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?

oh yeah, what's your guess as to who the initials belong to in the last book that was out?---the name of the book escapes me, as do the initials.

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..

      As far as I know and I have made severalonline searches, celiac disease disease has not been recognized as a cause of migraines or any eye problems. What I wrote must have been confusing.

      There is much helpful 'truth' posted on this forum. Truths about Celiac Disease are based on scientific research and people's experience. Celiac disease is inherited. There are 2 main Celiac 'genes' but they are variations of one gene called HLa - DQ What is inherited when a person inherits one or both of the DQ2 or the DQ8 is a predisposition to develop celiac disease after exposure to a environmental trigger. These 2 versions of the DQ gene are useful in diagnosing  celiac disease but there are about 25 other genes that are known to influence celiac disease so this food intolerance is a multigenic autoimmune disease. So with so many genes involved and each person inheriting a different array of these other genes one person's symptoms may be different than another's symptoms.  so many of these other genes.  I don't think that much research on these other genes as yet. So first I wrote something that seem to tie together celiac disease and migraines.  Then you posted that you had migraines and since you went gluten free they only come back when you are glutened. Then Scott showed an article that reported no connection between migraines and celiac disease, Then Trents wrote that it was possible that celiacs had more migraines  and some believed there was a causal effect. You are each telling the truth as you know it or experienced it.

      Aldi Pueblo Lindo Yellow Corn Tortillas

      By tiffanygosci · Posted

      Another annoying thing about trying to figure this Celiac life out is reading all of the labels and considering every choice. I shop at Aldi every week and have been for years. I was just officially diagnosed Celiac a couple weeks ago this October after my endoscopy. I've been encouraged by my local Aldi in that they have a lot of gluten free products and clearly labeled foods. I usually buy Milagro corn tortillas because they are cheap and are certified. However, I bought a package of Aldi's Pueblo Lindo Yellow Corn Tortillas without looking too closely (I was assuming they were fine... assuming never gets us anywhere good lol) it doesn't list any wheat products and doesn't say it was processed in a facility with wheat. It has a label that it's lactose free (hello, what?? When has dairy ever been in a tortilla?) Just, ugh. If they can add that label then why can't they just say something is gluten free or not? I did eat some of the tortillas and didn't notice any symptoms but I'm just not sure if it's safe. So I'll probably have to let my family eat them and stick with Milagro. There is way too much uncertainty with this but I guess you just have to stick with the clearly labeled products? I am still learning!

I will look into it more as I plan my little dinner to bring with on the Holiday I'm also glad a lot of research has been done for Celiac. There's still a lot to learn and discover. And everyone has different symptoms. For me, I get a bad headache right away after eating gluten. Reoccurring migraines and visual disturbances were actually what got my PCP to order a Celiac Panel. I'm glad he did! I feel like when the inflammation hits my body it targets my head, gut, and lower back. I'm still figuring things out but that's what I've noticed after eating gluten! I have been eating gluten-free for almost two months now and haven't had such severe symptoms. I ate a couple accidents along the way but I'm doing a lot better

"Researchers comparing rates of headaches, including migraines, among celiac patients and a healthy control group showed that celiac subjects experienced higher rates of headaches than control subjects, with the greatest rates of migraines found in celiac women.  Additionally, celiacs had higher rates of migraine than control subjects, especially in women. In fact, four out of five women with celiac disease suffered from migraines, and without aura nearly three-quarters of the time."
