- Who'll be busy as from Saturday?

Who of you all will be reading "The Order of the Phoenix" as from Saturday?

Do you think it will live up to our three year built-up anticipation?

I will be reading it as soon as it will arrive. Living in Italy and having ordered it on Amazon.co.uk, I have to wait a week. I hope not more than a week.

I hope, but I am not afraid. I know I'll love it. :)

Not me, I was bored half way through the second one.

Yay - got OotP for my birthday but have only had time to read the first nine chapters. So far, I love it.

Yes, I finished it - it was great. A sad demise in it, 'though. Looking forward to book no. 6.

Been playing with the other present my son bought me - a flying swatting gun, which really works. I've actually killed two wasps in flight. (I was going to say mid-flight, but it was the end of their flights).

School holidays now, so I'll only be around intermittently for a few weeks. Have a good summer.

Hopefully, that will only take two years to arrive.

Eeshk. I just let wasps be, and they let me be.

You too, Susie. :)

Hopefully.

The book is three times as long as "Chamber of Secrets", so I don't see why OotP couldn't have been published in 3 volumes, like LotR.

They might have to do that when it comes to the film version. Books 1 & 2, being a lot shorter, were pretty much onscreen in their entirety, not a great deal was left out. However, from Book 3 onwards they get longer, so they're going to have to do some serious pruning to get it down to a two some hours movie. A lot of the storylines and scenes are going to have to be cut out, which will be a shame.

That's right, they're talking about making Book 4 into two films, rather like the Matrix was this year, but Book 3 is going to get stripped.

Because it's not anything like LOTR, it's a kids' book, and the LOTR books were classics. People comparing Rowling to Tolkein don't really know what they're saying. (Nb. I may just be saying this because I can't stand JK Rowling - though the books are OK)
