I am into reading but not much now like I used to. When I was little I had a brilliant mind and could make up stories and loved reading. I still have a brilliant mind now though! I feel like I want to share all my ideas! You can help me!Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02305216663591446183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11122839.post-1121838071145796072005-07-20T05:41:00.000+00:002005-07-20T05:41:00.000+00:00firecat, the link to your blog doesn't work.

It's modern because it's set in the modern world of today ... well ... in a world parallel to ours. <BR/><BR/>I would have said the books were magical and brought out child-like whoops in me at one stage ... but not really any more. As the series has continued it has got a lot darker as the dark lord voldermort gradually takes over the world. <BR/><BR/>Katie: Harry is fabulous!

E.g. "I illegally downloaded a copy of this book, your honour, because no accessible one was available." I think publishers would sit up and take notice then.<BR/><BR/>I remember David Blunkett had Harry Potter as his specialist subject on Mastermind. I wonder if this is because so few other books are available, even in Braille.James Medhursthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15953493585646108206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11122839.post-1121811592791047652005-07-19T22:19:00.000+00:002005-07-19T22:19:00.000+00:00Hi Damon, that's what I meant that you a scanned v...Hi Damon, that's what I meant that you a scanned version of the book, I wasn't paying attention fully to your post I don't think, but apologies I hope!<BR/><BR/>I didn't know you're into Harry Potter, do you like any other books? <BR/>Have fun reading!Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02305216663591446183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11122839.post-1121780709090506952005-07-19T13:45:00.000+00:002005-07-19T13:45:00.000+00:00You are yet another adult I know who loves HP - I ...You are yet another adult I know who loves HP - I haven't got round to reading it, but the more adults I know read it, the more tempted I am to give it a try.

I scanned it. But scanning is difficult and time consuming and often doesn't work very well. So I was very pleased when someone sent me a fully scanned version so I didn't have to scan any more. <BR/><BR/>Can't wait for book 7. Apparently JK has already started writing it.Damonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04921295141019123629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11122839.post-1121711995227419452005-07-18T18:39:00.000+00:002005-07-18T18:39:00.000+00:00Hi Damon, Glad to know that you finished reading a...Hi Damon, Glad to know that you finished reading a braille version of Harry Potter and someone emailed you the scanned book.<BR/> I know how you mean that books should be brailled for blind and partially sighted people, Well i am all for inclusion in this world!<BR/> I also went to the Right to read charter and signed it, so did my friends too.Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02305216663591446183noreply@blogger.com
