J. K. Rowling Midnight Reading of Harry Potter and the Death

[ThePossessedChicken]

She should have been the one to read the audiobooks.

[Game1ngAssass1n]

Thumbs up if you followed along in your book...

[Thisistherealshit100]

I could listen to her read forever.

[HarryJamesPotter1478]

Did she read the whole book. Oh btw.

Harry potter + Twilight= ..... Fail NOT possible to complete.

[jwul28]

harry potter lighted my life. twilight is a commercial hit only.

[VioletDiamond42]

Oh, Jo... How much I love you. <3 And Snape. Lololololol.

[annie10103]

I love how silent it is. It's like J.K has enchanted everyone just with words.

[Dariganlion]

I love her accent :D

[Phangirl101]

The book just seems to sound... RIGHT in Rowling's voice. :D

[CShorty55]

Such a brilliant woman. Genius.

[000000poizen000000]

J.K Rowling has such a tremendous talent; Harry Potter is a religion to me. She inspires me to write but I know that neither I nor any other will ever rival her. I am but a mere mortal and she is my literary goddess!

[sinserto]

ehh.. screw that other series you guys..

let me go ahead and listen to my queen and her creation

[itskassayyyy]

Amazing I love her! She's so inspirational!

[MeggieMiami]

fuck you with your watchharrypotter blablabla. DON'T YOU LEAK HARRY POTTER!

[SocksNsnipers]

@AnnettaLory fuck off

[jellybeanmolly]

oh my god, listen to how she says 'malfoy.' :)

[JessicaHeartsBieber]

If Twilight was better than Harry Potter it would have it's own amusement park.

[HPLovinBelieber]

@pointzero118 I agree he could have used legilimency but veritiserum takes like a month make and snape was facing death anyways sorry I love nerd conversations:):) they're so entertaining ya no??:):) lol

[Imthebest1000000]

These books fucking suck ass

[Eloise13zzz]

I think that the fact Harry Potter is an English creation and Twilight-american, just shows which is the better country.

[mn91296]

she has a beautiful hand and a beautiful voice. congratulations on everything almost coming to and end. you changed many people's lives.

[auraflyvi]

She is such an amazing writter

[michaeljacksonfan130]

8 people are fan off the dursleys :)

[reddelicous1213]

Why people compare Harry potter and twilight, the world may never know. Honestly twilight is terribly written! And does jk Rowling have a purple streak?

[johnrko98]

no book beats the harry potter series

[pratt123]

Still think that the 6th and 7th books are not as good as books 1-5. (Especially 3 and 5)

[gabriellando]

J. K. Rowling isn't ugly at all!

[allisonforfornsed]

@gabriellando I agree, J.K. Rowling is a gorgeous woman.

[derobmai]

harry potter or twilight..whts the difference? we are all living in our own fantasy world. hw cn u compare them together? you are missing out the point in reading.

[ttlghost]

shaking my head in amazement, still not understanding how someone can have such fantasy and be so talented.

[aliahaliah]

as she read this, deathly hallows in hand,i too was reading with her.

British accent and all.

[Wonderlandagain]

Just because you have the most Harry Potter products, or have been to every single premiere, it doesn't mean that you are the bigger fan. We are all fans. It doesn't matter how many times you've read the books or how much stuff you own. As long as you love the books, all is well. ;)

[abedin120]

jessiebear is a sadoooo

[QuibblerReporterLuna]

I feel like one of those people who listen to the priest reading the bible. :P

[allyouneedislove37]

Harry Potter > Twilgiht

[PGmember]

@allyouneedislove37 you can't even spell twilight. twilight is that shit.

[itsmylife00002]

i don't understand why everyone is comparing Harry Potter. With twilight.twilight doesn't even deserve to mentioned in the same sentence as. Harry Potter. Harry Potter is a gift to mankind. twilight is not, it is common knowledge.

[gabriellando]

@itsmylife00002 I think The Lord of the Rings is a gift to mankind...

[itsmylife00002]

@gabriellando

Mankind was was given many gifts.

[ticleboof]

@itsmylife00002 im sorry but you just compared harry potter to twilight then....

it would be fine if you left it at i don't understand why everyone is comparing Harry Potter. With twilight. just saying (:

[itsmylife00002]

@ticleboof

true 

[Jyger85]

@itsmylife00002 Amen!

[VonBimoburg]

@itsmylife00002

Omg you don't know anything about human evolution!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You overly excited bastard!

[historydad38]

the last harry potter book just left me speechless because of it's greatness in my opinion.

[itsmylife00002]

@historydad38

i was left speechless as well.....

[Michyness2oo8]

Why are we comparing Twilight and Harry Potter?

