Subject: RE: BS: New Harry Potter cover revealed From: MMario Date: 29 Mar 07 - 09:56 AM boy - the covers you guys get are *much* nicer then the ones we get west of the pond. |
Subject: RE: BS: New Harry Potter cover revealed From: Wesley S Date: 29 Mar 07 - 10:48 AM Agreed about the covers. They are nicer. I also heard that the first book had several words and phrases that were different in the British editions than in the American ones. In essence that they "Americanized" our copies so the would be easier to understand here in the states. I wonder if that's still going on. I'd prefer to read them in the original versions if possible. |

Both the Childrens and Adult cover versions ordered:-) Didn't fancy splashing out on the special as well! I guess I will get 2 Wizardologies - Just need to decide who would like one for Christmas now... :D |
Subject: RE: BS: New Harry Potter cover revealed From: Rasener Date: 29 Mar 07 - 11:33 AM No problem Dave >>Both the Childrens and Adult cover versions ordered<< Whats the difference, as i have to order 2 for my daughters. Ther will be figts if we only order one. The second wizardologies may well go into the raffle at Faldingworth Live LOL |
Subject: RE: BS: New Harry Potter cover revealed From: guitar Date: 29 Mar 07 - 12:02 PM I can't understand how Adults can get excisted over a book, Children yes but Adults! I have never read and saw a Harry Potter film or book, however that just what it is a book. |
Subject: RE: BS: New Harry Potter cover revealed From: Wesley S Date: 29 Mar 07 - 12:11 PM And that's the point. Children are getting excited over a BOOK. And what's wrong with that? Try reading one. |
Subject: RE: BS: New Harry Potter cover revealed From: Wesley S Date: 29 Mar 07 - 12:15 PM That should have said "Try reading a Harry Potter book". |

I have never read and saw a Harry Potter film or book, however that just what it is a book. Different folks, different strokes - it's a good thing we're not all the same. I, for one, want to find out what happens next. |
Subject: RE: BS: New Harry Potter cover revealed From: bfdk Date: 29 Mar 07 - 05:46 PM Me, too, I shall probably be incommunicado for a couple of days after getting hold of it.. :-) Best wishes, Bente |
Subject: RE: BS: New Harry Potter cover revealed From: The Walrus Date: 29 Mar 07 - 07:54 PM If I decide to buy a copy, I'll wait until Asda or Tesco run it at a discount - The books are resonable (in a one dimensional way)*, but no way will I bother to rush about after one. W * OK, I've read worse. |
Subject: RE: BS: New Harry Potter cover revealed From: GUEST Date: 30 Mar 07 - 03:51 AM Have reserved one for me and one for my grandson. Can hardly wait until July 21! Just wish the grandson was closer so we could read it to each other the way we did the first couple. Lin in Kansas |
Subject: RE: BS: New Harry Potter cover revealed From: Dave the Gnome Date: 30 Mar 07 - 04:04 AM It's only the covers that are different, Villan. There's no X rated scene in the Adult one or anything:-) Although from what I hear about Ron, Hermione and the Viagra spell... Dave |
Subject: RE: BS: New Harry Potter cover revealed From: Rasener Date: 30 Mar 07 - 04:12 AM Thanks Dave, might as well get the kids one then LOL |
