I've been in and out love titting today. I love Dobby, Kreacher, and Hagrid, but my favorite has to be Neville. I fell in love with the character, and his progression from the first to the last book is amazing. I was hoping we would discover that it was him all along who would defeat Voldemort and not Harry.
Blah blah something about devil's handwork. Blah blah detracts from glory of God.
I worked with a lady who said she refused to have anything to do with HP, because in one of the books they use babies to make potions. I had no idea what the hell she was talking about. I looked it up online, and apparently she was talking about the mandrake being used in COS. LMFAO!
I told her they were plants, and they didn't actually use them until they were matured (no babies going into potions). She said it was still witchcraft, and she was disappointed that I liked HP so much.

That would have passed me right off. I kept thinking "if they make or Neville, I'm sending a strongly worded letter"
I'm the meanest mom ever and haven't let DS read all the books yet, but he just turned 12 so we're going to read the last 2. I've read them a billion times.
While I do like Ronmione, I was hoping a little for some Draco redemption and Dramione. I have a soft spot for that genre of fanfic.
I could see this. A redemption for his misled youth. She's one of the few who can put him in his place. It also plays in to dumbledore's statement of sorting too soon.
I would really love to have my kids read one book a year starting at 11 so they could grow up with the characters, but that's totally unrealistic. I will however do my damndest to enforce not watching the movie before reading (or listening to) the books!

I've been sitting on my Dramione love and trying to decide if I should share it or not.

YOU CANNOT POST A SNAKE GIF WITHOUT WARNING!!!!
Prisoner of Azkaban was my least favourite movie but I honestly don't remember much about the first three. I need to read them again because it was so long ago.
I remember finding The Half Blood Prince boring and long until the last 100 pages or so when Dumbeldore starts explaining the hot tuxes. But I think I was young and impatient lol Oh darn, I guess I should buy the illustrated ones since we don't have the first three I'm convinced.
I'm just catching up on this thread. I legit cried when Sirius, Dobby, and Snape died. I liked Dumbledore but his death didn't hold the same level of emotion for me.
The Deathly Hallows movies were my favorite of the series. I loved both parts. I STILL feell sad that the magic of reading one of the books or watching one of the movies for the first time is over.
I sobbed when Dumbledore died. I cried for the others sure, but I sobbed for Dumbledore.

My parents wouldn't let me read the books because witchcraft. # relevant
Same. My rebellious streak in high school had me hiding them in my locker at school and reading them in between classes. Funny because now they like the movies (endless loop on tv and all).
MH will watch the movies, but refuses to read the books.
My own Harry UO- he should have stayed single. He didn't have room for a romantic relationship and that's ok. I like book Ginny more than movie Ginny at least.
DD is 7 and we just finished the third book. Damn dementors gave her nightmares so we are going to hold off on the next book for now. We read a book and then watch the movie. Read a book. Watch a movie. I'm going to watch the movie before I let her see it since the dementors bothered her so much. I'd forgotten how much I loved the books. I looked forward to reading them every night. I still pretend Fred, Hedwig, and Dobby didn't die. I haven't seen any movies past POA because I didn't want to see Dumbledore die.

I am waaaay behind in my comments so bare with me. I cried while reading most of the deaths. The actual death of Dumbledore didn't bother but his funeral did. Apparently I have quite the imagination because I truly thought his funeral was in the movies but I imagined it all. It was just a clear scene for me. I cried hardest for Fred. The idea of George living without Fred was devastating to me. Whoever posted about Fred becoming the Gryffindor ghost, I thank you. That makes me feel a little better. Also I got Harry Potter
