Intro to Harry Potter

Intro to Harry Potter

Scarlett (who will be 7 next month) and I (who will be 43 in July-but keep that to yourselves) have started reading Harry Potter. She’s never seen any of the movies because I wanted her to experience these characters through the books first. Plus, she was just too young. Even though J.K. Rowling is bonkers and kind of a horrible human being where trans-rights (among others I would suspect) are…

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone by J.K. Rowling

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

It has been a long time since I read this series, and reading it at an older age had allowed for a different reading experience. This is a series of books that brings a lot of comfort at this point in time, and I am happy to have reread it now! Rereading the first book in the series again really showed to me how this…

A Few Good Books to Curl Up With

A Few Good Books to Curl Up With

Whether it’s by a fireplace or snuggled up in bed under the softest blanket you own, sometimes the most amazing feeling in the world is when you’re cuddled up with a good book. I’ve picked out a few of my own personal favorites to read whenever I want to re-read a good book and relax.

Oh Oh It's Magic! Pt 1 (Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, 2001)

Oh Oh It’s Magic! Pt 1 (Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, 2001)

Every so often there is a major phenomenon. And for the late 1990’s?  That was Harry Potter.  In a series of seven books, J.K. Rowling broke records with a tale of a young boy wizard.  Kids were showing up to midnight release parties for the latest books and dressing up as the characters for conventions. A movie was pretty much inevitable.  They brought in Chris Columbus, writer of youth…

Hogwarts's Great Hall Reconsidered

Hogwarts’s Great Hall Reconsidered

If you’re anything like me, you went to a school with an unimpressive cafeteria. Sure, it was big, but only just enough to hold a portion of your rude classmates. It wasn’t lined with gigantic, gaudy windows, large oaken tables, or contained magical floating candles. I also bet your school’s dining hall didn’t feature all your teachers sitting at the front of the room, elevated like Gods above…

I hadn’t realized that I hadn’t done one of these in a while, so there is a little bit to catch up on. Most of what I’ve read though, I’ve done so over the past couple weeks, in fact I finished up four books while away on vacation, so there really wouldn’t have been that much to catch you all up on before now anyway.

Picking Up the Pieces:  The Mirror of Erised

Picking Up the Pieces:  The Mirror of Erised

You might want to start with my poem.  This post is an expansion of it. LastLast semester in my Children’s Literature class, we read Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone.  It was really awesome.  I’d been looking forward to it since day one. However, reading it was not without heated debate.  One of these debates was when we discussed the mirror of erised.  Some people thought it only shows a…

December Wrap Up

December was a pretty fun month for me, and not just because it was the last month of 2016 (which needed to be over long before it was).

Books Read

Unfortunately I didn’t get around to finishing any books because of how busy I was – finals, skating, job, etc – so both of these books are just books that I was currently reading during December.

I began to fear I wasn’t going to have anything to write here this week as I had little motivation to read anything. But today, my middle daughter got me moving (as we work on Harry Potter together) and I bounced around on some other things.
