half blood prince

am finally out of my blogger's block, and suddenly theres this rush of thoughts about what to write.

I think the new Harry Potter (its not that new anymore :D) would be a good start.

Childish as it may seem, I am one of those Harry Potter fans who were dying to get their hands on the book as soon as it was out.
Being committed to the cause, I finished it in a week, and can't help appreciating
J K Rowling.

She is truly, a master of imaginative writing. As soon as you start reading, within a few pages you are in your own world of magic, imagining each spell, each act, each concept.
You get involved in the characters and the plot, and then as the plot thickens, you race towards finishing the book to find out the answers to all the questions in your mind (and the book).

For all those who think against Harry Potter & J K Rowling (my mom is one of them... :d)
I would definitely suggest a read. I don't say she is the best kids' story writer ever... blah blah, but I think she is one of the best.

I think all the Bha.Ra. Bhagwat (Fa-Fe), and Enid Blyton fans should definitely give the HP books a try.

The good part ( my perspective) abt the whole affair is that the HP movies are no match for the books. (not that I miss any of the movies though :d)

anyways I am not such a die-hard fan that I can continue beyond this, so time to stop.

  • harry potter is not a book. It's a phenomenon. When my niece finished it for the fourth time, 4 years back or so, i was forced to gift it to my daughter, who has taken inspiration from her. The book was finished in only a couple of days and i had to gift another volume II to her as per the promose. Curious to know whyit hooked so many, I started reading it and i too got hooked to it. I finished 3 parts. Then my wife joined the bandwagon and we are a harry potter family.
    My daughter thereafter developed the knack of reading books vorasiously, not restricted to HP. Thanks HP and thanks JKR

  • Agree with you on the creativity thing. Harry Potter is not just a kid's book with unexplained magic. JK Rowling has given it a feel of an advanced system. In future if we have voice commands for everything the world will look somewhat like the book, isnt't it? There's a very good saying which goes something like "A sufficiently advanced technology can seem like a magic." And yes the movies are not even 10% of the book.
