If you want to build a profitable ecommerce business that stands the test of time, you need to register your own domain and start your own web site. Most people who aren’t tech savvy often question their own abilities and end up relying on 3rd party marketplaces like Ebay to implement their website store for them. Here’s why that’s a bad idea. Ebay Doesn’t Have Your Interests In Mind Ebay, like most publicly traded companies, is primarily concerned with their own growth and stock price. They don’t care whether you are successful, nor do they care whether you provide a genuine service to the community. They’ll do whatever it takes to demonstrate growth and make shareholders happy. What this means is that you are always at their mercy. ![]() ![]() They can switch up the rules whenever they want and drastically affect your sales. They can also ban your sellers account at any time. Over the years, Ebay has made dramatic changes that have put many sellers out of business. As a slave to their platform, you can never be complacent and they continue to raise prices to appease Wall Street. Let’s take a quick peek at Ebay’s selling fees in the table below. ![]() Basic fees for auction-style and fixed price listings Insertion fee (per listing) Final value fee (per item) Your first 50 listings (per month) Free 10% of the total amount of the sale All additional listings over 50 (per month) $0.30 All your listings appropriate for and listed in the Musical Instruments & Gear > Guitars & Basses category Free 3.5% of the total amount of the sale In addition to the final value fees listed above, Ebay also likes to nickel and dime you with listing fees as shown in the table below. In any case, here’s how much Ebay charges for store membership fees. Note: The difference in plans comes down to how many listings you plan on having in your shop and whether you need dedicated customer support. Ebay shops also get a slight discount on the final value fees Subscription fees Store type Monthly subscription fee Yearly subscription fee Basic $24.95 per month $19.95 per month Premium $74.95 per month $59.95 per month Anchor $349.95 per month $299.95 per month As you can probably tell, Ebay’s listing and selling fees start to add up to a lot of money! Ebay Stores Don’t Provide Design Flexibility Unless you feel like paying hundreds of dollars a month, Ebay greatly limits what you can do with your storefront. They try to bundle their stores with design tools to add value, but most or all of these tools are available on the web for free already thanks to companies like Google. To give you an idea of how restrictive an Ebay store can be, the “Anchor” membership which costs $300 a month, allows you to build a handful of custom webpages. And the design of these pages is very canned. Here’s a what a page looks like. In this day and age, $300/month is an egregious amount to be paying for a simple website builder. Meanwhile, you can build unlimited pages on your own website that you host yourself. Ebay Shoppers are Inherently Cheap When I shop on Ebay, I look for bargains. Especially since most of the stores on Ebay are mom and pop shops or individuals working out of their home, people generally expect to pay less for their merchandise versus a real store. What this means is that you will rarely get top dollar for your items. Because you are limited by what Ebay allows you to do with your store design, the only way to differentiate yourself is to lower your prices which will cut into your margins. In general, the Ebay marketplace is extremely competitive, cut throat and hard to break into. You Can Not Build A Brand On Ebay Because Ebay is a closed platform, you do not have access to your customer base nor can you sell to your customers outside of Ebay. As a result, it’s extremely difficult to attract repeat business. After all, you can not collect emails and you are not allowed to contact customers after a sale has been made. In other words, you have to constantly fight for new customers and you will never build a loyal customer base. The other problem is that shoppers who buy on Ebay believe that they are buying from individuals or small business owners selling goods out of their garage. As a result, it’s almost impossible to build a reputable brand. If you want to start a long term ecommerce business, then Ebay is the absolute wrong place to do it. What Ebay Is Good For Even though Ebay is not a good long term home for your ecommerce business, there are some benefits to selling on their platform. First off, the Ebay marketplace is fairly large so there’s already a built in community of avid buyers to tap into. As a result, selling on Ebay is a great way to validate your product before you go all in. By selling new items on Ebay first, you can quickly test the market to determine whether you should move forward with a bulk order. Ebay is also a great place to liquidate your old junk or products that have been gathering dust in your warehouse. To perform product research and validation on Ebay, I like to use a tool called. Terapeak scrapes all of the completed listings on Ebay and tells you what products are hot. Related: If you are interested in learning how to sell online,. I will walk you through the process of finding a product to sell and how to make your first sales online. Making Money Selling Online In the long run, it always pays to own your own platform. After all, when you own your own business, you call all of the shots. No one can raise prices on you. No one can change their selling policies on you No one can ban you from your own platform The most compelling reason to start your own online store is that it allows you to own your customer base. After all, a customer who has purchased from you once is many times more likely to buy from you again. You can gather emails. You can differentiate yourself from the competition with your own design. You can establish a brand. The biggest hurdle most people have when building their own store is the fear of the unknown. But these days, there are many simple and inexpensive ways to build your own shopping cart. How To Open Your Own Shop For example, there are many shopping cart software packages already written for you. Here are some choices. • •, which is a fully hosted shopping cart solution that will do pretty much everything for you for a small monthly fee. They offer a free trial • which is like Shopify but is more powerful from a feature standpoint. Whatever you decide, stay away from Ebay Stores. As far as I’m concerned, Ebay is only good for getting rid of unwanted items through their auctions. Related: If you are interested in learning how to start your own online store,. I will walk you through the process of finding a product to sell and how to make your first sales online. I totally agree this moron is writing an article about how crappy eBay is but yet he’s telling us to do free websites which is all good and dandy but I guarantee you you can’t get traffic like eBay. Who cares if you make charges A fee it’s called you gotta spend money to make money doing your own website is a pain in the ass. The simple fact is the traffic is so hard to get and the way Google keeps changing their algorithms will never be able to be good at getting traffic unless you have a lot of money to spend a lot of time to be able to work on your website. Yes eBay is not the best but it is much better than doing your own website unless you’re very experienced you know how to get traffic he know what needs to be done and you can spend a lot of time on your business. Also what this guy is telling you about Mom and Pop stores and people that work at home he is 100% wrong. I’ve seen many stores sell high-quality equipment so unless he’s living in 1980 before the internet very popular he is wrong. I mean I understand why he doesn’t like eBay a lot of stuff on there makes it seem not worth doing but when you think about how much it cost to do traffic yourself you’re going to realize eBay Amazon third-party apps are the way to go. I would take this article with a grain of salt since the success of an E-Bay seller really depends on several different factors. Location, sourcing of items at the right price and quality of listings I think are the three most important factors that will be determine the outcome of your success for most individuals. Now, fees are part of any business – whether you pay E-Bay or a hosting company on your own website – fees are a harsh reality of creating your own business. Many people like myself would much rather focus on sourcing and taking care of the actual sales process than spending time, money and effort trying to drive customers to your site. For a one person operation (like me) it makes perfect sense to pay 10%-15% in fees as long as I can have a decent profit margin it is well worth having an E-Bay store for the present and for the future. Sorry, but I disagree strongly with your logic (and no, I’m not a current Ebay store owner). You say that Ebay/Paypal are “ripping you off” by taking 11-15% of your revenue, but in fact in any business, especially the very crowded ecommerce space, as much as 20% cost-of-sales is very reasonable. Remember, Ebay gives you access to a huge potential customer pool and although most of them are looking for a bargain, if you have the right mixture of goods at reasonable prices (which you should have in ANY business), the financial logistics are actually very good. The option that’s offered in this advertorial (for that’s what it is) doesn’t account for the high cost and lengthy time cycle of driving traffic to your own ecommerce website. Is the author really saying that the thousands of people who currently operate Ebay stores are misguided and could do better on their own? Proof please? And I don’t mean one or two anecdotal instances where “my sister’s brother-in-law made a million dollars last year” but actual evidence from a reputable source that promotes the business case that you’re suggesting. I think a moch more solid strategy would be to open your own ecommerce store in tandem with an Ebay store so that as you begin to grow your customer base, you can educate them about your alternate sales channels. Im always amazed how people like to explain how this is bad or that, didnt you do any research have any business experience, you think ebay is bad, have a idiot post a false comment on a google review or yelp etc on a standing store, it can be devistating,. Its all the same you cant get away from it reviews and reviews its the future. And to the guy above with his 5 percent profit margin, try having a store, insurance business lic, etc plus pay employees, workmans. Comp, power should i go on, ebay dosent sound that bad now. Ebay is a good start and the big successful people on there have a web sight, and a store. Sorry life isnt easy so study your market, your customers /demographics and keep positive people around you, if it was easy everyone would do it. Go for it, for every person having a issue,theres 100s that do well that goes for any business. Start small stay focused and grow as you get sales, but always have a growth plan, it isnt dreaming its called being positive and diaciplined. But hey thats jus my opinion lol. I have tried both eBay and Amazon. Steve is absolutely right when he says eBay Shoppers are Inherently Cheap. By the time I lowered prices to where the items would sell and then paid the final value fees, monthly store fees, and various other fees. It just wasn’t worth my time. Amazon is somewhat better. But their business model of allowing everyone else to pile onto your listing is a horrible idea. Everyone spends all day hanging in their Amazon account. Lowering prices a penny or two on each item so they can get the Buy Box. It’s ridiculous. Who has that kind of time? For the price of all the fees. You can buy some Google advertising. Run your own websites and keep ALL of the profit for yourself. LATEST REVELATIONS FROM FORMER EBAY INSIDER: When eBay randomly lowers the search standings of sellers items, or hides them completely, they do this due to supply and demand. With the World economy in the state it has been in since the financial decline of 2007, there are too many sellers and not enough buyers. So the corrupt Ivy League brains at eBay came up with a strategy. Encourage sellers to post, while secretly lowering their search standings and hiding their listings. Just enough to bring in a montly amount of sales to make it appear worth while. Countless sellers have stated on various message boards that they noticed a “cap” in their monthly sales. That no matter how much effort and time they put into their postings, they could not surpass a certain amount of sales per month. This was and is eBay lowering search standings and/or hiding sellers listings at random, so new sellers can sell their goods. And/or so large sellers (including those from China) can sell theirs. This is also known as “Throttling” which is against FTC (Federal Trade Commission) Laws. ATT was just fined 100 million dollars last year for illegal throttling it’s customers. -It’s been proven and documented. As they say “Numbers don’t lie.” We documented our monthly sales via eBay’s Sellers Dashboard and then proceeded to ramp up our monthly postings into the thousands. It made no difference. EBay customer service whined on the phone and admitted our search standings were lowered or hidden (although we still had to pay fees), that “other sellers had to have a chance to sell their items too.” Our main issue is we were presented with a fraudulent Selling Limit of 30K per month. We were capped at 3K to 4K each month. No matter what we did. How much we invested. Evidently ( by countless accounts, including internally at eBay), the eBay “Bots” the automated, metric-centric virus eBay created and introduced into their system(s) randomly targets small to mid-size sellers. This is so the executives can deny culpability. January 16 at 1:17pm They can deny it because the “Bots” are doing the damage, not management. They point the fingers at what they unleashed. Blatant fraud as all of this was reported to eBay and they did nothing. I think it is very difficult for Sellers to wrap their minds around all of this. And they tend to project their morals and ethics on to strangers. They can’t imagine executives actually being engaged in this kind of criminal activity. This is also why the Banks and Wall St. Were bailed out by the American people, and why they continue to asset strip the U.S. And in Washington D.C. This IS an all-out war on the middle and lower classes.” (FORMER EBAY INSIDER, confidential informant). I am on eBay and have my own website. Ebay costs but it is virtually a no hassle with high fees. The easiest part of a website is building it. The hardest part is getting people to find your website. Search engine optimization (SEO) is the mothod of doing that. You really dan’t do it your self. It could cost up to $5000,00 to have your site show up on google and other sites. And it takes a long time especially if you are in a highly competative business. Type in some key words that describes what you do such as “garden tools” in a search engine and see how many business you have to climb over to get close to the top. We also had an ebay shop for over two years, at the beginning business was good and we had a steady increase in sales, then wham all of a sudden our sales dropped by over 30% in one month!!! Now we agree that ebay fee’s are a tad high but we’re sure we were capped and we asked ebay if they did this, but they denied it. We no longer have an ebay shop as it’s just not cost worthy but we do still use them for special offers we have from time to time. Luckily our website does ok and were not reliant on sales from ebay but we know many are and it’s always the little guy who gets f****d up by them. Shame really as ebay started out as a great selling platform, now its all about how much they can make from us sellers. Ok rant over. How do you get $6 out of 8% of $100? Last time I looked, it was $6. And, $36 being 4% of $1000? I thought it was $40. Your claim regarding fees on PayPal is as truthful as Donald Trump. We just sold an item for which we received $143.98. Our fee was 3.1%. It has NEVER even been more than 5%, if it was more than the 3.1%. Maybe it’s your bad math that caused your problems more than ebay’s fees. Yes, it costs to use ebay. It costs to host a website, too. But, I don’t want to be bothered with the set up or the calculations. I can also ship internationally through ebay without having to actually do the shipping myself. Ebay takes care of that through their global shipping service at no cost to me. I just make sure the item is received by them to forward to the international customer. Your claims about ebay’s fees are not just misleading – they are fabricated!! I must disagree. I started my business on Ebay, then slowly build my online store. This gave me a chance to understand which products are more popular, which ones aren’t. I have an Excel table to calculate my prices and the prices on Ebay are higher than the prices on my online store, to make up for the percentage they take. Here in Australia, if you have a store ($45/month), their percentage is 7% on top of the final value (postage included), then the Paypal fee, which I also pay on most items sold at my own store. So 7% per sale + the $45/month store fee. It is not cheap, but in my view it is worth it. Ebay does A LOT of advertising. My products often get seen o Google searches because of Ebay. There is sooo much traffic, you will never get so many people to see your logo, even if you spend thousands on Google ads or any other ads. You just have to be clever on Ebay. The pictures I have on my Ebay listings are all from my website (links to my website from a very reputable site with a lot of views means my website gets higher on searches too). Often people find us on Ebay, go searching on Google, find my website, notice that the products are cheaper and buy direct from us. I sell a lot of cheap, small items on Ebay such as travelling locks, breathalyzers, earplugs, hi-vis vests, etc. With each item, I normally send a flyer with my online store details, sometimes a $10 voucher, so this way I am promoting the store. And with each sale, you get another client for your mailing list, because you get the person’s email. Yes, I know, we shouldn’t spam, but you can send a nice message asking if they are happy with their purchase or thanking for a positive feedback, add a $10 voucher to your store and inform that once a month (never more often) you will send a newsletter. Make it interesting and very easy to opt out and you won’t have an issue. This is at best an attention-grabbing piece to generate readership, and at worst a reckless scare-tactic post based on little substance. Here’s the thing. You’re probably right about ebay not being a good platform for certain types of sellers, but how could you reasonably assume that an eBay store would be a bad for ALL sellers and ALL businesses? That’s utter rubbish. There are many situations where an eBay store would not only be beneficial for sellers, but borderline necessary in order to succeed. Your argument holds no water. If there’s one thing you should have learned by now it’s that business is never black and white, but various shades of gray which are highly dependent on the an individual’s specific circumstances. Perhaps you are the one who needs to take a course on this particular lesson instead of spewing misinformation for your own gain. I sell $14k-$18k a month on eBay. My profit margin after Fees, shipping, COGS and taxes, is somewhere north of 30%. I sell toys/action figures out of my house. No overhead, pick my hours, have a ton repeat customers, I straight list in a t-shirt and slippers. Sometimes i’ll even rip a joint before listing. Point is, if you use common sense and sell stuff that people use or collect, you can kill it on eBay and be YOUR OWN BOSS. As far as Shopify ect. Don’t have experience on those but I would take a guess and say unless your Instagram is on point and Facebooking to death, you just can’t touch eBays traffic. Your info about eBay fees is outdated and simply incorrect. With basic subscription, you can list up to 250 fixed price listings and up to 250 auctions per month with NO insertion fees. Furthermore, final value fee with a basic store is 9% max (and 10% without the store subscription). The basic store monthly fee is roughly $20 or even less when they run promotions of $5 a month for 3 months like they do now. You are being silent about certain store features that boost sales, such as Markdown Manager. When you drop your item price, it’s being displayed with an old price crossed over, so that buyers think they get a bargain. And I am sure a few more features. Not everything is so bad about an eBay store. Ebay is flawed, ruthless and unethical. From a seller viewpoint, they know the marketplace lacks competition, so they do whatever they want. Raise fees, lower profit for sellers and side with buyers and ridiculous claims. Almost every comment here that sides with ebay says the truth – ebay provides a name and traffic to sell your goods. They know this and like I said, they know there is no competing website, so they take advantage of every seller on the site. My main gripe is the poor handling of customer issues. Thankfully I have had minimal customers complain – but holy smokes when they do, even if the customer lies, ebay will side with them. At the end of the day, you have to look at your costs. Can you start your own site and do it cost effectively, or do you need to use ebay? Once you figure out the answer, go get some lube and let ebay bend you over. If you have the eBay store, you work for eBay. If you use the Free listings, eBay works for you. As Mark Cuban once said; eBay giveth, eBay can take it away. One policy change & you’ll be the one left holding the bag. If you want it done right, do it yourself. EBay is a selfish trickster with no morals. EBay will have you banging you head against the wall. For a company that holds No Inventory, they sure will be generous with yours. Leave the Negativity at Bay, eBay that is. Talk to Father Google not mother eBay if you want success with out the headache.

