I don't know if any of you have heard of this. I came across this whilst buying books from Amazon: Don't know why, but I think you should click this link, it might be important (http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/feature.html/ref=ms_sbrspot_1?ie=UTF8&docId=1000137983&pf_rd_p=209125291&pf_rd_s=center-1&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_i=468294&pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_r=0PT1A9BR7R3CRD9MGEPQ). I think it's completely stupid that someone's had to fork over a load of money for a copy of this book, then she just goes and releases it to the public soon after. She just get's stupider and stupider in my eyes.

Wtf.

Has she lost it?

You're completely right, it makes no sense to make it limited and make someone pay way too much, then suddenly release it.

I won't be buying it. Since the last part of Deathly Hallows, I've completely lost faith in her. Everything she's done after that just deepens my anger.

The last part of Deathly Hallows was crap...

hmm... ... well... I'm laughing at amazon who paid 1,958,000 pounds for it... :D


I mean really, wow. This woman could shit on paper and it would sell billions now.


She's already richer than God but at least she's giving the proceeds to a charity.

I won't be buying it though :P

Arg! This pisses me off! She should've just had the book made and sold like every other damn book she's written. It would've raised more money then just have like...four copies being sold for a redunkulous price. Arg it just makes me so mad! :mad:

I'm not going to buy it, just because she ruined DH's ending.

Ichigo

Yeah. I'm not buying it either. DH ending was such a let down. It almost made me cry. But I was much to ANGRY to.
:mad:

I've had that on pre-order at WHSmiths for two weeks already. There are postes about it verywhere where I live . . . It's like being tortured, so yeah, I'm getting it. I can't resist. :D

I'll probably buy it, too, just out of curiosity. The limited editions might not have been the greatest idea on JKR's part, but their binding was so beautiful. I can't resist magical-looking books like that >.<

The book actually looks pretty lame, the fake magical feel. Fame's gone to Rowling's head.

The ending of the last book wasn't too bad, except that Fred died and the "nineteen years later" thing was kind of random - due to the number, really. Nineteen years? Why not an even number?

But I still think she's a pretty good writer and the limited edition seems amazing. I would buy it just for craftmanship of the book, even if I didn't like the content.

Read this. It's a parody of Harry Potter. Well, this one strip is. It's from a webcomic that I read. It sums up HP in a nutshell.
