'arry Pottah is 'ere to Stay

Oh how I love Harry Potter.
I am reading these books again for the 3rd time. I honestly feel like I could start them over again right after I finish the last one and just read them forever and ever.

Is that weird? (I just read them in October...)

Since the last movie is coming out on July 15, I figured I should give it another go.

Why is it so addicting?
Here are three...count 'em...THREE reasons. (there are obvi way more than this...)

**If you haven't read all of the books, I'd suggest not reading this...unless you want it to be spoiled**

1. The Weasley Twins.

George & Fred are probably my favorites.
They are always cracking jokes.
(seen above laughing above at some witty remark Fred just made.)
Harry and others in the books can be very serious, but leave it to Fred & George to be the comic relief.
Favorite Event:
5th year, Harry Potter & the Order of the Phoenix.
Dolores Umbridge has taken over Hogwarts and Fred & George have had enough. They pull one last prank, do some fireworks, and take off on their brooms. Suck on that, Dolores. (this part is not in the movie, which is quite upsetting.)
If you ever see me reading Harry Potter and laughing, you'll know it is because of one of Fred & George's many quips.

2. Ron & Hermione Love Affair
These two. This is during the fourth book when Ron really realizes he likes Hermione.
Looks like things are really heating up.

This whole series is kinda a "will they, won't they?" situation.
I just think it's so cute how they really like each other.
I also like that J.K. Rowling does not have them kiss until the almost very end of Book Seven.
They are teenagers and always dealing with Voldemort...so I feel waiting until the 7th book was appropriate.

I t a l s o k e e p s m e o n m y t o e s .

From book one you can tell they have a little crush on each other. She is always more upset when Ron is mad at her than Harry.
Also, let me point out that I'm glad it's not Harry & Hermione.
Too obvious.
Ron & Hermione go way better togetha.


3. Good vs. Evil

I like any book series that has a good vs. evil plot. Harry Potter, Chronicles of Narnia, The Mortal Instruments, Lord of the Rings. (just to name a few.) The Harry vs. Voldemort (eek! i mean you-know-who) saga is phenomenal. It is so intricate and every detail is important. From Harry being an actual horcrux and Voldemort transferring powers, it is all awesome.
I love Rowling's writing style and the way she describes Harry's constant struggle within. That is just something you can't get from the movies.
Thank you, HP books.

Here is the trailer for the eighth and final movie in case you haven't seen it yet.
I am not a fanatic that goes at midnight...but I am oh so excited for this.
(I'm still missing Dobby)
