Also I noticed that for Astronomy, the more pages the book have, the more points we'll get.
My book Heredera de luna llena has 461 pages, that 'd get us 9 points, I'm just letting you all know, because I believe we should pick the books that'll give us more points ;), so if my book is useful, I'll read it.

Am I right?
Then I think we should complete that one asap =P

And I have a book for Indigo and a book for Astronomy in my kindle app, I can read them soon if needed.

and the other one is called Heredera de la Luna Llena (Luna is Moon in spanish)

I just read chapter 4, and I got pretty emotional when Hagrid talked about Lily and James😭
Also, the more I read this book, the more I notice how neglected was Harry as a child, it makes me really sad to think about him saying his firts words or taking his first steps and no one caring about him.

There's a book in Hogwarts that keeps track of every wizard and witch, it's called the Book of Admittance, and there's a magical quill, the Quill of Acceptance that writes down the name of every magical child as soon as he or she shows any sign of magic.
That's why Hagrid says that.
You can read more about them in Pottermore:

What ha..."
There's at least one thing missing in the HPPS section of that list.
In the early editions of the first book says that Marcus Flint, Slytherin's quidditch captain is in 6th year, JK said in an interview back in 2000, that he had repeated a year and that was why he was still captain in book 3
But the new editions changed it and say that Marcus Flint is in 5th year in book 1.
What I think is most interesting is that, even my book which is an spanish edition from 1998 has that "error" with the others that are mentioned in that list :P

for me xD), but only had the chance to read the extra material about Ravenclaw's House in my edition, I'm reading the 20 anniversary Bloombury hardcover edition, and it's so beautiful !
Today I got into the story, I'm just on chapter one, but I'm getting really nostalgic, I started to remember how my mother forced me to read this book when I was 11 back in 2001, I didn't want to hahaha, and now I'm soooo in love with the series xD
I don't know if any you had noticed that they NEVER say the word (view spoiler) until Hagrid tells Harry about it, I think that's very clever.

Also the actors that portrayed Victor Krum (Stanislav Ianevski) and Percy Weasley (Chris Rankin) are here, and as fan club we're meeting them today! I'm pretty excited, so I haven't had the chance to read that much yet 😬
But the place where Comic Con is taking place is an hour away, so I'll try to read while commuting.
Also, tonight I can help with the HP character list, by book and all that ;)
