Yes, I started the Half-Blood Prince today and I’m about 200 pages into it. Some interesting things going on, but I want to wait until the end to pass any judgment!

And I wholeheartedly agree with the both of you – the movies are horrible. I just watched the Goblet of Fire on DVD and it was a disgrace to the book. I’m going to be blogging about that soon (maybe tonight). I couldn’t believe that they allowed that movie to even be released after so much of the story was left out!

But here’s hoping that the next movie keeps more of the good stuff in, right?

(Regardless to this my mum also likes it). I think the Harry / Cho was to make harry seem mor human. I mean what 15 year old boy hasn’t got it on with the opposite sex before then? whats more i dont really like the HP movies and i know for a fact that JK writes the books first and what ever happens to them later is not quite as important to her. Just look up her site. Anyway, im glad to see you read them before placing your opinion. Sooo many people place blogs against HP and haven’t even read the books!!

I will admit I have read the books through 2 times.
I assume you will be reading Half Blood Prince soon, the Prophecy will make more sense. JKR likes to leave you hanging and thinking, what is next? Why doesnt this make sense. Trust me after HBP I have even more questions…!
I see Order as like you said an advance in Storyline. I feel though that the movies have NOT portrayed the books correctly at all, so the movie will probably not make enough sense to the movie watchers to help them out. I keep telling people read read read, and then take the movies with a grain of salt. They leave soooo much out of the real storylines.
I hope they at least bring up the prophecy in the next movie.
I enjoyed the “action” in this book it was good to see the kids come together and work towards a goal, no one is giving them enough credit.
I could go on and on…
Thanks,
Lisa
