For me, it's the A Series of Unfortunate Event Books. They aren't bad books, it's just that I'm 17 years old, so I don't flaunt the fact that I love them. Also, the Alex Rider series and the Maximum Ride series.

My mother has written a lovely children's book. I didn't realize just how talented she is. Does anyone know who we should show her work to? The contact information for someone who could help her get published would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I know I should've started earlier. I want to know what the fuss is all about. Any comments?

Not counting, like, Moody in GoF, have your opinions about certain characters gone through major changes?

For example, my ideas about Arthur Weasley have drastically changed. In CoS, he seemed to be a kind of quirky, mediocre "yes, dear" kind of guy, oblivious to much of what goes on with his sons. Later, he seems to be a much more mature, wiser guy, very talented. That he knows when the trio snuck off, saying, "please. you're talking to the man who raised Fred and George" shows he's been "in the loop" all along.

want constructive criticism. Please explain why you like it or why you don't like it. Thanks!!!

GOODBYE

Day after day,
The pain becomes more real,
All I can hope is maybe someday,
The hurt will finally heal,

I miss all the days laughing,
I miss the way you talked,
I miss all the smiling,
And all the times we walked,

The accident happened,
The pain will last,
I wonder if the risk would have slackened,
If you hadn't been going so fast,

My heart was breaking,
The news brought great grief,
It was breathtaking,
And I found no relief,

The pain was so terrible,
It still is to this day,
Sometimes it is unbearable,
Even to this very day,

This will hurt more than a bit,
The challenge is here,
I can find no way around it,
I have to say it here,

I will miss you,
I cannot lie,
I hope you miss me too,
But for now I have to say goodbye.

For example, King Arthur pulls the sword from the stone and this sets off a chain reaction that effects some kid in modern day....perhaps even finding a key element of that story (Excalibur). This can be replaed with any well known legend. Someone finds Paul Bunyan'a hat and becomes a giant....just as random examples. I know in The da Vinci Code and Harry Potter used the story of Nicolas Flamel. But Nicky the Alchemist isn't as well know as King Arthur.

Well thanks for the help!

When a person publishes their book, are they responsible for writing those little summaries on the back? Or do the publishers write those?

I'm guessing there will be many people trying to spoil the book, so I won't sign on until after I've finished reading it.

...as is Lord Voldemort of the Harry Potter books and movies, of course.

I know that "mort" means death, but what about "volde"? Anyone?

I dreamt the whole of book 7 last night.
I can't remember how it went exactly, but it began in a muggle shopping mall with Harry, Ginny, Neville and Hermione looking at shoes and waiting for Lockhart to make an appearance, for some reason. They have received their Hogwarts letters and discuss whether they are going back, deciding they should. All of a sudden, the mall dissolves, with the Death Eaters and Voldemort swooping down upon the four on broomsticks. Ginny, Neville and Hermione battle the D.E and Voldy, while Harry realizes that it is July 31 and he has to return the letters to McGonagall immediately to say they are returning to Hogwarts or they will lose their place. Unfortunately the letters are in the form of hundreds of cards, all perforated together and Harry has to break them apart and send them one at a time (wtf?). He spends ages doing this, while trying to avoid the flames of the Hungarian Horntail who has joined Voldy as a DE (lol). Harry then remembers that he is a wizard and uses the Diffindo spell to break the cards apart. He sends them away and it is at this point that I realize that I am reading the book and can’t resist the temptation to flick through the pages I haven’t yet read to find out who dies. I see that the whole book involves this one scene (god, how boring!) and read the end pages. Bellatrix and Narcissa die, but Voldy is lying on the ground under a tree, merely stunned by Neville’s Petrificus Totalus. Harry, Neville, Ginny and Hermione are relieved how it is all over (but Voldy’s still alive!!!) and Harry wants to resume his relationship with Ginny. However, Ginny bursts out, saying, ‘You can have him, Hermione, if it will make you so happy! I don’t like him anymore anyway! Neville, I love you!’ It is then that I wake up, feeling quite shocked lol.

I certainly hope JK has written the book a billion times better than this. lol. This is nowhere near what I have consciously envisioned!

why is a film not capable of doing this as well as a book?

are there no films which zero in on the internal dialogue...and i'm not talking about [badly/ineply done] narated voiceovers, like in "being john malkovich" here--however entertaining the film was in other ways.
