Chapter 17: (view spoiler)[I always love that moment when Harry realizes that Sirius is his legal guardian and that he can live with him from now on. No more Dursleys. It’s just a few moments he thinks it but he has to be so happy. And Ron realizes that Scrabbers is not really a rat. I’m disgusted by Pettigrew once again. (hide spoiler)]

The End: (view spoiler)[What I’m wondering now, doesn’t Snape know that Hermione is using a time-turner? I mean, the teachers have to realise at some point that one of their students is going to ALL their classes, even when they are at the same time. I mean, the other students realized it but didn’t know what a time-turner is, so they didn’t suspect it, but Snape has to know about this right? And he suspects Harry of helping Sirius, so he could do the math. But maybe there’s something I’m overseeing here. (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 30: (view spoiler)[Filtch is horrible lol. He gets so gleeful about whipping children. Why is he working at Hogwarts??? Also, Fred & George have excellent skills in leaving. Love that they bond with Peeves over torturing Umbridge. (hide spoiler)]

[Jenn]

Finished: (view spoiler)[ Oh Dumbledore. This is the book where you realize how human Dumbledore really is -a powerful wizard yes, but human as well. And his blind spot is Harry. While this isn't one of my favorites of the series, there are parts that hurt me and parts that I love. RIP Sirius, you deserved more. (hide spoiler)]

[Lesa]

Chapter 6
(view spoiler)[ that dang uncle and Aunt of his. Glad Ton had a plan to save Harry buy that dang elf ugh. At least he's back at Hogwarts with his friends, but of course flying a car wasn't going to make things better for him lol. Well popular does help I guess. (hide spoiler)]

[Lesa]

Chapter 7-11
(view spoiler)[ Lockhart just loves the same but he can't do anything he writes about lol. Malfoy buying himself on to the team....oh Harry talking to a snake not cool in the eyes of the students.... (hide spoiler)]

[Jenn]

Chapter 6: (view spoiler)[Oh Harry, just determined to catch Draco with something. I'll admit, he's being shady but you're obsessing lol. I also love how Ginny is so carefree around Harry now. I love seeing her personality shine through. Also, Fred and George's shop <3 (hide spoiler)]

[Lesa]

Chapter 12-14
(view spoiler)[ Harry investigation lead to Hagrid. Not cool. But you can see Mr. Malfoy is enjoying it as he takes Hagrid away....smh... (hide spoiler)]

[Lesa]

Finish
(view spoiler)[ interesting mystery with finding out who opened the chamber of secrets. Poor Hagrid had to go through being blamed again. Ending was fun especially when Lockhart spell backfired on himself lol. (hide spoiler)]

[Lane]

Chapter 6 (view spoiler)[ Hermione is going to actually lose her mind in all of these classes. I had completely forgotten that there were a whole slew of hippogriffs and not just Buckbeak. (hide spoiler)]
Chapter 10 (view spoiler)[ Trelawney is so creepy! And kind of mean... I love how shady McGonagall is being towards her. (hide spoiler)]
Chapter 15 (view spoiler)[ I love that Quidditch was such a huge focus of this book. Dumbledore hasn't really been in it at all. I would have loved to see Malfoy and co. when they got that patronus sent to them lol (hide spoiler)]
Finished (view spoiler)[ This book is actually so traumatic. Sirius never got to grieve the loss of his friends and life, and now he has to leave Harry too. Glad Ron got a new pet though. (hide spoiler)]

[Lara]

Chapter 10: (view spoiler)[ Harry always gets up to something in the hospital wing!! I'm loving how fast-paced these early books are, already the petrification is getting out of control! (hide spoiler)]

[Lara]

Chapter 15: (view spoiler)[ I remember thinking that the plot of this book was quite similar to the first, but it's actually really clever. I love the way that all of the puzzle pieces come together, and the Chamber of Secrets itself is such a great concept! (hide spoiler)]

Finished: (view spoiler)[ I loved the finale of this book! All of the loose ends are wrapped up well, and it was quite a fast paced read. (hide spoiler)]

[Jenn]

Chapter 16: (view spoiler)[ Oh the Hermoine and Ron love story begins here. I really love how we're getting Voldemort's back story. It adds so much more to the character and makes him more real then just some mythical villain. Also, Percy is still an ass. (hide spoiler)]

[Jenn]

Chapters 21: (view spoiler)[Harry's obsession with Malfoy is growing. I love when we get snippets with Dobby. He just wants to make Harry happy. So of course he jumps at the chance to follow Malfoy for Harry. Also, Harry better get on this Slughorn business. He needs to find the missing memory! (hide spoiler)]

