I haven't started re-reading yet, but I remember the pie, I had so much fun reading that part the last time!
Also, Dali is adorable=) I didn't get to read her spin-off last time, but I might do so this time around.
I remember this book as being the moment where we really start to focus on Kate's past and what/who she is.

I'm starting tomorrow, had to delay a bit=)

Just finished the book. (view spoiler)[The chapter where the echos erupt from Voldemort's wand always makes me tear up. The emotions when Harry sees his parents and when Diggory asks him to take his body back..it is just heartbreaking... (hide spoiler)]

I haven't gotten a copy yet=(

Team Remus Lupin

1. Angelina Johnson - She is a lesser character, but she is athletic, brave and is a great Quidditch player. She was the only one from Gryffindor who put her name in the Goblet of Fire.She also went to the Yule Ball with Fred Weasley...*swoon* :P

2. Remus Lupin - Not because I am on his team:P He is exactly the kind of teacher I would want. Understanding, pushes his students just enough to challenge them, makes school interesting. He is also a loyal friend.

3. The Weasley twins - They are just awesome! Fun, mischief and laughter. They tease their siblings and each other mercilessly, but they are completely devoted to their family when it counts.

Yes I did. Sorry forgot to post it in read books."

I see that not many people have started reading this one yet. Maybe you can pop by later on and discuss the book a little when more people join=)

No worries, just noticed that there wasn't a BR link in the tracking sheet;)

I find that I don't really like the book version of Krumm. (view spoiler)[He is acting like a teenager, which he is, trying to get Hermione's attention away from Harry. He acts jealous, believing rumors. He doesn't come off as that smart. I thought of him as the strong, silent type in the movies, but in the book he has a bigger part, more lines, and it is not very flattering. However, I think it is very sweet that he has a crush on Hermione;) (hide spoiler)]

I'm surprised Harry's jealously makes him wait so long to take ..."

I'm not quite sure why Harry is postponing (view spoiler)[figuring out the egg. It is as if he tries to put the second trial out of his mind by not figuring out what it is. Luckily for him he is surrounded by friends (human, ghosts and houselves alike) who are willing to help.

The fact that he didn't want to leave anyone behind down in the lake and took the song seriously might be credited to his age, he is only 14. I think it is also a part of his personality to never leave anyone behind, no matter what situation. (hide spoiler)]

Is this a three books in one? In that case you need to have them as three separate books, just as it says in the rules.

Katherine, you can only use the first letter in the title. And please take a look at the first post in this thread, there you see all the info we want you to include when posting read books.

EDIT: Can you also add a read date on Thandi's Love, it doesn't say on your shelf.
And how many pages were your book? Amazon says both 294 and 442. I know it doesn't say on GR page, but we can ask a librarian to fix that.

Just FYI : The Mods will place reserve players this weekend, based on books read/points on all the teams. We are doing quite well so I don't think we will get any new players. But in order for the numbers to be correct, I will have to fill in our proper spreadsheet as much as possible by Friday. So you might find your book on a place where you didn't intend it to go, but we are allowed to shuffle around afterwards, it is just a preliminary set up=)

I like the creativity on the team!

The angel wings might work, I'll let Judith think on that one in between her crazy work:P

Finn, gills or sharp teeth might be good options if we have a dangerous predator on a mysterious island at sea:P But the antlers is a must! Just imagine a bunny with antlers=) ( I think it must be an oversized bunny as well!)

Spreadsheet updated

Jenny wrote: "I'm sure we can find another wing source- dragon, owl, eagle, etc.

Let's make the bundeergonbeakkitty a fierce creature that is hard to tame or capture, so we can use a book with a good review.
..."

hah, I just mentioned to Judith that perhaps we should make our bunny a dangerous creature:P

Any name suggestion?

The rating the reader gives the book is the one that counts, so if we want the 4 or 5 stars classification, the book has to be rated as such. (I just copied and pasted from the classes thread, sorry for not explaining better...)

Feeding: I just read a Kate Daniels where a werewolf ate a steak, maybe our bunny likes steak too, since it is dangerous and all?:P

Suggestion for Uses: Many of the HP books mentions blood and potions, so we could say that the blood is used in potions?