Condition: As New. ![]() Epoxy is a term used to denote both the basic components and the cured end products of epoxy resins, as well as a colloquial name for the epoxide functional group. Epoxy resin are a class of thermoset materials used extensively in structural and specialty composite applications because they offer a unique combination of properties that are unattainable with other thermoset resins. Epoxies are monomers or prepolymers that further reacts with curing agents to yield high performance thermosetting plastics. They have gained wide acceptance in protecting coatings, electrical and structural applications because of their exceptional combination of properties such as toughness, adhesion, chemical resistance and superior electrical properties. Epoxy resins are characterized by the presence of a three membered cycle ether group commonly referred to as an epoxy group 1,2-epoxide, or oxirane. The most widely used epoxy resins are diglycidyl ethers of bisphenol-A derived from bisphenol-A and epichlorohydrin. The market of epoxy resins are growing day by day. Today the total business of this product is more than 100 crores. Epoxy resins are used for about 75% of wind blades currently produced worldwide, while polyester resins account for the remaining 25%. A standard 1.5-MW (megawatt) wind turbine has approximately 10 tonnes of epoxy in its blades. Traditionally, the markets for epoxy resins have been driven by demand generated primarily in areas of adhesives, building and civil construction, electrical insulation, printed circuit boards, and protective coatings for consumer durables, amongst others. The major contents of the book are synthesis and characteristics of epoxy resin, manufacture of epoxy resins, epoxide curing reactions, the dynamic mechanical properties of epoxy resins, physical and chemical properties of epoxy resins, epoxy resin adhesives, epoxy resin coatings, epoxy coating give into water, electrical and electronic applications, analysis of epoxides and epoxy resins and the toxicology of epoxy resins. It will be a standard reference book for professionals and entrepreneurs. Those who are interested in this field can find the complete information from manufacture to final uses of epoxy resin.

Their use ranges from matrix in high performance composite materials for aerospace structures, to organic coatings and common adhesives for domestic applications. Many researchers have been done on the polyester resins, due to its versatile applications. Some of these researches investigated the mechanical properties of the polyester resins, such as tensile strength, impact resistance compression strength and others, and few of them have been done on the epoxy resins, although the epoxy has different types, easy in use and high mechanical properties. The key goal of this research consists of providing numerical and experimental tools able to predict the mechanical behavior of such two common type of resin are polyester and epoxy resin, which are being increasingly employed in the engineering practice, to select the proper mechanical properties between them. A finite element simulation model can be extended to apply for the tensile test of resin specimens and Study of the mechanical behavior and compare between the numerical results from a finite element simulation model and another one from experimental verification 72 pp. Seller Inventory # 390| 4.

Don’t think I don’t know how this might end. ![]() I’ve known it for years.” — Harry Potter Most seventeen-year olds don’t view the possibility of an early death as being, well, possible. But then again, most seventeen-year olds haven’t come face-to-face with death almost half a dozen times before their first kiss either. In Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, the seventh and final installment of the ridiculously popular Harry Potter series, J.K. Rowl “I’m going to keep going until I succeed — or die. Don’t think I don’t know how this might end. I’ve known it for years.” — Harry Potter Most seventeen-year olds don’t view the possibility of an early death as being, well, possible. But then again, most seventeen-year olds haven’t come face-to-face with death almost half a dozen times before their first kiss either. In Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, the seventh and final installment of the ridiculously popular Harry Potter series, J.K. Rowling brilliantly ties up every loose end that she has planted over the last ten years since the very first outing of the series was published in 1997. Truly, Rowling has learned exactly what her fans want and subsequently delivers a book that answers every Potterhead’s questions — and then some. Not only does Deathly Hallows revisit key places and characters from all of the previous six books, but Rowling even manages to make clever references to previous bits of dialogue from her earlier books. Case in point: near the end of the first Potter book, after Hermione fails to see the magical solution to saving the trio from a nasty patch of Devil’s Snare, Harry’s best mate Ron bellows “HAVE YOU GONE MAD? ARE YOU A WITCH OR NOT?” Now, six years later, Hermione finally gets her revenge on her red-headed friend when Ron believes that all is lost until Hermione yells to him “Are you a wizard, or what?” thus reminding Ron to use his wand to solve their problem. Subtle references such as this are a large part of what makes Rowling’s books so enjoyable to re-read as there are always deeper meanings and additional allusions that are often only discovered via multiple read-throughs. Harry’s bold statement regarding his own potential death is also a prime example of how much Rowling truly wrote Harry’s last tale for her long-time fans. This line seems to read as a secret “shout-out” to the Potterites who have also known for years that the series might not end happily ever after. The prophecy in the fifth book revealed that “neither shall live while the other survives”, and therefore by the end of book seven either Harry or Voldemort had to die. Rowling cleverly fills her last installment with so many twists, turns and complications, however, that it becomes practically impossible to determine which way this book is going to end. More than any of the other Potter books, Deathly Hallows is a true quest narrative, with the trio spending the majority of the story hunting for horcruxes and hallows whilst evading capture by Voldemort’s Death Eaters. The multiple close-calls that all three main characters find themselves in throughout the book add to the tension that continues to build until the predictably bloody battle at the end of the tale. The book does, after all, chronicle a brutal war, so be prepared for a lot of killing and, consequently, a lot of tears. This is not to say that Deathly Hallows doesn’t offer up a great deal of laughs as well. The hilarious twins Fred and George Weasley make several appearances to ensure that the book isn’t all doom and gloom. By far, the funniest part of the story is the secret radio show Potterwatch, anonymously hosted by former Hogwarts Quidditch commentator Lee Jordan with special appearances from Fred, George, and ex-Defence Against the Dark Arts professor Remus Lupin. Rowling perfectly mixes this blend of humour, tragedy and adventure so that her epic-length novel never lags or drags. To write a 607 page book that millions of die-hard fans around the world are able to devour in less than 24 hours is no mean feat, but Rowling’s farewell to the Boy Who Lived is an incredibly gripping page-turner that will leave all Potter lovers immensely satisfied. It's hard for me to believe that I finished the Harry Potter series. I wish this series would go on forever! I don't know how I've gone through my life without these books. I regret not reading it when I was younger, but I am so happy that I finally did, better late than never, right? The world built in these books is so real and tangible, it is truly a masterpiece.

The characters are engaging and brilliant, and I love how the plot is so interwoven and twisted within itself, especially in this last book. I was taken by surprise when I started the series, I didn't think it would pull me in as it did. As I kept reading through the books, the characters slyly stole my heart. Now, having finished the last line, I am flooded with emotion. This series is more than a story or words on a page, it is magic. This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers.