They are completely different frigging books !

[Jessiebear31]

Read the whole series 10 times:D I'm one of HP's biggest fans:) I've gone to every midnight premeire, read every book 10 times, and has HP posters all over my bedroom walls:)

[clovermcm]

Three years ago exactly :)

[valley93girl]

this makes me want to read it again, even though i've read it twice!! Maybe I will before the movie comes out. Anyone rented the audiobook out? Is it worth it?

[bevreallysucks]

twilight is stupid and whoever likes it is stupid This is a stupid comment idc

[2rs2pure]

I dont want them to end lol I want more movies to see ! ;P

[FluXez00]

Vote: Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince for the 2010-mtv movie awards for best movie!!!

And help the actor/actresses for their nominates categories.

C'mon all you Harry Potter fans!

Lets help the Harry Potter franchise get the awards it deserves!

[DeathlyHallowsHP7]

ive read the whole twilight saga (half of breaking dawn but friends told me the rest) and ive read the Harry Potter saga 3 times and you can't even compare twilight to Harry Potter! Harry Potter definately wins :)

[mirokumasta]

i think that j.k rowling surpases many modern day authors, and is up their with some of the best authors of all time, even surpasing(imo) jr.tolken, who i dont believe deserved the respect he gets now.

[mrlilypotter]

Harry Potter saga most beautiful I've ever read. Great Rowling!!! are my myth. These fantastic books have given me a thousand emotions.

Thanks j.k Rowling

[AnimeAngel199]

I bet it's totally wierd for her to read her own book!

I bet she's all "..Oh shit did I really write that?!" I would be xD

[twilighter511]

This was filmed on my bday... i feel special

[DjDanger8]

She is such an amazing woman! It's fantastic... The way she was poor, and her flawless writing skills helped her work her way to the top.

[GUELCIN1994]

oh i wish i could be there,too!!to see her and to hear harry potter

[SlytherclawXD]

I wish I was there! ♥ it!

[Kitkat9795]

she only stumbled once, i would have at least 5 times. Its so magical when she reads. :D

[Peppepoppldoppl]

she fucking sucks.

[ttonksable]

it's so a magic moment!!

everyone's quiet...

jkr rocks!!  <3

[OooSPGooO]

Oh god !

I wanna read her books again *___*

[Borgmeister100]

does she read the entire book in one night or just the first chapter??

[NatschePatsche]

it's so magical when she says severus snape for the first time ^^

[amieHERSELF]

its magical when she reads it!

[pureinhart]

i was there :D:D:D

[frankael]

@pureinhart im so jelll!!!

[jumerry]

what is this Twilight vs HP fight all about ? If you read both stories, they have nothing in commun except being written for young readers and being best-sellers.

The biggest best-seller of all times is the Bible, and yet nobody comes to say "Harry Potter is way better than the Bible!!"^^ So seriously, keep your energy for useful things ;)

Apart from that, it's very nice to hear J.K. Rowling reading her own book, I feel like it's a bed-time story. It's great to listen to :)

[willis636]

@jumerry i do like her reading....except i like jim dale better

[jumerry]

I didn't know he read it, I'm gonna check this out too ;)

thanks :)

[MrSogeking1994]

i do think harry potters better than the bible

;)

no but seriously i do

(not christian)

[AlexCartlidge]

@MrSogeking1994 me too- and more realistic :P

[CreativeAndOTT]

@MrSogeking1994

[kittycat5261]

I love bost Twilight and harry potter but Harry potter is better. or atleast thats my thoughts

[Twigirl321]

I've read both many times through, and I agree, Harry Potters characters are more developed and the world of this mythical land comes to life

[vonDahl]

epic!

[8neo9]

yeah me too!

[lilmisschannee]

JK Rowling and her Harry Potter series made my life. Long live HP!!

[13Elphaba13]

HARRY POTTER IS BETTER THAN TWILIGHT , which is duuumb.

[rutvishah28]

totally agreed!

[MrCampap]

i wish that Hermione and Harry end up together, not Ginny and Voldemort killed violently by Harry. :) HARRY POTTER SERIES IS WAY BETTER THEN THAT STUPID TWILIGHT!!

[jelliapr]

ahhh jk rowling readin hp?! love it!

[TheSimpsonsMad]

OMG

How can people fall in love with Twilight, when theres Harry Potter?

I hate Twilight >:-(

HARRY POTTER IS THE BEST!

[framepaintingsalways]

I finished the book today i am really sad right now :[

[kylejanssen112]

me to

[nina9142]

did she read the whole book or just the first chapter?

