HP3 ch2 (view spoiler)[ the 3rd book was one of my favorites but I did not like the movie.

Loved what Harry did to Marge. (hide spoiler)]

[Jamie]

HP3 Ch 9 (view spoiler)[Percy should have let them treak the sleeping in the Great Hall like a slumber party. Spoil-sport! (hide spoiler)]

[Jamie]

HP3 Ch 11 (view spoiler)[I wish I knew what Lupin though about Sirius through this book, while training/talking to Harry. (hide spoiler)]

[[deleted user]]

HP3 chapter 5 (view spoiler)[ poor Harry. Being the only one reacting like that. And Longbottom telling people? I forgot that part. I would have been mad at him. (hide spoiler)]

[[deleted user]]

HP ch9 (view spoiler)[ I have always liked Snape. Even when people disliked him but the way he treats Harry and his friends in class when he was subbing for Lupin was pushing it.

Love Lupin and this book because we really start to learn about James and Lily and their past. (hide spoiler)]

[Jamie]

Done w/ HP3 (view spoiler)[I love how Sirius is all shocked with his rescue! And what Harry tells the Dursleys-LOL!. (hide spoiler)]

[[deleted user]]

HP 3 ch 11 (view spoiler)[ the firebolt scene. This was one of the scenes that they changed in the movie. But should have kept the same. (hide spoiler)]

Jamie wrote: "HP3 Ch 11 [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[ that would have been a nice touch. (hide spoiler)]

[Eesh]

HP1 End of ch-4
(view spoiler)[For some reason, I can help but be surprised that Hagrid can spell correctly. I guess it's because of the way he talks? Or maybe because he can't spell Voldemort. (hide spoiler)]

[Eesh]

HP1 Chapter 9
(view spoiler)[Man! I'd almost forgotten how annying Hermione was. She is the ultimate Know-it-all. (hide spoiler)]

[[deleted user]]

HP 3 -- Done -- (view spoiler)[ I feel like the 3rd book does not get as much love as the others do. But for me it's one of my favorites. We meet Lupin and Sirius. And start to really get to learn about Harry's parents and who they were.

The movie was changed too much in my opinion. I wish they would have stayed closer to the book. (hide spoiler)]

[Abby]

HP6 Chapter 6: (view spoiler)[Draco is just so fishy. Though isn't he always? (hide spoiler)]

[Eesh]

HP1 Chapter 14
(view spoiler)[It sucks that Harry didn't hear the conversation fully. Thing might have been clearer. And go Neville for taking on Crabbe and Goyle! Even if he did end up in the hospital wing. (hide spoiler)]

[Eesh]

HP1 Chapter 17 (start)
(view spoiler)[Wait, does that mean Quirrel was standing in front of the entrance for no reason, thinking that at the offchance Harry showed up, he could give his speech? That's a weird thing to do. (hide spoiler)]

[Eesh]

Done with HP1
I love that Harry shouted Voldemort's name after he finally got tired of everyone telling him not to. That's exactly what I would have done.

[Heather]

Is anyone reading HP3?

[Eesh]

I'm reading it on the 7th.

Chapter 1 HP Bk. 1(view spoiler)[ This is a reread for me and last time I took a big break in between reading this book. I'm hoping things will go better this time around. So far I really enjoy how the author set us up to not like the Dursley from the very beginning. Its a great way to start a book. (hide spoiler)]

[prag ♻]

HP 7
I'm randomly re-reading this, because out of all Harry Potter books, this one's my favorite. I simply love how everything comes together in the end.
Ch1, The Dark Lord Ascending
(view spoiler)[ Snape, the master of deception. Even though I know how it all ends, I find him so convincing. (hide spoiler)]

[Eesh]

HP2 Done with Chapter 5
(view spoiler)[It just had to be Snape, didn't it? Just like it had to be the womping willow. They have rotten luck. (hide spoiler)]

[prag ♻]

HP7
Magic is Might(view spoiler)[
Serves you right, Umbridge. Poor Moody's eye. This is something I've always wished Rowling had added- a scene where they actually find Alastor's body and hold a funeral. (hide spoiler)]

[prag ♻]

HP7 Godrics Hollow
(view spoiler)[I wish Ron was back already. Also, HERMIONE YOU HAVE GOT TO UNDERSTAND HARRY IS RIGHT ABOUT THE HALLOWS DINT YOU SEE THE PEVERELL/ HALLOWS CONNECTION (hide spoiler)]

[Eesh]

HP2 Done with Chapter 10
(view spoiler)[When's Lockhart gonna learn to shut up and stop doing things? He knows he's useless at everything and yet he can't stop blabbling. He really is very thick... (hide spoiler)]

[Eesh]

HP2 About 80% through Chapter 16
(view spoiler)[If they fell miles underground, shouldn't the acceleration be nough to, you know, kill them? Or at least injure them very much. How are they completely unaffected? (hide spoiler)]

[Eesh]

HP2 Through Chapter 17
(view spoiler)[After all this, Ginny is gonna be seriously traumatized. (hide spoiler)]

[prag ♻]

