“It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live.”

This story is one that I would love to get to read as a chapter book to one of my classes. It is so descriptive and shows how we can create the imaginative worlds and put them into writing. I think this would engage young readers and get the exciting about both reading and writing. You could also go off and create whole lessons in different subjects based on this book.

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's stone is a wonderful speculative fiction book that follows Harry Potter who learns about a world of wizardry that he was born into on his 11th birthday. The first book looks into his first year at boarding school which is at a school for wizards, and introduces the magical world of Hogwarts and the friends and adventures he encounters along the way.

🍁Strong, quiet, dedicated
🍁🍁 I don‘t mind this perspective, but personally doesn‘t entirely capture my essence but others might disagree I guess
🍁🍁🍁 I‘ve been trying to think all day about this and really can‘t think of much, maybe Hermione Granger is the one that comes to mind, especially since rereading this with our boys right now.

Thanks @Eggs for the tag

"It takes a great deal of bravery to stand up to our enemies, but jus much to stand up to our friends."

If I had gone to a boarding school, I would have wanted it to be Hogwarts. Or Beauxbatons, like Fleur Delacour.

Borrowed the book from my daughter for the photo 😊

Hogwarts was the best boarding school and I wish I could attend!

A fun read, loved the illustrated version, looking forward to Book 2. 🧙

#AboutABook #YouveReread
I've reread the entire series a few times.
@Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

Confession time: I‘ve never made it through Harry Potter, but I‘ve read Book 1 and part of Book 2 so long ago I can‘t really remember. I‘ve collected various versions (originals, illustrated, Kindle, audio, the set with Hogwarts on the spine), so I‘m all set to make it happen. Here we (the dogs and I) go…🧙‍♀️

Rereading the series with @ruthmoeller for the millionth time. It always brings me such comfort. I couldn‘t help noticing this time how incredible Mrs. Weasley and Hagrid are to Harry. Before either of them even know him well, they welcome him and make him feel like family with gifts at Christmas, kind words, and an understanding that he needs friends and not fans. Also, Hogwarts is a ridiculously dangerous school to send your kids to. 🤣

🦉📜 An owl brought my letter tonight! Time to go back to Hogwarts.

Thanks for the tag @Eggs 😺
1- Nope
2- I'm guessing quidditch counts, because other than the Harry Potter books, I can't think of any.

1) Yes, when I‘m pressed for time and can‘t forget anything. The fam has been living off my to-do list for getting ready for vacation overseas (we leave tomorrow)

2) Tagged. Not sure who sets the student schedules, or perhaps it‘s wizardry. 😃 🧙

Thanks for the tag @TheSpineView !

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great read & love the movies .

This was a lot of fun! We got to see the movie with a symphony playing the score. So much cheering and yelling! The nerd in me had a blast!

Finally got Butterbeer at Harry Potter World in Orlando, FL!

Rather than a welcome it is a welcome back for me!

I went through a few very rough years and then rage-deleted my profile when the android thing happened. However, I missed this community so much. When I finally ended up with an Ipad I knew I had to come back.

So excited to see so many of the old faces still here!!!

Found this in a Bulgarian bookstore and my little American heart is screaming with joy!

We have 4 copies of the Harry Potter series.
1. Hard Copy
2. Paperback
3. Kindle Version
4. Audio book version

We also have multiple copies of Dracula, Interview With the Vampire and the Hobbit.

Thanks for the tag @julieclair

1) no one sticking out particularly 😬 maybe my grandmother
2) my children, my close friends
3) The Weasleys from Harry Potter - love how this family sticks together

#WondrousWednesday @Eggs

The MinaLima edition is so beautiful; the cover, the illustrations and the pop outs! Can‘t wait to read The Chamber of Secrets next!

Going back to some good old childhood favorites 🫶🏻

#LitsyCrafters
Finished 2 cabinets. The one with the wand boxes was especially time consuming. Lots of time spent waiting for glue to dry 😆

5/5 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌕 #harrypotter #magic #fantasy #hogwarts

After weeks of bailing on almost everything (this is only the 3rd book I‘ve finished this month which is unheard of for me), I decided to take the advice Littens always seem to give each other about ending book slumps - change genres or reread an old favorite. I decided to let Jim Dale reread HP for me. I don‘t think the slump is broken, but I am grateful for the comfort (re)read. Onward to Chamber of Secrets

Hat stall. Every. Single. Time. 🤣

What's your house?!

#WondrousWednesday @Eggs

1. Nope. My mother says she saw this little cute girl one day at beach, asked her name and then she told her, “if I have another daughter, I will call her Gisela Marie”. And here I am with the name 😂

2. From my mother and father side just one, 2 years older than me but looks younger than me 🤷🏽‍♀️

3. I will go with a fantasy family... The Weasleys. The first book is so good to know them ❤️

Thank you @TheSpineView 🥰

Not really book related but I've been obsessed with making miniature kits lately. My kid got me this one for Christmas and it's the biggest one I've put together so far. I love how it came out. ❤️