[pinkpunk777]

Just the first chapter

[pasiphandra]

Ive read the twilight saga and the harry potter series, but you can't compare twilight to a universal masterpiece.  It doesnt stand to harry potter, it just doesnt.

[mirokumasta]

@pasiphandra

so very true. i enjoyed the twilight series, but the harry potter series beats it 10 fold,

[valley93girl]

@pasiphandra HARRY POTTER ISS WAAAYYY BETTER YOU JUST DONT APPRECIATE IT!!! J.K IS AWESOME STEPHENIE MYER IS WEAK!!!!! BREAKING DAWN SUCKS AND TWILIGHT!! NO HARRY POTTER BOOK IS BAD THEY ARE SO AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!! TWILIGHT IS NOT A UNIVERSAL MASTERPIECE!!! IT AINT EVEN CLOSE!!!!

[elconijo]

@pasiphandra it's not even the same kind of story. I dont know why people keep comparing the two. They're both great stories, however i cant bring myself to claim one above another. it just doesnt make any sense.

[Kostas1601]

Harry Potter >Twilight

So far at least, ive only read up to half of New Moon...

[adesa1]

I think that the closest thing to a new harry potter book is at afterhogwarts . com

I hope this helps....

[susielee318]

no, definatly not.

if the question is ever harry potter or twilight?

harry wins. everytime.

[marmartica]

no wayy no offence to any twilight fans (cuz I do like the books) but the movie was boogus. Movies always take away a little from the books but twilight was nothing like the book. I have to admit tho twilight was a good comedy hehe

[francoise5]

I agree with you, I am a big Twilight fan but I would never compare Harry Potter with Twilight.

[Manireltis]

Hehe, for me it was kinda strange... I didn't like the book, but I thought the movie was ok (at least the music) uu

[KillingBubbles]

WTF O_o

The movie for deathly hallows isnt even out -_-

[Manireltis]

XD hahaha Nooooooo! This comment of mine wasn't for this video..... Sorry ;p I did like the end of Harry Potter a lot haha

[KillingBubbles]

ohh okay xD

It could have been a better ending.

[maddona999]

wot did u write?

[shain003]

twilight can never ever match harry potter, it may be good.. but it just cant match the complexity of harry potter!

[pasiphandra]

there is no way

[SuzyHekamiah]

*-*

[JackaryWoo]

J.K Rowling proved that some young adult's book could be over 500 pages. Stephanie Meyer proved that some shouldn't.

[LyricalLies14]

agreed! a billion percent : )

[taniaface]

OHHH!!!!!!

[SnapeLilyLove7]

@JackaryWoo I can't believe you could even compare Rowling's masterpiece to Meyer's piece of crap. The Twilight series is a disgrace. It's things like those books that make me ashamed to be American.

[dabidosan]

@SnapeLilyLove7 Why in your opinion does Potter reign supreme over Twilight ( or atleast why does Twilight make you ashame to be an American?). This is a serious question. I realize you probably wouldn't have enough space to write your response. I have not read either book- as I am a non-fiction/technical reader. Just curious, that's all.

[SnapeLilyLove7]

@dabidosan Harry Potter has depth. Twilight is just all about falling in love and stupid fluff like that. I admit, Harry Potter does have some love and relationships, but that's not all what it's about. Harry and his friends have to go on this entire journey to destroy all the things that keep them from getting at Voldemort. Twilight is just... I don't even have words for how much I loathe it!

[kaiuycn]

@SnapeLilyLove7 Like you said, Twilight is all 'fluff'. The plot is non-existant, and the characters are shallow. Whereas in Harry Potter, every single sentence serves a purpose of either advancing the plot, or developing the characters. There is no fluff in Harry Potter.

[SnapeLilyLove7]

@kaiuycn Exactly. I wouldn't read Twilight if someone was threatening to cut off my legs with a rusty saw... (( ok MAYBE I would if that was the case, but you get my point... ))

[dabidosan]

@SnapeLilyLove7 Like the leg cutting scene in "Mad Max" or more like the Leg Cutting scene in "Saw".....just wondering your degree of amputation. ; )

[SnapeLilyLove7]

@dabidosan Hmm... well I haven't seen either of those movies, but whichever one looks more painful and bloody ; )

[valley93girl]

@SnapeLilyLove7 Dont read Twilight keep clear of it!! I've read.. read the third and second. last book is S.H.I.T!!

[SnapeLilyLove7]

@valley93girl I've read the whole saga ... it sucks

[kaiuycn]

@dabidosan Thing is, Harry Potter is a classic children's story about good versus evil. Twilight is about a teenage girl talking about how hot Edward is. Rowling has excellent prose, the plot is IMMENSELY deep, there are highly developed characters, and it takes place in a deep and complex magical world. Whereas, Meyer writes in the style of a 6th grader, has a flimsy plot, full of mistakes and loopholes, extremely shallow characters, and well, she hasn't developed the setting very much at all.

