semiotic_pirateI 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.

Re: disappointed you say?
Date: 2005-07-18 02:34 pm (UTC)Now we're set for book seven. As I said, I'm concerned about Harry's declaration that he'll not be returning to Hogwarts in the fall, then I suppose his fate wrt TMR will either result in his death or being more than qualified to be an Auror.
Thing is, what I find myself hoping for is for him to become the _permanent_ faculty member for Defense Against the Dark Arts (breaking /having broken the curse).
