    Registered as an EU trademark by Warners through a subsidiary last July apparently (along with a pile of other names)

    Better as a name than "Harry Potter and the Doomspell Tournament" would have been for book 4 (obviously JK Rowling has an editor who recognises a crap title on sight)

    Apparently it was orginally the name for book 2, and JKR hinted that book 2 has a lot of stuff that ties in with book 6....

    I'm guessing you don't rate Harry Potter books? :)

    I've heard that the Half Blood Prince is
    Hagrid

    I did not like tha last book that much, it felt like a filler, come to think of it they all felt a bit like filler leading up to something that never happened

    Harry Potter books are fantastic for all ages and sexes, Im a 21 year old bloke and Ive read all 5 that have been released about 3 times each.

    Anyone who reckons they are crap must be to busy "being to cool" to read them.

    I'll second that Draupnir!

    Im 25 and have read all books 2 times -I think they are excellent!

    Was a little disappointed with the last book though - it was dragged out a bit.

    The best book by far was The Goblet of Fire - best book I have ever read!

    I read about a third of the first book, and felt my intellect dropping all the time. Whatever swings your boat is fine by me - i did have a smiley after my last comment - I wasn't being 100% serious....

    maybe only around 95% :D

    Now as Draupnir said - lets all be cool and crack open a fine Nietzsche... anyone? :D

    I don't think Mr. Potter's for absolutely everyone.

    I went into book 1 with an open mind, by the end I was reluctant to read book 2, but I did, and without much joy. Still convinced I was going to fall into obsession like the rest of society, I started book 3. Half way through I couldn't continue. I didn't want to know what happened and that was that.
    You can't force books to grow on you. God knows I tried.
