I think that she shouldn't speak about Harry Potter until she writes other books related to magic and stuff. If she keeps on saying sh!t about Harry Potter, she'll end up losing all her fans.

In a new clip from Harry Potter Wizard’s Collection, author J.K. Rowling and screenwriter Steve Kloves discuss one-on-one an opening scene in the Sorcerer’s Stone film and how Harry went mad. The Huffington Post UK had the exclusive reveal. You can watch the clip below or read the transcript provided by Snitch Seeker: Steve Kloves: There was this part in the script, when he was in the cupboard, I invented him a spider named Alastor, who he talked to. And he used to nick broken soldiers out of the rubbish bin, and he lined them up on the shelf. This broken army that Dudley had thrown out. J.K. Rowling: It was such a great image, the broken army. Kloves: And he used to talk to them, and the point was that he seemed slightly mad when I wrote the first draft. When Hagrid appeared, you thought he was out of his imagination for a minute. He had summoned this guy – Rowling: I think that’s a fabulous point, and that speaks so perfectly to the truth to the books, because I had it suggested that to me more than once that Harry actually did go mad in the cupboard, and that everything that happened subsequently was some sort of fantasy life he developed to save himself. Kloves: No and that’s where it came from. It came from the book. When you read the book, you make it pretty clear that he’s an abused boy. Rowling: Totally. Of course he is. Kloves: And so, there’s darkness there, and I would go with that. Did you too get the impression that Harry had went mad living in “the cupboard under the stairs” for all those years? I'm extremely sad with this possibility Please, J.K Rowling, don't you think about doing that with us LINK: http://www.hypable.com/2012/09/05/jk-rowling-steve-kloves-interview/

Thank you Yes, that's true. We all have different tastes in our reading. I liked 'Catching Fire' better than 'The Hunger Games' but it wasn't a very big difference. Just a small difference.

'Catching Fire' (Book #2 of 'The Hunger Games' trilogy). This book is more than perfect. It's full of mysteries, surprises, happy and sad moments and of course, plenty of exciting happenings. While you read through the chapters, you don't realize what's gonna happen next. You ask yourself: What's this book gonna be about if there's supposedly no more hunger games for Katniss to be put into? And then, again, you get caught with your mouth opened when you find out what. The exciting happening about the first book was about the hunger games, in the second book there's much more than that. The games is only one third of the book. The book is perfectly written, the new characters are well placed into the story and you feel happy and/or sad when stuff happens to them. I could only care for some characters of the first book, now reading the second book I started caring and feeling deeply concerned about other characters's lives. The first happenings of the book makes you feel worried about Katniss and people around her. Later on you realize there's much more for you to worry. Suzanne Collins is totally a new icon of the literature for me. What she's done is not just a book, it's a story to be placed on our hearts and never be forgotten. 'Catching Fire' is by far the best book of this trilogy. PS: I don't know about the last one, I haven't read it yet. I'll start reading 'Mockingjay' in a few hours.

I'm almost finished with reading 'Catching Fire'. It's way better than the first book, that was also pretty good.

I really enjoy reading Harry Potter. In my humble opinion, it's the best book series EVER!

J.K. Rowling is our best Billionaire example.

I've started reading this book a while ago, but I had to give it back to its owner. Since then I hadn't had the opportunity to read it. I guess I should just buy it.

Hello, vodkafan. Thank you very much for your welcome message. I started reading books because it grabbed my attention more than it did before. I really love books and one day I intend to be a writer and the first step for it is reading a lot. Thank you all for the kind welcome messages. I really appreciate that

Thank you my friend

Agreed. Rick Riodan's writing is really awesome. I love it! By the way, are you from Brazil? I lived in Brazil for 4 years and I speak portuguese fluently

I get what you mean

Thanks to both of you The second book is pretty good, too. I'm on my way to finish it.

Thanks for the great review. As I told you, I've read the first book of 'The Kane Chronicles' but I'm waiting to finish the 'Percy Jackson' series before reading 'The Kane Chronicles' and I'm also waiting for its box set to be released.

I've read the first book that I borrowed from a friend.

Have you ever heard of 'The Kane Chronicles' by Rick Riordan? I guess you have. It's from the same author of 'Percy Jackson and the Olympians' and 'The Heroes of Olympus' - which were both great series. 'The Kane Chronicles' is based on Egyptian mythology. The story follows characters Carter and Sadie Kane in their quest to discover the truth about their family and save the world. It is set in the modern day United States and United Kingdom. The novels are narrated alternately by the two protagonists, siblings Carter and Sadie Kane, who discover that they are part of a magical line descended from Pharaohs Narmer and Ramses the Great. They learn of the existence of Egyptian gods and goddesses, and mythical beings such as magicians and shabti. BOOK 1: The Red Pyramid BOOK 2: The Throne of Fire BOOK 3: The Serpent's Shadow It's a trilogy. I haven't bought the trilogy yet because I'm waiting for Amazon to release its box set including the three books and some posters of this amazing trilogy. Share your thoughts

‎'The Hunger Games' (Book #1 of 'The Hunger Games' trilogy). This book is pretty good. I loved it. It's both exciting and thrilling. I started reading it and I couldn't stop until I was finished. It somehow makes us to actually care about what will happen to the main characters. It's probably because of the well written plot and the character's personality and actions during the games. At first instance, you just want Katniss and Peeta to leave the arena and win the games, but later on you realise their problems will get much worse than that. It's a must-read! I'm currently reading the second book of 'The Hunger Games' trilogy - 'Catching Fire'.

Perfect! Now I'm able to edit my posts. Thank you guys!

The problem of buying the seven books separeted is that they are paperback and I prefer to buy the one volume which is hardcover. Thanks for the help. I really appreciate it.

Excellent! I have 30 more books to add to my first post here on this topic, how can I edit my first post?

I'll post here the books that I have in my bookshelf to read and they'll be crossed as soon as I finish reading them.

Hello, book lovers My name is Patrick and I'm from the UK, more specifically, from London. I've just turned sixteen years old a few days ago. I love reading books, even through I'm new to this awesome hobbie. I bought several books from Amazon and I received them a few days ago, they're all here in my book shelf just waiting to be eaten by me. I'm currently reading 'Catching Fire' by Suzane Collins. It's the second book of 'The Hunger Games' trilogy, as you may already know. That's a huge pleasure to meet you all, and I hope to have a great time here. See you around!

For example, the book ''The Magician's Nephew'' has 202 pages but it only has 100 pages in the one volume book. So C.S Lewis cut the book in a half to put it into the one volume. That's bad, I guess.
