*giggles* noooo, not that part. But I know who dies. My friend explained the whole series (minus book 7, of course) to me. I think it took an hour and don't remember half of it. geeze you missed out on alot.. cause i couldnt explain the whole thing in an hour for the life of me.. i'm a sucker for the details.. seriously the movies dont do them justice... like in the 3rd movie.. i dont know if you remember seein a headless horseman b4 the halloween feast, but there was one there, and our trio was supposed to be at nearly headless nick's birthday party.. oh AND in the 4th movie, they cut out almost whole chapters.. and left in little snippets refrencing what possibly happened.. I'm sure the books are better than the movies, but I just don't have the damn patience to sit and read an 800+ page book. Plus, I'm not all that into fantasy novels. Too much deciphering and thinking..... I get bored. My friend told me that they left out alot of stuff in the 4th. Even I left the theater feeling "Something was missing..." But everytime I watch Goblet of Fire, I cry when Cedric dies (sorry anyone who hasn't watched it). I loooooooove the 3rd movie. I don't care what anyone says, I just love it. I've seen it so many times (thank you HBO) that I could recite the lines.

I've seen it so many times (thank you HBO) that I could recite the lines. i cant read past 20 pages for the most part without falling asleep.. but with harry potter i'm done with 50 before i know it.. they're written for kids and adults, so they're a very easy read with much vivid imagination provoking stuffs.. well the only movie that's almost entirely acurate was the first one.. i'll see #5 when it comes out.. but i'm not going to be expecting much out of it.. cause i'm pretty sure they'll butcher it all.. oh, and harry was supposed to start his infatuation with Cho Chang in the 3rd movie.. but they never mentioned it at all.. ugh i should stop.. there's so much awesomeness left out.. you should just go ahead and read them all.. start with a later book like i did, then the previous ones wont seem as daunting.. hell they'll seem downright easy...

;DNo, I plan to read it. Why buy a book that cost $34.99 and not read it?? I drove by Barne and Nobles yesterday around 7pm and there was a long line and the newscast was there.