This will contain spoilers (though since I'm writing this a year after the release I don't think it's too much of a tragedy), it will be long and it will be negative because I really didn't like this book. Reading books one to five I was very impressed with the storytelling from a novice novellist. There was magic, there were characters you could love, and sure there were some cliche'd storylines, but they were interspersed with really interesting sidestories (Peeves, SPEW, Weasley's Wizard Wheezes). I was enthralled as a teenager and I am enthralled now as an adult when I re-read them. But I have to say the the quality dropped markedly in books six and seven. The ramblings (that started out cute in GoF and OotP) have become pronounced and boring. The characters have lost much of what made them endearing, and the plot has gone to hell. Focusing on Deathly Hallows, I had a very strong feeling that six months before her deadline, JKR went on to the internet, discovered that everyone had guessed her 'twists' (honestly, who didn't know that Harry was an accidental Horcrux, RAB was Sirius's brother, the diadem was at Hogwarts, the locket was at Grimmauld Place, Dumbledore ordered Snape to kill him, Snape was in love with Lily and Ron would be a it and abandon Harry and Hermione?), and felt the need to come up with a new plot device. This would explain the incredible stupidity that is the deathly hallows and the plot holes and gaps in logic that involve them. Now, it has been a while since I read it so some of my names and such might be wrong, and if it does answer the questions in the book in such a round about way I apologise, but the Elder Wand does not make sense. I'm willing to accept that it follows it's own set of rules separate from those of other wands (where Haary can use Hermione's wand almost as well as his own and all of the disarming they did in book five didn't make their wands all change ownerships) but the course of events whereby Harry became the owner of the wand are just plain silly. If Grindelwald simply stole the wand from Gregorovich (sp?), how did that make him the wands owner? If the wand is unbeatable, how did Dumbledore defeat Grindelwald (I know Rita Skeeter theorised that Grindelwald surrended, but how does that pass the wand's ownership to Dumbledore. Surrender is not the same as defeat). And if the wand is unbeatable, why was Dumbledore unable to defeat Voldemort when they dueled on OotP? And also, is Harry really so conceited and stupid to think that no one would ever defeat or disarm him, making them the owner of the wand? Shouldn't he have broken it? If he does become an auror in later life someone is bound to disarm him eventually, and if they knew about the wand, they could easily steal it back from Dumbledore's tomb. The other major thing that ticked me off was the characterisation. Hermione, Harry and Ron have always been some of my favourite characters, but here they are acting completely different from previous books. Harry using Unforgivable curses without a hint of remorse, and not comforting Hermione when Ron takes off, instead staring at a 'Ginny-dot'. Can we say creepy and stalkerish? And Hermione, who for the most part was still loyal and brave and smart (loved the bottomless bag bit, and her being there for Harry at Godric's Hollow), was so pathetic when it came to Ron. I know love makes people do the wacky, but crying for days on end when they're supposed to be searching for Horcruxes, kissing him in the middle of the war because he finally showed a tiny inkling of care towards the house-elves. I mean, I love Ron, but you would have thought he could have grown up a little, just a smidgen. But no, running away because of the locket (one ring to rule them all.). Those who defend him saying it affected him more than Harry or Hermione because he had more insecurities is just dumb. Harry and Hermione had just as much to be insecure about. Harry, with his saving-people-thing, could easily have gone nuts with the locket around his neck and ran away from the others because he was terrified that they'd get killed. And Hermione has always been insecure, about being Muggle-born, about proving herself, about Ron and Harry and their friendships. Sure, he wanted to come back the moment he left, but he still left. Which I could accept were it not for such a stupid reason. And then he got his 'super-moment' which was so lame. Honestly, 'Ron can remember and copy paseltongue', uhuh. Wouldn't it have made much more sense to say, have Ginny come along, who could possibly still say the word from when she opened it under Tom's control in CoS. And then Ron mentioned the house-elves, to make himself 'worthy' (JKR's words, not mine) of Hermione. For one thing, why does he need to make himself 'worthy' since she already loved him for all his insensitivity and insecurity, and why did that 'worthiness' have to be something that Harry already had in abounds? Yes, I am a H/Hr shipper, but that is by no means the reason I hated this book (as you can see from above). If H/Hr had been handled as badly as R/Hr or H/G, I would have hated it. But the fact remains that the most romantic scenes in this book were between Harry and Hermione. At Grimmauld Place when Harry showed Hermione the picture, at the wedding where Hermione beamed at Harry, at Godric's Hollow where they strolled arm in arm under the kissing gate in the snow. While in canon, Harry married Ginny and Ron married Hermione, that will never convince me that they are the better couples. Harry and Hermione had the friendship, the trust, the alchemy. They were the most developed relationship in the series, and the fact that they didn't end up together in the book doesn't change that. The final things I feel like picking on - the epilogue came across as being written by a teenage fangirl. No depth, no meaning, just stupid-named kids. I get that JKR wanted Harry to end the book with the normal family life he never had, it could have been handled so much better. And seriously, Albus Severus? That poor kid must have been teased horribly. And why Severus? Sure, he turned out to be not evil, but for Harry to chance his mind about the man after seven years of abuse and ill treatment just because he was scamming on Lily. It's just gross. And unrealistic. I was so hoping there was more to Snape's story than twenty years of unrequited love. It may have been a sweet way for him to become not evil, but Lily was very, very dead for a very long time, and no one holds on that hard to love. If caring for her wasn't enough for him to stray away from the dark arts while she was alive, why was it enough when she was dead? Also, the invisibility cloak was supposed to be infallible, and yet Moody saw through it in OotP and Dementor's could see through it in PoA, supposedly. And, my god did the death scene's suck in this book. Yes, its a war so plenty of people, including main characters were going to die, but when I felt worse about Dobby than I did about Remus (who is one of my favourite characters) you just know that the author hasn't put enough emotion into it. He was the last of the Marauders, for god's sake, he deserved an on-page death at the very least. Maybe defending Harry or Tonks. Well, there ends the rant. There were a few good points in the novel (like Godric's Hollow, before the stupidity of Harry not realising that Bathilda was Nagini, and the awesomeness of Neville) but they were few and far between and do not at all make up for the rest of the drivel. Read it because it is the conclusion to a series that took seventeen years to write, but do not expect the fireworks that such a finale could have been. There's better fanfics out there.

It is not an in-depth analysis of the work in general, nor is it a review on any one particular installment. Harry Potter is a work of art. I got made fun of once¹ when I was out to dinner with some friends, because while we were discussing these books I made the mistake of referring to them as “literature.” I felt like I had to defend that assertion because, although the definition of literature is pretty broad, it seems like it should really only apply to works with some definable qualitative value or literary merit. In this case, my friends were wrong—Rowling explores themes and concepts in this series that I think are valuable to children and young adults who look to her characters for qualities they seek to emulate, and I believe her works will have lasting impact on this and future generations. I’ve heard it said before that everything you need to know you’ve learned in kindergarten. Well, that might be somewhat of an oversimplification, but I do think children or young adults who grow into this series, seeing Harry and his friends mature as they themselves mature, can glean some pretty important life lessons from it. They are impressionable human beings who are learning about themselves and are starting to make the choices that reflect the kinds of people they want to be. So what does Harry Potter teach them? Well, here is a bullet list of what it has taught me. And if you’re good, I’ll think about turning this into a PowerPoint presentation. Or maybe not. • The quality of your character is not a reflection of where you come from or who your parents are; rather, it is a reflection of the choices you make, so make them wisely. • The way you treat other people, especially those less fortunate than you, reveals your true colors more quickly and more completely than almost anything else you do. • It is a good thing to have dreams and ambitions, but that alone is not enough. You cannot expect success without effort. • It is far less important what your abilities are than what you actually do with them. Your abilities alone do not define you. • Nobody likes to fail, but to refuse an attempt at success on the grounds that you’re afraid to fail is failure in itself. Growing up is about figuring out who you are and coming to terms with your strengths and weaknesses, and it is about deciding how to utilize the strengths and mitigate the weaknesses in order to become a better person. It’s a lifelong struggle, but it starts early, and I think Harry Potter offers the tools to help achieve that. It can help young people find their way, and maybe that’s an oversimplification for a seven-volume series of novels, but that’s what I got out of it, and that’s why I will recommend this to my kids as they start to become ready for some life lessons of their own. ¹This is misleading; I’ve been made fun of countless, countless times. هذا ريفيو رواية هدفها الايمان بالخير، التغلب علي الشكوك وزعزعة الايمان وإيجاد القوة الذاتية للتتغير للحق رواية عن الصداقة والحب الذي قد يغلب اي انواع السحر.الظلم والقهر والعنصرية في كل جزء بالنسخ الأنجليزية تهدي المؤلفة الكتاب لاحد اقاربها أو معارفها ولكن بالجزء السابع ستفاجأ إنها مقسمة الاهداء الي 7 ، منهم إليك أنت شخصيا And to You, If You Have Stuck With Harry Until The Very End وأنا لم اكن فقط ملاصقا مع هاري منذ سبتمبر 2002 منذ قرأت أول كتب السلسلة. والتي كانت تجربة مختلفة تماما عن مشاهدة الفي هذا ريفيو رواية هدفها الايمان بالخير، التغلب علي الشكوك وزعزعة الايمان وإيجاد القوة الذاتية للتتغير للحق رواية عن الصداقة والحب الذي قد يغلب اي انواع السحر.الظلم والقهر والعنصرية في كل جزء بالنسخ الأنجليزية تهدي المؤلفة الكتاب لاحد اقاربها أو معارفها ولكن بالجزء السابع ستفاجأ إنها مقسمة الاهداء الي 7 ، منهم إليك أنت شخصيا And to You, If You Have Stuck With Harry Until The Very End وأنا لم اكن فقط ملاصقا مع هاري منذ سبتمبر 2002 منذ قرأت أول كتب السلسلة. والتي كانت تجربة مختلفة تماما عن مشاهدة الفيلم ، بل وحتي أبطالها -بدون مبالغة الأكثر حيوية من أي أبطال روايات قراءتها. برغم من أنها رواية خيالية إلا أن أحداثها مرتبطة جدا بعالمنا الحقيقي، وشخصياتها كلها ستشعر بنبضها وانت تقرأها- شعرت أن الأبطال اصدقائي بالفعل، وأني فعلا أعيش معهم في مدرسة تعليم السحر 'هوجوارتس'، والتي يمكن القول انها كانت بيتي الجديد ولكن دعني اؤجل حديثي حول تجربتي الرائعة مع ملحمة هاري بوتر ونتحدث هذه المرة عن هذا الجزء الذي بين أيدينا 'هاري بوتر ومقدسات الموت' الاحداث ***** قبل صدور الجزء الاخير ، لم أكن أتخيل كيف ستنهي المؤلفة كل الأحداث و المشاكل والمهمات التي تواجهه هاري ورون وهيرميوني. خاصا بعد وفاة دمبلدور كيف سيجدوا الأربع الهوروكركسس المتبقية التي تحتوي علي أشلاء من روح فولدمورت ، كيف سيتعرفون عليها من الاساس ، وهم وحدهم بدون مرشد أو دليل، وفي النهاية كيف سيتم تدميرها؟ ثم كيف سيقوم الأبطال بعد ذلك بمواجهة فولدمورت نفسه ؟ واتباعه من اكلي الموت و سناب الخائن الذي قتل دمبلدور؟ أعتقد إني -ولست وحدي- ظن أن النهاية ستكون إما متسرعة لإنهاء كل شئ ، أو ستظل بعض خطوط القصة لها نهايات مفتوحة ولكن لم يحدث هذا ، أتسع الكتاب لكل الأحداث المنتظرة. بل وأحداث جديدة وفكرة 'مقدسات الموت' التي أتت لإغلاق دائرة البحث عن القوة والخلود الذي يسعي له فولدمورت ،بجانب صراع الهوركروكس وفكرتها الرهيبة الاحداث قدمت لنا كل مانريد معرفته عن الابطال ، ولم تنس لمحات من الأحداث السابقة والاماكن من لم يتأثر بوداع هاري من ابن خالته 'ددلي' وتلك 'الختمة' الجميلة لتلك العلاقة 'الصعبة' بينهما سواء المؤثرة أو الكوميدية في بعض اجزائها ومن لم يتأثر من مشهد هاري وهو يتجول بهيدويج 'البومة الاليفة' في بيته في 4 برايفت درايف لآخر مرة. يلقي نظرة وداع علي حجرته القديمة تحت السلم. وهو يتذكر هذه الايام وكأنه يتذكر أخ اصغر له ضاع منه It felt most strange to stand here in the silence and know that he was about to leave the house for the last time.

