Thank you,

I just thought that the government or somebody was trying to make us not read it for some stupid reason.


 

Ok libraries are local affairs. Some are state standards, some are county standards, some are just a cities standard. Nothing is ever banned everywhere by the federal government. It's against the constitution in fact. If it's published in the USA the library of congress has a copy, period.

Hi.  I am new to this, but I am a HUGE HP fan and have read all the books multiple times, have all the movies and can't wait until the last movie(s) come out.

I haven't read the books since the begining, but since 2005. Either way, I'm a Harry Potter fanatic! My life's dream is to get all of my Harry Potter books signed by J. K. Rowling.

Welcome tob2007!

 

I don't think there is any information out there about the book she said she expected to publish "in the not-so-distant future", that having been said in April, 2010.  But maybe she'll say something more about it when she does her Oprah interview.

Re: Welcome! Introduce Yourself Here!

Hello, my name is Mike and I love to read.  I read the first 5 books back in January 2006.  I knew about the books but I never liked to read before then.  I made it my new years resolution to start reading more and so I bought the set of books 1-5.  Then the 6th book came out in the middle of that year then the 7th book the next year.  I have seen all the movies but I have to say that I loved the books better.

 

It takes me longer to read than most people because I have dyslexia, ADD and a learning disorder but I don't let that stop me because I love to read.  I bought a Nook last month and since then I've read 5 books.  I'm on my 6th one now.

 

Anyway, thought I'd say hi.  :manhappy:

Re: Welcome! Introduce Yourself Here!

Hi!

 

My name is Marissa and I've been reading the books since 2002 or so.  I'm hoping to get my 8 year old stepson reading them soon as well. I've seen all the movies and own them all so far as well.

 

I used to belong to a Harry Potter community on ezboard and that was a lot of fun! I hope to meet lots of great people here!

 

Thanks for having me!
