That's like, what, 3% of the book? I think J.K. Rowling has given up all pretense of actually writing these books for any purpose other than attempting to see just how massively huge she can make them while still getting them billed as children's books.

That's about 1/8th of the book.

theres 870 pages. _X% of 870 is 100. Use a proportion:

100 X
870 100

870X = 10000
/870 /870
X = 11.4942528735632183908045977011494% of the Book
(Gotta love 7th grade math)

The first 11.4942528735632183908045977011494% of the book harry potter is not at hogwarts. I havn't read further yet.

You forgot the big long bar over 4942528735632183908045977011 to show that it's repeating :P

Actually, its not repeating...

Also, just reading the newspaper, I found that he dosn't go to hogwarts to page 200. One second...:
22.9885057471264367816091954022989%

Also non-repeating. Just really long =P

Looks to me like they're BOTH repeating(Although in the second case, rounded up at the end)
Here's the number:
0.114942528735632183908045977011494
I bolded the repeating part. You can see where it starts to repeat. The next number is a two. Either that or it just LOOKS like it repeats.

Snape goes back to his normal cheerful self as soon as Harry goes back to school, don't worry. =P

If it's just division and it looks like it repeats, then it pretty much has to be repeating. =)

I've read all the ones that are out, excluding An Un-authorized Bigoraphy. They are actually pretty good, and them and the Redwall series are good reading to fill the time between Potter books... and, no one say any more about the books! I don't want the plot exposed to me! That's why I'm abondoning this link of posts!

They are boring, through and through.

Well, I don't have to think about how the new book will be, I finished it yesterday :P it took so long because people kept bothering =/

Overall, it was an exceptional book, different from the previous ones, as Harry is growing up, but nonethless a great book.

I haven't read any yet, but I plan to. I've heard a lot of positive reviews from adults (and in fact I still enjoy all the books I enjoyed as a kid). I also think it's great that, for the first time in a long time, a BOOK can get the same kind of attention that a movie or video game can get. It's a downright shame that so many people nowadays reach puberty or even adulthood without experiencing the joy of sitting down with a good book.

It's the blue thing clutched in the arms of the stinky thing in the bag in your basement. :)
