I try, very hard, not to read fanfics. So my only option is re-reading Book 1 thru Book5, than repeat.

June is but 5 months away. Thank goodness :wink: .

Have you seen these awesome fan arts by Marta? Some art works were based on fanfics.

Yeah... I'm torn. I really feel that the (real) books have gotten progressively worse the past few volumes. That last one... <shudder>.

I mean, I know *I* was a whiny teenager, but that doesn't mean I want to read about other teenagers being whiny.

I know what you mean. But I do like The 5th book. Yup, full of anger and gripe. But the depiction of 15-year-old was very real. I thought *I* was taking the damn GCSE again!

By the way, just want to make sure, the "real" Harry Potter series is not available in any ebook format, is it? I looked and looked often. I would love to have them in my PPC at all time. I like to beat young kids in answering Harry Potter trivia questions :lol:

The fan fiction stuff is "open to the public" isn't it? I thought that these works were released immidiately into the public domain?

Don't bank on it - I read somewhere that the authours lawyer at one time threatened to hit not only the illegally scanned books but also the fan-fic books.

After my above message, I re-checked and found that Rowling apparently had nothing against the fan-fic stuff: http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20030618/098248.shtml

This page discuss the legality in general: http://www.chillingeffects.org/fanfic/

UPDATE: as does this one http://www.schrag.info/tushnet/law/fanficarticle.html

I thought that poster was referring to the original books. If not, my mistake.

Now that we got over all of the moderator's legal interjections Can we get back to the point please.
If anybody know any updated information about Harrwriter's FanFic Book 7, PLEASE let us know. The last time Harrywriter's website (hpfanfiction.net) was up and running Book 7 was 69% completed.

Thank You!
