I'm wondering about there being plenty to question once the book is done. Its it the point of the final book to answer all those questions?

Good point! I'm just curious - who here is planning on reading the six first books before the final one comes out?

I'm gonna reread them. Well, at least the earlier ones. I read the first 4 about 5 years ago. Then just a couple years ago I read 5 & 6 during the summer. I want to reread the first 4 to see difference between them and the movies because there was such a time difference in when I read and watched them. I'll definitely reread 5 & 6 too because that's when stuff started getting really complicated throughout the whole story so I need a refresher course. I'll prolly start reading them when school lets out so I will have time to finish them by July. It won't take me that long to read them, 2 months, but that way I'm in no hurry and can possibly read some other books too.

The 5th & 6th are a must because there's not even movies to remind you a little about what you read, and unless you have an impeccable memory, good luck remembering all the little details you'll need. I completely forgot about a horcrux, all I know is it's something I heard in the book, but I have no idea anymore what it is.

I didn't think of that. It looks like I'll have to go back through them too, probably not all of them though.

Memccart posted a similar link over at the other thread, but here's the main page of Mugglnet's essays and editorials (i recommend the Underground Lake column) www.mugglenet.com/editorials/And here's stuff from the Leaky Cauldron www.the-leaky-cauldron.org/#scribbulus:issuesand the "mother-ship" of non-fanfiction HP writings, the Harry Potter Lexicon www.hp-lexicon.org/essays/essay-index.htmlI paste these links for ya'll coz i find as a fan it's fun to see what other fans are hypothising, given in an intelligent and coherent fashion. And just in my case, it increases the hype tenfold!
