Prof. Moonie Mama Ame Prof. Moonie Mama Ame I realize now that I really WAS a teenager when I read Order of the Phoenix. I mean it still is my favorite Harry Potter book because Sirius plays a major roll and it introduces Luna and Tonks but...my God Harry was a ******** overly emotional teenager. Dear Lord... I would have to say that Half Blood Prince is my favorite book from the Harry Potter series. It's been awhile since I've read any of the books but I know that one really stood out to me in comparison to the others. Half Blood Prince is a really good one. I like that you start learning a lot more about Snape and hes not just "That a*****e teacher that hates Harry." Plus the end was exciting with the whole "Is he good or bad?" My least favorite is actually Chamber of Secrets. Which I know is a really popular one. I don't dislike it (because I don't dislike any of the books) but it just left the least impact on me. I think the 4th impacted me a lot because to me the fourth book is when it really changed from a kids series to an all ages series. That's what I love about them. They grow with the characters. The first book is about eleven year olds and it has a light happy feeling to it. By the last one its MUCH darker. I wasn't that fond of Chamber of Secrets either. Goblet of Fire was okay... but placed towards the bottom for me. Though I do agree that it does seem to be the turning part from the happy childhood to dark coming-of-age. Oh god finally someone who doesn't absolutely LOVE Goblet of Fire! Most people I ask say that one is their favorite. I enjoyed it. I really did. But it wasn't my favorite. I missed Quidditch and all of that. Things you expect from a HP novel didn't happen. They didn't happen in the 7th book either but we already knew they weren't because we knew he wasn't going back to school.

If I had to order the books in order from most favorite to least favorite, I think I would put them in this order: Half Blood Prince Deathly Hallows Prisoner of Azkaban Order of the Phoenix Sorcerer's Stone Goblet of Fire Chamber of Secrets

Mine would be...
Order of the Phoenix
Deathly Hallows
Prisoner of Azkaban
Half Blood Prince (only because I dislike the Harry and Ginny relationship. And that is literally the only reason its so far down the list)
I can't decide if I want Sorcerer's Stone or Goblet of Fire in 4th place so they're tied before 4th and 5th LOL. I enjoy them both but they're not on the top of my list.
and then Chamber of Secrets.

In the early books, when we discover Ginny has a crush on Harry, it was cute and adorable. But when they started growing up and what not, I wasn't that fond of the idea of them being together. Honestly, I liked the idea of Harry and Luna being together better. xd

Then she moved on. Then it seemed like JK Rowling HAD to give Harry a love interest. Ginny was there so she just used her. She wrote a press release saying she wished she would have paired Harry and Hermione together which would have been even worse than Harry and Ginny. Harry and Hermione always had a BFF/Sibling relationship in my eyes.

Their relationship actually seemed genuine and perfect. And I agree about the fact of Harry and Hermione having that BFF/Sibling relationship; I never picked up on any romantic signals at all between the two.

Ron and Hermione were perfect imo opinion. They weren't throw together right away but they had chemistry.
And yeah I never picked up on romantic feelings between Harry and Hermione either.

I told both my mother and my grandmother that I want amazon gift cards for my birthday.
So hopefully that'll be at least $50.00 in books.
Amazon has all five Game of Thrones books for $19.99 on kindle. Or you can get them each individual for $4.99 each. I think I'll get the set though since I'm not worried about seperate covers and all that.
I need The Infernal Devices: Clockwork Princess which is $9.99
The Mortal Instruments: City of Heavenly Fire is $10.67 for preorder
Dangerous Creatures is coming out but there isn't a price yet.

Mama Ame I love buying new books even though I have a s**t ton of books i haven't read yet. I enjoy getting new books as well. Though in my case, it isn't that I haven't read the books I already have - it's the fact that I've run out of room on my bookshelf for books and now they're starting to take over my window seat. xd

Though I'm buying the series I really enjoy. I need to pick up The Hunger Games one of these days.
