YAY!!! Glad to have you, Mandiann! :)
I will be joining. I enjoyed rereading the first book, so I'm excited to reread all the other books too.
Awesome, Katie! My book just arrived at the library today. I'm ready to go! :o)
Has anyone started this one yet?
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.
I don't think Dawn is in it still. Should I change the start date?
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.
I'm still reading it, so I'll change the date. How far out do you think?
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.
Okay. I'll wait and see what Mandiann thinks.
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?
I checked my buddy read dates, and Prisoner of Azkaban is supposed to be April 4th, I believe.
Perfect! Book 3 isn't till April 4, so I'll change the book 2 start date to March 24. Great idea! Thanks!! :)

And I'll join in on Azkaban as well, I just have to locate that one...
Oh, that's great, Dawn!!! :)
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.
I will start tomorrow. I might audio this one. The reader is fantastic.
I'll probably start tomorrow too and take a break tonight. I'm all over the place! LOL
I need to stop commenting on goodreads and go read. It is so distracting and addicting.
Haha! I know! Me too, me too!
I should be able to actually start it over the weekend. But even if I don't, I may still chime in.
That's fantastic, Dawn!
Can I join you? I'm new to the discussions.
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!
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
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.

Haven't read it since I was 15 so I don't re..."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.
Well, I loved book 1 so keeping my fingers crossed!
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)
I just finished this one. I love how early Rowling started putting things in place for the series ending.
I listened to the audiobook for all but a few chapters. I love Stephen Fry. He does such a great job reading!
You've finished the entire series?
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?
No! Lol You spoiled nothing.
When are we supposed to start book three?How are you liking # 2, Vicki?
up to chapter 12 (view spoiler)And the (view spoiler) is my favourite my favourite part of the book so far (view spoiler)
Mandiann wrote: "When are we supposed to start book three?How are you liking # 2, Vicki?"
*blushes from embarrassment* I haven't begun it, but I plan to today. Promise! LOL I'd already planned to start it today. LOL
Suzy wrote: "up to chapter 12 [spoilers removed]And the [spoilers removed] is my favourite my favourite part of the book so far [spoilers removed]"
Yes, that part is really neat!!!
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.
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)
Glad you enjoyed it Suzy! Can't wait to see your thoughts on the Prisoner of Azkaban.
Any idea when we plan to do book # 3?
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?
