Well, when I left off, I was at Prisoner of Azkaban. What have I done in the past two months? Read the whole effing series. With a little help from books on tape (and about 6 hours of driving a day, thanks to Lisa's busted ass car), I was able to read all of the final four books, knocking them out in about a book every two weeks. It got increasingly harder to put down, culminating with me polishing the last book off over the weekend. My favorite of the series? Probably the last one. It was definitely the most emotional one, and the one that took place nearly entirely outside of Hogwarts. It gets docked a few points because all the loose ends were not tied up (you do not find out the fate of some main characters, and some main characters are pulled away with no lead up; they just appear, dead, with no word how).
Favorite overall character (not part of the main three): Actually, strangely enough, Ginny Weasley. Every time she was on the page, she left me with a smile on my face. That girl has some fire.
Favorite Overall Character: Harry Potter. It sounds cheesy, but he really is a great empathetic character, sort of like Frodo in LoTR.
Where to go from here? I am going through the books again. I do not want to leave the Harry Potter world at this point, so I am going to reread them all from the beginning. I should be able to pick up a great amount of stuff I missed in the first go round.
