What was your favourite Harry Potter book, and why?
 

Which one?

Deathly Hallows. By a mile.

I actually waited in a queue for that at midninght at my local tescos >.<

Farhenheit 451 - reason is self explanatory

I'd have to say Goblet of Fire, just because its the one where the **** finally hit the fan :p

we read the book: Goblet Of Fire at my Primary School.
so i just voted for that one :)

Deathly Hallows. The only one I've reread multiple times...it's very tense, and a good ending.

I love both the book and movie of Chamber of Secrets the best.

Order Of The Phoenix. It's very fast paced, has a lot going on in it, introduces loads of new plot elements, and there is lots of Lucius and Bellatrix.

That'd have to be my second favourite, especially because of the opening :)

Deathly Hallows was good too, though that was because it broke the cycle of the old books

Yeah it became more of a road trip, which I think made certain sections very drawn out, but it gets better towards the end.

:p Nice thread lol

I havent read that many books tbh, I was going to read the 2nd Book but stopped after a few chapters.

I think if I seen the movies then theres not much point in reading the books, although I may start reading The Goblet of Fire tonight tbh.

If I do get into reading the books, im worried about reading the 7th one incase it spoils the entire movie for me :(
I have never read a book and then watched the movie, its always been watch the film and if it was good then read the book.

I suggest reading the books, the films miss out a few things

Harry Potter and the hairy snatch of Blackburn

You have it the wrong way around TBH. It's far better reading the book as was intended then seeing how they put it to film. And you can't honestly compare the books and films in terms of depth. Especially from Goblet on.

I voted Order of the Phoenix, It's the one I've read the most and I loved the story and the ending and it's just epic. It was close between Phoenix and Deathly Hallows.

prisoner of azkaban is my favourite book, dunno why though. i just like reading it more :L

Deathly Hallows <3

Deathly Hallow's. You can just imagine the huge fight scene at the end

Oh sugar - can I delete you as amigo..........Farheneit 451 these child novels that destoying soon-to-be adults heads

DH > PS > GOF > OOTP > COS > POA > HBP

for me.

Farheneit 451 is an adult book, Harry Potter is a kids book, I dont get what your point is here, they're from different eras, for different generations and appeal to different audiences...there is no correlation between the two

Goblet of fire :)
I only read the first 5 books, I lost interest after that

Im inclined to say Deathly Hallows and although its one of my favourites, I would have to say Order of the Phoenix.
But Deathly Hallows is not far behind OotP.

No problem. I don't make friends with supremist twats who have a 2004 'itz for kidz' mentality about a great, highly imaginative, twist filled work of fiction.

Farhenheit 451 is the temperature at which paper ignites, which should be what happens to all Harry Potter books in the Claymores state..........not a difficult concept

On what grounds?

They're imaginative, they're interesting, they're well-written and they're pretty much the only series that have kept today's generation with an interest in reading (the only other example (though a bad one) I can think of is the Twilight series).

The best thing about the books are that, to rape a cliche, they are an entire universe like, man.

Sounds like a pitch for having a GCSE course in Harry Potter. If re-elected the Labour Government may introduce a fast-track degree course in Harry Potter

Sounds like a counter-argument with no coherence. If you reply you may be equally dismissive without any basis.

Not read them all but so far The Prisoner of Azkaban

Currently reading Order of the Pheonix but I'm hit and miss with HP books and tend to put them down and leave for weeks

Deathly Hallows is a great book. Chose that.

Wow...I at least expected a reply that at least argued with what I just said...this justs states a useless fact and your opinion, anyway, get out of the thread, this is a thread about What peoples favourite HP book is, its not a thread about Farenheit 451 or any other book

Farhenheit 451 was a reference to literature rather than Harry Potter books - spin me a spell and I'll disappear dearest. Are you hankering after that PHd in Harry Potter which the captains of industry are craving for?

The HP films are on TV every Saturday at the moment. I need to read the book quick before I see it on TV!! Trust it to be like a doorstop :laugh:

Nobody cares, this is a thread about Harry Potter books, nothing else, stop going off topic please :)

I like how the books 'mature' as Harry does

You are a lobbyist for the publishing company aren't you - what did the Department of Education think of your pitch for the Harry Potter GCSE?

Agreed. I've read it loads of times now it never seems to bore me! It's also quite emotional aswell and no other book has done that to me!! I love them all but that ones my overall fave!

What is your point exactly? The thread's about Harry Potter. You don't like it. **** off and don't post then.

How has a simple thread about Harry Potter turned into a debate?? :conf2:
