What was your favourite Harry Potter book, and why?
 
Which one?

Vicky. 02-04-2010 02:21 PM

Deathly Hallows. By a mile.

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

Claymores 02-04-2010 02:22 PM

Farhenheit 451 - reason is self explanatory

Scarlett. 02-04-2010 02:23 PM

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

Stacey. 02-04-2010 02:24 PM

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

Shaun 02-04-2010 02:28 PM

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

Ross 02-04-2010 02:30 PM

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

Stu 02-04-2010 02:37 PM

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.

Stephanie 02-04-2010 04:01 PM

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

Ninastar 02-04-2010 04:05 PM

Deathly Hallows <3

Smithy 02-04-2010 04:15 PM

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

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

MusicMan 02-04-2010 04:42 PM

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

Glenn. 02-04-2010 04:59 PM

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
