A complete Harry Potter read through.
Week 6 | CoS Chapters 11-12

I almost didn't post this today because I thought it was Tuesday for some reason lol! I flopped at writing the chapters down while writing my thoughts etc. for each chapter since I read ahead (oop XD), so please for give me if I'm a chapter off <3
Aw. Our first meeting with Fawkes <3
I still can't believe that the Dursley's sent Harry a toothpick with that note. The nerve! They really are massive pieces of work.
I wonder how confused Crabbe and Goyle were when they woke up in a closet with no shoes lmao. They probably concluded that someone was trolling them, but it's all hilarious.
I wonder how many questions came up in the hospital wing about how Hermione ended up like a cat. Well, at least she finally got Lockheart's autograph lol. I'm dead that she was hiding it under her pillow when Harry and Ron came to see her.
IMAGINE ASKING SNAPE FOR A RECIPE FOR A GOOD LOVE POTION. lmaooooo imagine if someone actually went and asked him?!
Oh Harry. How could you ever believe that it was Hagrid who opened the Chamber of Secrets?!




Did anyone else see on Twitter that JK said Newts patronus is a huge spoiler for the next movie? I've kind of thought maybe it was a Phoenix? Something to do with Fawkes...don't know how it fits, but since Dumbledore does think so highly of Newt...not sure where I'm going with this XD
I really loved the scene with Dumbledore's office, but I wasn't able to really appreciate it until the movies came out. Absolutely breath-taking!
The scene during potions where Harry puts the firecracker in Goyle's cauldron - I laughed so hard! The cupcakes with Crabbe and Goyle! Too many great scenes during the last two chapters.
Poor Harry, everyone thinks he's the bad guy!
I haven't seen that! I must admit that I don't follow JKR's twitter XD I usually hear about things she's said on it from other people lol. That is interesting! You're talking about the new HP movies right? I haven't seen it yet. I'm busy being butthurt that they've got Depp coming in to replace one of the actors XD
Dumbledore's office is truly a fascinating spot in the HP world. He has so many interesting things in there! It was so exciting when we first got to see it come to life for the movie.
YESSSSS. I bust up every time. It's funny that Harry talks (or thinks) about how he knows that Snape somehow knows what's going on in his mind whenever there's some shenanigans going on. What a surprise it was when it turned out that it was because he did know lol. He just looked at Harry and knew for sure it was him without any other proof other than he was prying into his mind!
I know! Poor Harry goes through this so many times for various reason. The guy just can't catch a break on and off through the series!
My favourite thing in these chapters are Harry’s first meeting with the office of Dumbledore. I love how he dares to put on the Sorting Hat even though he dares not look around. It’s certainly a room I would love to have a look around in, just imagine all the weird and neat things Dumbledore kept there.
Same here. It brought me back to how exciting it was when we saw Dumbledore's office come to life in the movie adaptation because he has such a intriguing office. It cracks me up that Harry's curiosity always wins, so he put that Sorting Hat on to see if it answers the questions burning in his mind even though he thinks he probably shouldn't touch anything. I can just imagine how much Dumbledore's interesting, weird, and sometimes kooky collection took form in his office.
I imagine it is the kind of room where you always see something new and could get lost in for many hours. I am sure I could get both lost and comfortable there! Yes, his curiosity wins, but he always removed the hat when it only repeated he would have done well in Slytherin. He didn’t have the patience or will to hear if something more was forthcoming.
