Does the book count if you started reading it before August 1st, but didn't finish until after August 1st?
Mod
Ashley - yes that counts! All that matters is what date you finished the book, so if you finish on or after August 1, that book counts! What house are you in?

Slytherin!
This is such a fun idea!
August 1st
Hufflepuff

Hufflepuff

August 1st
Hufflepuff"
And Hufflepuff is first on the board!!! 1 point for Hufflepuff =)
I'm a Ravenclaw too ;)Is there a minimum page count for a book to count? And are manga/comic books allowed?
Mod

No minimum page count! Though many manga or comics publish monthly and then combine the year and publish all together, correct? You can choose how you want to count it.

Tankobon are the combined, bookform edition of several chapters that were previously published in monthly magazines. They're usually around 180-200 pages, and have an isbn.
I used Pottermore to sort me a few years ago, but I staunchly disagree with it's findings. So I'm going with what I would have told the sorting hat I wanted to be, and that's Ravenclaw. :)
Mod
I'd use whatever has an ISBN but if there is no book version whatever comic you read, as long as you can link it to a Goodreads book page that counts!

Isn't that what Harry Potter did?!? So fully support that.
I love this game! Thanks Kase! Also, I've begun planning to visit The Wizarding World of Harry Potter. I'm thinking sometime between Dec. 26 and Jan. 4 of 2018/19. Plans may change, but if there are any fanatics trying to go, it'd be cool to meet some group members while there! I plan to fully geek out! Interactive wand, here I come!
Based on the fact that this a reading challenge, I'm thinking we're going to be fairly heavily weighted towards Ravenclaw. :) But it will be interesting if it goes another way.
Oh it's on, Kristin! :P I'm after that Reading Cup trophy!
Mod
Sarah and Kaseadilla, you are definitely showing your house colors. ;) I love it!
😂😂😂 🦁 Hey Kase, I updated my profile with my last name, Suchon, so you can use that on our house member list instead of the location explanation.
Mod
date read: august 1

Point for Ravenclaw!!

updating now, thanks! GO GRYFFINDOR!!!!!
Put me down for Slytherin!
Date read: 8/1
Mod
Date read: 8/1"
Point for Slytherin!!
I'm loving all the houses! Sarah, I'd love to go there! I'm already visiting New York in September for my big scary birthday and about to book another for the start of December, was thinking Florida- I'm such a kid at heart!
I need some more Hufflepuffs in this team! Get sorted guys!
Leesa, I'm leaning towards Universal Orlando because they have Diagon Alley! Apparently Hollywood doesn't have that.
Sarah wrote: "Leesa, I'm leaning towards Universal Orlando because they have Diagon Alley! Apparently Hollywood doesn't have that."My fiancé and I are having a destination wedding in Florida, mainly so we can go to Universal/ Harry Potter world for our mini-moon!
Slytherin for me (although I did this once before, and I got a different answer). Whatever. As long as I don't have to feed the mascot.
Diagon Alley/ Hogwarts at Universal Orlando/Islands of Adventure was so much fun! You take Hogwarts Express to go from one to the other. H.P. & the Forbidden Journey and Escape from Gringotts were awesome! (These rides are VERY popular so fast-passes and a plan are highly recommended.)-Kristin H
Congrats Ashley, that will be an amazing experience!!Thanks for the fast pass tip, Kristin! I feel the money would be worth less waits and more rides!
Mod
Go, go Gryffindor!"
Sarah can we use your last name, or at least last initial, since we have two Sarah's in house Gryffindor?
GO GO GRYFFINDOR
I have a tie between HUFFLEPUFF and RAVENCLAW. I could join Hufflepuff though, because they need more people.
Mod
Did you take the test on Pottermore? I've never heard of anyone getting a tie!!! In that case, it's totally your choice.
Mariah wrote: "I have a tie between HUFFLEPUFF and RAVENCLAW. I could join Hufflepuff though, because they need more people."I am pretty sure that compromise pushes you right into Hufflepuff house. It's a very fair way to look at things. :)
I am a proud RAVENCLAW btw!!-Kristin H.
Kristin, I love how you notice characteristics that match members to houses! It's making the game more fun :)
I would like to join as well. I'm a Slytherin!

Congratulations to RAVENCLAW for winning the 2017 Hogwarts House Cup!!
Final reports and Quidditch team allstars can be found in the EHRTBM Hall of Fame.
In honor of the group reading Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone this year, let's get sorted!
HOW IT WORKS
Go to this great website Pottermore.
There, you can get sorted into your Hogwarts house.
Once you have been sorted, earn points for your house for every book your read!
In this discussion, similar to the Relay Race Reading Challenge, post what books you've read.
Please include:
1. The name of the book you read
2. Read date (must be completed between August 1, 2017 and December 31, 2017)
3. Your HOGWARTS HOUSE!!!
You can join at any time between now and December 31, 2017. Feel free to add all books you have completed between Aug. 1 and the time you joined, or just add books going forward - whichever you prefer.
At the end, we'll tally to see which house has read the most books at the end of the year. See Comment #2 for the current tally!
WINGARDIUM LEVIOSA,
Kasey
