Hi everyone! I am still without a new book to read but I have filled that void with Harry Potter. I’m currently on book five and I’m about midway through. Even though I have read this series countless times, my thoughts have changed as I have gotten older. In this post, I’m just going to give you a list of thoughts I have had while re-reading this series.

• Why did they leave baby Harry on a doorstop all night? Why couldn’t they have waited closer to morning before leaving him?
• How can these two grown adults be so awful to their own nephew for things he doesn’t know yet?
• Hagrid is actually the best character in these books.
• Ron’s snarky comments are actually bits of foreshadowing.
• Hermione is too nice. If my friends kept asking to copy off my homework, I would have snapped at them by now.
• The Weasley twins threw snowballs straight at Voldemort like true legends.
• Literally, how can anyone justify Snape’s behavior?
• Everyone keeps punishing Harry for things he doesn’t even know about!!!
• I’m sad Winky the house elf wasn’t in the movie.
• Everyone keeps roasting Hufflepuff and it is hilarious. (No offense to the Hufflepuffs)
• I’m convinced that Dumbledore hires the Defense Against the Dark Arts teachers mostly for his own amusement.
• Does Draco have nothing better to do than to harass the Gryffindors?
• McGonagall is a badass and I will fight whoever says otherwise.
• Remember when Dumbledore calmly asked Harry if he put his name in the Goblet of Fire?
• “We’ve done everything we can to make the TriWizard Tournament safer for the students!” *puts even more students in danger in the second task*
• SIRIUS BLACK DESERVED BETTER!!!
• All of this food sounds delicious. I would kill for a pumpkin pasty right now.
• Oh shit, it’s Umbridge.
• It’s comforting to know that even wizards have to put up with bullshit politics.
• DOBBY DESERVED BETTER!!
• Harry is an innocent soul who just wants to chat with snakes and play Quidditch.
• The sass in these books is giving me life.
• Voldemort is so dramatic. He just has to monologue.
• I’m still sad Peeves wasn’t in the movies.
• How about we give Neville a break?
• Honestly, Harry and Ron making up nonsense for their homework is the most  realistic part of these books.
• Hermione, do not get upset that exams are cancelled! Do you know how many people would kill for that?
• They’re just kids, for god’s sake!!
• These kids are in danger!! Let’s surround them with soul-sucking monsters!! – stupid adults
• Yeah, I still want to go to Hogwarts.

I’ll keep you updated as I finish the series. Let me know what thoughts you have had about Harry Potter or if you agree with me.
