Emotions, Loss, Growth, Resistance

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix by J. K. Rowling, narrated by Jim Dale

June 30, 2017 by faintingviolet 3 Comments

*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

March 10, 2017 by Emmalita 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 […]

Rereading Harry Potter for Sanity and Resistance, Book 2

February 24, 2017 by Emmalita Leave a Comment

The second Harry Potter book is not my favorite in the series. It’s not bad, it’s just not my favorite. I am going to assume that if you are reading this review you are familiar with the series and I’m not going to worry about spoilers. That said, it’s the one where some very important political ideas are brought forward – most importantly, how do we divide ourselves, how do we treat people who are not exactly like us? Dobie the House Elf makes his […]

ReReading Harry Potter for Sanity and Resistance Book 1

February 17, 2017 by Emmalita 9 Comments

I, too, am re-reading the Harry Potter series. I discovered the series after the third book had been published, but before book 4. I was house sitting for a work friend and she had left the books on the kitchen table with a note that I might enjoy them. I read all three over 2 days. I remember going to my local Barnes & Noble and being devastated that the 4th book hadn’t been published. I remember reading the last book in the Toronto airport […]