If you Stuck With Harry Until The Very End. I've been stuck with Harry myself for 10 years now.when I first read the Arabic edition of the 1st book on Sep.2003. I felt how it's different than the movie,The characters more alive,forcing you to feel that they're your friends, like you're already living with them in the School of Witchcraft and Wizardry,it was like my other Home I finished the series in Arabic and start it in English 2 years ago,It was still fresh and as thrilling, emotional,great as ever. Here I'll try to stick to review that part of the series only,till I write more about the experince of living The Harry Potter Saga The Plot ******** Remember before book 7 release how were we been feeling? **Harry still got 4 Horcruxes to find -and even to know what it'll be- and even how to destroy it. **And then Fight the 7th Part of the shuttered soul.Voldemort himself, his Death Eaters and the traitor Snape. **How he can do all that without Dumbledore, Black and all of those he can't tell about his quest as Dumbledore ask him to not tell but to Ron and Hermione. We all thought it will be difficult to fit it all in one last volume,and to wrap up characters and events. But the amazing plot of that book didn't only fit for that all. And also add a new element 'The Deathly Hallows' and fit it perfectly into the full story. I can't believe how that book fit everything we're all been asking about since the very early beginning,and some of the facts that anyone wondered about like How the trace dedicate the underage magic, Why we can't just create food from thin air, or why there was a Taboo on saying 'Voldemort's name.and so more. It dive deeply into the past of important characters we thought we know enough, Dumbledore and Snape. From the beginning you see a wrapping up for the characters,the places -like Private Drive- and the events. You'll see a lines that connected to the very early of the series and book one.you'll be in a journey toward the ending without feeling disconnected from the whole previous events and characters. There's no something you'll feel-if u pay enough attention - out of place,out of the plot or out of the characters. The Characters ************** Was so glad that J.K.Rowling announce that there's no 'new' character presented in the last books which was perfect since it's the end of the series and it's better to focus on our beloved characters and the ones we lived wit them for years. The characters deals here with the 'real responsibilities' that comes with the coming of age. Or the quest they asked for and they have to do for their good and greater good There were no any 'Exaggeration' or over acting, the characters go normally,naturally and very real, The writer chose to describe even the smallest feelings they feel in some important situations like for example Harry's final visit to the Dark Forest, or the boredom of the days on the run from place to place. And won't forget the wrapping up of Every character sometimes with surprises which is never out of character. She was always have it all planned and well drawn The Message *********** I have to admit at my second reading I find an extraordinary spiritual amazing message It starts with the 2 quotations one is pagan, and one is from a Christian tradition. One about the Death and one about Friends. And it fit perfectly to the theme of the book,and the message of Love that can beat any other force. I saw also a symbol in the Dumbledore's character and the whole Harry -Dumbledore's relation, complicated symbol of Faith, religion and religious people. In many ways that you have to look carefully to dedicate it. ِِAnd look at the final fight between Harry and Voldemort.I was like.My God you're the best writer EVER “You’re right. But before you try to kill me, I’d advise you to think about what you’ve done.... Think, and try for some remorse, Riddle....” “What is this?” Of all the things that Harry had said to him, beyond any revelation or taunt, nothing had shocked Voldemort like this. Harry saw his pupils contract to thin slits, saw the skin around his eyes whiten. “It’s your one last chance,” said Harry, “it’s all you’ve got left.... I’ve seen what you’ll be otherwise.... Try for some remorse....” It's not just normal fight between Good and Evil, It's amazing written novel. Can't seriously describe all of what I want to say about this series Just one thing I can admit, It's my wonderful journey, It's my friends, It's the books that made me- trying to be- a better person. It's where I meet my friends. It's where I truly Laugh while reading/living the story.It's where I cry with characters and feel sorry for some. It's magic.It's real magic cause It's words of Love So glad to finish it at 2nd May, And so strange I didn't feel I'm going to miss the Harry Potter books although I finished it before in Arabic, and that was the ending of my experience with it in English, But deep inside me is sure I'll go back to Hogwarts again,re-reading from one to seven soon ISA. Before I finish I have to share this great man's word.Who really was the best transforming a paper character to a real life Thank you Joanna Rowling.

But I feel emotionally manipulated by this sneaky paperback, DARN YOU HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS. MY LOVE FOR YOU IS COMPLICATED. First: let's talk about why Cait is a Grumpy Gills: • The fact that the pacing is rubbish. But it kind of is. The beginning borderlines B.O.R.I.N.G. Not enough that I wasn't interested? But enough that I was annoyed. It felt like JK Rowling didn't know what to do with her characters if they didn't have Hogwarts classes to get to. • I'm annoyed that the Slytherins were still labelled at the end as 'badies'. Especially in that epilogue when [Ron ] says 'don't make friends with Slytherins, kids!' Rubbish and growls. (I am a defensive Slytherin, FYI.) • And speaking of Slytherin's.I kind of thought Harry and Draco might've [made up or something?? Been tentative friends????? ] Apparently all the stuff I'd gleaned from the internet is wishful thinking. • There was VERY cliche Voldemort-must-monologue-before-his-kill scene. • To be realistic.Harry should've passed out from FOOD DEPRIVATION. Why is not one angry about this?!? The lad barely EVER ATE. I was hungry reading this blasted book. Someone give the kid a scone before he kills a thing. • I'm annoyed Luna and Neville didn't get more page time. REALLY annoyed. • I still don't ship the ships. In bk6 I was totally onboard with Harry and Ginny. They like have no chemistry, sorry. And Hermione and Ron? Though Ron did mature a lot in this book and I am proud.okay. My wrath is out. Now time for the FEEEEEEELS. Don't say I didn't warn you. EVERYTHING I FREAKING LOVED AND THE REASONS THIS BOOK IS GETTING 5 FREAKING STARS OMG FEELELLELELELELS: • My darling baby Neville Longbottom. I HAD A DREAM ABOUT HIM LAST NIGHT. (I have not seen any movies, btw.) But my motorbike had broken down and he came and fixed it for me and it was adorable and my heart melted. I want a Neville Longbottom, please and thank you. (So I never did a review of this and am deciding to add one now.) I'm a Millennial, and like most Millennials, I grew up with Harry Potter. Not just the books, but we kinda aged with him (or thereabouts). It's a coming of age story for our whole generation, whether or not we received our Hogwarts letters. And we were there together. We were at and movie theaters, lined up and excited to share in the adventure.

I can't think of the number of people who I've bonded with over these stories--people who I wouldn't have thought to have much in common with in the first place. We came from all different backgrounds, much like the 4 houses, and joined in the Battle of Hogwarts. We mourned the deaths of beloved characters. And cheered on the sheer wit and bravery of others. We debated what Harry should have done with the Elder Wand. But we never let go of this world. We continue to relive these memories through fan fiction, arts and crafts, music, food and drink, and. Being that it came out nearly a decade ago, I think it holds up pretty well. “Words are, in my not-so-humble opinion, our most inexhaustible source of magic.

It's crazy how much time I spend reading the books, listening to the audiobooks, watching the films or just thinking about them. So many things between thousands of pages and millions of words. No wonder Harry Potter has such an impact on our society, as it deals with so many topics that have moved, and still move us today, will move us in future: Race and racism for one, hate, ignorance, arrogance and how to fight all of these things. Power and influence of the media, slavery, dictatorship, revolution, feminism, depression, death, loss, equality, love, friendship. Rowling is probably one of the most important teachers to every child (and adult) reading her books. She shows us, that our dreams are dreamed to become real, that family is who we chose our family to be, that friends can be our greatest strength and that every being, whatever our differences might be, deserves kindness and respect. I still can't believe that this amazing woman was able to put all of this in seven books. ***** CONTAINS SPOILERS SO MAYBE DON'T READ THIS WHEN YOU HAVEN'T READ THE BOOK YET.:) ***** “The true master of death does not seek to run away from death.

You still have time to back out though, so don’t tell me you haven’t been warned.^^ To, there is no argument about your brilliance. You are a certified genius, a person with superhuman writing ability and imagination and I can’t praise you enough for writing these books that have forever changed my life. But you’re still human and surely you’ve recognized your flaws. One of which is your penchant for killing your characters. You can’t blame me for thinking that one of the reasons you created so many great and memorable characters is for you to be able to kill as many of them as you want to. I accept though with the heaviest heart that certain characters needed to die, needed to sacrifice their lives for the greater good but I find no good reason for the death of [Fred! Why kill him? Haven’t you killed enough already? Why did he even have to die?! Why not Percy instead? I honestly think no Weasley should have died for obvious reasons I don’t think I still have to enumerate. Also, I honestly believe the last book lacks at least 200 more pages. Why jump to 19 years later epilogue right after the devastating war? Don’t the rest of the other characters deserve a few pages about them? A simple tribute perhaps to all their sacrifice and pain and loss? I have gone so far, have read hundreds and hundreds of pages from book one only to be spared of better resolutions before an epilogue. Also, don’t you think [Professor Severus Snape ] deserved a better, more respectful way to die? And whatever happened to [Professor Moody’s ]body? So you see, even though I admire you with 99.72 percent of my heart,.28 percent percent is resenting your choices. But thank you. Now my heart is tougher and braver. Characters in the next books I read could all die and I probably wouldn’t shed a tear. I just wish I read your books before and. I probably would have considered those happy endings. To Harry Potter, I will never forget your brave and pure heart. You showed me that heroes can be an average boy with no special superpowers except courage, trustworthy instincts and strength of will, oh and of course, a bunch of awesome wizards and witches supporting and protecting him the best way they can. To Hermione Granger, you are the most kick-ass heroine I’ve ever met without needing to actually kick ass. You only needed your intellect, level headedness and kind heart and like Ron said, without you and your beaded bag, he and Harry would not have survived a day during your quest. To Ron Weasley, you probably are the biggest idiot in the story but you showed the best of you in times you are needed the most. I admire your loyalty, sarcasm and free spirit and there is no better man for Hermione than you. To Fred and George, when in tears, I could always count on you guys for a good laugh. It's no fun without you. [George, it’s hard enough losing a part of your body but to have to lose your twin brother too. *wails* ] To Hagrid (and Graupy), *hugs* I’ll never forget your gallons of tears and rock cakes! Thank you for your loyalty, friendship and bravery. You will be remembered for generations. To Professor Snape,you are indeed the bravest of them all. Your sacrifice is utterly selfless and certainly the biggest of all. Your memories Harry and I saw in Dumbledore’s Pensieve ripped my heart to pieces and I spent days and nights crying for you. You're a true hero and you deserve a monument. Maybe I'll name my son after you. *wails* To Professor Dumbledore, you are the true epitome of sacrifice, love and humility. You find something good in every person and you never fail to offer kindness even to those others deem undeserving. To Dumbledore’s Army led by Neville, Luna, Ginny,, you guys are awesome! To the Order of the Phoenix, you were amazing especially you Mrs. I’m so sorry for your losses but thank you, thank you so much. To the Hogwarts Professors led by Prof. Mc Gonagall, you did an amazing job holding off Voldy! You were all brilliant! To the Malfoys,uh I don’t know. How about I just stick my tongue out at the lot of you! To Dobby, *wails* I can’tjust thank you so much. You’re the most loyal elf. The bravest free elf I know. To Kreacher, you poor thing. I had no idea what you had to go through and what made you the way you are. In the end, thank you for your bravery and for leading the elves to the battle. To the Death Eaters and Snatchers led by Bellatrix and Greyback, I have two words for you. “AVADA KEDAVRA!” To Umbridge, off to Azkaban, you go! To Voldemort, that’s right, I dare! I am completely with Harry, You don’t learn from your mistakes, Riddle, do you? To the rest of the fallen, [Professor Moody, Cedrick, Sirius, Remus, Tonks, James and Lily, Colleen Creevey and many others ], like Neville said, your death was not in vain. *wails* To the movie makers and actors, thank you for bringing to life the characters we love. We will always look up to you people. Don't you dare disappoint us!^^ To my Goodreads friends who bullied me into reading Harry Potter, thank you for destroying my life! I was doing perfectly fine without these books. You wrecked me pretty bad especially when I was reading the last book. I felt like hundreds of Dementors were surrounding me while reading it that I had to constantly cast a Patronus Charm while reading. It was really exhausting. My Patronus is a baby elephant, btw! Oh and I'm House Gryffindor, hurray! I'm afraid, I'm becoming worse than Luna Lovegood. To and, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, my young, smart and beautiful friends (March 06 is their actual birthday). You are both gifted for having such passion for reading at such young ages. Savor that gift and seize your most special day! REVIEW TO COME TOMORROW 'Do not Pity the dead, Harry. Pity the living, and above all, those who live without love.' It still feels weird to me me for finishing this series. I mean, I had read this series since August and I feel really.

