Group Read 📖

[Professor Cyndi Kingsley]

We've done this before and hope that enough of you will be interested enough in joining this again. This year we've decided to include a group (re) read of one of the books. Which one you might ask? Well that will be up to you!

Starting today, we'd like you to vote on which book you'd want to re-read and majority will decide which one we start in one week's time! Feel free to post below and advocate for your choice!

Once we begin the book, we hope you'll join us in sharing stories about your memories reading the books for the first time, or your thoughts as you read the book for the 20 th time and anything else you want to about being part of the fandom. If you want to post a picture of your copy, that would be great too!

Vote away! I'm looking forward to seeing which book wins! You can only vote once per RPer so make it count!

I feel like we should definitely start with Philosopher's Stone. Because it's what started it all! Without the first book, none of us would be here today and it's highly likely almost none of us would know each other!

 

[Professor Cyndi Kingsley]

This is giving me a good reason to stop putting off re-ordering all the books. Most of my old set are shared copies so I'm ordering them all today and they'll be mine, all mine

 

[Amber Chou Wilson]

I'm not picking the first one because I've read that one too many times, honestly, on failed attempts at rereading I was halfway through a reread of the series, so I picked book 4.

I'm collecting the Hufflepuff paperback editions now.

 

[Elliot Briar]

I gotta go for the first book, if only cause I only managed to save my original copies of the first 3 books from my parent's place last time I visited. (Though the third book might be my favourite )

 

[Luxen Silverback II]

We have the original set and have been picking up the illustrated editions as they come out.

I like Half Blood Prince, my favorite is Prisoner of Azkaban but HBP has alot of goodies in it just like HnZ lol

Didn't know they had house editions that sounds pretty cool.

 

[Hezekiah Mowry]

I voted for the 5th but I only have the first one. I will def be buying the fifth regardless. Hehe

 

[Willow Cullen]

I voted for the philosophers stone because I can access both the ebook and audiobook in danish though my library. and it would be good practice for me.

 

[Amber Chou Wilson]

Didn't know they had house editions that sounds pretty cool.

They have two versions, paperback and hardcover, for each house. I have the first 3

They have some extra text about Hufflepuff and illustrations. I imagine the extra text in the other house books might be a bit more expansive as there's very little of Hufflepuff to go off

Is picking book 4 my way of trying to find an excuse to buy it? Maybe.

 

[Rosemarie Chatwin]

I got the Ravenclaw ones Daphne and it isn't a lot either :3

 

[Rowan Baros]

that's coz we're the only house without a prominent character storyline

 

[Jasper Night]

I feel like Ravenclaw got more than Hufflepuff... slightly

 

[Rowan Baros]

Ya'll got Newt okay

 

[Amber Chou Wilson]

Ya'll got Newt okay

I don't count the Fantastic Beasts movies because I do not like them.

 

[Professor Cyndi Kingsley]

I reordered them! I wanted the hardcovers because they came in a trunk but they were out of stock

 

[Rowan Baros]

I don't count the Fantastic Beasts movies because I do not like them.

you don't have to like them, they still happened

 

[Amber Chou Wilson]

you don't have to like them, they still happened

But we were talking about the books

 

[Rowan Baros]

But we were talking about the books

Ah, but Fantastic Beasts is a book

 

[Amber Chou Wilson]

Ah, but Fantastic Beasts is a book

You know the textbook doesn't count

 

[Luxen Silverback II]

You know the textbook doesn't count

okay but you did get Cedric for two books and he was the first big death lol

 

[Rowan Baros]

You know the textbook doesn't count

Textbook is a book tho

Jokes, fair call though. At least you have the right colours and mascot. I will forever be bitter

 

[Amber Chou Wilson]

Ravenclaw got Luna!

 

[Luxen Silverback II]

Ravenclaw got Luna!

Luna didn't beat Harry at Quidditch and steal his crush lol only the Hufflepuff did lol

I absolutely love the illustrated editions, especially Prisoner of Azkaban and Goblet of Fire!
For this, I picked the Goblet of Fire because it was the first book I managed to finish on my own (I've got a bad case of dyslexia so my Dad helped me read the first three), it holds loads of fun memories for me.
