I’ve decided it’s time to do something I’ve been waiting years to do – immerse myself in the Potter world completely! Every time a new book was about to come out, I’d re-read the previous volume, just to ‘get on track’. But, since I view this as one complete work, I always knew that SOMEDAY I’d ‘begin at the very beginning’ and go all the way through. And that someday is today!
I’m also going to augment with two other things. I’m going to begin with her address to the Harvard graduates this year, which she titled “The Fringe Benefits of Failure.” – just to get myself a little bit in her head-space.
The other thing is the bit I’ve been able to find of “The Tales of Beedle the Bard” (which are mostly summaries of some of the fairy tales). I’ll read through that when I get to that part in “Deathly Hallows”.
SO, off I go into the fantastical world of Ms. Rowling’s creation – I’m very excited to take this little ‘trip’!
