I must be turning into a bit of a cynic in my old age. Each time I re-read these books, I find a few more things that irritate me. It seems to be books 5-7 that annoy me more so than 1-4. I feel like by this point in time, Harry should know better. He doesn't listen to any of the adults in his lif...

I thought my teenagers were busying themselves with something else in the back seat when my 13-y...

The twists and turns in this one, as well as Dumbledore finally letting Harry further into the knowledge he ...
So on my YouTube channel I am participating in a readalong called potterwatch. Each month we are reading a Harry Potter book and watching the film that goes with it. Last month we did the first book and first movie. So this month it's book 2 turn. I still have to watch the movie for the book. So thi...
