Harry Potter Book Night


IT'S HARRY POTTER BOOK NIGHT!!!

I've been looking forward to this since Bloomsbury first announced it. Harry Potter was my first foray into novels at the tender age of 8. Harry Potter holds a very special place in my heart because I am part of the Harry Potter generation. I was there pre-ordering and rushing to the bookstore at 9am for Order of the Phoenix, Half-Blood Prince and Deathly Hallow as soon as it came out. I did the midnight screenings of the movies. I've watched them all multiple times and in 3D where possible. Of course I own Harry Potter merchandise. The Harry Potter books remain the one series that I've read more than 15 times (or more) over the years.

I've whipped up my Hogwarts profile for you guys :D



House: Ravenclaw (I've known I'm a Claw the way Draco knew he was Slytherin)
Wand: 10 3/4 inches, black walnut with unicorn core, unyielding
Quidditch position: Chaser
Favourite subject: Charms and Runes
Pet: Owl

My Favourite...

Harry Potter book: Deathly Hallows and Prisoner of Azkaban
Member of the Golden Trio: Hermione Granger 
Secondary character: Fred Weasley - I wept so hard in Deathly Hallows. When we were watching the midnight screening my friends just shoved the tissue box at me at that moment.
Chapter: The Prince's Tale
Shop: Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlour (and of course Flourish and Blotts)

For my post, I'm going to share with you guys my favourite quote from each book. I have HEAPS and it was hard to choose, but these have always stood out to me. I made some graphics to go along with them (:








For those of you that haven't read the books, I hope this somewhat convinces you. For those of you that have are you nostalgic? Reminiscing? 
AND DOESN'T "ALWAYS" JUST HIT YOU RIGHT IN THE FEELS? I can't NOT cry whenever I read that chapter.

Now, I am going off to read Quidditch Through the Ages and possibly do a re-read of Philosopher's Stone <3 What are you doing on this Harry Potter Book Night?

  1. I am one of those rare people (of our generation) who haven't read Harry Potter yet! I do have plans to eventually though. Was going to start them tonight but that hasn't happened yet... They will be read one day though I promise!

  2. I'm a rare person like Bec! I never read Harry Potter as a kid (I was into Narnia) and I'm only just reading it now! I read up to book 4 and then I got sidetracked by 2 million other books crowding out my TBR. I'm a bit sad I missed the magic of this when I was little though...I would've adored these books so so much. Although I DO find them hilarious now, ;-)

    1. Oh Cait wao. I hope you're enjoying them along with finding them funny. I still love them so much. Get back to finishing the series! I find that they're really quick reads. I once did books 1 - 3 in 1 day in my boredom haha.

    1. ME TOO! What I think is amazing about HP is that you find out something new each time you read it!