I feel like I just bought the first book yesterday instead of months ago. I feel like I just read the first book yesterday instead of months ago. Months ago, I thought I would feel okay when I finished this series but I do not feel that way. Like empty or hollow on the inside, you know what I mean, right? Like there is this sad feeling and you just want to read it forever and ever but you can't because the story is over and there is nothing you can do. The only thing you can do is hugging the book because that way you would feel much better, like you actually hug the main characters. Maybe this is how it feels like when you have to say goodbye to your best friends who have always be with you. No matter how difficult the situation is but they are there. I always envy those people who grew up with Harry Potter series. I envy them because they have such incredible childhood and me, I was a muggle that time and I used to hate reading novels so much and I had never once thought that I would love reading novels as much as I love breathing. Harry Potter series also has a great impact in my life. I was the kind of girl who always shy and never be myself because before reading HP I wanted people to like me, so I became what they wanted me to be and I rarely stood up for myself even when I knew I was right but Harry Potter series has changed me. You guys do know Luna, don't you? Many people called her ' Loony ' because she believed in many things but Luna didn't care what they called her, she kept being herself and she had never ashamed to show her true self and that was the time I realized I was such a stupid girl who let my so-called friends changed me to be the girl I didn't even want me to be and now, my friends often say that I am such a weirdo or crazy girl who is very different from them because I love reading books so much and you know what? I just don't care about them anymore. I don't care when they say about me such a weirdo because I am not ashamed of being myself anymore because this is who I am and Luna also taught me one more thing, when you are being yourself and everyone teases you because of it. Don't you ever worry about it because your true friends will come to you. These friends will accept who you are. Just like Luna who has amazing friends, Harry Ron, Ginny, Hermione and Neville. Like I told you, I used to be very shy that I never stood up for even myself. Few weeks ago, my friend who always insulted me, she insulted me again and no one in class was brave enough to stand up for themselves. The next thing I knew was that I snapped back at her and she was shocked and she has never insulted me again since that accident and she is kind of nice to me and we're friends now. This series has changed me to be a braver person. I don't think I can say this is a review because it's all about me and one more thing,, [ I will never ever forget 2nd May 1998. I lost so many great friends Remus, Tonks, Colin, Fred, Sirius and many more. ] I really want to say many thank you to Mrs. Rowling who wrote this awesome series because this series has changed me to be a better person and this series also changed me to be so much braver person. Thank you very much, Mrs. Rowling and thank you very much for reading this guys. I found all these wonderful pictures on Google. Many thanks for the creators. ***SPOILERS: From an interview with Rowling on the Today show.

Rowling said her original epilogue was “a lot more detailed,” including the name of every child born to the Weasley clan in the past 19 years. (Victoire, who was snogging Teddy — Lupin and Tonks’ son — is Bill and Fleur’s eldest.) Harry, Ron and Hermione We know that Harry marries Ginny and has three kids, essentially, as Rowling explains, creating the family and the peace and calm he never had as a child. As for his occupation, Harry, along with Ron, is working at the Auror Department at the Ministry of Magic. After all these years, Harry is now the department head. “Harry and Ron utterly revolutionized the Auror Department,” Rowling said. “They are now the experts. It doesn’t matter how old they are or what else they’ve done.” Meanwhile, Hermione, Ron’s wife, is “pretty high up” in the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, despite laughing at the idea of becoming a lawyer in “Deathly Hallows.” “I would imagine that her brainpower and her knowledge of how the Dark Arts operate would really give her a sound grounding,” Rowling said. Harry, Ron and Hermione don’t join the same Ministry of Magic they had been at odds with for years; they revolutionize it and the ministry evolves into a “really good place to be.” “They made a new world,” Rowling said. The wizarding naturalist Luna Lovegood, the eccentric Ravenclaw who was fascinated with Crumple-Horned Snorkacks and Umgubular Slashkilters, continues to march to the beat of her own drum. “I think that Luna is now traveling the world looking for various mad creatures,” Rowling said. “She’s a naturalist, whatever the wizarding equivalent of that is.” Luna comes to see the truth about her father, eventually acknowledging there are some creatures that don’t exist. “But I do think that she’s so open-minded and just an incredible person that she probably would be uncovering things that no one’s ever seen before,” Rowling said. Luna and Neville Longbottom? It’s possible Luna has also found love with another member of the D.A. When she was first asked about the possibility of Luna hooking up with Neville Longbottom several years ago, Rowling’s response was “Definitely not.” But as time passed and she watched her characters mature, Rowling started to “feel a bit of a pull” between the unlikely pair. Ultimately, Rowling left the question of their relationship open at the end of the book because doing otherwise “felt too neat.” Mr. Longbottom: “The damage is done.” There is no chance, however, that Neville’s parents, who were tortured into madness by Bellatrix Lestrange, ever left St. Mungo’s Hospital for Magical Maladies. “I know people really wanted some hope for that, and I can quite see why because, in a way, what happens to Neville’s parents is even worse than what happened to Harry’s parents,” Rowling said. “The damage that is done, in some cases with very dark magic, is done permanently.” Rowling said Neville finds happiness in his grandmother’s acceptance of him as a gifted wizard and as the new herbology professor at Hogwarts. The fate of Hogwarts Nineteen years after the Battle of Hogwarts, the school for witchcraft and wizardry is led by an entirely new headmaster (“McGonagall was really getting on a bit”) as well as a new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. That position is now as safe as the other teaching posts at Hogwarts, since Voldemort’s death broke the jinx that kept a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor from remaining for more than a year. While Rowling didn’t clarify whether Harry, Ron and Hermione ever return to school to finish their seventh year, she did say she could see Harry popping up every now and again to give the “odd talk” on Defense Against the D. I started the Harry Potter audio books at the end of August 2016. It took me a little over 4 months to listen to them all (I fit a few others in-between) but I’m so happy I finally finished. If you haven’t read them before, or you’re a long time fan looking for a re-read I can’t recommend the audio books enough. Jim Dale does a fantastic job with the narration. I can see myself going back one day and listening to them all over again!

I can see myself going back one day and listening to them all over again! Now to the final book of the series: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. The book begins with Harry, Ron and Hermione on the run doing the task that Dumbledore gave Harry. To be honest, the first part of the book (and by first part, I mean the first 70-80% or so) was a little slow for me. There were exciting things to pop up here and there, but a lot of it was slow. Then the last few hours of the audiobook happened. I’ve gotta say, once this trio got back to Hogwarts, the ending was epic. There were moments of sorrow, moments that made me laugh, smile, cry it was very emotional [GAWD that Snape scene. I can’t even! It made me cry like a baby. And love a character I didn’t care for much! I’m pleased with the way it ended. Overall, this series has been fantastic for me. I’m so glad I finally made the time to read them all. I’ve always loved the movies and been a fan, but now I feel like I need to go and re-watch everything! Harry Potter is a heartwarming series with courageous characters that I will hold near and dear to my heart. “Do not pity the dead, Harry. Pity the living, and, above all those who live without love.” Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows literally touched the deepest part of my heart. This book has many layers and each one was refined by the smartest author I've ever known. Rowling always has a plan, she never threw anything into her books without thinking it first. In this case, I think she planned the ending of this book since she started writing for sure, and every point she emphasized in HP “Do not pity the dead, Harry. Pity the living, and, above all those who live without love.” Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows literally touched the deepest part of my heart.

In this case, I think she planned the ending of this book since she started writing for sure, and every point she emphasized in HP 7 was unfaltering and made me believe that it's a pure diamond when she ended her story with an epic score. “Of course it is happening inside your head, Harry, but why on earth should that mean that it is not real?” Harry, Ron and Hermione prove themselves that they're just ordinary humans. They argue each other. They make the sly plan. Importantly, they get to know how to forgive and forget, that's all that matters. “We're all human, aren't we? Every human life is worth the same, and worth saving.” This book is EVERYTHING. It became much more than just a fiction for me. It had its voice and when it whispered in my ears, I literally believed that there was magic in this world. Each chapter made me strong and wanted to be someone better. Each character epitomized a different kind of person. This book doesn't deserve five stars review, it's beyond measure and a thousand stars are not even enough. Albus Severus,' Harry said quietly, so that nobody but Ginny could hear, and she was tactful enough to pretend to be waving to Rose, who was now on the train, 'you were named for two headmasters of Hogwarts. One of them was a Slytherin and he was probably the bravest man I ever knew.” More. It was September 1998; the third Harry Potter book had just been released. It was still unknown except to a vast population of younglings who'd read it. And I fell in love. Oh, how I fell in love. I fell in love with the poor, starved-for-affection, later known to be a twit Harry. I fell in love with the pretentious know-it-all Hermione. I fell in love with the awkward, grew-up-in-his-brother's-shadows Ron. And most of all?

I fell in love with the awkward, grew-up-in-his-brother's-shadows Ron. And most of all? I fell in love with the snarky, unplatable, snarling, rude, hygienically-disinclined professor of potions, Severus Snape. Almost ten years later, I'm still obsessed with it in many ways. This is the Seventh Book. This is the end of Harry Potter. I cried, I wept, I laughed, sometimes quite hysterically. I loved Ron's humour, Harry's angst, Hermione's smarts, Snape's devotion, Dumbledore's love, Percy's return, Dobby's sacrifice, the change of Kreacher, absolutely everything. I kept waiting and waiting to be disappointed and yes, I was disappointed on the occasion, but the thrill far outweighed the flaws. As for Snape? One of the characters I fell absolutely in love with? THIS IS A HUGE SPOILER. He dies working for Dumbledore. He dies, looking into Harry's eyes. He dies because for the last thirty years of his life, he has loved Lily Evans and everything he has done and everything he sacrificed was for her. His death provoked a number of emotions in me and one of the major ones was utter, utter grief. He's been abused and used his whole life, whether by his parents, by his classmates, by Voldemort, by Dumbledore, and I felt such freaking anger that in the end, he wasn't even given the proper funeral that he totally deserved. In the book itself, it made sense, because whatever Snape did for the Greater Good, he was still a bastard. But as a reader, my heart broke into ittybitty pieces over him. There were tons of other things going on at the same time. I say, Rowling is an excellent action scene writer. I'm terrible at writing action that's vivid and engaging, but she managed to do it. Harry himself lives. But he's been forever scarred by his experience. And that, actually, is one of the best parts of his book. He was such an arse in books 5 and 6, and to have this mature young man emerge was one of the greatest joys in this series. I was so, so, so happy that he got the happiness he wanted. The ending was much WTF? For me, since it was like a SOOPER HAPPILY EVER AFTER ending, but at the same time. Harry is finally happy and that means a great deal to me. Harry, I've been a fan for almost ten years and in those ten years, you've made me laugh, cry, scream, whoop, run around, obsess, tender, hard, awesome and about a million other things. I've watched you grow from a scared, unsure first year into a hopeful young man in the third and fourth, an angsty teen in the fifth and sixth, and in the seventh? You came full circle and you were as your parents were. Happy, with children of your own. You changed so much and it felt like I had grown up partly with you, though I was but fourteen years old when I read you. I love all of the characters, I love all the books, and well? Severus Snape. You'll be missed. Same with you, Fred, Dobby, Lupin, Tonks, Moody, Colin, Scrimgoeur, Bellatrix, Peter, yes, even Voldemort. A lifetime has passed and HP is going to be one of those books that'll stay with me forever. Peace out, Harry! You deserve out! And so it comes to a close, this amazing series, with a battle royal. Which of our most loved and most loathed characters will survive? Which side will prevail? What secrets will be revealed in this final episode? The Harry Potter series is one of the triumphs not only of modern marketing but of contemporary literature.

