Cbr11bingo I love this. When the first Harry Potter book came out, I read a review of it in the New York Times and thought it sounded like a fun series for kids. After The Chamber of Secrets came out, the Quality Paperback Book Club (of which I was a card carrying member) offered a deal to get both volumes in hard cover, so I took advantage of it. Like millions of people around the world, I fell in love the the stories and their […]

It is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (Harry Potter, #3) by J.K. Rowling

Oh, wow, so it’s been a month since I read this. Good thing I’ve read it five billion times; my reactions are always fresh and ready to go! And also I took pictures of all the quotes I wanted to talk about. This review is not quite the 10,000 words as requested, but I suppose it will do. (I anticipate my review of Goblet of Fire to be monstrous.) I just needed to get this done before I started the next one on 4/1. Ooh, […]

Boulders, Heartstrings, and thoughts on The Prisoner of Azkaban

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban by J. K. Rowling, narrated by Jim Dale

*Note: This review was completed in 2017 before the author’s views towards our trans siblings began to be widely known.  My reading experience was what it was and these reviews will remain up, but it should be noted that I find her TERF values abhorrent, which have only become more clear over time, and her doubling down in Summer 2020 has made the decision to walk away from her as a creative force the only acceptable choice for me. I will no longer be supporting […]

Rereading and Co-Writing with Angry Dimples – Harry Potter for Sanity and Resistance, Book 3

by 12 Comments

This is the last of the Harry Potter books that I consider to be within the Children’s genre. After this, I will label them as YA. Joining me in this review is Angry Dimples, a Pajiban and new Cannonballer. We have no respect for new readers. If you don’t know the whole series, stop reading now. There will be no spoiler coddling! My main prompt for starting The Great 2017 Harry Potter Reread was Angry Dimples. She started her own reread and wanted to talk […]

Yer Going to Get Sick of All The Harry Potter Reviews CBR

by 6 Comments

As I confessed in my Sorcerer’s Stone review I haven’t read the series past Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban; it is my secret shame but I feel good confessing it and rectifying my mistakes. I have seen Prisoner of Azkaban the most out of all the Harry Potter adaptations because my husband prefers to skip the first two and we usually lose steam in our marathons before getting to Deathly Hallows. Harry escapes from 4 Privet Drive, after exploding his Aunt, and expects to be reprimanded by the Ministry of Magic. Instead […]
