As one of my summer goals was the read AT LEAST one Harry Potter book, I took Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone from the bookcase upstairs on Monday right after I wrote my blog. However, I didn't get to start it until Tuesday evening due to school. And even then I was too tired so only managed a few chapters. I took it with me on Wednesday when I went to see Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 2 - which was amazing by the way, a lot of action in it and even funny in places - so I could read it on the bus, as I would have nobody to sit with.
By midnight on Thursday I had read 99 pages. And I am not pretty proud of myself that I have finished the last 124 pages today!! And I'm really not much of a reader. Ask anyone I know and they will agree!
I'm kind of annoyed with myself that I haven't read this amazing books before, they really are great. Ok, well I tried once before the read but I got bored by the first page, I had a low attention span! It could also be partly down to the fact that I was convinced that reading was bad for your eyes. My excuse for not reading being this because all librarians and a lot of English teachers have glasses because they read too much. At the time I felt my excuse was pretty good and now I just think it is funny. I know I was being stereotypical but never mind, it's funny!
I have now got Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets off of the bookcase from upstairs and will start it in a while! I will let you know how this one goes.
I shall leave you with a few of my favourite quotes from the latest film:
- 'Not my daughter, you bitch!'
- 'Yeah, you and whose army?'
- 'That's my girlfriend you numpties!
- 'I've always wanted to use that spell'
