter books?  Or are we strictly going for the films here?  The books are far superiour to the movies, they are darker especially the fifth one.  The films are dulled down for the PG market (or what every kids rating you have in the US).  Sorry just had a thought there why did they change the name of the first film to The Sorcerers Stone instead of the Philosophers Stone? Sorry again my train of thought got de-railed, anyway you won't guess who is going to die unless you read the books.

Well, actually, this is an old, old thread that dates back to just before Order of the Phoenix was released, so nobody knew at the time. It is the latest thread to rise from the grave.

I do agree, although I've never read the books myself. Eventually, I intend to get to them but I have a long must-read list. My wife has read all five so far, and has explained to me how the last movie, especially, was a very superficial version of the story. Hearing her explanation, it seems to me that they missed half the story.

I also agree with you on the title change. I remember finding it kind of apalling at the time, hearing that American kids wouldn't understand what a philosopher is. Give me a break.

i think that remus lupin will die sacrificng his life to voldemort for harry. how can you think that dumbledore or even ron will die.peter pettigrew will also die such that all harry's dad's friends will die.
