Harry Potter re-read time!! (starting out with the beautiful MinaLima editions)

Kicking my feet and giggling I love these silly little wizards so much 🤭

We’ve reached the triple digits 🙌 chapter 100!

Yay!! Officially halfway and now we’re really getting into the angst (as if there hasn’t already been a decent amount of it 😭) I just want Remus and Sirius to kiss and make up (literally) so there’ll be at least some nice moments 🫶

The chain store thing kinda confuses me 😭

I was just expecting a nice Christmas chapter :/ not a traumatic event.

Saw a TikTok comment talking about how “unrealistically” and “out of character“ Dumbledore was written but I disagree! I think he’s the exact same as in the Harry Potter books, that calm and quiet almost eerie presence; seeming strangely unbothered by most situations. Perhaps that will change as the war progresses but as of right now he’s still very much accurate to me.

I’m loving seeing the little snippets of Remus starting to feel a bit differently for Sirius 🤭 I think it’s being done very realistically and I actually love the sloooooooooow slow burn. I’m also enjoying seeing Remus start to learn more about himself and his father, even if it’s a bit depressing 😭

Third year here we come!! 🚂

Ahhhhh year 1 is officially over!! Again, that was such an amazing read and I really felt like I’d just picked up another of JK’s works. The characterisation was phenomenal and felt very realistic not only to the canon information we have about the marauders but just to a group of 12 year old boys in general. I’m excited to see what the next year brings for the boys and I already know it’s gonna be great!

This fic is actually so good 😭 I definitely see the hype

Wow I really liked that first chapter! It almost felt like it was an actual excerpt from the Harry Potter series, like a pensieve flashback! I like the idea of Remus living in an orphanage and am interested to see how that will play into his character more throughout this book.

Ok I’m gonna take a break from Percy…and start ATYD 😱

Sooo,,, would the chewable vitamins not just be ambrosia??

Bee you’re annoying me 👍

How did THEY disrupt the race??? I hate this Tantalus guy 🤦🏾‍♀️

Tyson is Percy’s HALF BROTHER???!!!?!?

I KNEW Tyson was going to be a Cyclops!!

Oooh is the shadowy figure Hades? Because his helmet of darkness makes him invisible and absorb into the shadows…and if it his him I wonder what he wants with Percy/why he’s spying on him?

Last chapter 🥹

😧

I reckon somehow the master bolt is now in Percy’s bag that’s why it suddenly feels so heavy and also why I magically reappeared even after he threw it away. Which makes me think maybe Ares stole it (or sent someone else to) but gave it back to Percy in return for his shield? Idk but I’m intrigued as to what will happen 🤭

Poor Cerberus 😢

They were there for 5 days??? 😭 they better complete this quest but I feel like they won’t and it’ll continue into the next book

Aunty “Em” or should I say “M” is definitely going to be Medusa. Hence the statues because that’s kinda her thing 🤭 and the hissing Grover heard is obvs her snake hair xx

Of COURSE they left their bags behind 🤦🏾‍♀️ no ambrosia, spare clothes or anything other than the clothes on their backs and a pen/sword.
