Slough's just horrifically grey. Croydon is the true focal point of scum everywhere. Stabbings are a regular occurrence here

Hmm.... Ok. You win. But only on the stabbings point!

I read all the Harry Potter books. I even read the fourth one early as I was used for the photo shoot in a national newspaper.
I've also read His Dark Materials Trilogy, which were fantastic and I began, but didn't enjoy, The Da Vinci code.

Yes. It's all very mysterious. Just blind luck really.
I would kill to be one of the lucky few.
(Not that I write about wizards.)

I'm going to be like Manny and Bernard and say "I could write a children's book!" and progress to it in much the same way that they did!
"Where were you at the time of the murder, Reverend Green?" "I was in the library with Miss Scarlett...and a rope..."

Me either really, the Hoobs rule in the morning, just for some reason the whole adoration of Rowling and her books got on my tits

Well there's a misguided set of allegiances if I ever saw them, but each to their own!

Erm. Gav's clearly not read any either.

Indeed!

Nope seen the films though. I quite like them.

It was a bit like "This is what a child looks like reading Harry Potter!"
In case the readers of the express couldn't get their heads around it.

Nope. Plus Ive worked in a kids book shop, and every other book featured boy wizards and very similar plots to Potter, I never could understand why this one happened to catch on so much. Im sure its well written and everything, but so were a lot of the others that were left unloved on the shelf.

It was the first of the ones with the best marketting.

Celebrity Fitness DVDs.
They did NOT lose all that weight by JUST doing that DVD, they starve themselves and work out 7 hours a day!!!!!

So many people at my school are used as extras in the Harry Potter films!
(P.S. I love your signature, phQnix.)
