[Wyzfen]

beergal - i have those books on my computer - message me your email and i'll send them to you.

How did you plan on reading them btw ? Got a book-reader / laptop ?

Wyzfen

[beergal]

thanks wyzfen omi sent me books 1-3 but if you got 4 and 5 that would be great,
leah i got a laptop! i was reading a bit last night had to get my american/english head on to translate lol i love harry potter

[MolsonGirl]

LOL I don't wanna start another 9/11 forum debate but I find it sooo funny that so many people from the states think that American is a language... LOL I mean every country has it's slang words but that doesn't constitute a language.... Anywho just wanted to say that..

P.S. Beer gal I'm working on getting my but to the Warner Bros store in London this saturday and I'll see if they have Muggle T's and let you know

[beergal]

i can understand why rowling needed to translate loads of words antway i mean why did she have to change the first name of the book from phillosopher to sourcer? Rubbish to trash can? pavement to sidewalk?
that would be great if you could and then ill send my boyf in to get me one too

[omisan]

This is really sad, but I read that the reason they changed it to "Sorcerer" is because American kids would be confused by the word "Philosopher," and that "Sorcerer" sounds more exciting.

beergal - i have 4 & 5, but not your email address



And about the translations, I saw the greatest line a few months back..

An american on a forum said 'i didnt understand that article at all - was it written in some sort of british slang' ?

and the response : 'yeah, its called "english" '

[beergal]

ha ha ha ha that sounds about right! Thats a cool response! I find it fascinating how there are loads of variations in american-english spelling to like color (colour) umm thats the only one i can think of right now lol

[MolsonGirl]

I'm just glad that Canada got the original versions of the Books, orginal untampered Potter!

[Say:Eish]

anyone kno what the 6th book's called and the release date? i love fred and george...made me want a twin.

[Wyzfen]

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince.

Dont know when it'll be released tho. Thats why i usually prefer waiting until a series is finished before reading - no waiting time :P

[Say:Eish]

s'good idea but then i'd end up hearing the story by accident - can't believe theres only one more book to go.
It's like i'v watched the little blighter grow up before my very eyes!

[beergal]

nah i think there is 2 books to go, um gonna have to go check JKs site to confirm, probably gonna be a long delat with her now being keithy cheggers (cockney slang for preggers!)

You can get a Muggle shirt on Hot Topic's website. Don't have it offhand but just google it. And House shirts too, and I have a pretty spiffy Chamber of Secrets one from there... SO sexy.

LOVE Harry Potter!!! I study Arabic, so I spent way too much money to order Philosopher's Stone from a bookstore in Abu Dahbi in Arabic. My professor thinks I am nuts... I can totally understand typing the whole thing to have it on disk.

Prisoner of Azkaban came out while I was in Morocco, so the second I got to the UK, I put my stuff in the hostel and asked directions to the nearest cinema. And watched it twice in a row.

[beergal]

bookstore in Abu Dahbi in Arabic.

heh my uncle and aunt live in abu dhabi im off there next easter i think i will get the potter books just to add to my collection

the reason i started this thread was cos of hot topic im not buying from the states cos its an absolute rip off with tax and customs (i live in england)

heh molson baby any luck finding a warners store in london

[MolsonGirl]

Found the store... finding the time to get to London, and whether they have the shirts is another question though.

[beergal]

ok where abouts is it? might make the trip down myself this week
