sassy/ HP Update


I have to say that I found "Goblet of Fire" very dark - even more so than "Prisoner of Azkahban". At first, I thought that the last two books were not for young adults, but when you think of the types of video games they're playing, "Goblet" was probably a piece of cake.

Have you heard what Book 5 is about??
~~~~~~~~~~

I also think that the books mature as they go, but I appreciate that. I have never thought these books were meant for 5 years olds. That's why I am concerned there will be some backlash when unwitting parents still think it'sa ok to take there little kids to see the next HP movies. Young adults in my mind is 11 and up. I think an 11 year old can handle them, and parents should appreciate that the books don't try to downplay evil or ignore grey area.

In reguards to what Book 5 is about, JKR has given a card with 93 words pertaining to the book to Sothebys to auction off for charity. The auction house has released 13 of the words as a preview for bidders. Some words include "38 chapters, Ron, broom, dies, sacked, and sorry" that's all I can remember right now, but the website www.the-leaky-cauldron.org is taking donations so that they can bid on it and post it for everyone to see. It's looking like the book will be released sometime around May or june right now.
