1. I really love the Harry Potter books**.
2. JK Rowling, for all the shit she takes over her prose style, writes really, really great fun plots.
3. The last couple of books could probably technically benefit from a far stricter edit but I'm sort of glad all that extra (read: semi-pointless) stuff I might have missed previously is in there to enjoy.
4. Ron is basically the true hero of the series, putting up with Harry being super famous and awesome all the time. Except of course for all those times he doesn't put up with him at all and, in fact, Loses His Shit.
5. Ron is also quite a shit wizard. Am I wrong?
6. George Weasley may be gay. AM I WRONG? I may be wrong and maybe it's just wishful thinking but Fred Weasley is the only one who ever seems to get any action.
7. Casting choices made in the (ugh) movie versions have coloured my view of the books forever. I now can't read the books without finding the characters of Sirius and Snape kinda, ummmmmm, hot. Thanks for nothing Gary Oldman and Alan Rickman (call me!)
8. I really love the Harry Potter books.
* re-reading is misleading because this time around I listened to them on audiobook, which was basically perfect.
** Not sure I can bear to go back and re-read the first two, though. Sure they're short but I do remember them being on the, um, simple side.
