Hi everyone!
I am new to this forum as of a couple days ago anyway. I read the Sorcerer's Stone a few years after it came out and then later was given the audio CD set by a friend of mine who runs a book store.
I have to say that I really enjoyed Jim Dale's voices. So despite the fact that I don't typically like audio books, I ended up buying the unabridged audio CD sets and listening to the rest of them rather than reading them. If you have never heard any of them, I highly recommend them.
My favorite book is the Deathly Hallows, followed by the Sorcerer's Stone, the Prizoner of Azkaban, then the Half Blood Prince.
Welcome, Chipped! I agree--the audio versions of the books are a special treat. I listened all the way through GOBLET OF FIRE with a co-listener way back when and enjoyed it! Jim Dale's "voices" added to the experience.

Hello, welcome. Pardon, but what did you mean by virtual world?

Welcome, Little Diva! I don't know if there is a HP virtual world game out there. Does anyone else?

Welcome, mollymoo! I looked at your profile and I see that you like Bunnicula. You aren't far enough along in the series yet to know what a Patronus is, but before book 7 came out, a number of folks here thought that Snape's Patronus was Bunnicula. It gave us all a big chuckle!

Hi,
I am a huge Harry Potter fan. I have read all of the books, like 10+ times! I have seen all of the movies. Though, the last one was a bit of a disappointment, the first movie was the best in my opinion. There isn't a better series out there to read, for me at least. But if any of you think so, than tell me! I am so glad that there is a book club here just for Harry Potter! I see why it is the most popular.
<3

Hi, mollymoo! Yes; we can see you; welcome! You might want to avoid reading too much here on the boards until you're further along in the series--spoilers about the plot abound here!

Welcome, Bookfanatic7373! Lots of people in this club feel the same way--though many were older than kindergarten age when they read it! Jump in with us any time.

Hi! My name is Tina. I'm a writer (unpublished so far). I'm Irish and I love books.
Harry Potter! I have read all of the books and seen all of the films several times. I love the premise of the stories and the way things tie together. Dumbledore says something along the lines of it's a matter of choosing between what is easy and what is right. Someone will know the exact quote I'm sure, but that's what I think we're here for, to make the choice between what is easy and what is right.
The only thing I didn't like in the entire series was the last piece in The Deathly Hallows. I don't want to know that all is well! I want details of what Harry is doing now! Neville is the only one that we know about and that's just his job. I want him to have married Luna. I don't usually need a full wrap up of what happened to everyone, but in this case, I really wanted to know about the gang and what they've been doing since the end of their battle with Voldemort.
But that's my only tiny gripe. I've read each new book on the day it came out since I discovered them and I am sad that there aren't any more. I queued up at midnight on the release day to get the books. But I still have the last film/two films to look forward to.
I've started a blog recently at http://thecleanwhitepage.blogspot.com/ if anyone would like to see me rambling on about writing and other stuff.
Tina

Welcome Tina! You will find out more of what happened to various people if you go to the search box and type in HP_New_Information. I think I've tagged most of the stuff that we learned from JKR after the last book came out with that tag. Those posts will also have links to where you can find other information.
Enjoy!

Welcome to all the newbies! By the way Jules, I gave Connie the Laurel on your behalf. We have been very fortunate to have Connie with us for such a long time, and she has indeed taken very good care of us.
Every time I think we may have said everything there is to say about HP, someone new joins us with a question, or a new perspective; and from time to time the ex-pats pop back in to enrich the conversation.