So is a series really over? Not in our hearts and minds, my friends. Neither shall this one be. And although I considered spending a huge part of today drafting a very thorough review of Harry Potter, my instincts kicked in and told me not to do so. Instead, let's meet up and talk about it somewhere if you want to get into the details. I literally don't have the ability to write everything I am thinking about when it comes to these books. And I wrote my first novel in less than 3 months with not a stitch of writer's block. Sometimes things just flow out of your creativity and into the world's waiting and willing hands. And that's exactly what's happened with the HP book series. It's the kind of book where you can read it at any age and feel a deep connection. You can re-read it and watch the movie all in the same day and never be bored or feel the need to do anything else. When HP movies are running on TV back-to-back over a weekend, I always catch a few of them. These characters are wonderful. The plot is just brilliant. And in this last book, when all the surprises burst from within our own little goblet of fire, we find true nirvana in a set of books unlike any other. From drama to shock, sadness to beauty, Deathly Hallows re-invents the construct of an emotional roller-coaster. Whether you read the whole series or just picked up the last one, you feel the power inside the text. Especially when you consider it all started with an innocent and scared little boy who lived under the stairs at 4 Privet Drive. We are all Harry Potter at one point in our lives or during the course of his life. Could be when you were a child searching for someone to love you, or it may be now as an adult looking back on the differences you faced in the eyes of good versus evil. Whatever the connection is, you'll feel it until you are no more. And while this may seem like an exaggeration or a rather ethereal point of view. One thing I know is true: We all make the exact same face when we hear or think of anything to do with his amazing story: there's a brief pause, our lips curl, our eyes roll back a little as we shut out lids, our breath thins out towards the back of our throat, and our hearts all decide it's OK to stop beating for just that 1 second. And in our collective sigh of 'I love Harry Potter' exclamations, we are all for once, connected by a shared intense feeling that might be strong enough to fuel the world's future.

OVERVIEW Now harry wants to destroy all the Horcruxes to kill Voldemort completely. RANDOM THOUGHTS => It was a big shock for me that Harry was also one the horcruxes. And this fact was also mouth-dropping that Dumbledore was preparing Harry for death by the hands of Voldemort. It's understandable. It has to be done to kill the Voldemort completely. But I didn't feel good. It was good that Harry didn't die. Rowling handled this fact reasonably. => The Tale of Three Brothers was interesting. => Action scenes were pretty vivid. I still remember them. => I was expecting that Nagini would be killed by Harry but not. It's okay by the way. => Epilogue seemed to me J. Rowling had in mind that sometime later she would again start this series. BEST BOOK OF THE SERIES I enjoyed them almost equally. There is very, very minor difference in my liking: 1. Prisoner of Azkaban 2. Goblet of Fire 3. Deathly Hallows 4. Half-Blood Prince 5. Chamber of Secrets 6. Sorcerer's Stone 7. Order of Phoenix I just wanted to do this. But in short I adore every book of this series. So that's it! I have finished this series. For now I don't have plans, at all, to re-read books because I think there is a very little time and there are sooo many books I want to read very much. But IF I ever will plan to re-read books, then this series, for sure, and Artemis Fowl series will be the one which I will choose to read. Both are unique in their own accord. I wanted to do the comparison but it's useless. I always end up liking both equally. 1st position is given to HP because of J. Rowling's writing style which is indeed magical. Harry Potter and Artemis Fowl are my fictional friends. I will never forget the time I have spent with them. Bye bye.Harry Potter! ?? Bye bye.Ron! ?? June 9, 2017.

Was this book just fantastic because we finally know what happens to everyone? Was this book wonderful because Rowling was ruthless and took no prisoners?

Was this book just fantastic because we finally know what happens to everyone? Was this book wonderful because Rowling was ruthless and took no prisoners? Was this book splendid because we knew all the characters and cared about them like they were real? Was this book so great because it made you laugh, cry, gasp, emote out loud? That was one of my favorite things about the book. Regardless of where I was, whether it be sitting on the couch next to my roommate, alone in my room, or standing in my shop, I found myself cheering and gasping and all other sorts of reactions, I was just that into the story.The most emotional part for me, one of them at least, was when Dobby died. I don't know what it was about that, but I was sobbing and had tears streaming down my face. When they describe putting the socks on his feet, that was the part that opened the floodgates. I am one of those people that supports the theory that socks are a very imporant symbol in the Harry Potter series. I even did a report in one of my high school English classes on it. 'Ron sat on the edge of the grave and stripped off his shoes and socks, which he placed upon the elf's bare feet. Dean produced a woolen hat, which Harry placed carefully upon Dobby's head, muffling his batlike ears.' Rowling, master of subtle detail, still includes that brief mention of socks. It was that which really did me in.Another thing that impressed me was how well the story flowed. Probably a combination of being a good writer and knowing, without a doubt, where the story was going and what she wanted to have happen allowed Rowling to keep the story smooth and not jerky. So easily, especially in the beginning/middle chapters in Harry, Ron, and Hermione's search for Horcruxes things could have become so choppy. And while time did pass quickly in brief sections it still flowed. A lot of writers, even good writers, can't seem to make something like that work, yet Rowling did, proving herself yet again.I was also really impressed by her ballsy moves of killing off several main characters, especially right in the beginning. I thought it was going to be in the big final battle ('cause c'mon, you knew it was coming) that we lost all our favorites, not within the first few chapters. RIP Hedwig and Mad-Eye. That was one major way you got sucked in because you're thinking, 'Oh my God! Characters I love are already dying! What the-' and then you keep going because you need to know if anyone else is going to kick it. For some reason though Rowling just loves killing off my favorite characters, Dumbledore, Moody, Fred (and George too in a way), Lupin, Tonks. I was especially angry over the Lupin/Tonks death. It felt like a sort of snub because, yay they're married! Yay, they're having a baby! Yay, he's a little metamorphmagus. Boo, both parents are suddenly dead. But I guess it made the whole thing hurt a lot more, and it did.Honestly, I felt Rowling tied things up beautifully and not in that harried, 'Oh yeah about that? This happens! Yeah, that's it!' I think many fans feel vindicated (i.e. The Snape/Lily shippers, those who thought Harry was a Horcrux, don't mess with Mrs. Weasley) after reading this book. Of course there are probably some who are broken down and upset that what they thought was going to happen didn't. In the end we all got one hell of a story and went on one fantastic adventure. No matter what happened, no matter who died or who ended up with who this book was more than I could have hoped for, I was not disappointed at all.All I can say now is: Jo, thank you. So, I've never reviewed this before, because, what can you say about it?! I bought it at a midnight release party, devoured it, and knew that I loved it. But now that I've spent the last couple of weeks reading it aloud to my son, I understand why I loved it so much. Does anyone fully appreciate the scope of what Rowling did with this book? She spent years upon years, and six other books building a world and populating it with characters, and then she BROUGHT IT AND THEM ALL TOGETHER.

She spent years upon years, and six other books building a world and populating it with characters, and then she BROUGHT IT AND THEM ALL TOGETHER. Spells, tools, people, events, that had been sprinkled throughout the other six books were now smoothly woven together into this last great battle. And yes, they spend a lot of time camping, but as Harry says to Ron, 'Did you think we'd be finding a Horcrux a day?' No, I didn't, or at least I hoped that they wouldn't, because that would have been too pat, too unrealistic. Instead, they had to search, they had to learn, they had to struggle, and be bored, and be lost, and then find what they needed. The Ron-Harry-Hermione friendship is tested, and found to be unbreakable. Ron and Hermione's relationship moves forward, Harry has time to reflect on his life, the people who have helped him, what his future might hold. And I loved it. I loved the moments of solemn reflection. I loved the testing of loyalties, revelations about the youth of Dumbledore and Snape (and if you don't bawl like a baby reading about Snape's memories, YOU HAVE NO SOUL!), Lily and even Petunia. There are no throwaway characters in Rowling's world, yet it isn't just some endless catalogue of: And Dean did this, and Neville did this... Everything is part of one whole, beautiful story. The Weasleys continue to show their strength and love for Harry (and if you don't cry when Percy shows up, or when Fred... YOU HAVE NO SOUL!), Neville proves that he is his parents' son, and a true Gryffindor... And in short, there are so many stand up and cheer moments that I couldn't sit still while I was reading it. Of course, there are many, many tragedies, but after each tragedy, a moment of triumph to balance it, for which I say: Thank you, J. Rowling, for creating one of the best, most magical series for children of all time. Thank you for giving us Harry, Ron, Hermione, Fred and George, Ginny and Luna, and so many wonderful moments. And thank you, most of all, for not screwing up the grand finale. Series ender. 2017: Reread to the kids. First time for daughter (age 8). Managed to keep it mostly together through the end, had to have the 12yo read Molly's fight with Bellatrix and the last couple of paragraphs.

Rowling is a master and brings in real world issues into her fantastical one. I cried, I laughed, I screamed, I smiled, and when it was all over I just sat there and contemplated what my life will be like now that I have finished the series once more. I highly recommend this series more than anything else in the world to those who need some magic in their lives, which is virtually everyone. Love conquers all, and without delving too much into spoilers, that is where I will leave this. Please pick up this series if you have not, I promise it will not disappoint. This next portion is a little bit into my history with Harry Potter, to better understand how I come up with my thoughts about this series. The first time I read the Harry Potter series I was 13 years old. Now, that may seem a bit older than most when they started reading this miraculous series, but I was skeptical to the power that these books had on so many. Although I was older than most when I first read this series, I was also still pretty young and could really only relate to Harry and the others up to about the third book, Prisoner of Azkaban, when they were 13, like I was. Now, exactly five years later, I have been every age (other than in '19 Years Later'), that Harry, Hermione, and Ron have been throughout the entire series, which I think benefits me greatly in understanding their thoughts, feelings, and decisions in each book. When I first read the books, I knew that I could never love anything more, and now, five years later, I am even more sure that this series will not only stay with me forever, bring me light in my darkest days, and be passed on to my children, but also that I have not felt this way about anything. It might seem silly, but I think when one finds this in something, they know, whether or not others will understand. I will most certainly be rereading this series in the future many more times and will continue to be astounded with the growth that I see in myself as I get older, but also with this series, because as I change, it changes with me. It would be a dishonour to give this anything less than 5 stars! Infinity out of 5! This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers. To view it, grrr. *spoilers* This book was meant to be a masterpiece. I was VERY disappointed with the last portion of the book. But the criticisms are for later. I've always thought that JK's writing was admirable if a little underdeveloped, but the paragraphs just don't seem to flow together as well as they used to. They finally leave school. I never thought they would, but it sure as hell was an exciting notion. However the lack of supporting characters (that you might find at Hogwarts) means that grrr. *spoilers* This book was meant to be a masterpiece.

I've always thought that JK's writing was admirable if a little underdeveloped, but the paragraphs just don't seem to flow together as well as they used to. They finally leave school. I never thought they would, but it sure as hell was an exciting notion. However the lack of supporting characters (that you might find at Hogwarts) means that this book is darker and the lack of humour makes for a depressing hundred pages around pg200. A little weird how the human deaths are less effective, maybe that's just me but Hedwig and Dobby's deaths broke my heart. With mad-eye. Well, he was an asshole so i didn't care. Well, there is another one so the impact is lessened. With Lupintonks. Well if they were stupid enough to name Harry godfather (even THEY should have seen the parellalism!) then they deserve to die. No i don't mean that, but as we didn't see them die it seems less horrifying. So much more interesting and original than the others this daring new direction led to some bad writing which didn't go anywhere in the end (wtf was the hallows about?). The Hallows was a ridiculous idea and frankly i was horrified that Rowling was attempting to introduce such a 'major' theme in the last book with only one brief reference in book six. They were pointless, in the end what did it matter who had ownership of the elder wand? No one used it in 'the final duel' anyway. I no longer like Dumbledore, JK dragged him through the mud and didn't thoroughly wash him off. Harry forgave him but i sure as hell didn't (and who didn't see the 'Harry is a Horcrux' thing coming? The chapter 'King's cross' made me cry. But not because it was well written, rather the opposite, it didn't make sense at times (where the hell were they?) i had to reread the section on harry's 'phoenixlike' ability several times and i still hate it. It was so weak. This sequence was nothing like the other 'endofbookharryanddumbledore' explanations we have come to know and love. Nothing was explained in this chapter everything was re-explained and slightly embellished. The chapters immediately preceding this were the real treat of the book, Snape is finally redeemed (although after ten years of waiting i did expect a better ironclad reason for trusting him than loving lily). Harry facing his mortality is heartbreaking even though most of us have imagined it countless times. The moment right before his death is about as perfect an HP moment there is. He should have stayed dead and the narration flick to another. Voldemort's Invincible Army is defeated too easily and Bellatrix's death is unsatisfying as Molly has no real motive for revenge (nono Fred's death doesn't count). Harry should have done it. He also should have performed at least one killing curse in the book, he performed the other unforgivables, so why not? Voldemort is killed by a reflecting spell. Are you KIDDING me? Could it possibly be more anticlimactic? What was the point of the elder wand then? Why the elaborate buildup when Harry doesn't even perform the execution? Anyone could have duelled to a reflection, and since when can that happen? A true HP fan must take alot on faith to enjoy this ending. The less said about the epilogue the better. Probably been written since book one and it shows. There is no depth, any hp fan could guess (or assume) this ending, its not even worth reading. Albus Severus was the only icing on this unsatisfying and dry cake. If you do read this book close it at the end of 'the forest again' and write your own ending. OR wait for JK to realise her mistake and re publish with an alternate ending. This was not a rant. Update: Look. I gave it four stars okay? ![]() Search the catalog of the Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County, and check out or renew any item including eBooks, eAudiobooks, movies, and digital music.

