This is the first Harry Potter book that is a new read for me, although I’ve seen the movie a dozen time, and it’s a much better story. I’m actually retroactively very angry about the movie adaptation! Luckily, there are now several other people embarking on the Harry Potter journey with me so I can, hopefully, commiserate with them since I’m twelve years late to the party.

There will be no spoiler coddling! My main prompt for starting The Great 2017 Harry Potter Reread was Angry Dimples. She started her own reread and wanted to talk […]
