ExcruciationX's Hand Holding The New Potter Book.

[ExcruciationX]

I was bored (as a get often) and I decided to show my hand on the new Potter book (to show scale).

http://xs217.xs.to/xs217/07290/ExHand.jpg

I've read to page 274 in 3 hours of owning the book.

[ICE]

[ExcruciationX]

It's my crappy phone camera.

[Napalm-Death]

You're that bored? XD

[ExcruciationX]

You're that bored? XD
Well, why would I be on a forum? ;)

[kcajblue]

[ICE]

[lmtlmt]

You read to page 274 in 3 hours of owning the book hey?

[wolfpack]

[lmtlmt]

I got the adult version of the book when I was on my way home yesterday from being away, I'm going to get the children's version when I'm out and about tomorrow...

...I'm not reading mine thou, I'm keeping it in collectors condition by not reading it (why ruin a first print) - I will borrow one from the library if I'm eager to read it (or wait until 2009/2010 for the movie) :D

[Triv1um]

Thats a mighty fine hand you have there my good friend.

[lmtlmt]

Adult version and childrens version? wtf?!?!?!?

[VampDude]

Adult version and childrens version? wtf?!?!?!?

Like what I thought when I saw 2 versions in the store, adult version (picture attached below) sitting on my keyboard...

...This is the UK adult version, I compared thickness and size of the 2 versions and there is no difference apart from the cover???

Just a different cover? What's the point?

[lmtlmt]

Yer??

[Elmarco]

So that adults don't look like total idiots reading a childrens book. They change the cover and make it seem more adult like. thats the godhonest truth

[Evon von Vampdragn]

Adults shouldn't feel ashamed for reading that for a different cover just because the other one looks like a kids book, might i add a really large "kids" book.

[acn010]

lmao!!!!!!!!!!
hands!!!!!!!!!!!! ha ha ha ha

Thats very true, Happy Potter appeals to older reader too.. Even readers with a "posh" book collection.

If one of those childrens books was to be inside a posh book case surrounded by all posh books. It would look gay

[Vampbri-n]

ExcrucationX hands looks greyesh-whitish color

[ExcruciationX]

Okay, finished it.

Excellent book.

[Vampbri-n]

I saw it all on a website, then my girlfriend called me and told me the ending, so yeah the book is the same as whatever is on the internet.

[BrooksyX]

Too bad anybody would look like an Idiot if they were caught reading Harry Potter! :rofl:

;) just kidding.

[Vampbri-n]

Edit:oh sorry i didn't see the jokeing thing.

Yeah, you're right there.

[gdf]

ha ex i finished it before you. and the usa cover sucks compared to ours!

i went to the midnight launch also very good.

plus more than 250 pages in 3 hours is incredible, it is supposed to take 20 hours to read in total. i'm now certain you are a bit autistic. and the ending of the plot was very satisfiny, but the epilogue was the shittest piece of shit ever, destroying a good series. it stops you wondering about what the future holds for the characters. turns out it is mundane bollocks.

[LilSwish722]

I have this book. Reserved it the day the sixth book came out (to assure i get it) ended up getting it for $27...good book too...

[ICE]

i got over the reading this kind of fiction just out of grade school lol. i read the chronicles of narnia before i was 11.. ALL OF THEM!!lol

by then id had my fill..

[pt9087]

@Vampdude! lmao same keyboard :thumbup:

I agree. The book was great, but the "19 years later" thing was unnecessary.

I think it was for closure, so no one could continue the story.

[mesosade]

Uh oh, the hands return!

[ExcruciationX]

Uh oh, the hands return!
That could whoop your ass any day! ;)

You realize how many people in fanfiction will be continuing that ending. I get your point, im pointing somthing out as well.

Too many! :p

[VampDude]

Yer??

@ Sonicboy 101 + lmtlmt:

It's all to do with marketing appeal for both older and younger readers, strangely enough more adult readers read the Harry Potter books than children so there are ones for adults (with the cool covers) or the ones for children (with the weird looking cover with Harry and his 2 friends)


So that adults don't look like total idiots reading a childrens book. They change the cover and make it seem more adult like. thats the godhonest truth

lol


Adults shouldn't feel ashamed for reading that for a different cover just because the other one looks like a kids book, might i add a really large "kids" book.

It's not that adults feel ashamed, it's nothing to do with the adult readers. The publication decided that because adults read the books aswell as children that they could market an adult version aswell as the children's version using a different cover and back. The adult version has a picture of J.K.R on the back cover, whereas the children's version doesn't.

I've seen adult's who are upper class reading the children's versions, they don't seem to mind??? lol


Too bad anybody would look like an Idiot if they were caught reading Harry Potter! :rofl:

;) just kidding.

lol, they would if they actually looked like Harry Potter :rofl:

Was you bored when you decided to read the whole book?


I have this book. Reserved it the day the sixth book came out (to assure i get it) ended up getting it for $27...good book too...

Why? It's currently very easy to obtain a copy of the book (maybe you didn't know at the time), I now have both UK versions of the book - image attached below
