I'm wanting to re-read this anyway, so if anyone wants to join in with a discussion and throwing a few theories around (however wild), let's go for it. It's a fun book and I've not really discussed it anywhere yet.

So if we kick off with chapter 1...

I'll be reading that tonight! Thoughts coming tomorrow icon_book2.gif

What did you make of the opening?

I like that quote Hershey. I think it shows how clueless the muggle world is and how wrapped up in themselves they are. I'm not making much sense, but its something like that.

Also, it reminded me of the beginning of GoF. Both books start without Harry and set up the novel. I think the plot that follows is similar. Do you think Rowling did this on purpose?

LOL HG!!! I am quite sure that woman does very little without a purpose in mind. biggrin.gif


I am also looking forward to the end scene in Moody's office. Will they keep the foe glass? I certainly hope so.
