I hope you have so much fun rereading!

Yes! 😀

Hahahaha, I did go through the books several times, and I had a number of equally obsessed friends-and-relations who did not mind having long, involved conversations about what we thought was going to happen in the future books. And yeah, I did the midnight release parties. Those were amazing. The next generation is missing out so hard.

Awww. That sounds amazing and like a totally good life decision. I too go to bed between 9 and 11. The closer to 9 I can go to bed, the happier a clam I am. I love rereading generally, and rereading Harry Potter is a special treat.

Any time is as good a time as any, in my opinion. I adore these books with all my heart.

I never waffled. I had about ten seconds of mad outrage when I first read it (because it was very very late at night — or well, I guess by then it was very very early in the morning), and then I immediately was like, Oh Jenny. Come on. You know this is a set-up.

I know, wouldn’t that have been nuts? After we had come to love her so much! And especially after she was so awesome against Umbridge.

I will do my best to produce some puppy pictures. Maybe even a puppy video. :p

Okay, she predicted that Snape was in love with Lily. After the third book! The third one! AND she came up with this whole scenario where Snape dies right after looking into Harry’s eyes, which is basically exactly what happens as you may recall. (Her version of the scene was much more maudlin and feelingsy.)

My evidence for McGonagall is detailed in an above comment to Alley. It’s not overwhelming but I thought it was a pretty good working theory.

Hahaha, well if you INSIST, I’m sure I can manage to find one or two pictures of the puppy for posting here.
