Harry Potter And The Half Blood Prince
- Thread starter Nikhil
- Start date
There are many people who think that Harry Potter is for kids. It is not so. The first 2 books in the series were certainly kiddish but the next 3 books were much more mature. People think that is is meant for kids just because it has magic in it. They make it sound like a fairy tale.
But in the HP world, not everything is nice and goody goody. Not every book in the series ends like "They lived happily ever after".
And if you do not like it, please do not read it nor even read this thread. no one is forcing you to. Don't insult the others who do read it and LOVE it.

And whether you like it or not, TE is run by these people called moderators!! They have the capacity to ban you. So, go ahead, start a flame war. Next time, you may get banned..... You may have the right to expression but they have the right to ban you.
Where are u guys buying the book from? Has anyone pre-ordered it online? I absolutely MUST have it on the 16th. But 899 seems too much.
BTW ebay has books 1-5 for Rs750/- Seems like a cool offer.

Dude.... that is bidding. The real final sale price will be much higher. And they have not given if it is Hardback or paperback.
Harry Potter? :baby: . I suggest you go read a book called The Lord of the Rings.
Harry Potter is just child's-play when compared to LOTR!

@Radon ---- It maybe. I agree with you. LOTR is more mature and more for adults than kids. But HP has it's own charm.
As I keep saying, the first 2 books were very kiddish. But the next 3 books were more mature and serious.
And another difference ---- The HP books are faaaaar more funny than LOTR. LOTR is very dark and depressing. In contrast the HP series are somehwat sunny and cheerful. But the last 3 books were dark and depressing to some extent. But the humour inthe HP series is AWESOME!!!

7th book ---- no idea....
Try reading them.... they are aweosome. Put aside any previous thouhts abt HP and just pick up the first 3 books and read them. After the first 3, you will find it hard to forget abt the 4th book. You will want to read it very badly...

I read the HP 1,2 and 3 and boy, it was good. JKR had a real ability to keep her audiences interested all the way. But I must say the books GoF and OotP were too boring. Yes the story and plots was certainly interestin but she had unnecessarily begun draaaggggin the whole story. OotP was unbearable. Hope she wont make a drag out of HBP
Found it here for Rs 674.25. But not sure if they'll deliver on the 16th itself.

Indiatimes is giving a nice reebok bag free with the book @899. Maybe i'll just go for that. Need a new bag anyways.
