I have read The Thief, was a really great story.
The Harry Potter movies fail epicly when it comes to the books. They only manage to get very basic storyline. Which is sad considering the main plot is not the only part that makes up Harry Potter. I mean, who couldnt forget S.P.E.W. ? Or think thats the acronym! You miss all the fun that the Harry Potter universe has to offer if you only watch the movies. So if you only watch the movies, shame on you! I suggest you pick up the first book and start reading
Well I just finished Fresh Kills and have just started reading The Black Hole.
