Emily | 7 comments I love it! I had a boss say that you cant learn anything from reading fiction, and he was very much against HP because he thought it taught whichcraft, but obviously there is much to learn from fiction, and you are just one person. One of my favorite quotes is when Dumbledore says "it is our choices that show is who we are far more than our abilities." (Book 2) and i believe its so true. My relative has the potential to be great and influence people for good, but because he was offended, he gets angry and allows that to rule his actions.

Mary | 53 comments That post was beautiful, but I didn't think Order of the Phoenix was that bad. It was a little long, but I think that it was just as good as the others. But to be clear, I respect your opinion and I hope you don't get upset that I disagree.

Pamela (waterspout) | 27 comments I wasn't too picky with books when I read the Harry Potter series so I was just happy that there were more pages to read. :3

Mary, I'm not upset at all!!! I thought the book was good, just not as polished/edited as some of the others. Of course, you are welcome to judge the book differently :-)

I'm so honored you read the post. And I'm glad you enjoyed it :0)

Ivette Morel | 10 comments Great post! On number two I also liked in Order of the Phoenix when Sirius tells Molly "He's not your son" and she says "He's as good as". Thought it was really sweet how to her he's family.

Oh my gosh, great moment. I LOVE Mrs. Weasley. So heartbreaking when she fights the boggart in that book!
