A Harry Potter Reread

Hello friends, strangers, and potential new nemesis (but please don’t go on a seven year vendetta to destroy me) it’s good to see you’ve decided to join me in rereading Harry Potter! Starting November 1st, the day everyone found out that You-Know-Who was defeated by a baby, I’ll be posting a review with discussion questions for each chapter of the seven Harry Potter novels every two days, starting with “The Boy Who Lived.” Sometimes the reviews will include spoilers for the books and the movies, so be advised if you’ve never read the books before you will get spoiled. 🙁

I’d love to have your thoughts on  every chapter either through comments here on my blog, my twitter @HSecretLibrary, or my instagram @hermionessecretlibrary.  You can follow along on Pinterest as well. I’ll be using the hashtag #ReadHarryPotterWithMe to help you find the posts and anyone else contributing to the discussion. You can also bookmark this page (which I will use as my master list for every chapter) or subscribe to my blog to get notified of every new post.

Happy Reading!
