A Potted History

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone by J. K. Rowling

August 4, 2022 by Caesar's Wife Leave a Comment

It seems ridiculous to pen a review of the first Harry Potter novel. This is a world-wide smash hit, everyone has read it (some numerous times – myself included). Everyone knows the story of The Boy Who Lived, and his tumultuous first year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. So why am I reviewing this book? Because my family, including my husband, five year old son, and two corgis drove 3,550km across Australia to play in the snow at the Snowy Mountains. We chunked […]

Harry Potter and Who Thought Up These Challenges for Kids?

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire by J.K. Rowling

December 31, 2021 by The Chancellor Leave a Comment

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire by J.K. Rowling My rating: 5 of 5 stars “The Goblet of Fire” always seems to announce a darker, more mature era of Harry Potter. I starts out all fun and games until the moment Harry finds himself involved in the tournament. Then things really escalate. I like that in this book we get to see two other schools from the magical world, although I wished we got more background and knew the characters better. It does expand […]

Harry Potter and I Want to Take These Classes

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban by J.K. Rowling

December 31, 2021 by The Chancellor Leave a Comment

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban by J.K. Rowling My rating: 5 of 5 stars It wasn’t until this read that “Prisoner of Azkaban” really stood out as one of my favorite books in the series. The film adaptation was the first that I saw and has always been one of my favorite films, but this read I really found the story engaging and saw the merit that a lot of my friends give it as one of their favorite books. One of the […]

Harry Potter and Abilities vs. Choices

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets by J.K. Rowling

December 31, 2021 by The Chancellor Leave a Comment

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets by J.K. Rowling My rating: 4 of 5 stars Compared to my re-reading of “The Sorcerer’s Stone”, I liked “The Chamber of Secrets a lot”. Maybe because the characters have all be established or they are a year older, I’m not sure. I just found that they weren’t as irritating to me as they were in Book 1. The movie adaptation of “Chamber of Secrets” is my least favorite out of the bunch. I find that the battle […]

Harry Potter and These Teachers Would Be Fired

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone by J.K. Rowling

December 31, 2021 by The Chancellor Leave a Comment

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone by J.K. Rowling My rating: 4 of 5 stars I started reading this book in an attempt to read all of the Harry Potter series with intention to look not only at the art of the writing but the message behind it all. What really stood out to me, instead, was the irresponsible, dangerous pedagogy at Hogwarts. Maybe starting out my twelfth year as a teacher, and the second year teaching during covid, really brought to light the pedagogy […]

I wish I was at Hogwarts

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone by J.K. Rowling

October 30, 2020 by LanierHgts 2 Comments

BINGO I WISH This is another review by Lala, the 11 year old.  She is the biggest Harry Potter fan and chose this book to review for the Bingo I Wish category, because who doesn’t wish they could be at Hogwarts? My favorite book in the Harry Potter series is the 1st one, Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone (or Sorcerer’s Stone if you are reading the American version).  I like this book best because it is the beginning.  It sets up all of the […]
