Huge fan!!

I am waiting to see if the end of the last book will hold up. I hope she's faking us out a bit! I do not want to say too much in case I turn this into a spoiler for those that haven't read it yet. We have looked into pre-oredering the last book but may wait fora bit to see how it goes. My mother-in-law usually sends the books to our son for his birthday after they are released.

big fan here! DH and I have read the series together several times. I also hope that the last book is as good as all the others. Are you guys fans of the movies? I still can't decide whether I like them or not :P

Oh my goodness, I am so excited! I'm not going to have to teach in July, so I'm going to be able to curl up with the book on a nice lounge chair, sipping ice tea and eating gluten free cookies. I can't wait!!!!!

HUGE fan here too!! In fact, when the last book came out, dh and I had the kiddos at Borders for Harry's birthday party!! My older child dared me to play "Bertie Botts Wheel of MisFortune." I ended up eating three jelly beans - pepper, vomit, and grass. Ummmm, can you say... nasty?? He just laughed and laughed.

It was a lot of fun, they made magic wands, did face painting, wizard hats - all kinds of stuff. Lots of fun!

While I have serious issues with the movies (like half the story being left out) - I do like them. Though, I do not find the dementors to be as "scary" in the MOVIES as I do the books. LOL!

(My bday is that week too!!!)

The movie Order of the Phoenix is coming out on the 13th. It's my birthday that day, so I know what I'm doing!

While I have serious issues with the movies (like half the story being left out) - I do like them. Though, I do not find the dementors to be as "scary" in the MOVIES as I do the books. LOL!

The movies would be over 4 hours long! It wouldn't bother me, but you know, some people might walk out of the theatre.

I remember when we saw the Prisoner of Azkaban, Ty talked the WHOLE time: They're on the train how come the dementedors aren't there? Where are the dementedors? Where's Herminonee? Shouldn't Herminonee be there? There's the moon how come Lupin's not a werewolf yet? Where's the werewolf? What happened to Buckbeak? When is Harry going to see himself?

It was non-stop. He was only about 5, but knew the whole storyline because I'd read him part of the book and he had the computer game. I loved how he said demented-ors and Her-my-non-ee. :lol:

Yep but you'll be paying at least double for it :D Really I couldn't beleive the price of books in Oz... especially novels.

I'm looking forwards tot he final book before I start the last one... so I can read right through...

I think the whole series is very well written and I read it in both English and French...(up to the last book)

There are very few books I will buy new and in hardback, the HP's are a big exception. I can not wait! And a new movie to boot! July is going to be a good month.

Can't wait! My kids and I are big HP fans. We like to listen to the books on compact disc. We like the movies but, I'd rather see a mini series with the entire story than the edited versions on film.

Is Snape good or evil?......

i'm betting on snape still being good----i think there is going to be a plot twist---like maybe snape killing dumbledore was all about saving malfoy from becoming trapped in with the evil ones.

That is so funny. Your description of your son was identical to what I was saying to my husband in the theatre. I read the books and he doesn't. I wonder, if I act like your son, should I really be telling people my age. Hmmmm...LOL

I like the books and the movies.

I've always hoped that Snape was good, not because I parictulary like the character, would just be nice to see. Also hope that Draco turns out ok, although I'm not sure that he will live for that much longer.

They think the book will cost about $50.00 AUS here. I think that you half to get the US equivilant. The price will come down tho when the paper back version is released, also if you can usually get it slightly cheaper on the first day if you go to a discount store.

Anybody besides me hoping that Dumbledore is not really dead?

Remember in the first book, at the very first potions lesson, Snape asked Harry what he would get if he combined an infusion of wormwood with asphodel? The Draught of the Living Death.

Only thing is, it doesn't explain how Dumbledore's portrait appeared in his office....

I think Snape is good, too--just human, with faults. Same with Draco--he couldn't bring himself to kill Dumbledore--and remember, HIS mother loves him. THat's gotta mean something.

I think Snape is still good, but I think he was forced 'magically' to kill Dumbledore as he had an unbreakable oath to Malfoy's mother to ensure he was not harmed.

i keep thinking that maybe dumbledore isn't really dead. i have been watching harry potter again this morning. my oldest son was here and i just rambled on and on about the harry potter stories. he just listens to me even if i repeat the same things as the last time i rambled on and on about it!LOL!!! anyone else want to put on a robe and ride a broom after reading the books?

Ha-ha, yes, I always feel after reading HP that if someone would only hand me a broom, I could fly...

The book is Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, and the initials are R.A.B. I have no idea who R.A.B. is. Sirius' brother, Regulus Black, maybe? But we don't know what his middle name is.

