it was close between that one and the last book

Achilles

I thought Goblet of Fire was the best one.  

And to tie it to the Twilight factor, Edward died.

I didn't see this until I expanded the imgur album, but I like this: 

Chryenth

I liked Order of the Phoenix. Badassery occured. Azkaban was probably second best.

Berenene

Wasn't Azkaban the movie where they used a different director or producer or something who wanted to take the movie in a different direction then the other 2? He said he wanted to make it darker or something. It could have been that.

Personally, I couldn't stand Phoenix.  Harry became a whiny little emo in that book. So many times I wanted to reach in there and either give him a tissue to because he kept crying that his friends didn't write to him or just smack him about the face and shake him silly to get him to snap out of his emo stupor.

Chryenth

This is true. Then things got less emo and more HOLY - SPELLS EVERYWHERE for a while, which I liked.

End of Hallows qualifies as well, yes.

Daslin

I liked the final book. Just the mental image I got of Molly screaming, "NOT MY DAUGHTER! YOU BITCH!" God, I was so like... WTFTHISISAWESOME!!! Then the movie kinda downplayed what I had in my head. Sad times.

I admit to have tried my hand in writing fanfiction. I stopped after a few paragraphs.

Several men are in the locker room of a golf club. A cell phone on a bench rings and a man engages the hands-free speaker- function and begins to talk. Everyone else in the room stops to listen.

MAN: “Hello”

WOMAN: “Honey, it’s me. Are you at the club?”

MAN: “Yes”

WOMAN: “I’m at the mall now and found this beautiful leather

coat. It’s only $1,000. Is it OK if I buy it?”

MAN: “Sure, go ahead if you like it that much.

“WOMAN: “I also stopped by the Mercedes dealership and saw the new 2007 models. I saw one I really liked.

“MAN: “How much?

“WOMAN: “$65,000.

“MAN: “OK, but for that price I want it with all the options.

“WOMAN: “Great! Oh, and one more thing. The house we wanted last year is back on the market. They’re asking $950,000.”

MAN: “Well, then go ahead and give them an offer, but just offer $900,000.

“WOMAN: “OK. I’ll see you later! I love you!

“MAN: “Bye, I love you, too.”

The man hangs up. The other men in the locker room are looking at him in astonishment.

Then he smiles and asks: “Anyone know whose phone this is?”

Three fishermen come back from the sea, celebrating the catch of the day. They land their boat and set up camp. After much drinking (rum?), each collapses in their respective tent. Fisherman #1 wakes up and, after relieving himself, decides to get his share of the catch. He counts the fish, realizes it is not a number divisible by three, throws away one fish to the sea correcting the situation, and takes a third of the remaining fish into his tent. Fisherman #2 wakes up later, goes to pee too, and also decides he is going to get his share of the catch. Unaware that Fisherman #1 already took his part, Fisherman #2 wants a third of the fish he sees. It is not a multiple of three, but he throws away one fish and takes a third of the fish and goes to sleep. Fisherman #3 wakes up after, and does the same: he throws away one fish, takes a third of the fish, and goes into his tent.

What is the smallest number of fish for which this would happen?

Sena

If you assume that there has to be a positive number of fish (even though that's boring), I'd say 7, because it doesn't actually say that Fisherman #2 and #3 get an evenly divisible amount by throwing away one fish. If they do though, 25.

With the possibility of negative fish though, if throwing away one fish does leave it evenly divisible every time, there's no "smallest number" because every 27th number (starting at -2) is a valid solution.

Iocun

25?

EDIT: Aw, ninjad by Sena.

Btw. can there be imaginary numbers of fish too?

Sena

Also, depending on how much they had to drink, there could have been 6 fish and Fisherman #1 was just too hungover to count properly.

Berenene

I knew it. @Sena is Vi Hart!