HP7 Finished
(view spoiler)[That epilogue. Oh my God. That epilogue kills me everytime I read it. It's just so beautiful. Oh, and Draco:)
(hide spoiler)]

[Eesh]

HP3 Through chapter 2
(view spoiler)[Is Harry gonna get punished for turning Marge into a life-size balloon? He shouldn't because it's not like he did it on purpose. But, at the same time, he got in trouble for magic he didn't even do in the last book so you never know. (hide spoiler)]

[Abby]

HP6 Chapter 15: (view spoiler)[So funny that Hermione is trying to make Ron jealous by taking Cormac to the party. Love is blossoming! (hide spoiler)]

[Eesh]

HP3 Done with Chapter 5
(view spoiler)[Harry so easily said, "Why would I go looking for someone who wants to kill me?" but when you think about it, that's exactly what he did in the previous two books. (hide spoiler)]

[onceuponatimeareview]

HP Bk. 1 pg.130

(view spoiler)[So far the book seems really slow. If i remember some it will pick up soon. I know it has the world building and we are learning as Harry is learning about the world. (hide spoiler)]

[Abby]

HP6 Chapter 19: (view spoiler)[Luna's commentary cracks me up! It's a shame McLaggen knocked Harry out though. (hide spoiler)]

[Katrina G]

Going to jump in here with the 6th book once I finish the book I'm reading now :)

[Eesh]

HP3 On chapter 15
(view spoiler)[Is it just me or have the last few chapters been really funny. Seriously, I'm constantly cracking up at everything. The map, Hermione's permanently about-to-snap state, Neville being... Neville and at everything that comes out of Ron or Fred or George's mouth. Not that I'm complaining. This book is loads of fun. (hide spoiler)]

[Katrina G]

HP6 Chapter 2 (view spoiler)[Snape is such a good liar. He has an answer for everything, and he seems so convincing (hide spoiler)]

[onceuponatimeareview]

HP1 Chapter 15 (view spoiler)[ As I remember the book has picked up a lot and I'm really getting into it. I love everything about it. I can't wait to finish the book. I can picture everything happening in my head clearly and there really isn't any confusion. The world building isn't hit on as much the second half which makes things really nice. A thing I notice this time and last time was the lack of a plot. I hope the next books will have a noticeable plot. (hide spoiler)]

[Katrina G]

HP6 Chapter 6 (view spoiler)[Hermione is so funny. She walked into that dark arts store all cheery and obvious and really hoped that was going to work. Well at least she tried. (hide spoiler)]

[Abby]

HP6 Finished: (view spoiler)[Look, I know Snape is 'good' and all, but he's still a major jerk. I sure do miss Dumbledore though. (hide spoiler)]

[onceuponatimeareview]

HP1 Finished (view spoiler)[ I think this book was better the second time I read it. Probably because I read through it without stopping. I can see why everyone enjoys this series. I really was hoping my four stars could changed into a 5 stars, but it hasn't. I love how Snape wasn't really the bad guy in this. (hide spoiler)]

[Eesh]

HP3 Through Chapter 15
(view spoiler)[Yes! Gryffindor Wins!
J.K. Rowling really knows how to get you in the team spirit. This chapter was just awesome! (hide spoiler)]

[Eesh]

HP4 Through Chapter 5
(view spoiler)[Weasleys' Wizard Weezes is the perfect business for Fred and George. (hide spoiler)]

[Eesh]

HP4 Through Chapter 8
(view spoiler)[The Weasley Twins won! Yay! Because thats all I cared about. I mean, Ireland winning is great and all but the Twins winning the bet was what mattered. They can use the money in their business. (hide spoiler)]

[Heather]

I am still only 32 pages into book 3 what's wrong with me?

[Eesh]

Heather wrote: "I am still only 32 pages into book 3 what's wrong with me?"

Laziness, distraction, procrastination or reading slump probably, depending on when you started the book.

[Katrina G]

HP6 Chapter 11(view spoiler)[Hermione cheating for Ron to get the Keeper spot is one of my favorite things from the whole series to be honest lol (hide spoiler)]

[Eesh]

HP4 Done with Chapter 18
(view spoiler)[Harry is being quite stubborn when it comes to Ron, which I get since he didn't do anything wrong. Ron is just being an idiot. Hermione needs to take a breather with the house-elf revolution and think for a second. (hide spoiler)]

[Katrina G]

HP6 Chapter 27 (view spoiler)[NOOOO!!! Even though I knew it was going to happen, Dumbledore's death still makes me so so so sad. I remember the first time I read this it made me cry (hide spoiler)]

[Eesh]

HP4 Through Chapter 32
(view spoiler)[I think I hate Wormtail more than Voldemort. I mean Voldemort is a bad, power-hungry dude who does bad, power-snatchy things. Wormtail is pathetic, loathsome and cowardly and I can't stand him. Can someone kill him now, please? (hide spoiler)]

[Heather]

Why?"

No idea! I have been reading other books in the fantasy genre but I still haven't moved my bookmark not even 1 page from where I was! I may try it again after I finish Scarlet!
