Title: Harry Potter
Post by: Square Ball on July 15, 2007, 08:59:15 PM
Anyone into this?

Think its brilliant that it has introduced a lot of people to reading, and the hype surrounding the release of the new book is mounting, its costing over 10 million to guard the book prior to its release.

never actually read the books but they are all in the house, any devotees out there counting down the days until its release?

Have never read the books, but the films are simply stunning. Looking forward to this one, and might venture to the pictures to see it this week!

Probably heading to it tomorrow night with the kids - they love both books and films, and they're great for their imaginations.

No its not shown in 3-D here. Only in iMax theatres, dont think there is any in Ireland. The 3-D only lasts for about 25 minutes in the action part of the film towards the end anyway!

'Harry Potter' publisher gets subpoena to identify pirate
From Bloomberg News
July 17, 2007


Scholastic Corp., publisher of the new "Harry Potter" book, obtained a subpoena to learn the identity of a user who allegedly posted copies of the final sequel, scheduled for release Saturday, on a California website.

Scholastic said in a court filing Monday that "materials hosted on Photobucket.com's system" contain materials that infringe copyrights owned by Scholastic and J.K. Rowling, author of the Harry Potter books. Photobucket.com, a News Corp. unit, is a website for sharing photos and videos on social networks such as MySpace.

The subpoena was sent to Gaia Interactive Inc. in San Jose seeking the identity of a user on gaiaonline.com, a social network, according to the filing in San Francisco federal court.

Gaia complied with the subpoena, removed the material and temporarily banned the user from the site, said Gaia spokesman Bill Danon. The postings included scanned material and a discussion of the material, he said.

I got a severe slagging when I said I've never read any of the books or watched any of the films.  I must be in a tiny minority that isn't into a reading about a little wizard looking for stones and the lord of some rings.

never read any of the books as i never have time but I have seen all the films so far. was very disappointed with the 5th film, it seemed to be all over the place. have since learned that a lot of the book was left out of the film.
