Yes, you read that correctly, chapter by chapter re-read. I'm not going to lie this was half inspired by a Harry Potter re-read that one of the authors on the Tor blog is doing (here, if you want to check it out) and half inspired by the fact that I read far, far, far too much fanfiction and I am currently reading a, not yet finished, reading the books fic, a massive 147 chapter (soon to be 148 (it updates every Friday) whopper (here, go ahead, read it, it's wonderful, even if it's not finished yet and I don't usually like reading unfinished fanfiction (for the same reason I don't like getting into shows a few seasons in, cause I'll binge watch (or in this case binge read) and then there's nothing left and I'm back to waiting for weekly (or worse, biweekly) updates) but I love this one and it's a totally new perspective of the series, from a fanfiction point of view (the other reading the books fic I was reading got deleted I was not impressed, I've always wanted to see what the characters opinions would be if they ever read the stories). It was also, kinda, sorta inspired by her publication of her Harvard commencement speech, Very Good Lives (read my review (well it's kind of a ramble) here)
Anywho, enough rambling. I will update my re-read as I go through and re-read the books (kind of the point) and I will most certainly try to be consistent in my posts but depending on life and my sometimes sieve-like brain my update schedule may change.
I'm going to tell you now and will put up a warning for every post, but, as this is a re-read and not a first time read I'm going to assume that you've read the books already. (If you haven't you totally should) and, I'm going to say it now and in every post
SPOILERS AHEAD: READ WITH CAUTION
I am aware that there are in fact people who haven't read Harry Potter and if they ever intend to I don't want to spoil it for them by not posting a spoiler warning. So, see you on the other side and look for chapter 1 (maybe 2) either later today (it now being the 24th of April where I am) or tomorrow, maybe even as late as Monday but I don't think it will come to that. Also, in the spirit of a Harry Potter Re-read I have created a poll of your favourite Ghost from the series, it will close on the day of the battle of Hogwarts, May 2...maybe, I might change the end date so the end date coincides with the last chapter review. If you have a favourite ghost I didn't mention let me know in comments and I'll add them in!
See you then Potterheads! Be Prepared for a roller-coaster of feels and fangirl ranting. I know a chapter by chaper re-read and review will be long but it'll be fun! See you on Privet Drive!
