  • The new Harry Potter was fun.  Hes a little bitch now being a teenager, she is doing a decent job growing these kids up.

  • Somehow, we still tolerate each other. Eventually this will be the only forum left.

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>The HP series has been steadily moving from children's literature to just plain literature, starting with book 3. Read Stephen King's review of Order of the Phoenix (in which he says he liked it) in Entertainment Weekly. Oh, and don't be hatin'. ;-)</div>

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>Length alone does not make a great a book 'Adult' Sine. I've read very short Adult books (Clockwork Orange) and very long childrens books. For example, I found Roald Dahl to write far better novels, Child or adult, than Ms. Rowling.</div>

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>A kids book is more determined by the content rather than the length, not all kids are ADD. I don't know much about Harry Potter except that it's about kids.</div>
