We're up to the fourth book already! If you're still on PoA you can keep discussing it, or the other two books as much as you want!

This thread is for talking about the book, how it makes you feel now, how you remember feeling the first time you read it. Anything that catches your attention or clues you've found that reveal something in the later books.

Happy posting!

I always thought GoF was my least favorite book, but after re-reading it (again) it has kind of grown on me. Maybe it was because I was looking for specific things that I really paid attention to it. I still consider GoF my least favorite, but I now like it better than I did!

Some questions did arise, which I will post in the questions forum. They mostly have to do with why wizards/witches us magic in some instances and not in others.

i thought it was kind of funny/foreshadowy (even though thats not a word) how voldemort tells wormtail at the beginning that he has a special job for wormtail that most of his followers would give their right hand for.

GoF is prob the one book I have read the least. It is way to drawn out and skips around alot. I understand that a big tourney occurs and Harry "accidentally" has his name thrown into the Goblet. Again I don't really have anything to discuss about this book, other than it was way too long....

I think that I have read GoF for the third time. My memory isn't always good so I'm not sure if I read it twice ot three times. I think the first time I read it, I just mainly got the basics of the action. After that I started reading what others wrote about it, and spending more time with each chapter. I think now it is the pivotal book the series, where Voldemort comes to a greater power in a body, and gathers his "army" together..

I also noticed that when Harry is leaving Hogwarts at the end he can't see the thestrals as he still refers to the "horseless carriages," even though this is after he watched Cedric die. So there is some inconsistency in the next book.

They say that in order to see thestrals the death really has to sink in. I think as Harry was leaving Hogwarts, the death had still been really fresh in his mind and maybe he was hoping none of that had ever happened. After all, this was the first death Harry had experienced in his life that he could react to as a more mature being.

I just doubt that seeing thestrals is instantaneous. Course, then again, I'm still reading GoF (Voldemort has just risen again) and I don't remember exactly how the end goes, but I think they talked about deaths sinking in in order to see thestrals.
