I loved this part! After I realized what JKR had done I started to learn all the meanings of flowers.

I just started mt re-read of this one and I was wondering if anyone else is just creeped out by Lockhart. In the books and in the movie he just a fat bag of nope.

I finished the book this morning. I always feel bad for Harry at the end. He discovered this amazing world and made real friends, now he needs to go back to the Dursley's. I really dislike his aunt and uncle.

the Child Finder is amazing, so is her other book The Enchanted. I love both of them and always recommend them
