My Harry Potter Obsession is Back!

Hope you all had a wonderful holiday and a great vacation. Here is a picture from one of my favorite moments during my vacation. A few members of my family agreed to go along with me to see the Harry Potter exhibit at the Science Museum. My nephew and I are standing in the Science Museum lobby in front of one of my favorite props from Harry Potter- the chess piece Ron fell from when he sacrificed himself for Harry !

If you are a true Harry fan (having read all the books) or if you've seen and loved the movies then you will definitely enjoy this exhibit. It took us about an hour to go through the whole exhibit hall and see everything we could. I don't really want to spoil the fun and tell you all that they have; half the fun was guessing what would be there. But let me give you a few clues about some of our favorite items: screaming plants, horrible choice of clothing for a formal dance, the title of the first book, and rules, rules and more rules.
After spending an hour in Harry's world, I am heading back into his books. So I am taking the challenge of reading the Harry Potter series again before the release of movie #7 in November 2010. Wish me luck or better yet join me in the challenge! If you think it's too wimpy of a challenge (it is almost a year away) then call me out on it- I'll read quicker if you do... Any thoughts?

  1. I think you should challenge John Frazer to this, I'll tell him tommorow. Last year I saw him with a different Harry Potter book pretty much every two days.

  2. Thanks, Matt, hope you had a good Christmas and vacation. I think John did read them all last year and he would definitely beat me in this challenge.

  3. Ms. Guiney,

    This is going to be wayyyy to easy for me! I read the three eragon books that have been released and all of the Ranger's apprentice in 5 days! SO I challenge you to beat me in this reading competition!

  4. Uhoh! Now I am definitely scared... I haven't even started yet. But you've got me running scared, I am going to get my books together this weekend and start! Good luck, Jeffrey! Say hi back to Caroline and Tim for me.
