I‘ve read the first few books a couple times, but this is the first time reading through the entire series and it saddens me into a state of loneliness to realize that after The Half Blood Prince, I‘ll only have the last book left to read for the first time. After that, it won‘t be, “Oh, I‘m reading the (insert book number here) Harry Potter book!” Rather, it‘ll be reread after reread. There‘s nothing like reading a book for the first time.

Every time I read a Harry Potter book I wish somehow it was real…. Tonks would be my life mentor, Lupin would be the best professor ever, I would plan an epic prank with the Weasley twins on Umbridge and “accidentally” kill her… the entire world Rowling created years ago captivates so many readers even now and will no doubt continue to do so for YEARS to come. We‘re all looking for a way to escape and for us amazing people, it‘s through books 😂

Excited to read this once I‘m done with Emma. A high school student who reads classics for fun, even after reading them for school?? Yes ma‘am.
