I would be less shocked to see Dean sticking his tongue in Lid's ear than I was to learn he was into Harry Potter.

Why? Are you too cool to be a Potterhead?

[mdklatt]

Why? Are you too cool to be a Potterhead?

It's not my cup of tea, but I don't think there's anything wrong with it. I just think it's funny that you're a Potterhead. It's one of your many contradictions.

(Do Potterheads ever spend a whole year following JK Rowling around on her book tours?)

Dear Lordy, don't tell me you didn't know about this site...

PLEASE tell me you know about Leaky Cauldron, Veritaserum and the infamous Lexicon!

(if you don't, go visit them quick then come back and pretend that you do)

Some old lady at an airport turned me on to HPANA a couple years ago. I saw her reading one of the books and struck up a conversation. And yes, I've checked out Leaky Cauldron, Veritaserum, and a couple others. Even visited a couple that are in Portuguese and some other foreign crap.

I just started this as a copycat of the HIPAA thread. DOH.

See, if any of you male, non-Packer fans out there tried to question Dean, you would be dead :D

Oh, Dean's a 'packer, alright.

Emphasis both on the packer fan part... and the MALE part.

I am like Dean's little Packer cheering sister. Whenever a Packer hater comes around, all I have to do is ask big brother Dean to beat him up.

Packer fan little brothers, however, get beat up in the name of brotherly rivalry.

Thus, you question dean, you die. I question Dean (in a very light hearted manner, mind you) and I live! :D

Yay, I'm still alive :P

Packers suck.

How awesome is it going to be when they release Favre and he goes to QB with Purple Jesus and the rest of the Vikes?! :D

Not lately. I endoed it for a spectacular, 30 MPH faceplant a few weeks ago.

:les: THANKS CORRODED FRONT DISC BRAKE CALIPER PARTS!! BOCK BOCK!!!

[badger]

Purple Jesus=sheediest nickname ever. AD worked just fine, thanks. His daddy gave it to him. Why are you dissing daddy's nickname by giving AD a worse name? Of course Minnesota thinks it up. Minnesota sucks.

Oh, and Favre can't play in the Metrodome. It's his curse that he must live with. His dome play is awful. Moving to Minny would be a choice.

Actually, moving anywhere except Green Bay would be a bad choice!

In conclusion, big brother Dean? Can you take care of this? Plzkthx! :D:D:D:D

[C&CDean]

I still can't get off the floor after reading about Jed's facial.

Favre better not be like all the other losers (Emmit Smith, etc) who spend their crap years somewhere besides where they earned their HOF wings. That being said, if I had my way he'd start for GB, play a series or two, then hand it over to Rodgers. Seeing him in anything other than a GB uniform would pain me greatly. I can't even look at his early pics in the Atlanta uniform. On a sidenote, don't you think the Atlanta brass has kicked themselves in the *** ten brazillion times for dumping him?

Oh, yes definitely. Atlanta kicks itself in arse in more ways than Favre dumping. For example, the Michael Vick thing. For another example, the nearly-running-out-of-water thing. For another example, the Civil War burning-city-to-the-ground thing. For yet another example, the Katrina evacuees and the crime they brought with them.

Atlanta sports is phail. The only success ATL sports have is Madden cursed (Vick again)or false hope (losing record Hawks in the playoffs vs. Celtics to game 7). Screw Atlanta sports.

(why yes, i DO remember that playoff game where the Falcons beat the Packers in Lambeau Field and yes i AM still bitter about it! Why are you suddenly bringing that up after I trash Atlanta sports teams? Oh, and Atlanta also sucks for stealing the Braves from Milwaukee. BUT HANK AARON IS OURS, D@MMIT!)

[SunnySooner]

To all my fellow HP lovers, I'm going to Harry Potterland at Universal in June. I'll report back, if you'd like. I can tell you I've already been on Flight of the Hippogrif and The Dragon thingy rollercoaster many times, under different names. My fave is the blue dragon (formerly known as "Ice"), but they're both worth the wait in line. The new thing will be the castle, which we've watched being built over the last year or two, along with Hogsmeade, and I can tell you, just what we've seen from the detour routes, they will both be unbelievable, just like stepping into the book. Can't wait!! Go to universalorlando.com, they have a great preview of everything. I love Universal, hands down, no contest. Disney is a total "meh" to me, doesn't even compete, imo.

[C&CDean]

Only 164 days, and 9 hours until the first DH movie comes out.

And how can you already have been on those rides when they were built for this park?

