I'm rereading the HP series now (just finished "Order of the Phoenix"), but I'll be watching the films marathon style when I'm done all the books. I want to go to Hogwarts!


Same here!

I'm on Goblet of Fire right now, and I'm just blown away by how good Rowling is. Normally, female authors bore me to tears. Not her, though. I can see why her books became so insanely popular.

I think there may even have been a slight nod to SK, in Goblet of Fire. She briefly mentions a Muggle lawnmower that had been tampered with and ran amok. Made me think of Lawnmower Man, and got me wondering if she's a fan of Sai King?

Maybe the lawnmower reference was intentional! Goblet of Fire is where the books "grow up", in my opinion. Definitely the transition book into the darker parts of the story, but it just keeps getting better.
There is a villain in Order of the Phoenix that I'm pretty sure Stephen King called one of the most horrible (as in scary) characters in fiction. I'll see if I can find a link to back that up.
Meanwhile, enjoy! And I love all things Potter so feel free to message me if you want to talk HP :)
