And Harry's Journey Continues...

Again, plane rides are very conducive to reading a book. I'm about half way done with Harry Potter 7. I literally cannot put this book down. LOVE IT. Harry, Ron, and Hermione are now officially on their quest to destroy the Horcruxes. Kreature was able to capture Mundungus Fletcher, and he confessed that he sold the locket of Slytherin to Umbridge (the ex-professor of Hogwarts). They use the Pollyjuice Potion yet again, to transform themselves into Ministry workers. They barley get out of the ministry with the locket, but they are able to get it. Now, they have the locket, but aren't quite sure how to destroy it. They realize that the locket does have the ability to make whoever is wearing it's mood change.
Well, I did see the movie yesterday. Thank goodness I had already read the book before. So nothing was spoiled for me. There were some differences between the book and the movie. At the wedding for example, Harry uses the Pollyjuice Potion to become a little red-headed boy so the people at the wedding didn't know he was there. But in the movie, Harry came to the wedding as is. They cut out a lot of the scenes in the beginning, like when Harry sends off the Dursleys, Harry's birthday party, and when Harry, Ron, and Hermione discuss their plans. Also, Hedwig's death was a lot different than the movie. All and all, the movie was fabulous! Nothing like the book of course. :)

The Locket of Slytherin! One of the Horcruxes.

HP 7

          Harry Potter 7: My Book      Bill & Fleur's Wedding      The Symbol For The 3 Dealthy Hallows

After reading it a second time, I realize why I think it's the best of them all. I love JK Rowling so much as an author. Her ability to tie every single detail together in the end amazes me beyond belief. She writes with such description, and helps the reader to understand each character completely. This captures my interest like none other. I don't think I'd be able to read another 760 page book if it wasn't Harry Potter. I'm definitely an HP nerd. Haha. But anyways, Bill (Ron's brother) and Fleur just got married, so now Harry, Ron, & Hermione are off on their epic battle to destroy the Horcruxes, or the bits of Voldemort's soul that they must rid of before they can actually kill him. Harry is dead set on going to Godrick's Hollow (the place where his parents died & where he survived the killing curse), but they end up going to Grimmauld Place to talk to Kreature about where the locket is. Anyways... that's about where I left off. More to come!

Lots Of Reading On The Plane

I continue on reading HP 7. Everyone else has seen the movie, except me. I choose to ski down hills in Colorado instead. But I did get my Harry Potter fix on the plane. I read a good 100 pages, so thankfully I'm about a quarter the way through my book. Reading it a second time, I'm definitely a lot more aware of the significance of little things. I'm able to grasp the overall effect of small details as well.

Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows: My SSR Book

Currently on page 80. Although I've already read this book two years ago, I'm reading it again before the movie comes out. Definitely when you ready a book the second time you have a better overall understanding of the concepts, and can easily pick up smaller details.
