once again, what can i say, googled it. was looking for info/rumours anything about when book 6 as it was then (not HBP), was being released if it had been written whatever, and i got the rumours section in the search. i actually think i just read the discussions for like ages before i actually starting posting.

really BaO owes alot to google.

i was searching for an english hp forum and found this forum.
i read the books in english and in the dutch version they changed a lot of the names so when i joined a dutch forum i was constantly asking who is that or who is this and after 50 times of asking who is marcel lubbermans ... you get the idea

it's been so long I can't remember now, but surely I must've found it via Google as well. But what got me to join here vs any other similar forums is I liked the well thought out discussion that occured here -- what I mean is, as I lurked through several different websites with forums like this, many of the other forums didn't have such well-versed open dialogue like we all have here. Other forums seemed to have a lot of petty, youthlike behavior, whereas here, there was a good mix of fun, but no pettiness, and plenty of good thorough discussion. When I say good discussion I mean delving between the lines in the books -- reading it so in depth that we're discussing more than just what is face value in the books. I like that.

Well it's a short and not very interesting story. My site is down- I googled 'Harry Potter Forums', hit 'I'm feeling lucky' and here I am.
