155199 2003-06-26 09:08:00 Harry Potter is nothing but satanic crap. Rowling is a witch herself.

marylin manson, on of the high priests of satanism quoted harry potter to be "a godsend to our cause".

So there you have it. Theres a little more than meets the eye when it comes to harry potter.

155200 2003-06-26 09:23:00 Yup.

She said there was snogging in the fifth book.

I really wonder if the final book will be classified as adult fiction, what with her saying "Harry conducts normal teenage behaviour".

155201 2003-06-26 09:29:00 Have read the first three books and have been putting off reading the fourth for well over a year because I know that once I start I won't be able to put it down. Never seem to have enough time for everything. *Pushes Goblet of Fire back under a pile of PC Worlds*.

I reckon just as many adults have read the books as children and it is no wonder, she is a very clever writer. And after reading them you just have to see the movies.

155203 2003-06-26 09:35:00 Yes, but what I heard, is that 10000 books due for Australia and New Zealand were missing two chapters. agent (30)

Oh come on. It's a childrens book - Fictional - not real...
Hence why there is a fiction section in most public libraries - for books which have no influence on reality whatsoever. The only time problems arise is when people get so "enthusiastic" about fictional books that they believe things like that are true.

Furthermore, like I've said, the problem with Harry Potter is it has no bearing on real life whatsoever, which is a big disappointment for some kids. They get to college, expect great things, and get "killed" by the sheer load of work involved.

Realistically, I have no life (agent will back me up no doubt). I have 1-2 hrs homework per night, then on top of that are extra-curricular activities, which eat up a good hr per night, and it's therefore no wonder I end up conversing to people half way around the world at stupid times through the night - I'm too tired to be trapising around with my friends trying to save the world from evils...
By the time the weekend comes, I'm up to my neck in homework, unable to go to a movie with my friends for fear of failing an upcoming exam and just generally wasted...
Holidays aren't much better - teachers seem to love nothing more than seeing the sparks in our eyes quickly extinguish when they tell us we have projects to do through the holidays making up a substancial part of our grades.

However, just because a book like Harry Potter has no bearing on reality means nothing. It's very egalitarianistic and is quite a simple read, which is why I usually read fictional books before I sign out for the night - I find that they relax my mind and just slow me down....
