What the bloody hell is that?
How many times have you read the books, Sammie?When I was a wee tot at the ripe young age of first grade, I found a copy of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone in my mum's closet. It was obvious it hadn't been read before, because like myself, my mother is an obsessive spinebreaker. So I stole it. And read it. And fell in love. I actually read most of the series with my mum, or had her read it to me before bed, and I recently found out that she used to sneak the books from my room and read ahead at night. This series means a lot to me and just about everyone else who has read it. It will pretty much always be ranked number one on my list of favorite books, and I'd like to share that. Oh yeah, and I am from the part of the world that read the Sorcerer's Stone, not the Philosopher's.
Uhhh, many. So much so that they resemble those novels you find in your grandma's attic. The ones that are decrepit and have yellow pages and are missing half of their covers and fall apart when you touch them and smell like they belong in the Smithsonian. They definitely fall under the category of "heavily loved." It's probably unfair to my other books.
What Hogwarts house are you, Sammie?
While I spent a lot of my elementary years believing I was a tried and true Gryffindor, and as much as I would love to be in the house of the lion, I'm not. And I'm not the steadfastly loyal, patient or fair, so Hufflepuff was nixed. I really think if I were in a house I would be with the Ravenclaws. Go eagles. Of course, I wouldn't know for sure because I never received my Hogwarts letter—er, Pottermore e-mail (clearly still bitter about that one).
Can I read these without reading the books?
Why would you want to, though? That being said, these might be spoilerific, so no. But run immediately to your bookstore/library and grab the first one right now. I promise you won't regret it.Which is your favorite book?
I wrote a couple of blog posts last year discussing which ones were my favorites, but I tend to change my mind a lot. Indecisive. My favorite all through Elementary school was, without a doubt, Goblet of Fire. Then, right before sixth grade, Deathly Hallows came out, and that was my favorite. I also really liked Prisoner of Azkaban as well, though. In middle school I had a romantic phase; thus, I loved Half-Blood Prince the most. But now, I think I'm leaning more toward Goblet of Fire, again. That was a really long explanation, but for now, my most favoritest is Goblet of Fire. Who knows, though? It could change by next Monday. I really love them all so much, it's like asking which child is my favorite.
