Do you want to read Prisoner of Azkaban? I'm not in a hurry to get to it, so any time is fine for me to start.

YYess! I was so glad about Dobby. But one thing I'm quite confused about, is since Harry is Parseltongue, why didn't he just speak to the basilisk during the battle? That confused me...

I would love to read #3. I have other buddy reads, one starting today, one on the 26th, and one on Dec 4th! So how about in December? That might be a busy month for me of course but I should probably still have time to read.

[C.P.]

Yeah, December is fine.

Yeah, I wonder why he didn't speak to the snake. Maybe because he knew it would listen to Tom over him? Not really sure.

Do you want to say the 10th December to start book #3?

[Meghan]

Yeah! So that was confusing, but it's whatever haha.

Can we start #3 on the 12th?

The 12th works for me!

[Meghan]

Perfect! Can you ask for the thread to be updated, I am on my phone right now. :)

[C.P.]

Yep. :)

[Meghan]

Thanks!! Yay!

[Meghan]

Can we move this to the 17th, CP?

[C.P.]

Yes, if you need to that's fine. :) I have a bunch of others around the same time that will keep me occupied.

[Meghan]

Okay. Yes that would be very helpful!

[C.P.]

Perfect. 17th it is then. :) This has always been my favorite, so I'm looking forward to seeing if it still is.

[Meghan]

I'm so excited to get into it for the first time readin it! :)

[C.P.]

Is today still good for you, Meghan?

[Meghan]

Yes!! I'm finishing up another book today as well but I'm still gonna read a bit of this afterwards. ☺️

[C.P.]

Awesome! The first three chapters are about 48 pages so I'll plan to read that much.

[Meghan]

Sounds perfect!

[C.P.]

Ok. Read three chapters. Everything happens so quickly in these! I do like that we get thrown right into the story. It just seems a lot faster than it did when I first read this at ten.

[Meghan]

I'm sorry I was only able to read one chapter! I'm sorry, today was way busier than I anticipated! I will catch up! I liked the first chapter though. Glad Harry got some gifts.

[C.P.]

No problem! Just let me know how many you're able to read tomorrow and we can keep paced with each other. :)

[Meghan]

How about through chapter five??

[C.P.]

That works!

[Meghan]

Cool! I just finished it! (view spoiler)[ okay I just say that something is going on with Lupin! I think it's weird the the little sneak gadget (sorry I forgot what it's called already) lit up around him too though. I wonder what's up with Harry and his collapse when he saw the Dementor... very weird, especially when he heard the scream. But I can't already tell this is going yo be very good :) (hide spoiler)]

[C.P.]

Through chapter five. (view spoiler)[I really want Crookshanks. And am I the only one who finds Dumbledore overrated? There hasn't been much indication of his greatness so far in the series..

The dementors are super creepy. Lupin seems pretty cool though. I wonder what's with him and Snape. (hide spoiler)]

[C.P.]

Meghan wrote: "Cool! I just finished it! [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[Good point, the sneakascope did light up around him...The dementor seemed to affect Harry and Ginny most, so there must be something to that.

This was always my favorite and I am really enjoying so far this time! (hide spoiler)]

[C.P.]

Do you want to read the next two chapters today? And if we get through those we could do another.

[Meghan]

I'm going to be travelling (I think like 2 hours on an airplane but then we have a 2 hour layover or something like that so I'm going to have a lot of time to read!) But yes, that will be fine to start with the two chapters and then I can let you know after that how much free time I have left by then, or whatever. :) 2 chapters then we can wing it! Haha!

(view spoiler)[I think maybe whatever problem Snape had with Lupin may have something to do ith why the Sneakascope lit up around him? (hide spoiler)]

[C.P.]

Feel free to read as much as you can/want to. I can easily catch up if needed. :)

Could be.

[Meghan]

Okie doke! I may or may not decide to pick up another book (I'm bringing five Hahah) on the plane. :)

[C.P.]

Through chapter 7. (view spoiler)[Fred and George have always been my favorites. It's great that they are so funny but also that they care about their family and friends. How they handled the talk of the dementors was perfect.

Snape is so horrid. There are things I appreciate about him, but he shouldn't treat people like that.

The first lesson with Lupin was cool. And Hagrid's lesson was even good, as long as Malfoy doesn't get him fired. (hide spoiler)]

[Meghan]

I read through page 172!

[C.P.]

Awesome!

[Meghan]

Ok I finished chapter nine! (view spoiler)[ ok so that was intense! I'm thinking whatever the dementors are making Harry hear and feel might be his mother screaming? I can't be sure though. Just a thought! I wanna know what you think about that when you get there! (hide spoiler)]

[C.P.]

Through chapter 9. (view spoiler)[Ok, so what is the potion that Lupin is taking? And why is it ok for Snape to be so rude to the students?

Sirius Black attacking the Fat Lady was crazy. I wonder how he's getting in and out of the school...

And why were the dementors on the Quiddich pitch? I can't believe his broom got destroyed though. (hide spoiler)]

[Meghan]

Ahhh! I just finished chapter 12! (view spoiler)[I have a theory!! Do you think LUPIN could possibly be
Sirius black?? Once you get here let me know what you think! It makes perfect sense to me!
I don't have a computer to look at your spoilers, ahh! (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ I think he definitely has a secret but I don't think he's a bad guy. He did try to help Harry on the train. But the Quirrel didn't seems like a bad guy either. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ I'm surprised Snape is helping Lupin. Dumbledore has to be making him but it makes me wonder why Dumbledore likes Lupin so much. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ That makes a lot of sense, but wouldn't he have access to Harry/the painting passwords if he were? I feel like there is something between them though like one tried to kill the other or something. (hide spoiler)]

[Meghan]

I'll be reading through chapter thirteen tonight.

[Meghan]

I finished!!!

[C.P.]

Chapter 13 or the book? I'm through ten. Should be able to read more today/tomorrow. Once I have a chance to sit and read it goes really quickly.

Do you want to plan and read book 4 after this one?

[Meghan]

Yes I finished the book. Sorry for being unclear :)
No rush! I'm not sure. I don't think I'm gonna read it right away.

[Meghan]

We can do it next month for sure I think.

[C.P.]

Yeah, not right away. So any time next month is fine. :)

[Meghan]

Ok I will have to let you know!

[C.P.]

That's fine. You can always message me when you're ready. :)
