livvy Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 It started out pretty well, but then it just got... *groan* Basically when you picked it up you knew there would be some confrontation between Harry and Voldemort, Ron and Hermione were going to be arguing at some point, someone would die who really shouldn't have, Harry would do something totally idiotic and get away with it, and his scar would hurt. It got pretty dull after the third book or so. Quote
Unstream Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 I thought it was good until the 5th book. After that, it just got really dry. And the ending sucks. I mean Voldemort goes "KILLING SPELL" and Harry goes "REFLECT" and Voldemort goes *dies* and ugh, it was just really lame. Quote
livvy Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 Haha, Voldemort goes *dies* . Nice wording there. =P What I hated was the very ending. Did she really have to tell us that Ron & Hermione and Harry & Ginny (respectively) got married and had kids? And what was up with naming the kid Albus Severus? Sooooooo trite. I would rather she had just let us use our imaginations for that, rather than killing the characters' futures. Ugh... Quote
Unstream Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 Thanks :P And yeah I agree. And Albus Severus is a poor name in opinion. And I think I'd have liked it Harry and Hermione, not Harry and Hermione. Quote
amitybelle Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 I AGREE. ALL THOSE BOOKS AND JUST... how do you do a spoiler? Whatever, I agree :P. Oh I found how. Yes... he just dies like that? Why didn't anyone do that in book one then :P. Heh, I do love them though. Quote
livvy Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 Going on the assumption that you meant "Harry and Hermione, not RON and Hermione" (or not Harry and Ginny), I agree. It would have left Ron unmarried since he can't exactly marry his own sister, but still. I think Harry and Hermione would be a better couple. For spoilers, you go the the side bar thingy and click Insert: SPOLIER. Or just type whatever you want to type and put around it. Quote
Ruto Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 Since we're on the discussion of books, I'd like to ask if anyone here has read the Wheel of Time series? I peeked at the first book yesterday, and it looks pretty dang awesome, but I'd like to know if anyone else thinks this before I start on an eleven-book series. xD Quote
Unstream Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 Haha yeah Livvy, it was a typo on my part. Morgan, I've actually never heard of that series, and unfortunately, I'm one to judge a book by it's cover lol. It doesn't seem too appealing to me, but that's just the cover. I don't even know what it's about xD Quote
Ruto Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 One of my friends said the same thing, but she loves it. She's already into the fourth book and she started about two months ago. xD Of course, she loves any book she picks up, so I'd like a second opinion if available. xP Quote
*Danielle* Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 I've never heard of it either...im pretty slow in getting new books...i didnt read Twilight til a couple weeks before the movie came out....should i be ashamed of that? lol I wish I had gray eyes though. I think they'd look cool I'd like to have violet eyes....although i think mine are pretty cool because depending on what light im in they look blue, green, or hazel Quote
antiaircraft Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 Wheel of Time, Wheel of Time... *digs through extensive mental book list* I think my brother has read one of those books, and he seemed to quite like it. :yes: I don't have any personal opinion though (at least, none that I can remember :P ). MoTA was down just a couple days ago. Something about an update. I was updating the software that ran the MoTA forum. It, uh... *cough* took a tad longer than expected. :shiftyeyes_anim: Anyway, it's all done now, so visit visit visit! xD Quote
Captain Awesome Pants Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 My eyes are green. Occasionally they become more of a yellowish-brown, almost the color Edward and the Cullen family has. Although, sometimes people think my eyes are blue, in certain light. Quote
livvy Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 My eyes are decidedly blue, though my friend insists they're a gray-green if you look from the side. I think she's colorblind. =P But I like my eyes. :yes: Quote
antiaircraft Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 I have brown eyes. They look black if there's not much light in the area, but yeah, they're actually brown. :yes: Quote
Lia Seeya Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 Like Random Invisible Guy, I too have brown eyes that look black if there's not much light in the area. XD Quote
amitybelle Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 I have brown eyes! I wish I had gray eyes though. I think they'd look cool. So... Grey or Gray? I don't know! I spell it whichever way comes out first... I'm not actually sure which one is correct for here :P. But I do spell colour and favourite with a u. I get mad when people tell me it's wrong >.<. Quote
livvy Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 I love the "British" spelling of those words! It looks so much more... sophisticated. I use those spellings sometimes. It's kinda funny because I'll be writing about my favorite colour, and how my favourite color is blue. I switch between them randomly. :P Quote
Ruto Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 xD I think I've only used the British spelling for 'fairy', and that's on accident. Can you guess why? xP My eyes are dark brown. Like poop. Quote
livvy Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 My eyes are dark brown. Like poop. HA! That brings back memories... When I was 3, I said something like, "My poopoo is brown, like Mrs. Sharisa." Thankfully Mrs. Sharisa wasn't around at the time. XP Quote
ho_yt Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 My eyes are black just like a normal asian... Quote
Captain Awesome Pants Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 I tend to use british spellings of things too. However, the whole 'u' thing gets to my brain sometimes and starts implimenting itself into other words. Such as above. I instinctively spell it 'abouve' but I know that's NOT how it is spelled. Quote
Ruto Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 I usually add an extra letter in 'soul', making it 'sould', and I know that's not right. xD Quote
Unstream Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 Yeah I normally have to end up editing all of my posts after I type it (like not using the edit function, as in rereading everything and fixing all of my errors). Sometimes, when I anticipate a word, I'll type the first letter on the word before it. Somethingl ike this. Quote
Captain Awesome Pants Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 Sometimes my fingers work faster than my brain. XD Like with my screenname. I've typed it so many times that it's become automatic. Occasionally, my fingers just start typing it and have like 'starspangle' typed, and my brain will still only be on 'star' So then I have to stop and think, okay where was I? XD Quote
Strategos Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 Sorry, can't help you there Laura. By the way, can anyone catch me up on what's happened these past 2 weeks? It sucks having to move, then have the old modem not work. I had to order a new one, then it got lost by UPS, so I just got my brand new one today. About 3 weeks after I ordered it. Anyways, that's my problem. So what's going on? Quote
