Re: Harry Potter
From http://www.scribd.com/doc/185494/Har...eathly-Hallows
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
by JK Rowling
Chapter 1
It was a dark and rainy night, characterised in the main by darkness and rain. All that could be heard for miles around was the soft ‘woo-ing’ of an owl. And a tramp. The summer was drawing to a close, and all little freaks wizards had just started arrived back to Hogwarts after three months of frollicks, home-made lemonade, and scabrous bullying at the hands of the ‘normals’.
Harry looked out of the window his new window, gazing out upon a new view of the school grounds that he’d never really appreciated before. The top of the Spells’n’Shit classroom looked a bit like a knob, he thought to himself.
Then everyone died.
And if you can't wait, the actual transcript is here http://www.blogforpeace.org/blogimag...%20hallows.pdf

Re: Harry Potter
i hope there's more involvement in the Muggle world in the last book - maybe some of them help the Order... could Dudley thus be redeemed? at the very least i hope we see more of the Muggle world than just the Dursleys - throw in some chavs ;-)

Re: Harry Potter
Habit and preference.
The books were released earlier in the UK than in the US.... up until Goblet of Fire; and the earliest books were heavily 'translated' for us muggles
in America, with not just "color" v "colour" but many word substitutions and grammar changes. Couldn't have the kids here growing up with a bad literary example! The most recent book's changes were refreshingly minimal, but I am taking no chances!
