Harry Potter Literary Circle

So, yesterday, my friend Lynne told me about this really cool club. It's called the Harry Potter Literary Circle. As you may know, I love the Harry Potter books. I think that J.K. Rowling is a frickin' genius. Not only is she creative enough to come up with a world that I would totally want to live in (the magical community), but she encouraged tons of children to read and read and read (those books are really long for a children's series). It's hard not to fall in love with the characters she's created. Plus, the twists and turns Harry's life takes are always interesting and surprising, making this series of books easily accessible for children and adults alike.

What would make joining this club so great? The fact that what I do the most of the time when I'm hanging out with my friends is talk about things that we like (such as movies, tv shows, and books!). This is just a formal way of doing it. Not to mention the fact that I will meet more people, and get to hang with my friends that are joining. It would be almost as much fun as joining a Lord of the Rings club (for the movies) or a Buffy the Vampire Slayer club (for the tv shows). I can hardly wait until the next book comes out. July 16 (I'll have to check that date) is going to be a night when I probably don't sleep. When the last book came out my friends and family all got together and had a little midnight reading party. It was fun, except for the fact that I am a slow reader, and everyone else was flying past me.

On a sidenote, it's amazing for how much I read how slow I am at reading. My mother reads about twice as fast as me, and no matter how much I read, I can't seem to get any faster! It's very frustrating, especially when you have to do a lot of studying in college.

Anyway, we'll probably have some sort of midnight reading party again in July, but maybe this time it will be super organized with food and music and cool little party favors if I join the club. Ahh, the possibilities seem endless!
