I might just read it, who knows. I have never set too much score by omens, because I have experienced quite false omens too. In general though, I've found when I get my hopes high too much for something, I always end up getting disappointed. So, I've kinda stopped worrying so much about these things. You work hard, and hope for the best. If it is meant to be, it will happen. If it doesn't work, then it probably wasn't meant to be. 😃

I haven't watched OSO... So, you say that the dialogue stands out... it is obviously a direct rip-off from the book; but does the dialogue not substantiate the story of OSO??

@Bold, blue: I agree! 😃

That is the right attitude... Somehow, if you are younger and you read this book, you start expecting wonderful things to happen. (Our Pinki is an apt example. Almost all of us read the book with a cynical spirit, but seeing how inspired Pinki was, we all tended to mute our criticism...) 😆

😆😆😆 I am incapable of reading anything with cynical spirit. I guess I am easily pleased, hence I'm stuck on children stories. However, they have their own magic about it. I guess we should know the difference between fiction and reality.

I noticed you did not like Book 5 and Book 7 of the HP series, and I realized that Order of the Pheonix happens to be Book 5. Though, I am loving the experience of reading it for the 100th time (it's an exaggerated number, of course, but I have read it more than 20 times for certain). 😆😆

Smita ji, it's wonderful to see you here. 🤗🤗🤗

I've enjoyed all your posts and discussions. 😃😃 If you did not pose those interesting questions, I doubt we could have managed all the wonderful discussions that followed.

Oh, I can talk to a log if I want to, so it is easy for me to discuss the book. 😆😆😆

p.s. I should admit that I have not read the book yet, but I got the idea from all the wodnerful analyses and posts about the book. 😳😃😃

I didn't actually like book 5 at all... Sirius Black dies in it, and the book is based on a rather flimsy premise... Why go through all the trouble to get hold of a prophesy... Whatever it is, is meant to happen... EVEN I know that, so I couldn't help but wonder how silly the Dark Lord really is to commission such a futile chase...

Besides I think JKR really stretched it too far... The story could've been told in fewer books... 😃