[dabidosan]

@kaiuycn Though I have not read either books....I would probably agree with your points....but PLEASE explain to me how is the the Twilight series the cultural phenomenom that it is? Even for a teenage love story I've been told it's terrible and too much of "Foo-Foo Hollywood" romance story.

[kaiuycn]

@dabidosan As said in South Park: "If one girl screams for something, it will make other girls scream, and then it grows exponentially until all girls within a 5 mile radius are screaming." This also holds true for Twilight, which is targeted specifically towards adolescent girls, who, coincidentally are also the group who are most effected by peer pressure. All it takes is for one girl to scream, then all the girls are screaming. Bit pathetic really.

[dabidosan]

@kaiuycn I do suppose that's the most logical answer I'm ever going to get. I'll agree.

Tom Bergeron: "Circle gets a square".

[bigd99999]

That is a big ass book to read in one sitting. I wonder how many hours it took to finish that.

[TheNYFlame]

she obviously didn't read all of it. just the first chapter...

[theblackparade133]

Godddd. I love Jo. Shes a genius. The Dark Lord Acending was a great way to open this book, especially since Snape was there ^_^

Its gonna be really interesting to see this on film

[SweetEmmaa]

Jo is such a genius (:

[vulkenstien]

she not she copyed willy the wizard

[tmdathug]

hope she stealed the story and must pay all her money ;)

[bowlingfreakgirl]

i love the comment about j.k and stephinie meyer that's pretty damn funny!!!!!!!!!! this video is effin genius i wish i'd been there and that she would read the whole series for all of us harry potter lovers!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DangerArtist]

AMAZING

[circlestream]

i just wish i could unread all the books and watch all the movies and the new one, then unsee all the movies and read all the books again!

[pookiehohn]

JKR rapes Stephenie Mayer(or whatever) every day!!!

[danutz1996]

of course she does! i don't know why do people like "Twilight"( i call it "toilet")... i tried to read it and it was soo boring! i even had a fight with one of my friends, because i told her that i h8 twilight~~~She annoys me everyday ( of my life), because she is obsessed, and she wants to rape edward cullen... i like harry potter, but i'm not obsessed with it, and i don't punch other people that don't like it ( i just post rude comments about them, lol!!!!)

[bowlingfreakgirl]

that's hilarious and i think that is the funniest thing that i have read in awhile!!! that just made my day!!!!

[musicasnannymayer]

this woman have a mind incrible!!!

[09nymphadora]

i really love harry potter i wiched it was until 10 but she only wrote 7 tsk3 wich the next story she will write is about harry potters son..

[tlayne587]

it's been quite some time since i've read this book....years, actually, but i still remember these words...amazing.

[lord262]

thank you so much to writen this book

[kto1313]

whats the difference??

[djman21696]

55,848 views ! thats good

[runer876]

shes is amazing

i cant wait until the movie comes out

[mankiller009]

she is a genius .

[curshteen]

Ahhh she bends her pages, that would drive me crazy

[FREAKYMUSIC47]

Women always write the best books :)

[danceteamV]

theirs a guy named jerry spinneli he writes awesome books but harry potters better i gotta say

[gauravdawg]

i prefer reading than listening

[mariakai]

i would've loved to have been there. but that's life. ^^

[XXXBOBINXXX1]

I've always wondered what JK Rowling wood write about now that she has finished with Harry Potter...what do u think?

[thereader18]

there is no better author than JK rowling She is better than Shakespeare!

[XXXBOBINXXX1]

She'll be rememberd like Shakespeare! Long live JK Rowling and Harrry Potter!

[drunkandangry]

Okay I understand that your a huge fan...so am I...she is phenomenal...but she is NOT better than Shakespeare...i mean she's not even comparable...let's be real here okay...Shakespeare is in a level so untouchable that even writers like J.K.Rowling cannot live up to it...it's impossible!!!

[GinnyStoleMyMan]

Yeah she's great and I really love her but no one can touch shakespear.

[Iamkl132]

Shakespeare's reputation has been killed thanks to all the exams based around his work!

Truman Capote's In Cold Blood is way better than any of Shakespeare's work. Ol' William's work has been dated for some time.

[someone0d]

Remember that everyone can have their own opinnion.

[drunkandangry]

precisely...and I was simply voicing my own...

[cupac82]

Agreed. JKR is my favorite author of all time and she's amazing, but unfortunately Shakespeare will probably always be #1.
