I don't have that book in my house to know what happened to them, and I can't remember back to the years ago when I read it! :mad:


The other day, the 4yo boy tried to play by himself and deleted all the slots on the game so that they had to start over. It was super drama for the girl, who had unlocked lots of stuff. They beat it again this weekend. (Not including collecting everything, just passing all the levels.)

We're playing years 5-7. We own 1-4 also, but our Wii was dusty and scratched it to beyond playable. A record store in town resurfaces disks; I'm going to take that one in soon. \:D/

Although I have not read the books (and, honestly, probably never will :- ), I have seen all of the movies several times and therefore feel qualified to join this discussion. \:D/

Harry was so gorgeous in Goblet of Fire. :inlove: I was just desperate to run my hands through his hair. And then my heart was broken when his hair was chopped off for the next film. :(

Besides that, I also enjoy all the different glass-shattering scenes. The special effects are quite amazing.

Really? I thought it was the most Harry-ish look in the series besides PoA.

In the books it was described as messy, and I feel as though the long hair could not accurately depict that. I also think the Dursleys would have made him cut it.

Yeah, I get what you're saying, but I still thought it was too long...Ron's too.
I think he just looks better with slightly shorter hair. I don't mind messy....just not nearly down to his shoulders. *shrug*

Yeah; that's why it's my second-favorite. ;) PoA was definitely the most classic "Harry" look IMO. Ron's was obnoxious, though; I liked it much better in the last four films.

I love Harry's long hair because that is my preferred style for male hair (besides spiky hair). I love Bieber-length hair (for lack of a better way to describe it). :- However, I readily agree that Ron's hair was definitely too long, and I'm glad his was shortened.

Gah, the Weasley twins in Goblet of Fire.. *shudder* there is definitely a limit on how long you can decently go.

In other news, I'm book four now! \:D/ Clearly my homework is no longer top priority, thanks to this thread. I'd actually forgotten how much I enjoy the innocence and magical charm ( lol, charm ;) ) of the first three books. Back when winning the House Cup was of utmost importance, and Scabbers was there as Ron's sidekick.

I just started the fifth one, but I am going to Florida, so I won't have much time to read it.

Depending on where you live, you'll have plenty of reading time if you're about to travel to Florida. ;)

Haha, that's awesome. \:D/ If you live really far away from Florida, you should have plenty of time to read Order of the Phoenix, doorstopper or not. ;)

Well, we are going on a plane, and I don't want to lose the library book and pay 15.00 for it...

If you're a true fan, you'll pay that much! :x

;) I get what you mean, though. I wouldn't want to lose a library book, either, although I guess I'd consider it worth the risk because when I get into a series, I don't want to stop until I've read everything in it and all of its supplementary material.

I actually will buy the books eventually, but I don't have very much money, and the money I have I am going to spend for something cool in Florida.

Yeah me to but- I don't have 15 bucks :(

I finished Harry Potter and Goblet of Fire late last night/early this morning, and although
I knew Cedric was going to die and Character deaths don't really bother me his death was sort of sad. (It was also very abrupt).
