Harry Potter

[Neo_Keo]

What do you guys think of the Harry Potter storyline but thats not important but what is important is that a TCG is coming out for it and I think if its any good it might be the nest mania. The book is quite good but something else for WoTC to make money out of another mania is ridiculas ( bt I realy couldn't blame them their probably in the business for the money any ways)

oh well when will it end

 

[FoundationOfRancor]

But I really enjoy the harry potter books. There funny! The 4th one was kinda intense though....



I was scared

 

[theorgg]

I really can't wait for the cardgame.

Even if it's not a great game, I'll still try to get some of my favorite characters and spells...

Riddikulis!

and of course Hogarth. or hagarth...
the big giant with an umbrella wand.

I really like the potter stories, personally. I enjoy their fantacy and irrelivance.

Almost as good as Terry Pratchett's stuff...

 

[caesar]

Can't Wait for either. The TCG or the RPG. Their both going to be great games.
Orgg: I belive the name your thinking of is Hagrid.
The storylines are great anyone who hasn't read one should rush out and buy books 1-4.

 

[Duel]

Book 1: Good book! I really enjyed it!

Book 2: eh. It was fine. A little plot-weary.

Book 3: never mind

book 4: good characters, decent plot. Not all that great wording. Still worthwhile.

Overall: Tolkien for 10-year-olds.

 

[Neo_Keo]

Hey does anybody here remember that G.I. Joe villian who looked like a snake of some sort. He was always wearing that mask except we got to see it in the movie. I could actualy picture him looking like that.

Do you guys think they'll actualy make a movie of each book.

Book 4 I think was much more entertaining then the others.

[Duel]

You mean the cobra guy?

 

[caesar]

Duel: You really think 'Tolkein for ten year olds'. I know so many adults who love the books. In fact most of the adults are parents who won't let their kids read them till they do.

 

[Duel]

Whoa, there. I didn't say it was bad. Niether did I say adults don't enjoy it. What I meant by that was that it was a classic fantasy bit, but that it was toned down, and the language is seriously toned down, to the point where it is written for someone on the ten-year-old level.

Now, as long as nobody accuses tolkien of writing for ten-year-olds....

 

[caesar]

I'm not saying your saying its bad. I think its just written for all different levels. I wouldn't just chain it down to one level like that.

[Duel]

Well, I think the author dumbed down the wording to appeal to little kids. It had the potential to be fantastic. Now it's merely good.

 

[caesar]

Okay, ya got me there. I think it wouldn't sold as much or as fast if she geared it torward a higher level, but like you said it would have been fantastic. But enough of that, are you going play the TCG, RPG, or neither?

 

[Duel]

In agree, it wouldn't have sold as well.

I like both, but I think that a tcg would be too restrictive (star wars-esque) and RPG wouldn't be good in any context but a ocmputer game. I hope they build a character-assembly RPG. Where you can make your own wizard. That'd be nice.

 

[caesar]

If I remember correctly, they said you could any character from the book or create your own. Also I think its tabletop. You can check for yourself at the wizards website ( http://www.wizards.com/ ), just search for Harry Potter and it'll bring you directly to the news release.

 

[Multani]

I frankly don't know why it's sooo good.
It's too short. It's childish.
However, it's getting people to read. For that, I'm thankful.
Now Tom Clancy is another story...

 

[nanokill]

i love the books(u are right foundationofRancor) the fourth was intense, and also i have to side with the orgg even if it isn't a great game i would still like to use favorite characters like Sirus, harry , dumbledore and hagrid. spells suckh as ridiculus and avada kedavra





(when is it coming out)

 

[The Kuzya]

I have to totally agree with Multani. I couldnt of said it better myself. Has anyone ever read "In the Name of the Father" by A.J. Quinnell (however u spell it) That has got to be one of the best books i ever read. Or maybe its just me and my fondness of violence. I dunno.

BB-Remove Creature attached to Voldemort from the Game: Voldemort goes under your control, and has power and toughness equal to the number of Power counters on him.
While Voldemoert is attached to a creature, each upkeep, put a power counter on him

[Almindhra]

Aren't the Potter books fantasy for kids?...I would never read it, but I couldn't believe when my 18 yr old friend said he loved the books...After he told me a little bit about them, I suggested reading real fantasy...Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan...I suggest those books for all of you who read Potter...

 

[Spiderman]

Well, I'd read them, they sound pretty neat and I'm always willing to give something a try once. 'Real fantasy'? I think that just having spells makes it qualified; you don't need a full-blown world with 'different' races to make it fantasy. It's certainly not real life...
