                                       “Hogwarts was the first and best home he had known. He and Voldemort and Snape, the abandoned boys, had all found home here. ”

Now that we've talked about the first three books of the Harry Potter Series by J.K. Rowling, let's start talking about the last four. This post will talk about Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Harry Potter and the Half-blood Prince, and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. I'd just like to say that that quote isn't my first choice, but my first choice might have spoiled the book for those who have yet to read it and since I didn't want to do that, I chose the next best quote, at least in my mind. Doesn't it just make you feel all warm and gushy?

For those readers who like lots of action, these are the books you want to get into. There's dragons, and dungeons and creepy professors and just lots of things to keep your attention or grab it. But if you're going to read these books, you should read the first three first or you'll be wondering what is going on in this magical world.

Harry Potter Series by J.K. Rowling 1-3

                                  "To Harry Potter - the boy who lived!” - J.K. Rowling, 
                                                      Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone


I thought I'd break the Harry Potter Series down a bit so that I can talk about the books in a little more detail without creating one huge post. So, this post will deal with Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets and Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. The next post I write will most likely deal with Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, and finally Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. But they may be broken up differently depending on how much writing I do about each book. 

I'm going to start off by saying that the Harry Potter Series is one of the best out there and it's certainly my favourite and it probably will be until the day I die. However, after reading these three books for the first time, any time I read the series afterwards I always have to force myself to read these three and not to jump right into the action that starts in The Goblet of Fire. This isn't because they aren't well written or anything that J.K. Rowling has done, I just feel that the action tends to be a little calmer or slower to build.

Small Update

Okay, so yes I realize that I have yet to post an actual post about books. But I'm working on it, I promise you! I just thought that I'd give you a small update on what my thoughts are going forward.

I thought I'd share a little of how I got started reading. I don't really remember when I first learned to read but since I was little, books always interested me. But it wasn't until the Harry Potter Series by J.K. Rowling that I became addicted. My family always has this Christmas tradition where we all meet up and just celebrate being together. And they also have a present swap. So the way that would work is that the kids would choose from one hat with all of the kids names, and the adults would do the same except for the adults. Now, my cousin was the one who got my name and the only thing she could think of to get me was books. Up until now I had always said that I wouldn't read the Harry Potter Series, who knows why. But my cousin got me the first four books that Christmas and because it  was a present I felt obligated to read them.
