Secret copy of fifth Harry Potter book found in field

You know, there are just so many places we could take this story...

Nice weather we're having isn't it?

No publicity stunt is needed. the book has been number one at Amazon for two months already. The author has 450 million dollars squirreled away, according to Entertainment Weekly, and her only problem is finding a motive to finish the series.

LOL.

"Harry Potter" book found in field...

Fertilizing the crops, no doubt, like so much of the "secret dirt literature" genre.

Secret Dirt Literature = S.D.L.

Amazing. Signs everywhere.

Where is that stone and hat when you need it?

[Wrigley]

Hmmm, you may be on to something.

[Sir Gawain]

Yawn.

The acting by the children is very impressive and brings the characters to life.

Caught the movie on cable and had to admit I was suitably impressed, except for "Harry"---kid couldn't act.

[retrokitten]

Harry is okay, but the boy who plays Ron is my favorite. He is so adorable.

I have mine reserved at amazon.com, too. I am far too old to be as excited as I am about OotP.

Who does everyone think will play Voldermort in the GoF movie? I thought that the bad English soldier who killed Mel Gibsons kids in "The Patriot" would be perfect until I realized that was Lucious Malfoy!

but the boy who plays Ron is my favorite. He is so adorable.

I agree; of course, I've always been partial to redheads. :-)

[Corin Stormhands]

The guy who played Tom Riddle (Christian Coulson) is probably too young. Don't you think?

[retrokitten]

He's too young now, but at the rate they are going he'll probably be in his early 30's by the time Goblet of Fire is made. LOL!

I heard a rumor that for Rita Skeeter they are thinking of casting the redhead from The Weakest Link, Anne something? I am horrible with names.

The second movie FAR surpassed the first one. I thought Harry was way too timid in the Sorceror's Stone, but he really grew into the role for the second movie. The SS didn't make me feel anything, but C of S was SO good.

[capitan_refugio]

Hmmmmm.

Are those the one that have the earwax and vomit flavors? Yum.

[capitan_refugio]

Union labor action, no doubt.

Number Three is being directed by a great director. His most recent movie was "R" rated, leaning towrds "X", but he also did "A Little Princess".

The books, of course, still rule.

As for who will play Voldemort, it will probably be the same person who played him at the end of movie one.

So that's who plays Lucious Malfo. It's been bugging me to no end. I knew I recognized him! lol

My OotP is on pre-order and Walden's. An extra 30% the price of the book. :-)

From the International Oompa Loompa Network site:

"As hard as it is to fathom, life back in Oompa Loompa land was worse than the life that Wonka was forcing the Oompa Loompas to live, so they had no other choice than to remain under the control of the demented Wonka."

I knew it! It was a labor/labour action!! That bastard Wonka.

[retrokitten]

I know I was suprised, too! I was watching The Patriot and thought he would make the perfect Voldermort. Dark hair, green eyes, good looking, but kind of swarthy- just what I picture Voldermort to be. I went to look up his name on Internet Movie Database and that's when I saw he was Lucious! LOL! I guess that's not why I'm not casting the movies!

[JesseShurun]

the movie came on cable so I thought what the heck, I'll see what it's about, fell asleep, scared the cat snoring, most boring movie ever

[Politicalmom]

Have you heard the recorded books? Jim Dale, the guy who reads them, is awesome. This is the first time I have preferred to listen to a recorded book, rather than read it myself.
