You outgrew Harry Potter when you were 10?
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (spoilers) Page 2
I just don't get the Harry Potter books/films. They just seem too fantastical. Alright I get all the stuff about wizards and flying cars and everything.......
........ but come on.... a ginger with 2 friends!

You moved onto more mature, advanced stuff like Pokemon.

you realise "outgrew" and "got bored" aren't one and the same, right? "Outgrew" gives the impression that you thought the books beneath you at the age of 11.
haha I very probably did to be honest... I was headstrong when I was 11- I realise theyre different things, but I thought they were beneath me because I got bored I spose
You'd prefer Pirates of the Caribbean and Captain Pugwash.
not quite...

I didn't notice that it was set in 1997. But I suppose that makes sense chronologically if Harry started school in the year the first book was written.

I want to read that version.

The first book was published in 1997, so Harry would have started school (in the logic of the books) in 1990.
Well then that's mental.
Maybe she wrote it originally in 1990 and it took 7 years to get published?....
Or, as I said, she's just a mental.
Well she began writing it about 20 years ago now, yes. I forget exactly. One would have thought that she wouldn't back-date it like that though.

Hope for us yet then - if some of us live that long!

Well...............I finally watched the last disc (the 2 or 3 extras discs can stay unwatched!!) in the Blue Ray box set I had bought for me some three years ago, and can only say.................
WTF was that all about! The fuss, I mean. Just don't get it. I like fantasy films, but this was just plain boring.
Now if Harry and Ron had spit-roast Hermione in this final film, THAT, would have made it a bit more interesting.
