Welcome to Litsy!

So, this week I went to the second Harry Potter audiobook on my daily commute. Somehow listening to it feels like Christmas even though it is one whole year again. But hearing about Hofwarts and the Gryffindor common room creates a cozy feeling. And Dumbledore‘s craving for a cup of hot chocolate does its bit as well. ☕️☕️☕️

Carlos Ponce has great tone and the acting skills to portray all of the characters and his voice pitch for Hermione always makes me giggle while his tone for Snape, always makes me pause to listen. Bless whoever had the idea to have him narrate this in Spanish!

Still a solid read all these years later, even if I do not like or agree with the author's comments and persona.

Forgot how much I loved this one! We meet some great characters in this novel, including Lucius Malfoy, Arthur Weasley, and of course... Dobby!

Book #2. Read this with my kiddo. Still a fave series.

5/5 ?????

This weekend is the start of my major reading season, and my and the boyfriend's anniversary (11 years and we haven't killed each other...yet)! #SciFiSummer is going strong until the Autumnal Equinox, but #RIP starts on the 1st, which is also #BackToHogwarts day. I also signed up for the #WhatTheDickens #BuddyRead of David Copperfield. My goal is simple: read when I can and as much as I can #ForTheLoveofBooks #readathon hosted by @TheSpineView

This is always my least favorite book of the series, but this time I appreciated seeing Harry‘s first trip to the Burrow. I love how he immediately feels at home and makes Ron understand that he shouldn‘t be embarrassed by it. Fawkes is the other highlight. Harry would have been killed in an instant without him. It‘s also the book where Harry feels confident (at the end) about his placement in Gryffindor.

I love how Molly Weasley loves all of her children, biological and not!

Molly Weasley is kind and she treats Harry like her own child.

It was the summer before first grade and I caught my son sitting on the floor reading the tagged book with his nightlight. He was itty bitty and so cute. I had to make him go to bed but how do you punish a kid just starting to read with his nightllight? Loved this comic for that reason

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Perhaps the early book most connected to the ones that come later in the series, it was fun to point out all the moments of “oh that will be important!” as we did the first half of our drive home from FL to IL.
It‘s been great to revisit so many loved characters & places.

4 out of 5 stars

1. No. My husband has tried to teach me at least once a year for the last 14 years but I just can't seem to get the timing right on releasing the clutch.
2. I could only think of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. The Ford Anglia was featured a few times.

As I was going through my list if books I live, very few have cars in them. They walk, use spaceships, horses, ship, etc. 😄

1. No. My parents did have a manual transmission for a number of years but they got rid of it a number of years prior to I learned how to drive.

2. Tagged book.

#two4tuesday

1) I learned to drive on a stick shift. My favorite manual driving experience was an old truck with the stick on the column. It was a blast to drive.

2) Tagged. I love driving so having a magic flying car would be the pinnacle.

Tagging everyone!

I‘m glad I finally decided to take this journey!

Loving reading these books in French! They follow the movies pretty well this far. I‘m halfway through the Prisoner of Azkaban now 🥰

Finished with my girl!

Did some hiking today with my youngest since this is her fall break & I had the day off work. We are all a bit sad that the beach wasn‘t in the cards for us this year so we decided on this fun nature walk/rock climbing adventure today! The drive was 1.5hrs each way so we loved listening to HP2 all the way there and back! I love that she is so into HP now! Especially since she‘ll turn 11 this year 😏

My husband and I finished the second Harry Potter book last night. Per hubby: "Wow! That was fun! We're starting the 3rd one tomorrow, right?" I may have created a fan. ?

Hi Litsy Fam I wanted to ask your opinion on reading. My boyfriend and I have been debating on whether Audiobooks are still considered reading. He believes listing to audiobooks is not considered a form of reading because you are not the pages if a book. Would you mind sharing your opinions on this?

Much appreciated 😌

Second book down! What can I say I‘m hooked? 🧙‍♀️ 🪄

Dobby has always been a real one 🧦

Love it when a trainer brings in a Dumbledore quote to make their point 💜
When working with, supporting, or even raising young people, remember what it was like to be young and that you were never perfect

Off to book 2 🦉

Funny fact I received my first Harry Potter book when I was 8 as a gift from my uncle. He gifted me with “The Chamber of Secrets”. This book has a special place in my heart because it opened me up to the magical world of Hogwarts 💙

If you know, you know.

Peter should have read "Magical Me" ?

I am throughly enjoying listening to these books! And even after reading them so many times I am still finding things I hadn‘t noticed before!

Harry is a young wizard going for his second year at Hogwarts School of Wizardry. His school year starts with a near death incident when Harry and Ron try to fly an invisible car to Hogwarts. After a little while, the whole school comes to the realization that the chamber of secrets has been opened, an ancient chamber found deep in the school. Harry then has to fight for his life against Voldemort and his evil serpent .

I devoured this series as a youngster, and this was always one of my favorites.

I consume Harry Potter in all literary forms....it's audio book's turn at the moment!

An enjoyable morning spent coloring with new art supplies while I read the first 2 chapters of Chamber of Secrets to the kids. Exactly what we needed to recover from the chaos of multiple Christmas celebrations over the last few days!

Great
