Harry Potter

I can't believe myself... Im a self-confessed Harry Potter fanatic and I have not read Book 7- Deathly Hallows. I should be ashamed!. Well, reason is that the paper back issue is not yet out in bookstores. I started collecting the book in paperbacks & i dont want to mess up my collection by having the last book in hard cover. But Im planning to buy the whole bunch of 7 hardbound books in a chest when the time comes. Its a great collection since i won't use it. I got the whole paperbacks whenever i want to reread them. I have a copy of an audio book though. But i found it hard to enjoy listening compared to reading it.

Aside from completing HP books, I've also started collecting stuffs worthy to keep. I bought them all in ebay! a replica of Hermione's timeturner by Warner Brothers; HP keychain by Lego; HP Book 1 - 5 original dvds, interactive game, trading cards, 5 bookmarks, HP box with goodies like a notebook, pencil case...a book about JK Rowling, a copy of the Magical World of HP. I'm always on the look out at ebay for new HP thingys that i can add to my collections. If you do know where i can buy HP stuffs, please let me know!

Book 2 Harry Potter & the Chamber of Secrets

Book 3 Harry Potter & the Prisoner of Azkaban

Book 4 Harry Potter & the Goblet of Fire

Book 5 Harry Potter & the Orderof the Phoenix

Book 6 Harry Potter & the Half Blood Prince

Book 7 Harry Potter & the Deathly Hallows


Who says that Harry Potter is just for kids? Well, I am into Harry Potter!!! What really amazes me is the author. How could someone really make magic & wizardry come into life with all the story details... Its not just the story & adventure of Harry Potter & his friends Ron Weasley & Hermione Granger, but the unique names, places, spells, characters, games, mail post, maps & situations that JK Rowling has spun out of the labyrinth of her imaginative mind... it has brought the readers into a different dimension, very farm from reality... makes me wonder what if it is the real thing... what do you reckon?

Unique names JK has made that really caught my attention: Leaky Cauldron, Marauders Map, Quidditch, Alohomora, pensieve, howler, Gringgots, Olivanders, Azkaban, the department names in the Ministry of Magic, subjects taught at Hogworths, Floo Network, The Shrieking Shack, Boggart... whew... and a lot more!!! i say that all that JK has used to describe Harry's world is very unique!!!Really magical!!!

I salute JK!
