Harry Potter

Hi pieanne. I also absolutely love the Harry Potter books. JK Rowling has already announced that the sixth book will be released on 16th July this year. There are tons of good websites where you can browse some information about the new book. I especially recommend you rowling's own website, which is also wonderfully done, in [url="www.jkrowling.com"]www.jkrowling.com[/url] or fansites such as [u

Hi, Novalee - or any member...
Does anyone know whether the name mimbulus mimbulosa or something, that's Longbottom's pet plant, can be explained in any way? To me it's plainly made up, but there's a question about it in the grammar forum.
Thank you!

00The Mimulus plant is a plant with yellow flowers known and used for a long time in Germany as a therapy; therapy for Fear. 02br

00In German the Mimulus plant is called the Gefleckte Gauklerblume or Mimulus Guttatus 02br

0 Wow,Rich! that's great! Thanks a lot! 02br
00I had googled mimbulus, and, of course, no result! 02br

00She's unbelievably clever with words, don't you think so? My favorite so far is the "Pensieve". 02br

0 I'm a very big fan Anne, and I can't wait for July either. 02br
00I've already pre-ordered my copy! 0-

0Let's speak about it by the end of July, then! 050010id1

0I've heard film n°4 will only be released in November, at least here in France. Too bad! They could have released it for the summer holidays! 05002br
00And now it's only 18 days before book n° 6! 010id6

I had pre-ordered n°6, and I got a message yesterday telling me it had just been sent ... 4 days before official release! With a bit of luck, I'll start reading it before anybody can buy it...

I love the Harry Potter books too, but I found number 5 to be rather diappointing. I kept waiting for something good to happen, and then it finished. I suspect it was all the pressure that was put on her to finish writing it, plus trying to make it thicker than the rest. What I really didn't like about number 5 though was that it wasn't as humorous as the previous ones. Perhaps she did that for e

Are you going to read n°6?
