Hmm.... Ok. You win. But only on the stabbings point!

I read all the Harry Potter books. I even read the fourth one early as I was used for the photo shoot in a national newspaper.
I've also read His Dark Materials Trilogy, which were fantastic and I began, but didn't enjoy, The Da Vinci code.

I would kill to be one of the lucky few.(Not that I write about wizards.)
What do you write about?
What were you...used for exactly?
I'm going to be like Manny and Bernard and say "I could write a children's book!" and progress to it in much the same way that they did!

Well there's a misguided set of allegiances if I ever saw them, but each to their own!

I'm just not holding it back for once.
Quote: zooo @ May 16 2008, 8:44 PM BSTErm. Gav's clearly not read any either.
Indeed!
Quote: Gavin @ May 16 2008, 8:45 PM BSTNope seen the films though. I quite like them.
Again, allegiances!

Ooh. All sorts. Priests, meteor showers and Dungeness at the moment.
Quote: zooo @ May 16 2008, 8:48 PM BSTWhat were you...used for exactly?
It was a bit like "This is what a child looks like reading Harry Potter!"
In case the readers of the express couldn't get their heads around it.
Quote: Matthew Stott @ May 16 2008, 8:46 PM BSTNope. Plus Ive worked in a kids book shop, and every other book featured boy wizards and very similar plots to Potter, I never could understand why this one happened to catch on so much. Im sure its well written and everything, but so were a lot of the others that were left unloved on the shelf.
It was the first of the ones with the best marketting.
And bloody cool artwork.

Excellent.
Celebrity Fitness DVDs.
They did NOT lose all that weight by JUST doing that DVD, they starve themselves and work out 7 hours a day!!!!!
ARGHHHH
So many people at my school are used as extras in the Harry Potter films!
(P.S. I love your signature, phQnix.)

We all would. Think of the oodles of cash!

Not even about 'magic wands'?