E books are great but when your husband uses your iPad 24/7 to play Final Fantasy on it, there's really no chance to read those e books. Anyways, if you didn't already know, you can search online at the Hawaii Public Library website to see if they have the book you are looking for. I was looking for this book called The Fifth Wave.

So I thought I would read it instead. I found it on their website and it was able to tell me which locations had the book checked in. It's really a great website. So I went to Aina Haina library because it said it was there. I tried to find it myself but it wasn't where it should've been. So I went up to the circulation desk and asked the lady there. She was very helpful. ![]() 3 reviews of Hawaii State Public Library System - Kihei Library 'Oh how we love our local library! Story time every week, special events monthly, free WI-FI, helpful.

She came out from behind her desk and showed me where it was. First she looked in the same place I was and then when it wasn't there she looked in another place. I guess that was like a shelving cart where they didn't get a chance to put the returned books back on the shelf. Anyway, all in all Aina Haina library is a nice quaint library and it was really convenient. Because right before I just walked across the parking lot to get my groceries from Foodland. The Aina Haina Library is a great little library situated in the Aina Haina Shopping Center. I've been frequenting it more and more to the point where people are recognizing me and my daughter. They have a nice collection of in-house DVDs, CDs, and (of course) books. But the wonderful thing about the Hawaii State Public Library System is that you can order anything from anywhere and pick it up at the library of your choice. Yes, you'll have to wait for more popular items (newer releases of books, CDs, and Movies) but it's worth it. I'm still waiting for season 4 of Game of Thrones.I think I'm #90 in the line. Books and CDs are free and DVDs (including Box Sets) are a $1. You can borrow as many books as you want but you're limited to 10 CDs or 10 DVDs. I know because I've hit my limit before. One of the really nice things about this library is that it has lots of room for sitting, reading, and doing work. Not pretend work like people do at Starbuck (which is across the street). Real work.because it's a library. There's free wifi if you have a library card. And if you don't have a library card you can get one of those for free too! They have story time for kids, movie nights, an honor system used book store, and a little room in the back for presentations, workshops, and other goings on. I have to say, out of the other libraries in the immediate area (Kaimuki, Hawaii Kai, and Aina Haina) this one is my favorite. Nothing against the others, it just seems like this library is better cared for and is used more frequently by the area residents. The staff are very friendly and courteous. They're always willing to make recommendations and to help find things for you. Check it out and check out a book today! It's a quaint, sleepy little library, with a used book store inside (it's a pay box honor system), read along time for the kids, cubicles for the adults, and plenty of tables for family time. Of course, there's free wifi (log in with your library card number and pin, which is the last four digits of your phone number), and it's nice and quiet. Parking is a breeze in the Aina Haina Shopping Center, bathrooms are nice and clean, and the best part is you can order whatever book you want from any of the libraries in the state, and they'll have it for you in less than 2 days. It's amazing. Cubicles are great for studying, and there's always plenty available. The only downside is that their cubicles do NOT have outlets nearby (minus one star). Renewing your books is a breeze--you can do it online with the click of button, over the phone, or in person, as long as you have the books with you. Just take a look.it's in a book.the reading rainbow! I spend a lot of time in libraries but this was my first time at Aina Haina. It was my WORST library experience ever, as far as wheelchair access. There is a nice ramp up from the very tiny parking lot. The restrooms sport a lovely blue and white 'wheelchair accessible' sign that made me hopeful. But here is NO possibility of getting even a small power wheelchair into the restroom. The sharp turn immediately upon entering the restroom door is so tight, my wheelchair couldn't make the turn I got stuck. I can't think of many things more embarrassing. A crowd gathered, including 3 men. They offered to carry me to the toilet while they worked to unwedge my wheelchair. I got free from the humiliating doorway and went outside, thinking I could go across the driveway to Starbucks or next door to McDonald's. Headed first for McDonald's, but the sidewalk ends at the end of the library property. Just drops off. So I tried to cross the driveway to Starbucks, but found there is no wheelchair ramp in that direction, either. I wish I'd had my camera with me so I could've photographed the VERY steep curb down to the sidewalk to the road I'd have to cross. My chair would've tipped over face-first if I'd tried. There are several painted sidewalks along that block. I went all the way to the end of the block, but there is no wheelchair ramp anywhere, not even at the intersection. Possibly a manual wheelchair with enough clearance could make the steep dip, with a second person helping. But no way a power scooter or wheelchair with only a few inches of clearance could make it. Another small community library located around the Aina Haina Shopping Center. Not sure if the library was built around the shopping center back in the day, or vice versa. But anyway, this library is very quaint, 1 story building. I come here sometimes for some peace and quiet, when distractions at home are too much and the malls are crazed with people. After eating at Mama Pho, I came to the library and just did some book reading. It's one of those things where people take libraries for granted. Just 10 minutes in the library and it feels like time just stands still. Haven't used the restroom there yet, but I hope it is clean. The ambiance is comforting and it is quiet. When the only thing you can hear is whispers and shuffling of people's feet, then it's pretty darn quiet. While this library is smaller than the other ones on the island, it serves its purpose for those living in Aina Hina who want a book or two, without having to go to the Hawaii Kai or Kaimuki branch to get it. The parking situation is the same with the shopping center. Plenty of parking, but it can get hairy during meal times, when everyone is searching for food. From a mother with small children's perspective this was not a good experience overall. Plenty of parking to be had if it wasn't a busy shopping center parking lot. It was an act to get from minivan to front door of library branch. The children's section is not super- friendly to the toddler set,, but after first visit this past summer, I did return recently to check out the storytime. The storyteller was very kind and made for sure I felt invited bring the children back to do the craft afterwards. (I had left the room before the stories were quite completed due to a restless child or two) I recommend this library to mothers of 1 to 2 children, especially if you live close by for convenience. However, I have found that other branches are more toddler/preschooler friendly in general layout and hands-on activities available such as puzzles, stuffed animals, etc. This is one of our favorite libraries. They have, for some reason,a LOT of free magazines to take. The librarian kindly foisted them off on me as she was putting them away and even helped me find my favorites. They have a large, open space and a nice kid's section with small tables and many kid book displays. I've also had good luck in finding what I need in the adult fiction section and the crafts section (my two faves). Three or four spaces are right in front of the library, otherwise park in the lot over by the bank. Be careful crossing as people ignore the speed bumps and it's actually a sort of road from the elementary school to the east. For such a small neighborhood library, it is definitely cute! The staff here are helpful and efficient in knowing where and what to find. I felt it was quieter than other libraries I have been to in the past. I love the quiet environment and my son loved their book section which was nicely put together. Even I got lost in looking at hiking and cook books. I noticed that this location was very active. Lots of people bringing their little ones in, practically all the computers were taken for those using the internet. I also love how they have full collections of books from the authors, just all together-not spread out here and there. Sometimes, I've been to other places and books seemed all over the place (probably from other people), but they have their system down over here. Definitely a gem in Aina Haina. A trip to Doe Fang for a special Uncle Clay Icee creation, a peanut butter and red velvet cupcake at Cake Couture, a scoop of Roselani ice cream from scoops, wash it all down with pizza and 1 token games at Chuck E. Cheese, maybe even paint yet another plate and mug at Clay Cafe. All this to bribe a child's love of reading and enter a world of fantasy in a book.

Walden Henry David Thoreau 106,988 words (6 hours 30 minutes) with a reading ease of 59.77 (average difficulty) Description Walden is one of the more famous transcendentalist tracts in modern American literature. First published in 1854, Walden is an account of Thoreau’s famous experiment in solitude: spending over two years alone in a cabin near the wilderness. Walden is broken into sections that meditate on single themes: economy, reading, sounds, solitude, visitors, and so on. The style is complex, weaving back and forth between simple, home-spun prose and complex allegory, metaphor, and allusion. This makes Walden an interesting read because while it may seem accessible on the surface, it’s a book that requires deep and repeated reading to fully appreciate its many complexities. ![]() Free download • — All devices and apps except Amazon Kindle and Kobo. • — Amazon Kindle devices and apps.

Also include any details about your publishing company’s environmentally friendly printing practices, the location of printing, fonts used, etc. Many of these don’t apply to ebooks, however here are some examples. Visit the author’s website at www.josiebreitling.com. CIP (Catalog-in-Publication) Data Block Most self-published ebook authors won’t include a. A CIP data block is not something you can create yourself. It is not required to publish or sell a book. ![]() ![]() The Library of Congress issues a CIP data block to you. It is not something you can create for yourself. However, if you’re a self-publisher, you are not even eligible to have a CIP data issued to you by the Library of Congress. You can, however, pay to have a P-CIP (Publisher’s Catalog-in-Publication) data block generated for you, if you truly desire. Having P-CIP data can make your book look more professional. It costs anywhere from $60-$100 and can be done. However, the only people interested in seeing your CIP data are the librarians, quite frankly. CIP data exists to help them categorize (“catalog”) your book in the library more quickly and easily. Unless you plan to market your book specifically to librarians, CIP data is unnecessary. For your reference, a CIP data block looks something like this. Road, Rocky.Ice cream flavors: a complete biographical history by Sloth and Chunk / Rocky Road.p.cm. ISBN: 95-1-8Includes biographical references and index.1. Food – Ice cream – Non-fiction. Food flavors – Non-fiction. History of food – 20th century – Non-fiction. Title.ID197.C0 Y/.047—cc872 I really wish this book existedI would buy it and put it on my coffee table A side note for Canadian self-published authors: The National Library of Canada will for self-published books. However, they still offer some like ISBNs and others which you can check here. If you’re published, you can obtain your by filling out their form. If you are located elsewhere, check with your country’s local copyright laws. Edition The edition of your book, especially if it is not the first edition, is a good thing to note here. Simply write. ISBN 978-1-4767-9386-4 ISBN 978-1-4767-9322-1 (ebook) Does my book need an ISBN? That answer varies, depending on where you are going to market your book. It is up to the store selling your book. Here are a few of their (current) answers: • Amazon (Kindle): No • Barnes and Noble (ePub): Yes • Apple iBook (ePub): Yes • Libraries and bookstores (print books): Yes Where to get an ISBN ISBN in the US – ISBN in Canda – ISBN in the UK – ISBN in Australia – ISBN in New Zealand – Do I need a separate ISBN for each e-book format? You will need separate ISBNs for the different formats of your ebook and your printed book. For example, if you have a Kindle version, an ePub version, a softcover, an audio book, and a hardcover you will need at least four different ISBNs (five, if you want one for your Kindle book too). Go to the ISBN-issuing website for more details on ISBNs for ebooks. I’m a self-publisher – can I get an ISBN? Yes, self-publishers apply for ISBNs, just like any other publisher. ISBNs are issued to publishers through a company called Bowker. Go to to get yours. If you think you’ll be publishing more books (or more versions of your book) down the road, I’d recommend buying a set of 10 ISBNs as a package right away. You’ll get a steep discount that way. I don’t live in America – can I get an ISBN? Go to to get your ISBN. Disclaimers An entire book could be alone. Because our society is increasingly prone to suing at every opportunity, book disclaimers have become a lot more common. Some genres — like investing — might require specific language to stay compliant with the SEC – same goes with health. For some, look inside other books in your genre, which have been published by traditional publishing companies large enough to have a legal staff. Here’s our disclaimer. We are not lawyers.

