Happy Birthday Harry!... and J.K Rowling, of course

So if you haven't already heard it about a million other times today, IT'S HARRY POTTER AND J.K ROWLINGS' BIRTHDAY!!!!!!

So of course I felt the need to mention it briefly here on the blog. :)

In this post I'll be showing some Harry related things such as the many, MANY different covers. {Book covers that is.} ...And some other random things I decide to add while listening to The Sorcerers Stone movie soundtrack.

First off I want give a brief history of me and Harry Potter:

I was given The Sorcerer's Stone and The Chamber of Secrets when I was in 2nd grade. {Read and gently used by my cousin} To this day I still own them which I take pride in because they are the original copies.

I was in third grade when I actually started the magical series, though. As soon as I read The Sorcerer's Stone my little third-grade mind was entranced. I read the first book in about three days and soon after moved onto the second. I became a reading machine of sorts and was finished with the fourth book before I even knew what hit me. By the fourth grade I had finished four of the books in the series.

After a few weeks of battling with my mom I was able to attain book #5 {The Order of the Phoenix.} Obviously I started it (almost) immediately. I was reading it slowly, unlike how I had read the other books, and I was getting side-tracked from reading. Before I knew it it was time to go to camp. Of course I brought it with me and read some of it.

When I got home I read about a page and then put it down.

I picked it back up after about a year and by then it was too late. I didn't remember what I had read and I couldn't get back into the story.

....And I haven't attempted to since then.

Although, I've really been feeling in a HP mood so maybe I'll re-read and finish the series soon. :)

Cover Things...

I really like the French editions, too. Maybe I'll learn how to read French so I can have a good reason for buying these editions. {You know besides the pretty cover.}


















If you want to listen to the HP soundtrack's for free then I recommend Spotify... Just saying. :)
And yes, I have been listening to the Hp Soundtrack's the entire time I've been typing this. I can't get over the score. WHY IS IT SO UNNATURALLY AMAZING?!?!?!?
