In preparations for the final installment of the Harry Potter series, I have decided to review all six of Rowling's previous novels to get "in shape" for the big finale. Her novels tend to be so cleverly crafted, with subtle details dropped in places that go unnoticed until a later reference causes the reader to understand them. For this reason, and many other strengths to her writing, I do believe she is an absolute genius. I don't want to miss a thing when I devour Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
I am pouring through each of her books once again, reading along while listening to Jim Dale on the audio versions. I've got a stack of sticky notes and a pen on my lap, and I'm using them freely to record significant findings. Oh yeah, I'm serious about it.
I am currently on page 131 of Book 1. I've got 3201 more pages to complete the series, and I've got 154 more days in which to do it.