Below are two sample disclaimers printed in actual books. Some of the recipes in this book include raw eggs. Raw eggs may contain bacteria. It is recommended that you purchase certified salmonella-free eggs from a reliable source and store them in the refrigerator. You should not feed raw eggs to babies or small kids. Likewise, pregnant women, elderly persons, or those with a compromised immune system should not eat raw eggs. Neither the author nor the publisher claims responsibility for adverse effects resulting from the use of the recipes and/or information found within this book. A legal disclaimer in your book copyright page doesn’t have to be long. Just do a small amount of homework now, and you could save yourself a lot of trouble down the road. Giving Credit Here is a good place to give credit to anybody else who made some sort of contribution to your book such as the graphic designer who created your book cover, photographers whose photographs you used, the person who formatted your ebook, your editor, or your proofreaders. Here are some examples. Ebook formatting by Hynek in Prague, Inc.Cover design by High Fiverr Cover Designer Illustrations © 2017 The Young PadawanEdited by Luke Skywalker of Master Jedi Editing, LLCScripture quotations are from the New King James Version.

What if I want to use a photograph that is public domain – should I disclose that and/or use the PD-US logo on my copyright page? No, it is not necessary. Printing Numbers (and/or years) Ever wonder what that strange, long string of numbers float along near the bottom of the copyright page means? They are actually there for the publisher’s production department. They represent the printing number (or sometimes, the printing year). Typically they are in descending order, from left to right. However, they can be in ascending or even in random order. They were originally put there so that printing plates for the book wouldn’t need to be remade with each reprint. The applicable number was simply removed from the plate. However, as digital printing and ebooks take over, these are likely to go extinct. Side note: These numbers are useful for book collectors. Just look for the lowest number on the list; that’s the printing you have. In the example below, we have a copy from the book’s 2 nd printing. 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 Other Copyright FAQs When is my copyright protection effective? Your copyright protection goes back to the moment you create the content. We recommend everyone read this on copyright basics published by the U.S. Copyright Office Do I need to register my book with the U.S. Copyright Office for my copyright to be effective? No, you do not. However, there are benefits to doing so. If you register your copyright, you will be able to claim attorney fees and statutory damages, in addition to the actual damages and profits you will get to claim with an unregistered book. You can read more about this at the. International authors will have to check their country’s own copyright laws. Do I register for copyright first, or do I submit my published work to Amazon first? You submit your completed book to Amazon (or other booksellers) first, before registering for your copyright. At the time of writing, books are taking 8-13 months to be processed by the copyright office. There’s a lot of potential profit to be lost in those 8-13 months. I am new in this field and it’s my first time to write a book so I am really clueless. Is it ok to put the following even if I don’t register copyright? I mean, I am living in Asia so can I just put that line below without registering, without any thing I need to do or pay? © 2016 My Name Also, I am not a permanent resident in the country I live and work. I am an overseas working professional. In their rules, only citizens and permanent resident can apply for ISBN. How should I apply then for ISBN? Hey Angel, you can because you’re providing common information and not subjective information. However, if the company thinks you are misrepresenting them or they just don’t want you and your book, they can always have it taken down. Just make sure you don’t use their logo on your cover AND I’d recommend adding something to your copyright page stating that “So-and-So” is a different company and this is not their official book on the subject nor did they sanction this (I’m sure there are better words). But the point is, you want to ensure that no one will think you are misrepresenting the software or making people think this is an official book of that company. Hi Dave, thanks so much for your quick answer. I have contacted the vendors, one of them said no problem, but to say what you just say, that I don’t represent the company nor endorse the product, etc etc so that is what I will do on the Copyright page, put a disclaimer saying that my eBook is for educational purposes and in good faith, and that I do not have any relationship or talk en behalf the of the company, something like that. I really appreciate your help and I am very glad I found your site. I’m no lawyer, so I can’t speak at that level but what I’ve been told by my lawyer is that (And remember they’re very conservative) the more layers of protection you use, the better. But the truth is, the publishing date and even dates of creation on your computer has enough backing to prove a claim (or have in the past) that you created a piece of work before someone else. But adding things like a copyright page is another step/layer or protection, and then registering on copyright.gov is another and so on. As for me, and after that conversation, I only go as far as setting a copyright page. And although I make between 60-80K a year from book sales, it doesn’t warrant enough to me to go even further than that to build more layers of protection with each book. So, that’s the lawyer’s response as well as the decision making I used in the end. I hope that helps! Thanks for this great info What if i’d like to use quotes in my action adventure young adult/girl novels – as a way to separate each section. I always provide the author of the quote right underneath. Is this sufficient? Or do I need to do more. Most of the quotes I use are from deceased writers of the past where their work is now in the public domain. But I’d like to use some new author/though leaders’ quotes as well. Will that be a problem? PS/ I’m in Canada – not sure if that makes a difference. Many thanks in advance! If you are writing under a LLC or Corporation, then no need to put your name. I have my own LLCactually two – one for Kindlepreneur, and another for my book’s and online websites. However, if you don’t then my answer will get a little distorted. Ideally, you’d want your name as clarification (but this defeats the point of a Copyright claim, right? A lawyer of course (which I am not) would tell you to place both names and then some. However, in truth, Amazon knows that YOU are the owner of the account that published that book. And upon publishing, there is a timestamp as well. So, you should have enough legal protection to put your Pen Name in the Copyright page, but have enough to prove that that is under you based on Amazon records. So all of that to say, if it were me and I wrote a book under a pen name and not under a LLC, I’d put the pen name on the CC line. But again, I’m not a lawyer – my lawyer who I consult on these matters tells me to say thatoh lawyers. Hi, I’ve written a children’s book that includes some portraits that my coincidentally resemble 2 deceased famous historical authors and 1 deceased President of U.S.A. Also, this fictitious story takes place in my hometown in which some of the the local attractions and building structures my coincidentally resemble some of the landmarks in my hometown. Can I use the name of the buildings in fictitious pictures? For instance, the local planetarium is named Russel C. Davis Planetarium. Am I allowed to use that on the illustration of the building? How can I assure that I am protected from being sued? I’m actually trying to build the local economy here, increase tourism and give the attractions some acknowledgment but in a fictitious way; and donate a portion of proceeds to a local attraction that is slowly diminishing because of lack of funding. Should I include a disclaimer? Where should the disclaimer be located on the copyright page? I have one more question for the copyright page. I plan to have a printed version and Ebook version. Do I list the ISBN, ISBN-13 and Ebook ISBN in my printed version, or do I list only the ISBN and ISBN-13 in the printed version? And for the Ebook, Do I list the Ebook ISBN only or would I list all 3 there as well? Just trying to ensure that printed version readers and Ebook readers know that both formats are available, but I don’t want to confuse the matter because I know that ISBNs are set to identify each specific version individually. Great article Dave You covered the bases well, but I have one lingering question that I can’t seem to find an answer to. You’ve listed ISBN agencies from other countries (note: many other countries do NOT charge for ISBNs // also the AU link is dead -Anyway, I have publishing entities in both the US and South Korea. If i made the ISBNs in Korea, can I use that version of the book here? Or do i have to have an ISBN from the US. It seems that Canadian publishers can use their ISBN for sales in the US, but are they weighted differently by bookstores/libraries/etc.? Tired of paying top dollar for all my ISBNs and printing two versions for the different countries and now I’m faced with paying to put stickers on each book that i ship here with a new ISBN and price Thoughts? Peter Liptak ExilePress.com •. Hi Mark, As always when answering these, I must state that I am not a lawyer ? And here are my answers: 1. Yup, just make sure that your KDP account has your LLC’s information and your book’s copyright page 1.5. I personally don’t think so, nor do I do anything more. Amazon has records of publication and attributes the book to you. I personally feel as though I am covered enough. Amazon knows that your LLC is the owner of the KDP account that published that book. They will create the necessary tax forms to show that as well, regardless of the Pen name on the book. The book is owned by the KDP account owner. Copyright infringement is a big deal all over the world. Some companies, writers, and artists lose millions by having their work stolen or redistributed illegally. Thankfully, there are national and international laws that are in place to help protect your work. So while you may run into a situation where someone infringes your copyright, you do have direct protection and legal options to ensure your work & rights are preserved. In this article, I will explain how to copyright you work, and other basics about copyrighting. This will mostly deal with the Unites States copyright laws, although many things will apply to international copyrights as well. Do You Have To Copyright Your Work at All? Surprisingly, you do not have to even register your work with the US copyright office to have copyright protection. The law clearly indicates that as soon as the work is finished, you own the copyright, and therefore, have copyright protection. So as soon as you are done with your self published book or eBook, you automatically have copyright protection. Not registering a copyright officially may be the best thing for certain publishing mediums where it would be impractical to attempt to copyright something (such as a website, eBook you will distribute for free, etc.). Instead, you can simply publish and distribute your work at your will, and you still have protection. Should You Copyright Your Work At All? While the law clearly provides protection for your copyrighted work even if you don’t register it with the copyright office, it may be a very good idea in many cases. For example, if you really spend a lot of time on your work, and want to ensure you get full protection (and suspect you may get infringed and have to later bring a lawsuit), I would highly recommend registering you work. Registering your work can provide substantial benefit, and I would recommend anyone seeking to sell or distribute their work on a large scale to do so. Some of the benefits of taking the time and money to register your copyright include: • It gives you a much better case in a court of law if someone later tries to infringe your copyright. This way, you have a clear record of proof of your publishing/registration date. This will help to ensure your work is protected, and you are much more likely to win cases of infringement. • It makes you work appear more professional. • It gives you peace of mind to know that you have legally protected your work, and also can freely sell or distribute it at this point, and more. • The law states that there is a mandatory deposit requirement when you publish a work. You are supposed to submit a copy of the published work within 3 months of completion. If you register your work, you can do all of this together. So while you may not have to register your copyright protection in all cases, it may definitely be beneficial to do so in some instances. Again, if you plan to publish an eBook or real book, I would highly recommend you take the time to register it. How Do You Register for Copyright on eBooks or Self Published Books? If you live in the United States, you can register for copyright protection via the internet or mail. The copyright office has a great website, and you can find loads more information about what copyright protection includes, how long copyrights last, registration requirements, and much more. The general fee ranges from about $35-200, depending on whether or not you take advantage of any copyright searches or other services. A Few Other Words on Copyrighting Work Another thing you want to beware of is that while you may totally come up with the writing yourself, you must ensure that someone else hasn’t written a similar work that is still under copyright protection first. It may surprise you that someone out in the world may very well have written a book very similar to yours. You may share similar ideas, phrasing, and so forth. This can happen even if you have never even read their work (or vise versa). So it may be beneficial to do a quick search in the library of congress to ensure you aren’t using a copyrighted title, phrase, etc. It would also be a good idea to ensure that your work isn’t too similar to someone else’s. Again, it may seem unrealistic to you, but I can assure you it happens. There are billions of people in this world, and more than one may have used the title, “How to make money online,” or “How to cook.” Conclusion: To Copyright or Not to Copyright? That is the Self Published Question I think the most important issues to consider are what your ultimate goals are, and whether or not you feel your copyright may be infringed (and if it would bother you or financially harm you if it was). If you are creating a simple eBook to distribute for free, you may want to pass on the copyright registration process. In this case, it may be an unnecessary expense and waste of time. If, however, you plan on selling your eBook or self published book, I would highly recommend you take the time to actually register it. This way, you will feel more professional, have a strong legal record of your copyright, and be able to defend your work in a court of law. Again, you can find great information, and even register your work at the. In this next chapter, I will discuss what an ISBN is, and if you will need an ISBN in addition to registering a copyright.
