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 |

Mama Ame 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.
I'm on the fence when it comes to the Harry/Ginny relationship. 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

^ Yes.
To me Harry and Ginny seemed too forced if that makes any sense. Ginny had a crush on him in the earlier books. 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. |

Yeah, I heard about that. Honestly, I liked Ron and Hermione being together. 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. |

Mama Ame Prof. Moonie 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 My uncle gave me a ton of books for my kindle. Though I'm buying the series I really enjoy. I need to pick up The Hunger Games one of these days.
Nice! biggrin The Hunger Games is pretty enjoyable. |

Catching Fire was my favorite. Finnick is my favorite character. |