[Lara]

Chapter 9: (view spoiler)[ So I know that this wasn't the main point of the scene, but I love this sleepover in the school hall! It's such an interesting setting, but I really wish there had been more banter in it! (hide spoiler)]
Chapter 15: (view spoiler)[ The last thing he needed was another near-fatal accident, with the Quidditch final drawing ever nearer." - I just LOVE how obsessed everyone is with Quidditch in this novel! I mean, obviously it plays a role in all the books, but everyone in this book would rather die than lose a game, and I love it so much!!! (hide spoiler)]
Chapter 19: (view spoiler)[ So many revelations coming all at once!! I still can't put it down at this point!! It's really cool to see the Peter Pettigrew storyline playing out! (hide spoiler)]
Finished: (view spoiler)[ LOVE THIS BOOK!! Number 7 has always been my favourite of the series, but this reread may have me change my mind, because this one is even better than I remembered it being! (hide spoiler)]

[Jenn]

Finished: (view spoiler)[ Ahhhh. So much happens at the end of this book that it's almost like if you blink you miss it. But the main thing is Dumbledore's death. Like I still can't believe it and it's been years since I first read it. (hide spoiler)]

[Ritika]

25% (view spoiler)[The starting of this one is always the hardest for me, seeing Harry so incredibly sad about not receiving word from Ron and Hermione, wondering if they've forgotten me! Dobby sure has a weird way of showing his good intentions (hide spoiler)]

[Ritika]

50%

(view spoiler)[I forgot the Kwikspell thing in Filch's office, and Harry is such a sweetheart for agreeing to go to Nick's party! Lockhart is so annoying, I always forget how in the face his stupidity it! (hide spoiler)]

[Ritika]

75% (view spoiler)[Riddle is really an asshole man, punishing Hagrid for being kind just so he could get what he wanted. (hide spoiler)]

[Ritika]

100% (view spoiler)[I forgot how less dramatic the chamber of secrets scene is in the book than in the movie! But the part where Dumblebore tells him about Gryffindor's sword and Harry realizes he is a true Gryffindor always makes me so happy. And Harry freeing Dobby is one of the most iconic Harry Potter things for me. (hide spoiler)]

[Lee]

Chapter 2 (view spoiler)[ I will never get over how awful the Dudley's are to Harry. Aunt Marge was no better either. No wonder Harry blew her up. (hide spoiler)]
Chapter 7 (view spoiler)[ Lupin is so precious. He really needs to be protected at all costs. 10/10 deserves the world. (hide spoiler)]
Chapter 15 (view spoiler)[ The amount of Quidditch throughout this book honestly makes me so happy. Everyone is so focused and concentrated on it. It's excellent. (hide spoiler)]
Finished (view spoiler)[ I loved this so much. The sixth one has been my favorite, but this really may have changed my mind. The characters fighting and growing. Saving Buckbeak and Sirius. I loved it all! (hide spoiler)]

[Jenn]

Chapter 4: (view spoiler)[ HEDWING NOOOOOOO :( How dare they!!! (hide spoiler)]

[Jenn]

Chapter 10: (view spoiler)[ That moment when you never thought you would feel sorry for Kreacher. The story of Regulas is really sad. The Black family is just cursed in this series. (hide spoiler)]

[✨Skye✨]

Up to chapter 10 (view spoiler)[ I love this part when Harry first gets introduced to the Order of the Phoenix and Grimmauld Place. It's also always nice to see Fudge get totally out-argued by Dumbledore at Harry's trial! So satisfying! (hide spoiler)]

[✨Skye✨]

Up to chapter 25 (view spoiler)[ The scene where Harry sees Mr Weasley being attacked always creeps me out. On re-reading as an adult, I think it's even worse how Dumbledore treats Harry in this book. As much as I love Sirius, he is actually pretty childish and reckless though. Hermione is just the voice of reason xD I find Cho/Harry's encounters pretty cringey tbh. (hide spoiler)]

[✨Skye✨]

Up to chapter 35 (view spoiler)[ It's so satisfying seeing Umbridge taken down by the centaurs, but they frustrate me at the same time! So much of this could be avoided with communication and they'd never have to go to the Ministry:( (hide spoiler)]

[✨Skye✨]

End (view spoiler)[ It's so heartbreaking seeing Harry's grief. Sirius was such a vibrant, rich, flawed character. So much potential from him :( At least by the end of this the Ministry knows Voldemort is back. (hide spoiler)]

[✨Skye✨]

