Yay you should definitely hang around, even if you are going through a busy time, you can drop by whenever ^^

Pizza...

Uh oh It is great though it has a talking polar bear, where can you go wrong with that?

I'm always willing to read the series however many times

Yay 'Northern Lights' is one of my favourite ever novels.

His Dark Materials should definitely be on your TBR list, they are brilliant and pretty layered books

If you write something or put any form of art out there, people will discuss it, interpret it, criticize it, love it, hate it, whatever - the fact that people take an interest in the author's work probably makes them happy.

I was the same, and am the same, about things people recommend or anything that is hyped up, i tend to find things out or try things in my own time etc so when i asked a friend about Harry Potter in like 2002 and he said it was brilliant, i was a little sceptical, but i tried it and grudgingly found it great I don't think they get 'better' as it goes along, it certainly gets more complex, but i find the earlier books perhaps more enjoyable than the later ones, maybe i just like how charming the first couple are in a lot of places. I would definitely recommend continuing and taking them for what they are and not that they're 'Harry Potter' books if that makes sense, i'm not sure. It's a fantastic series of books though. I agree about His Dark Materials, those books are great

I would love to read about Lockhart and his smug ramblings also, that guy cracks me up. Brilliant character, in fact all of the Dark Arts teachers are great, always thought Quirrel was a weirdo though, kinda figures

I had chicken pieces with cheese in pastry, broccoli, potato smilies and gravy

Read Eragon and found it quite charming, Paolini can write very fluently and vividly. Got about a quarter through Eldest and put it down as it didn't seem to be moving anywhere, i will probably give it another go sometime for sure though.

I would actually pay

That would be interesting i think, reading about Hogwarts in the different ages and generations, i was always intrigued when there were the old 'memories' which we got to see.

I used to play football, badminton, cricket and some athletics very often. I am quite active with exercise and such, i do a lot of running too. I want to get into tennis properly in the next few years, would love to learn karate and wouldn't mind a game of football with my friends every now and then

Haha i always notice those, Malfoy and Snape crack me up with their hatred of everything

Welcome to ze forum

This is exactly what i thought when i saw it; 'That's really pretty ^^'

I love those from Blake also
