But that could also be because my best friend and I "trained" for when we would be called to become part of the Sailor Scouts, so, you know. It could have confused the poor owl! *Shrugs it off* I actually just took this cool Harry Potter quiz and it asked what your Patronus would be. It gave four options and this one just stuck with me. It felt RIGHT. So, definitely going with that *Nods* Oh, it was a Fox, btw. Love! I totally remember where I was when I finished Book 7! I also remember going to the midnight release parties for books 4-7! Great memories! *Sniffles* Well, according to the quiz I took, I'm a Gryffindor! Which I won't argue with. At all. No author or book can ever live up to the world building of JK Rowling and Harry Potter. Never ever. I'm DEFINITELY going to read HP to my kids! They must know of the awesome! And yes, agreed, I'll still be reading HP when I'm 80!<br /><br />Awesome, amazing post!

The only book I didn't read as soon as it was released was Sorcerer's Stone, but I did find it about 3 months after. Gosh I love them so much. I even have a contingency plan for making my future kids read HP. If they don't discover them on their own, I will give each child their own 7 book set for their 11th birthday. I almost want to fast forward 12 years just so I can do that hahah. And YES WIZARD GOD WHERE IS THE ENCYCLOPEDIA?! Pottermore doesn't count!! Your post really makes me want to reread them over Christmas, I'm due :) And your puns are Golden (snitch! It doesn't work but let's pretend it does!).

I JUST CAN'T. So perfect. <br /><br />Also I always like to throw it in people's faces that I knew Snape was good. I KNEW IT, WORLD.<br /><br />And nothing, NOTHING, destroyed me like the mirror at the end of OotP. Not any of the deaths compare to that. I was crushed beyond recognition. <br /><br />Finally, I am interested in your copy of Witch Weekly.

This is the best thing ever. Yes, EVER....OH MY GOD. This is the best thing ever. Yes, EVER. I have totally fantasized about reading my HP books to my future unborn children, just a few days ago I was stroking the lovely new boxed set of HP books at the store and! When HP7 came out it was the summer I was working at camp as a camp counselor and had NO time to read. I had my preordered copy arrive at camp for me and would read it during my 1 hour breaks (I only got 1 per day). I'd threaten my campers with clean up duty if they so much as spoiled a single word of HP7 and when I finished it, I was sitting on the floor of our staff kitchen (only quiet area) quietly crying. Yeah, it's a pretty pathetic image but I remember all this VIVIDLY. I also would run out of our cabin if the campers started talking about the book. Omg. #20. Let me go cry now.Wendy @ Book Scentshttp://www.book-scents.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4932292247636823526.post-70681947812815892792013-12-19T03:52:35.622-05:002013-12-19T03:52:35.622-05:00THIS IS AWESOME!

I'm pretty sure my family hid my Hogwarts letter because they were jealous of me. Siriusly, they all want to be a witch like meeee. WHEN I FINISHED HP7 I was in bed, crying, and it was the day it came out at midnight because I obviously couldn't stop reading. Also, I went to buy my copy in a Hogwarts costume. Be jealous. And yes, I can recite most of book 1's first chapter, actually. In Dutch, though. If my future children hate Harry Potter - NO WAIT. I can't think about that. That will not happen, as it is impossible.Judithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10169574717441851611noreply@blogger.com
