Welcome to Litsy!

I think it would have to be a parent/child read-along, with really frank discussions about the problematic aspects both within the stories and with the author herself, but I still think they‘re important for kids to read. Not only do they have the power to inspire a love of reading, but they‘re designed to grow with the reader.
One of my greatest regrets about never having kids is that I won‘t get to experience sharing these with my own child.

I‘m so excited for the #mws it‘s my first ever swap!

This past Saturday, we headed into the city for Harry Potter Day at the ballpark. Complete with Hogwarts scarves, photo ops, potions class, players getting sorted into houses, and Dumbledore threw out the first pitch!

Who loves Fantasy well i bet Harry Potter will be a good choice for you

Was in the mood for a reread so decided to try it on audio!

Marking Harry‘s birthday with the re-listening of the books. I haven‘t re-read them in over two years. Reading the entire series on Harry‘s birthday was a long time tradition of mine….time to revisit my favorite series. #jkrowlingstillsucks #books #booklover #reader

Did a buddy read with my husband of the first Harry Potter book. This was a re-read for me but it was a first for him. We had so much fun reading each chapter to each other. My husband even did the voices while reading. I highly enjoyed revisiting Harry's beginnings and remembering Peeves. 4.5 ⭐️

I‘ve been remembering with this re-read how much I‘ve always loved Neville; his quiet courage and insistence on carrying on when things get tough remind me of Samwise Gamgee, who‘s my favourite character in Lord of the Rings.

A re-read for me. I‘m not sure what I could say that hasn‘t been said before about this book. This was my #bookspin pick for June, the prompt being “banned book tbr”
“It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live.”

Finally started on my wall of witchcraft and wizardry. Just a few more touches and it will be finished. However, the best part is the book nook one of my besties gave me for Christmas finally has its forever home. 💗💗🧙‍♀️💗💗

The Mirror of Erised wall has gotten a paint upgrade! There has been a flurry of house work happening here, but this may be my favorite addition. I love how the Mirror looks on the green! 💚👑 #homeprojects #housepainting #summerbreak #teachersoflitsy

Read the books a long time ago so now listening to them from the beginning I love the movies however, Prisoner of Azkaban is my favorite book and movie. I‘m a proud Hufflepuff and my favorite character is Luna Lovegood 🧙‍♀️🪄

I had never read Harry Potter before. Mostly because of the environment I grew up in. My son recently turned 10 and asked to borrow Harry Potter from the library. I of course let him - joyed that he was excited to read. He loved it so much, and suggested I read it. It was a beautiful story of a mothers love. I‘m hooked, and can‘t wait to read this series with my boy. 🩵 🧙 5 🌟

Say it ain't just our household 🤦‍♀️🫠

Savage 😂

I'm so moved ?
My daughter visited a Gala with my brother in law today, I gave her some "spending money" for some treats for herself. Apparently, she jumped up and down and pointed at a Hogwarts sign and shouted "mummy!" Knowing my love of all things Harry Potter. She chose to buy me a bottle of bubble bath in my fave Hogwarts House colours with her money and was so excited to give it to me when I finished work.
I didn't cry, I promise ??

"I hope you're pleased with yourselves. We could all have been killed — or worse, expelled. Now if you don't mind, I'm going to bed."

This Harry Potter pop-up book is one of my now prized possessions. It is such a fun addition to my book collection. The illustrations bring this book to life in such a fun new way. I would recommend this to any parent introducing Harry Potter to their children for the first time. The illustrations are colorful, and enhance the experience so much.

I just finished listening to the audiobook of this book. I have read this series before. I just wanted something to listen to when I am cleaning, cooking, or crocheting. I love the characters!! I rated this book a 4 out of 5 stars.

More from each book in a series instead of a movie, so that‘s a plus

#DoubleSpin #52Books23 #ABookEveryoneElseHasRead Finally! I did it….I listened to HP on audio and actually found it to be beguiling 🥰My SIL was so excited to see me listening to his favorite series that he convinced me to continue on agreeing to one book a month until the end of the year 🤓 #PigsMustBeFlying 🐷 Maybe I am a #PotterHead @julesG 😂😂

Guess who‘s listening to Harry Potter? Guess who‘s enjoying Harry Potter? I get it!! I‘m utterly charmed 😊You are SO RIGHT @DGRachel Jim Dale‘s narration is PHENOMENAL 🙌🏻 #DoubleSpin and my choice for #ABookEveryoneElseHasRead #52Books23

#MarchMadness #DailyChallenge. Top left is my dad the person who got me into reading with our family dog Sheba. She and I grew up together. Top right is my daughter being pongo from 101 Dalmatians and bottom was my Alfie pretending to be Harry Potter. He was a crazy pup sadly dying too soon, loved the vets but scared of baby rabbits.

As of now from reading Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, I have learned that Harry Potter carries a scar on his forehead which he has had ever since he was young due to an incident. Furthermore in my English class, students including myself have created projects on human aspects from the text of The Bet. For my project, I talked about the importance of human interactions when it comes to living in the world and how they can be beneficial.

Harry Potter is invited to attend Hogwarts. At the school, he learns about witchcraft and wizardry.

I enjoyed listening to this very much… it is a new way to immerse myself in the wizarding world of Harry Potter!!

Here are my top 9 audiobooks/series … books I felt were made infinitely better by the narration. I DNF‘d many in paper format and now they are my favorite books of all time due to the phenomenal narration. Just remember I lean towards Grimdark & have a questionable sense of humor. Are there any books you prefer in audio format?

Good.

I‘ve decided to reread the HP series for the first time since… well since the books came out. While I do not support the author and their horrific views, I‘m hoping the story still feels as fun as the first time around. 📖

I am absolutely obsessed with this book. The pop up illustrations are so creative and beautiful. This well loved book was turned into a beautiful masterpiece full of adventure by Mina Lima. I would recommend this book to not only anyone who looks Harry Potter but also teachers and parents of kids who love Harry Potter but maybe aren‘t old enough to read it yet!

My first ever audio book had to be Harry Potter ⚡️

My Alfie pretending he's Harry Potter. Sadly no longer with is but we have some wonderful memories and he loved lying underneath the tree.

One can never have enough socks, said Dumbledore.

Great book to start off a great and fun series. Would recommend for 5th grade and up!

Speculative Fiction. This book does a fantastic job of introducing you to the wizarding world of Harry Potter. Its great detail and larger than life imageries make you feel like you are in the world yourself.

I have had this conversation with so many people, and as we get older we believe that Time goes by so fast when were younger we don‘t think about really the future of the past. We only think about what we‘re doing at that moment, and we‘re living in the moment, and now we only live in the future or the past.
