the books?


I just skipped ahead when it was discussed. I want to see some magic and Voldemort action. I don't care about Lavender and Ron. Or Krum and Hermione. And most of all, Harry and Ginny/Cho.

I think the relationships became too much at some points, I read those parts a lot faster than I reads the rest of the books. They tended to get a little boring I think.

To some people, the lessons parts are boring. Personally, reading about the guys being in class learning various spells was a blast of excitement for me. I think the relationships part was nice, maybe too much Ron/Hermione but it's a nice ship, and Harry/Ginny is not going over the top - I bet you wouldn't like it if JKR was more descriptive on those "days by the lake, taken from someone else's life". Very Happy

I guess that if you aren't into reading romance parts it could get a bit boring, but hey - you get rewarded in the end of each book. Wink

I liked the relationship bits, but I did sometimes get the "oh my god, just get on with it already" kind of thouht when Ron and Hermione was concerned. They both liked eachother god. Lmao... but it was quite cool the way it was dragged out..

I just completely contradicted myself...

...anyhoo:P

I liked them;] Harry/Cho was a bit much with all the crying tho, i would have probably hit her... oops..Smile

I love the relationships in it! Ron and Hermione are the mirror-images of my boyfriend and I when it comes to the fighting.

I enjoy them all! Razz

Which one, there's about 3 mentioned in that post.

Anyway, I think the relationships made the book more ... realistic in a way.

I just find it funny how Dylan knows better than you while he hasn't read the books. Maybe you should consider rereading. Rolling Eyes