I LOVE Harry Potter. My husband an I read all the books out load. We take turns. It is a lot of fun. Then we talk about what happend and try figuring out why. Hehe

So 2 people will die in the book. Sometimes I wonder if Dumbledore actually is n't dead and will come back in this last one..and maybe he will really die in it along with Voldemort. But who knows..

      New (possible) celiac diagnosis

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Judy M! Yes, he definitely needs to continue eating gluten until the day of the endoscopy. Not sure why the GI doc advised otherwise but it was a bum steer.  Celiac disease has a genetic component but also an "epigenetic" component. Let me explain. There are two main genes that have been identified as providing the "potential" to develop "active" celiac disease. We know them as HLA-DQ 2.5 (aka, HLA-DQ 2) and HLA-DQ8. Without one or both of these genes it is highly unlikely that a person will develop celiac disease at some point in their life. About 40% of the general population carry one or both of these two genes but only about 1% of the population develops active celiac disease. Thus, possessing the genetic potential for celiac disease is far less than deterministic. Most who have the potential never develop the disease. In order for the potential to develop celiac disease to turn into active celiac disease, some triggering stress event or events must "turn on" the latent genes. This triggering stress event can be a viral infection, some other medical event, or even prolonged psychological/emotional trauma. This part of the equation is difficult to quantify but this is the epigenetic dimension of the disease. Epigenetics has to do with the influence that environmental factors and things not coded into the DNA itself have to do in "turning on" susceptible genes. And this is why celiac disease can develop at any stage of life. Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition (not a food allergy) that causes inflammation in the lining of the small bowel. The ingestion of gluten causes the body to attack the cells of this lining which, over time, damages and destroys them, impairing the body's ability to absorb nutrients since this is the part of the intestinal track responsible for nutrient absorption and also causing numerous other food sensitivities such as dairy/lactose intolerance. There is another gluten-related disorder known as NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity or just, "gluten sensitivity") that is not autoimmune in nature and which does not damage the small bowel lining. However, NCGS shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease such as gas, bloating, and diarrhea. It is also much more common than celiac disease. There is no test for NCGS so, because they share common symptoms, celiac disease must first be ruled out through formal testing for celiac disease. This is where your husband is right now. It should also be said that some experts believe NCGS can transition into celiac disease. I hope this helps.

      New (possible) celiac diagnosis

      By Judy M · Posted

      My husband has had lactose intolerance for his entire life (he's 68 yo).  So, he's used to gastro issues. But for the past year he's been experiencing bouts of diarrhea that last for hours.  He finally went to his gastroenterologist ... several blood tests ruled out other maladies, but his celiac results are suspect.  He is scheduled for an endoscopy and colonoscopy in 2 weeks.  He was told to eat "gluten free" until the tests!!!  I, and he know nothing about this "diet" much less how to navigate his in daily life!! The more I read, the more my head is spinning.  So I guess I have 2 questions.  First, I read on this website that prior to testing, eat gluten so as not to compromise the testing!  Is that true? His primary care doctor told him to eat gluten free prior to testing!  I'm so confused.  Second, I read that celiac disease is genetic or caused by other ways such as surgery.  No family history but Gall bladder removal 7 years ago, maybe?  But how in God's name does something like this crop up and now is so awful he can't go a day without worrying.  He still works in Manhattan and considers himself lucky if he gets there without incident!  Advice from those who know would be appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!

      You've done an excellent job of meticulously tracking the rash's unpredictable behavior, from its symmetrical spread and stubborn scabbing to the potential triggers you've identified, like the asthma medication and dietary changes. It's particularly telling that the rash seems to flare with wheat consumption, even though your initial blood test was negative—as you've noted, being off wheat before a test can sometimes lead to a false negative, and your description of the other symptoms—joint pain, brain fog, stomach issues—is very compelling. The symmetry of the rash is a crucial detail that often points toward an internal cause, such as an autoimmune response or a systemic reaction, rather than just an external irritant like a plant or mites. I hope your doctor tomorrow takes the time to listen carefully to all of this evidence you've gathered and works with you to find some real answers and effective relief. Don't be discouraged if the rash fluctuates; your detailed history is the most valuable tool you have for getting an accurate diagnosis.

      Gluten free beer ?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In this case the beer is excellent, but for those who are super sensitive it is likely better to go the full gluten-free beer route. Lakefront Brewery (another sponsor!) has good gluten-free beer made without any gluten ingredients.

      Welcome to the forum, @catsrlife! Celiac disease can be diagnosed without committing to a full-blown "gluten challenge" if you get a skin biopsy done during an active outbreak of dermatitis herpetiformis, assuming that is what is causing the rash. There is no other known cause for dermatitis herpetiformis so it is definitive for celiac disease. You would need to find a dermatologist who is familiar with doing the biopsy correctly, however. The samples need to be taken next to the pustules, not on them . . . a mistake many dermatologists make when biopsying for dermatitis herpetiformis.
