  • The New Harry Potter book anticipation thread

    Of course, one simply cannot say that they are a true Harry Potter fan unless they have read the upcoming lines from the new book, and have analyzed the title of the upcoming book in depth.
    This is an amazing series and I am amazingly psyched to hear that the final book will be coming out this Summer.
    What I am particularly excited about is exactly how Rowling's writing will have matured since her fourth venture. I think that the opening lines have been overlooked by most fans in favor of the lines in which Dumbledore says that he is going to tell Harry some information which has been denied him. I think that the word choice and aesthetic sense in these few opening lines reveal that the rest of the book will be more intricate writing.
    I also feel that the end of the fourth book reveals that this next book will deal quite a deal more with the wizarding community that fights Voldemort, and that Harry may very well become involved in that to a certain extent. I sense a sort of pattern in the Harry Potter books, then. The books which are about sort of "object quests", the sorceror's stone, the chamber of secrets, to a lesser extent thegoblet of fire, are relevant to Harry's development, and fun, but I feel that as the series progresses in the titles and in subject matter the goals will be less object oriented and more character oriented. The Prisoner of Azkaban took the series to new heights, and now with the order of the pheonix, something which I am sure will not be an "object", I think we will again see a more mature, character-oriented book.
    Any other thoughts?

    When the books are done, this could be made into a really huge RPG. Really, really big.

    Anyway...

    I am looking forward to this book also. I wonder if after the 7th book is done she will write sequels and prequels, etc?

      No, she doesn't want to be 'typecast'. She'll probably go onto to other types of stories.

        She said that she'll stop writing after the seventh is finished, but I'm willing to bet that that's just the pressure of giving birth and writing a fifth book at the same time.
        Writers never really stop writing. Getting published on the other hand...

          I think you are right about the larger community of sorcerors (pro and anti Voldemort) being an issue much more. The last one definitely set up for that. With the council of people together. There is also a definite power struggle coming up between Dumbledore and the powers at the Bureau. Ron's Dad will get caught up in it. Also, of course, Ron and Harry will continue to notice girls more and to start to develop a little more confidence to deal with them. (Harry's first kiss?)


          Watching Ron and Harry grow up reminds me of watching Stew and Iaiaiaian grow up. The fighting over Sarah, etc. Just hope that Harry does not have to go through a permaban.

            Naw... I think they are a bit more sophisticated than Stew and Iain .

              Definitely.
              I'd love to get to know more about Hermione's parents too. I haven't heard anybody say this, but I think that at the end of his fifth year, it might be cool if Harry spends his summer as a guest of the Grangers'.
              I think she might do this, or something else, because I think that she might feel that she should have at least a couple of important muggle characters...

                      they might...
                      at this point, I'm not ruling anything out or in except for the facts!

                        That would be like Iaiaiain and Sarah ending up together. Or maybe I should turn Stew into Ron.

                          I've read the first 4 books twice now, but I think I'll start the first one again a week before the 5th comes out. That way I should be able to read them all straight through.

                          Not only have each of the books got longer each time, they have also got more 'adult' in tone - and no I don't mean they're turning into porn.

                          The end of Goblet of Fire was one of the most tense and exciting things I've read for a long while. The prospect of Rowling turning it up a notch with an nearly 800 page fifth installment is very exciting.

                          Do we think that a main character will die between now and the 7th book? (I know that's a long way off, but still....)
                          By main character I mean Harry, Ron, Hermione, their families, Hagrid, Dumbledore and Sirius I suppose. The good guys.
                          If I'm posting here then Counterglow must be down.

                            HP5 is already the Number One best seller at Amazon.com!

                            I gotta buy stock in that company! Any business that, for the next five months will be selling a book that does not yet exist, has got to make money.
