Can someone please explain to me the Harry Potter Phenom?
« on: June 20, 2003, 10:14:08 AM »
I mean isn\'t this just a book?  Why is it always such a huge deal when it comes out?  If they hid hundred dollar bills in say a thousand or so books then I could understand the hub bub, but if I\'m not mistaken it\'s just a freakin book.

I\'ve read one of the books, I don\'t understand it either.  It was OK, but not great.  In any case, If people want to get thrilled over a book, I\'m all for it.  Our nation needs to read more.

And I\'m not just saying that because I\'m a librarian.  :)

I dunno, lots of people seem to like it so it must be good. Im not into that kinda thing though.
It was a darkness all my own, a song played on the radio, It went straight to my heart - I carried it with me - until the darkness was gone.

I don\'t get it either.   My wife is demanding that I go stand in line at midnight tonight to get her copy, I just laughed at her.

I read part of the first one and didn\'t think it was that great, not terrible just nothing too exciting.

Are you serious? How much would a librarian make, if you don\'t mind me asking?

I watched one of the movies and thought it was pretty interesting.

I\'d never read the book though...

Gay as in "uncool" or gay as in "homosexual nimpho"? :p

If you knew how many hot women librarians I\'ve met in my career, you wouldn\'t be saying it\'s gay.  

BTW I work in a corporate library, not a public or academic library like you\'re probably familiar with.    Sorry, I\'m not going to post my salary here, but lets just say I\'m very comfortable even in Los Angeles.  Corporations pay better than public universities and municipalities.  :)

Wait a second here.

There is a huge difference between
A) It\'s a good book

and

B) Book is so freaking good I am willing to wait in line to get the first copy.

A:  It\'s not really that good, it\'s just people responding to the herd instinct.

I don\'t understand it at all.  But then again I\'ve never read any of the books, partly because I\'m illiterate, and have the attention span of a...anyone miss the Family Guy?

It\'s the most enjoyable book series I\'ve ever read.  Extremely accessible by almost anyone, and meets a wide demographic...not to mention the books are hugely entertaining.  I guarantee that if you were to go see the lines of people at the book store tonight that you will meet quite a variety of people varying in age and interest.  

If you think it\'s for kids you would be wrong, the series has grown up quite a bit in the 4 books that are out and from what I understand the 5th book has matured as well...not only the characters, but the situations they encounter.  

I\'m mostly into Anne Rice and Michael Crichton, but I would stop reading anything from those two if I had another Harry Potter book to read...I actually owe it to the Harry Potter series for getting me back into reading.

The first book is okay...the series gets better as you move along as did J.K. Rowlings writing abilities.  The best is The Prisoner of Azkaban...biggest jaw dropper ever!

If you like the movies, you would love the books...even though the movies have stayed quite faithful, there\'s something special about the books.  

I will be there at midnight and I can\'t wait to get in to it...the 4th book left so many possibilities.  Very excited
