So, if people want information on my characters, then they have to accept that I'm going to give them the information on the characters. And if they don't like it, that's the nature of fiction. You have to accept someone else's world because they made that world, so they probably know a little better than you do what goes on there. - J.K. Rowling

Went back to this classic King quote. It's just so perfect. Plus, he's been beautifully saying what most of us feel during this time politically in the US so I wanted to honor him all the more as a result. LOL.

Not at the moment, but I want to read some books during my vacation which starts this weekend. I just haven't decided yet.

^^^ Watching.

I already want to fight him... OotP is his least favorite?

PoA second to last?

What’s this dude smoking?

Agree about GoF... love the book, I love them all but I’ve always found this one a tad overrated as far as popularity. I think it’s because we had to share our favorite characters with other schools.

The scene in the Forbidden Forest in DH is my favorite chapter of the book series. So Spiritual and powerful.

I also find CoS underrated because this one essentially sets up the entire Horcrux mystery. Like he said Rowling had the series planned ahead of time so everything is beautifully tied together.

Interesting ranking. The 7 books are basically one whole book though so that’s why they’re all great and you’re essentially ranking scenes if you ask me.

This is really interesting:



Now I know why Lord Voldemort used the Avada Kedavra spell to try and kill Harry Potter.

Wow, this is so interesting! I knew the history behind Avada Kedavra but not both.

This is so interesting, thanks for finding it, Jerry!