Up to chapter 11 (view spoiler)[ I really love this one! I love how Harry excels at potions with the use of the book, although Hermione is irritating me with her jealousy over it. I like seeing Dumbledore more and Slughorn is an annoying but very interesting character. (hide spoiler)]

[✨Skye✨]

Up to chapter 17 (view spoiler)[ I love the scene with Scrimgeour when he says he's Dumbledore's man through and through! Ron and Lavender are so cringey though. I can see why Hermione and Ron think Harry is a little crazy for suspecting Malfoy with so little evidence, even if he does turn out to be right. (hide spoiler)]

[✨Skye✨]

Up to chapter 24 (view spoiler)[ I love the Felix Felicis part, Harry always deserves some luck. I think Slughorn is good deep down as well. Dumbledore's excitement that he got it always gets me too. (hide spoiler)]

[✨Skye✨]

Done (view spoiler)[ Dumbledore's death is traumatic, but it's good to see so many people respected him. I sympathise with Malfoy more on this reread than before. I hate seeing Harry and Ginny split too, even if it's for the best for now. (hide spoiler)]

[— Massiel]

I'll start reading from

[Gabi]

Chapters 1-12

(view spoiler)[ So I've FINALLY started this one this month. I've tried to read this book three times. Three, but after I got past 100 pages, things started brightening up. I think it's when we get to Hogwarts that things turn magical, which, you know, makes sense. (hide spoiler)]

[Gabi]

Chapter 13

(view spoiler)[ I love learning about Dumbledore's past, even if it's only a little bit, like with Nicolas Flamel.

Now I'm really looking forward to the new Fantastic Beasts movie with a younger Dumbledore in it. (hide spoiler)]

[Gabi]

Chapter 14-15

(view spoiler)[ Oh, I loved Hagrid with Norbert XD

And the whole forbidden forest scene has to be one of my favorites. I loved how pale Malfoy gets, actually showing he's afraid for once, but not afraid enough to not try to freak out poor Neville. (hide spoiler)]

[Gabi]

Chapter 16-17

(view spoiler)[ First of all, Neville does not deserve all the grief he's getting. I know part of it he kind of accidentally inflicts on himself, but he's such a sweetheart!

That ending, when he earned the last ten points, just pulled on my heart strings. I love that kid <3

But Malfoy's my favorite. :D

I'm actually a bit disappointed that I didn't get to hear him say "My Father will about this!" more than twice. (hide spoiler)]

[Jill]

(view spoiler)[ The last time I read these books was 8 years ago and I'm so excited to get back into it. LOL @ them predicting everyone will know Harry Potter's name. If that aint the truth!! And I love the Hogwarts letter part. I forgot about them going on that rock island in the middle of a storm. Hagrid to save the day (hide spoiler)]
Ch 4

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

Same. I think it was even longer ago though like 10 -15 years? Something like that.

I remembered the rock but a lot of things were missed out or changed in the movie.

[Jill]

(view spoiler)[I am loving revisiting all of these iconic scenes. LOL when Hermione says to Ron "You've got something right there." She's so sassy (hide spoiler)]
Ch 6

[Jill]

I meant my last reread was 8 years ago. This is my fourth time rereading :P

[Gabi]

I forgot this was a SERIES buddy read! Lol oops. This is my first time reading Harry Potter! I'm a part of a group reading one book per month so now I'm on the second!



Chapter 8 (view spoiler)[ I know Draco is spoiled rotten but he stills screams precious to me and I love him XD <3 (hide spoiler)]

[Gabi]

Wow and FOURTH time Jill? That's impressive.

[— Massiel]

Gabi - Which group is that? I would love to join in.

[— Massiel]

Gabi - Thank you, I would like to send you a private message if you don't mind.

[Gabi]

Of course! No problem

[Jill]

(view spoiler)[Harry and Ron should've totally gotten more points for defeating the troll.. (hide spoiler)]
Ch 10

[Jill]

(view spoiler)[What does Mars being bright mean? Voldemort is back? So many iconic scenes thus far (hide spoiler)]
Ch 15

(view spoiler)[The last scene where Dumbledore gives them all the winning points at the celebratory dinner is one of my faves of all time (hide spoiler)]
end

[Gabi]

Jill I totally agree with the last spoiler (view spoiler)[ The intense satisfaction in that scene still makes me smile. I love that Neville won for Gryffindor with just 10 points XD (hide spoiler)]

[Jill]

(view spoiler)[I can't believe how much I've forgotten in these books. One thing I never understood was how Harry was allowed to go back to the Dursleys. Why did no one call child services on these people?! Anyway, I love Dobby. He's one of my fave characters in this series.. (hide spoiler)]
Ch 4
