#ReRead2015: November 21 - November 24 
 VERY IMPORTANT THOUGHTS IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER: 
 1. OMG I forgot how much I loved all of the Rita Skeeter parts! I totally get why they were excluded from the film, but they're such a wonderful addition to the book! 
 2. Ron and Harry can be so stupid sometimes, but then I have to remember that they're only 14 in this book and I think I was pretty stupid then too 
 3. Thank goodness for the brilliance of JK Rowling and the simple brilliance of the line that is "Her-my-oh-knee" 
 4. I loved how much more present Sirius was in the book versus the movie! He really is such a wonderful character. 
 5. I also very much appreciated how much more was given to us in this book; Bartemious Crouch, Winky, Mad-Eye, Cornelius Fudge ... there were story arcs every which way and reading them as an adult was such a treat. 
 6. The friendship of Hermione, Ron, and Harry? #squadgoals
