Hey ho!
Unfortunately I have no more space for PM's, so I have to answer here.
I think it's even better to write here, because it would be wasteful to create a threat that you don't use 
By the way, I think listening to english language is conductive to learn it, because it is hard to understand english people talking in their normal way.
For that you should watch the Harry Potter movies in english. In my opinion they are very easy to understand. It makes a lot of fun! And Hagrid's accent is awesome!
Best regards,
Lil

I've seen the Potter-movies soo often in english and It's right, listening to english is even better than only write, but this here is a good start I think! ^^
Btw: Hagrids voice is really unique.

Yeah, Mine Weasley is right!
When I watch it in english and some of my friends are coming in, I translate in german while watching because they don't understand a single word!
So, i would be happy to discuss HP in english on this thread, because it would be more fun to discuss with a couple of people and not only via PM 
like I wrote before my in-post is always full
So, what's the subject we are discussing first? Maybe how the Dursleys behave? That would be a good chance to learn some adjectives like bad, evil, poor, violent and rowdy!
Because we should save things like horrible, gruesome, sadistic and deranged for Miss-pink-kitty-Umbridge!
Best magical regards 
Lil

Yes, I think it was stupid with the PM! ^^
To write in this thread makes more sense!
We can sort the subjects in the order of the books.
As you have said, we should begin with the dursleys ... I hate them! And all the adjectives that you, HauselfeLilian, have used are so appropriate!
Dudley is the most disgusting boy I know xD
Oh ... but Petunia ... somehow I like her ... She's funny, okay, and also nasty to Harry, but Harry I don't like! ^^
Harry is so unkind to his friends! 
Well, now you!

Yap, you can't get worse than Diddy-pumkin!
Ahm, maybe Umbridge. She's the character I hate most. But we'll get to that later.
But I think Dudley isn't the worst character of that family at all, because you can see it as "normal" when two boys in this age are fighting against each other. And you can't blame Dudley for beating Harry, because he learned it that way from his parents.
In my opinion the parents are the most terrible people in the world. How can you treat an innocent child in the way they do? They take out their whole anger on Harry. I mean, he's a baby, he's the baby of Petunias sister! And they treat him as if he was a freak or a monster or something other ugly and stupid. Okay, maybe you are a freak in the eyes of a muggle if you are a wizard, but that's really no reason to behave like that.
Do you remember that scene, when aunt Petunia wants to beat him with that pan? This is child abuse! The child welfare office would take Harry from his relatives, if they hear about that. But somehow NOBODY seems to care about poor little Harry in his childhood not even the teachers in school or the neighbours. How could that be? It's impossible that they all theink he's a freak!
Like you see, this is a subject which gets me very emotional
I can't see, not even READ about children who are beaten by the people who should care about them.
You can just call me Lil. Everything else takes too much time to write
Best Regards! 
edit: And don't say you are stupid! 
edit 2: I dont' like Harry, too. I was so angry, when I read Order of the Phoenix!

Oh, yes. In Order of the phoenix Harrys behavior was so idiotic! ^^
And I promise I don't call myself stupid again! 
By chance I read that with the child abuse only yesterday. Because I decide to read all the books again ... for the thousandth time! xD (Can you tell me if I make mistakes in English? ^^ Because I have the feeling that the whole text is wrong. 
)

Hey!
Not only in OdtP! When it's time to do something important, Harry is so dogmatic and bosses just everyone around! But we will come back to that later.
Of course I can correct you. No problem at all. But in my eyes your english is very good.
I'm sometimes perfectionistic in the order of the words in a sentence, but I think you're doing okay
The only mistake I found is: decide - it would be decided, because when you started reading yesterday, you didn't decide today to reread everything
I reread the books every year in winter, because it is so nice to sit on your couch in front of the heated stove with a cup of tea and lebkuchen and the book, while the snow is falling outside 
Besides I read the whole books in seven days, so somtimes I read them two or three times in winter
I'm really impressed that your english is so good in the age of - *looking* 16?
I mean, I'm on fairs in Paris and writing enlish emails and phoning in english nearly everyday, and I know people doing the same with such horrible language that you are thinking about running against a wall if you hear them.
So, next subject. I think, we are done with the Dursleys in the first book. There is not much to say, than they are horrible!
What do you like to discuss next?
(I know, i write soooooooo much
)
Lil

Hello,
I'm sorry for intervening in your disscussion, but I wanted to know, if I could attend your talk?
In my opinion Harrys' behaviour in the fifth book is really unfriendly. Though it was not his friends' fault, that he had been alone all time long in the holidays, he's shouting at them. That's not what I would call 'friendly'.
But that's not the topic at the moment.
Like I saw, you are talking about the Dursleys now?
Like you, Puroduroo, I think, too, that Petunia is maybe most pleasant of this family. Probably Dudley is also not as bad as he seems, because in the end he's nice to Harry, though he has been nasty along all these years.
Kind regards,
Kathi

Thanks.
You've forgotten to mention that she has a face like a horse (like Harry told us a few times^^).
What about talking about ?
I know that theme is disscussed very often and I'm sure that you would find a thread about it here, but I like this topic.
It's your decision.

Yes, I think we are through with the subject. (Can I say that in English?)
And yes, I think the next subject should be "The Wesleys"! ^^
Okay, Kathi, You begin, because of your name!! xD

Yes, I think, you can.
But you could also say (in my opinion): "I think we finished the disscussion about this subject."
Although it's nearly the same as you said, but it's maybe good to know other opportunities. Of course, your version is right, too.
That's exactly what I suspected...
Okay. So the Weasleys are a very big family, like we know.
Maybe I should list them:
Molly, Arthur, Bill, Charlie, Percy, Fred, George, Ron, Ginny.
So I think, you began with the first book, didn't you?
What about asking, passage with the Weasley family you like most? And , of course, too, because that's good practice for you, if you want to learn something.

I love all the preparations for the wedding of Fleur and Bill!
It's so funny, because you can actually feel the stress wich Mrs Weasley creates meanwhile! ^^ I love Mrs Weasley. She's such a great and lovely person and ... yes sometimes she's annoying but ... It's just !
Oh, and I think that Rupert Grint is a great actor and the perfect man for the role as Ron! xD
Although it has nothing to do directly with the Weasleys, but I had to say^^
Now have fun reading my hieroglyphics! xD
