A little bonus fun through our 5 month event! Look at the House Points tab and see how you can earn points for the ultimate Potter Prize package (TBA) at the end of the Re-Read in March 2015. Earning House Points is easy and at the same time cheers on your fellow participants. Look back often at the Harry Potter Re-Read Tab (under the Book Journey header) for new posts and giveaways that can add to your House Points! Participation and comments on the linked posts will earn you points as well. Expect at some point some sort of Quiditch game to earn points as well….. just saying.. 🙂
After each book is rad the points will be reset to zero.
House Points are strictly optional in this readalong – just like in the books, some students earn House Points and some do not.
And… in case you stumbled across this page without knowing where you can sign up and what this is all about – the Looking For Potter Heads post is here!
Have fun!

Well, I signed up here as Hufflepuff because that’s the house I was put in when I signed up for Pottermore. Gryffindor will always be my favorite house though (and just for the fun of it, I went to BuzzFeed and THERE I got into Gryffindor lol)
I used my Myers-Briggs personality type when considering my house. I’m certainly a Hufflepuff, though I could also be sorted into Ravenclaw quite easily.
LOL… I like the Myers-Briggs being used to pick you for a Hogwarts house 🙂
I got a kick out of that, too 🙂
I wish my friend, Debs, would sign up (I think she’s too busy : / ) ’cause then there’d be at least one Slytherin!
We now have three Slytherin! 😀
How fun!!! I am so excited for this rereadalong
Me too!
I’ll have you know I’ve posted on EVERY SINGLE Start Up post 😀 😀 😀
I seen you out there… I went around too! What fun posts!
I went around to all the Gryffindor House blogs (getting ot know some of my classmates!) and posted to those that had start-up posts. It looks like I’m the only non-Seventh Year Gryffindor! I’m looking forward to seeing what the more experienced Potterheads have to offer 🙂
Nice! There is another beginner too- Jennifer, I think she is in Ravenclaw. So fun to see the books through you!
I’m a beginner in Gryffindor as well but don’t have a blog (yet anyway) to leave a comment on. Have to admit I am struggling with the book a bit but that’s a discussion for another day.
Diane I am sorry to hear you are struggling – have you seen the first movie? Maybe that will help you with it… I know I needed the movie for me to get quidditch 🙂
Haven’t seen the movie either but thanks for the suggestion. Think I will definitely do that when I’ve finished reading.
Go Go Gryffindor!!
YEAH!!!!
OK, I just now finally checked in here ’cause I was hoping I could see if there was an indication of who are first-time readers, then I remembered the house points. Sheila, no WONder you commented on how many I had! Wow! OK, I’m thinking that’s indicative of my social media problem. I can’t keep from participating and commenting! It’s a sickness, I tell you. Either that or I’m under the Imperious Curse, I tell you! lol
Let me think on the first timers… I should know this – Jennifer for Literate House Wife is one. NO worries on the house points, you had great discussions on the posts and I love your participation!
I think @lithousewife is the only First Year participating. AFter that, I think I’m the next newsest toi the franchise as a Fourth Year. I’m pretty sure everyone else in the world has read (and re-read) them all by now! 😀
I was reading one of the Chamber Of Secret posts earlier and there was someone who mentioned that after the third book they would all be new…. now can not recall who it was 🙂
I’m a first timer too – no blog though. About 2/3rds of the way through Chamber of Secrets. Still can’t get terribly excited over it – sorry. But I will persevere!
That’s right Diane I recall that you are a first timer! The books do become more engaging as they go on.
That is why I keep going. My kids said they get better. Right now I find I can put the book down and not pick it up for a day or two. It’s not like I have to get right back to it to see what happens next. Keep hoping though.
Yeah, I know Jennifer is one, and Diane is one, but I believe there are at least one or two more!
Hmmmm…I do know there are a few of you who only read a few of the books. I just want to actually list that to keep track, but don’t have time to try to find where these things were stated in comments or posts.
Is Jackie one of them?
Ah, nope! For a second I was thinking “yes,” but alas—no!
No. I’d read all of the books in June of this year when I marathoned Harry Potter for the first time .
I think that’s Stacy from Reading in the Mountains 🙂
Oh, Diane, DO persevere! Azkaban gets incredibly good and the series just keeps getting better and deeper as you go! 😀
Diane, it WILL happen! lol This is my 4th time reading and the last chapters of Azkaban have me wanting to keep reading AGAIN! lol
Thanks for all the encouragement.
It’s ’cause we KNOW what’s coming and we DON’T want you to miss it! 😀
Wow Jackie! That is a marathon! Harry Potter is competing with all the Christmas movies I have recorded right now so it’s taking some time to get through The Chamber of Secrets.
Okay! So I have just finished Book 2 and guess what! Think I’m actually starting to get into it. Won’t be able to start Prisoner of Azkaban until after Christmas but I’m looking forward to it.
Oh, Diane, what a great way to ring in the New Year. In Azkaban things really start to kick up in spine-tingling ways! 🙂
YAY!!! SO glad Diane! I just started book 3 last night and think I fell into it better than ever before 🙂 I think this would be the second time I have read book three… the only other time would have been the original read when it came out – and once on audio. 😀
Just getting started on The Prizoner of Azkaban..better late than never. Seems like a good way to spend a Saturday afternoon by the fire.
Perfect Diane! It is a good one! Enjoy!
Oh, yes, Diane 😀 I love Azkaban! Especially those few chapters toward the end that’s so action-packed and where SO much is revealed 😀
saw this and HAD to post it 🙂 http://www.buzzfeed.com/caseyrackham/hufflepuffs-its-our-time#.dx39bARpm
