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..

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      @rei.b, I understand how frustrating starting a new way of eating can be. I tried all sorts of gluten-free processed foods and just kept feeling worse. My health didn't improve until I started the low histamine AIP diet. It makes a big difference. Gluten fits into opioid receptors in our bodies. So, removing gluten can cause withdrawal symptoms...

      Finding gluten free ingredients

      Imemsm, Most of us have experienced discontinued, not currently available or products that suddenly become seasonal. My biggest fear about relocating from Maryland to Florida 5 years ago, was being able to find gluten-free foods that fit my restricted diet. I soon found out that the Win Dixie and Publix supper markets actually has 99% of their gluten-free...

      Okay well the info about TTG-A actually makes a lot of sense and I wish the PA had explained that to me. But yes, I would assume I would have intestinal damage from eating a lot of gluten for 32 years while having all these symptoms. As far as avoiding gluten foods - I was definitely not doing that.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      So you're saying that you think you should have severe intestinal damage since you've had the symptoms so long? DGP IgG antibodies are produced in response to a partial gluten molecule. This is different than what tissue transglutaminase antibodies are produced in response to. TTg IgA antibodies are produced in the intestines in response to...

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      I was tested for celiac at the same time, so I wasn't taking naltrexone yet. I say that, because I don't. The endoscopy showed some mild inflammation but was inconclusive as to celiac disease. They took several biopsies and that's all that was shown. I was not given a Marsh score.

      @rei.b,  I understand how frustrating starting a new way of eating can be.  I tried all sorts of gluten-free processed foods and just kept feeling worse.  My health didn't improve until I started the low histamine AIP diet.  It makes a big difference.   Gluten fits into opioid receptors in our bodies.  So, removing gluten can cause withdrawal symptoms and reveals the underlying discomfort.  SIBO can cause digestive symptoms.  SIBO can prevent vitamins from being absorbed by the intestines.  Thiamine insufficiency causes Gastrointestinal Beriberi (bloating, abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea or constipation).  Thiamine is the B vitamin that runs out first because it can only be stored for two weeks.  We need more thiamine when we're sick or under emotional stress.  Gastric Beriberi is under recognised by doctors.  An Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test is more accurate than a blood test for thiamine deficiency, but the best way to see if you're low in thiamine is to take it and look for health improvement.  Don't take Thiamine Mononitrate because the body can't utilize it well.  Try Benfotiamine.  Thiamine is water soluble, nontoxic and safe even at high doses.  I thought it was crazy, too, but simple vitamins and minerals are important.  The eight B vitamins work together, so a B Complex, Benfotiamine,  magnesium and Vitamin D really helped get my body to start healing, along with the AIP diet.  Once you heal, you add foods back in, so the AIP diet is worth doing for a few months. I do hope you'll consider the AIP diet and Benfotiamine.

      Imemsm, Most of us have experienced discontinued, not currently available or products that suddenly become seasonal.   My biggest fear about relocating from Maryland to Florida 5 years ago, was being able to find gluten-free foods that fit my restricted diet.  I soon found out that the Win Dixie and Publix supper markets actually has 99% of their gluten-free foods tagged, next to the price.  The gluten-free tags opened up a  lot of foods that aren't actually marked gluten-free by the manufacture.  Now I only need to check for my other dietary restrictions.  Where my son lives in New Hartford, New York there's a Hannaford Supermarket that also has a gluten-free tag next to the price tag.  Hopefully you can locate a Supermarket within a reasonable travel distance that you can learn what foods to check out at a Supermarket close to you.  I have dermatitis herpetiformis too and I'm very sensitive to gluten and the three stores I named were very gluten-free friendly.  Good Luck

But yes, I would assume I would have intestinal damage from eating a lot of gluten for 32 years while having all these symptoms. As far as avoiding gluten foods - I was definitely not doing that. Bread, pasta, quesadillas (with flour tortillas) and crackers are my 4 favorite foods and I ate at least one of those things multiple times a day e.g. breakfast with eggs and toast, a cheese quesadilla for lunch, and pasta for dinner, and crackers and cheese as a before bed snack. I'm not even kidding.  I'm not really big on sugar, so I don't really do sweets. I don't have any of those conditions.  I am not sure if I have the genes or not. When the geneticist did my genetic testing for EDS this year, I didn't think to ask for him to request the celiac genes so they didn't test for them, unfortunately.  I guess another expectation I had is  that if gluten was the issue, the gluten-free diet would make me feel better, and I'm 3 months in and that hasn't been the case. I am being very careful and reading every label because I didn't want to screw this up and have to do gluten-free for longer than necessary if I end up not having celiac. I'm literally checking everything, even tea and anything else prepacked like caramel dip. Honestly its making me anxious 😅

      So you're saying that you think you should have severe intestinal damage since you've had the symptoms so long?   DGP IgG antibodies are produced in response to a partial gluten molecule.  This is different than what tissue transglutaminase antibodies are  produced in response to.   TTg IgA antibodies are produced in the intestines in response to gluten.  The tTg IgA antibodies attack our own cells because a structural component in our cell membranes resembles a part of gluten.  There's a correlation between the level of intestinal damage with the level of tTg antibodies produced.  You are not producing a high number of tTg IgA antibodies, so your level of tissue damage in your intestines is not very bad.  Be thankful.   There may be reasons why you are not producing a high quantity of tTg IgA antibodies.  Consuming ten grams or more of gluten a day for two weeks to two months before blood tests are done is required to get sufficient antibody production and damage to the intestines.  Some undiagnosed people tend to subconsciously avoid lots of gluten.  Cookies and cakes do not contain as much gluten as artisan breads and thick chewy pizza crust.  Anemia, diabetes and thiamine deficiency can affect IgA antibody production as well.   Do you carry genes for Celiac?  They frequently go along with EDS.
