Vicki (goodreadscomboobooper49) | 31156 comments A bunch of us will be reading this book as we continue with our goal of reading the entire series. Love to have others join us!


Dawn (baseballblondie) | 17 comments I'll join in.


Mandiann (goodreadscommandiann) | 6882 comments Sounds good.


Vicki (goodreadscomboobooper49) | 31156 comments YAY!!! Glad to have you, Mandiann! :)


Katie | 1999 comments I will be joining. I enjoyed rereading the first book, so I'm excited to reread all the other books too.


Vicki (goodreadscomboobooper49) | 31156 comments Awesome, Katie! My book just arrived at the library today. I'm ready to go! :o)


Mandiann (goodreadscommandiann) | 6882 comments Has anyone started this one yet?


Katie | 1999 comments I haven't started this yet. I'm reading several other books, and this is a reread for me, so I'll start it once I've finished some other books first.


Vicki (goodreadscomboobooper49) | 31156 comments I don't think Dawn is in it still. Should I change the start date?


Katie | 1999 comments I forgot what you had said in the Sorcerer's Stone thread. Are you finished Sorcerer's Stone, or are you still reading it? If you're still reading it, and the rest of us aren't ready to read this either, we could probably push it back.


Vicki (goodreadscomboobooper49) | 31156 comments I'm still reading it, so I'll change the date. How far out do you think?


Katie | 1999 comments I'm not sure. I will try to do it on any date that we change it to, so I don't really know how far to push it back.


Vicki (goodreadscomboobooper49) | 31156 comments Okay. I'll wait and see what Mandiann thinks.


Mandiann (goodreadscommandiann) | 6882 comments How about during the readathon? That way you have a week to finish the first one, plus it's a great book for a readathon, not too long, sequel so it's lots of points...

Or is that too late? When are we supposed to start the Prisoner of Azkaban?


Katie | 1999 comments I checked my buddy read dates, and Prisoner of Azkaban is supposed to be April 4th, I believe.


Vicki (goodreadscomboobooper49) | 31156 comments Perfect! Book 3 isn't till April 4, so I'll change the book 2 start date to March 24. Great idea! Thanks!! :)


Mandiann (goodreadscommandiann) | 6882 comments Sounds great!

I'm still in. I've just not started it yet. Though I have been carrying it around to read, just haven't started it yet. *too many review copies and not enough time*

And I'll join in on Azkaban as well, I just have to locate that one...


Vicki (goodreadscomboobooper49) | 31156 comments Oh, that's great, Dawn!!! :)


Vicki (goodreadscomboobooper49) | 31156 comments I am glad to see that we do have a thread here. I am going to read this one for the readathon week. I'll be starting it either tonight or tomorrow.


Mandiann (goodreadscommandiann) | 6882 comments I will start tomorrow. I might audio this one. The reader is fantastic.


Vicki (goodreadscomboobooper49) | 31156 comments I'll probably start tomorrow too and take a break tonight. I'm all over the place! LOL


Mandiann (goodreadscommandiann) | 6882 comments I need to stop commenting on goodreads and go read. It is so distracting and addicting.


Vicki (goodreadscomboobooper49) | 31156 comments Haha! I know! Me too, me too!

Dawn (baseballblondie) | 17 comments I should be able to actually start it over the weekend. But even if I don't, I may still chime in.


Vicki (goodreadscomboobooper49) | 31156 comments That's fantastic, Dawn!


Elizabeth (libisann) | 23 comments Can I join you? I'm new to the discussions.


Vicki (goodreadscomboobooper49) | 31156 comments Elizabeth, of course, we'd love to have you!

Have you read book 1? We are about to start book 2, and some of us (like myself) have never read a Harry Potter book nor seen the movies; others are re-reading. Either way it's a really fun read!

Suzy Kennedy | 345 comments Finished book one during the readathon, on to book 2 tonight. Chamber of secrets was my least favourite of the movies, we shall see how I like the book. Haven't read it since I was 15 so I don't remember much


Vicki (goodreadscomboobooper49) | 31156 comments Suzy, I hope you like the book better than the movie. :o)

Yes, I've read book 1, and this is a re-read for me.

The second movie is the worst. The acting was still pretty bad and there was just a lot of crazy things going on in the story that were hard to make sense of in a movie.


Vicki (goodreadscomboobooper49) | 31156 comments Well, I loved book 1 so keeping my fingers crossed!

Suzy Kennedy | 345 comments I got to Chapter 5 last night. I love that I have these books on audio books thanks to Mandiann :)

I will always love (view spoiler)

Suzy Kennedy | 345 comments Holy crap (don't read if your not past chapter 6) (view spoiler)


Mandiann (goodreadscommandiann) | 6882 comments LOL!!! Yes, Suzy, he really is. I love his (view spoiler)


Mandiann (goodreadscommandiann) | 6882 comments I just finished this one. I love how early Rowling started putting things in place for the series ending.

Mandiann (goodreadscommandiann) | 6882 comments I listened to the audiobook for all but a few chapters. I love Stephen Fry. He does such a great job reading!


Vicki (goodreadscomboobooper49) | 31156 comments You've finished the entire series?


Mandiann (goodreadscommandiann) | 6882 comments Many times. But not this year.

Sorry, I was admiring Rowlings writing while being cryptic and not giving anything away. Should I hide my comment in a spoiler?


Vicki (goodreadscomboobooper49) | 31156 comments No! Lol You spoiled nothing.


Mandiann (goodreadscommandiann) | 6882 comments When are we supposed to start book three?

How are you liking # 2, Vicki?


message 43: by Suzy (new) - rated it 4 stars

Suzy Kennedy | 345 comments up to chapter 12 (view spoiler)

And the (view spoiler) is my favourite my favourite part of the book so far (view spoiler)

*blushes from embarrassment* I haven't begun it, but I plan to today. Promise! LOL I'd already planned to start it today. LOL

Yes, that part is really neat!!!


message 46: by Dawn (new) - rated it 4 stars

Dawn (baseballblondie) | 17 comments I haven't exactly started it yet either. LOL.

And I love reading your reactions.

I also love how JKR is setting things up for later. Looking back I've never realized how many important things are discovered in the first two books.


message 47: by Suzy (new) - rated it 4 stars

Suzy Kennedy | 345 comments Just finished :)

I have a feeling that this will still remain my least favourite movie and book, although the book was good I found it lacked (view spoiler)


Mandiann (goodreadscommandiann) | 6882 comments Glad you enjoyed it Suzy! Can't wait to see your thoughts on the Prisoner of Azkaban.


Mandiann (goodreadscommandiann) | 6882 comments Any idea when we plan to do book # 3?


Vicki (goodreadscomboobooper49) | 31156 comments I can't even find book 3! My library seems to have all of them but that one. Makes no sense! We had a tentative date scheduled for April 4 but I can't find it. I might have to skip it and go on to #4. Any ideas?
