Potter Update

After one week of Potter Boot Camp:*
Book 2, page 254. Only 2769 pages to go!

I'm really enjoying the Chamber of Secrets. Previously, I would have told you that this is my least favorite of the series, however, now re-reading this book with all of the background information from books 3 - 6, I am finding many interesting clues and insights that I overlooked on the first reading. To be able to plant subtle, critical details in a second novel that would come in to play again three novels later is clever. To be able to do it in such a way that the second book just flows smoothly, without making the reader feel that the content is forced, is amazing!

Let me state again: Rowling is such a genius!

*5 house points awarded to Amy, who has cleverly named my project a "Masters in Potterology."