Well, they were sort of repurposed. Flight of the Hippogrif used to be The Flying Unicorn, a "kiddie" rollercoaster, and Dragon Challenge used to be Dueling Dragons--aka Fire (the red one) and Ice (the blue one). They are the kind that your feet dangle free, they both take off at the same time and intertwine as they loop-de-loop. The old Fire and Ice rides used to have a castle that you went thru until you had to "choose your fate", where they split off into lines for each coaster. They added on and remodeled that castle to look like Hogwarts, and wow, it really does, the detail is amazing. Now the new ride is "Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey" which will wind thru the castle, thru all the rooms we know, Dumbledore's office, etc. with holographic visits by Dumbledore and later, Harry, Ron and Hermione. Beyond that, they haven't really said exactly what the "ride" part is, I'm guessing some kind of 3D type thing ala The Simpsons or Spiderman, where you're moving in a car, and screens are moving around you. IDK, I'll tell ya after we go in a couple weeks. All I know is, if you're coming to Orlando, blow off Disney and head for Universal, better rides hands down, plus they let you drink beer while you wait. Allsome.

[C&CDean]

I read in the Parade that you sit on a wooden bench and you really don't know if you're moving or everything is moving around you. The author said it was very realistic. He said you play a little quidditch following Harry and Ron, and they stop and duel a dragon, some dementers, etc.

I'll wait for all the buzz to die down then come check it out.

[silverwheels]

Dean! New trailer!

[picasso]

I do not believe that Dean is into this. Nope, notta.

[C&CDean]

Zip it before I give you the bat bogey curse.

[pilobolus]

I don't know which is worse, Harry Potter or Twilight.

[C&CDean]

Have you read them both to make a determination?

[pilobolus]

I sat through one movie of each series, not by my choice, and that was all I needed to know.

[C&CDean]

So what you're saying is you don't have a ****ing clue but you're popping off anyhow. Gotcha.

[pilobolus]

Oh, in this case, a small sample was more than adequate.

[Chuck Bao]

I don't know which is worse, Harry Potter or Twilight.

You really can't be serious.

Harry Potter will be long remembered as one of the best series of books ever written in children's literature. The later books are not light reading, but there is an infectious compulsion to read on. And, with the foreshadowing and emerging plot, you can see that J.K. Rowling expects the reader to grow up with the characters. I think J.R.R. Tolkien's works were very much similar.

The only thing that really bugs me about the Harry Potter series of books is a persistent theme of not trusting adults.

In my opinion, Twilight seems more about teenage angst. Honestly, I read two of the books and I just couldn't stand reading any more. There is just so much whining, complaining, crying that I can take. I am very, very happy that I never had a teenage daughter.

[badger]

I've read the first Deathly Hallows book, but not the second one. Is JK Rowling going to write it before the movie based on it comes out?

Pick up the Sorcerer's Stone and read it. Then get back to me. Like Chuck said, the HP series is one of the best ever written. You'd have to be a troll or a goblin to not enjoy it.

Couldn't tell you anything about the Twilight books/movies cause the whole vampire/teen love thing isn't my bag. However, if they're really well written, I could probably make it through them.

My daughter in law, who got me hooked on the HP series, tried to get me to try out the Twilight ones, too. I couldn't get past the first chapter. The chick who writes those is no Jo Rowling. Not even close.

Forget blonde moment. You are evil and I wouldn't be at all surprised if you had a snake tattooed on your arm.

If you didn't like the Deathly Hallows book, I am pretty sure you are not going to like the ending of the two-part movie based on the book.

Oh yeah - the snake's tattooed on the lower part of my arm with a skull. Press against it and it lights up! Wow, hope I don't have cancer for adding that feature.

[Oldnslo]

The Princess LOVES Harry. She didn't so much as want to read a page of Twilight and for Allison to not want to read something is significant. (Her school invented an award to recognize her usage of the library. No kidding). Blissfully, I have thus avoided sparkly-Twicrap.

I read HP. At first, it was just to be sure that it was okay for her to read. But JK writes a good story. If you're still on the fence, go forth and read it. You'll read 'em all.

We're going to Universal in the a.m, spend the nite and come home on Sunday--gotta show Mr. SS the HP World now that he's back. Can't wait!! I didn't get to go in the shops the last time, hopefully the crowds will be smaller and we can do that tomorrow. Honeydukes looks like a place I could do serious damage. I'll post some pics if ya want me to!!

It looks like they're going to be expanding the Wizarding World pretty soon, possibly doubling it in size.

Want you to? Do it dammit! So happy your man has come home. Being an ex-soldier, take care of that boy. And take him to HP after the lovin'.

[PDXsooner]

I read all 7 and finished last summer. My wife teaches 5th grade and many of them are reading various Potter books during the year. I always tell them to enjoy the journey, because finishing #7 was a sad day, it meant the journey was over.

[SunnySooner]

New pics from Hogswart!! Most of these are inside the castle, a little dark, hopefully you can see. The first two are from our hotel room--if you're thinking of coming to Orlando, now is the time!! The park is practically empty, the weather is not 7th-circle-of-hell hot, and hotels are CHEAP!! We stayed in a beautiful 4 star resort for less than $50/nite via Priceline. Love it!!
