GAAARRRRRGGHHHHH!

[semiotic_pirate]

I just finished Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. AARRRRRGHHHH!

The HPB wasn't anyone I'd guesses at - even though it was obvious afterwards. The rumors are right (and this was on JK Rowling's site so it isn't a spoiler) someone, a main character, gets offed... ::sniffles::

I found a couple of blatant errors that I wanted to know if it was in other people's copies:

Page 38; american edtion, first paragraph: the word fug should be fog...

Page 261; american edition, fourth paragraph: the word swilled should be swirled...

I won't spoil anything for anyone, but if any of you have read it (or parts of it so far) and want to talk about it feel free to send comments.

I'm off to see Charlie and the Chocolate Factory later this evening - I hear it follows the book much better than the 70's version of the movie. Goodie. Although I have to admit, unlike Batman Begins, I decided not to see this film in the IMAX theater even though it is offered as one.

Maybe you and David should talk! I haven't read it yet, as I still have to read Order of the Phoenix.

I'm almost halfway through...and so far...it's INSANE.

disappointed you say?

[bigbrotherinlaw.livejournal.com]

so, was your disappointment truly sorrow over the departed character? or were you disappointed in the book overall?

I finished HBP yesterday, having gotten a head start through no fault of my own. :)

I'm looking forward to the final installment, though there were a few things said that makes me wonder if our heroes will have a seventh year at Hogwarts. What do you think?
