As a huge fan of the Harry Potter series, I was thrilled to find out that there's a huge re-read party going on over at Book Journey. To officially join in, I was asked to choose a house (I used the sorting hat and was chosen to be a part of Gryffindor!) and to decide what year I am at Hogwarts (I'm a seventh year!).
The re-read began yesterday (November 1) and will conclude at the end of March 2015. That's 5 months of Harry Potter! How can you join in the fun? Here's how:
First, you have to choose a house by selecting a meme.
If you would like to use the sorting hat (like I did), here's your chance!
Second, you have to decide what year you are. Here are your choices:
First Years: You have read The Sorcerer's Stone or you have not read any Harry Potter books
Second Years: You have read The Sorcerer's Stone and The Chamber of Secrets
Third Years: You have read the two mentioned above as well as The Prisoner of Azkaban
Fourth Years: You have read the three above as well as The Goblet of Fire
Fifth Years: You have read the four above as well as The Order of the Phoenix
Sixth Years: You have read the five above as well as The Half Blood Prince
Seventh Years: You have read all of the Harry Potter books
Curious about the reading schedule? The "loosely applied" reading of each book will look like this:
Nov 1 - Nov 16: The Sorcerer's Stone
Nov 17 - Dec 6: The Chamber of Secrets
Dec 7 - Dec 29: The Prisoner of Azkaban
Dec 30 - Jan 20: The Goblet of Fire
Jan 21 - Feb 13: The Order of the Phoenix
Feb 14 - Mar 7: The Half-Blood Prince
Mar 8 - Mar 31: The Deathly Hallows
To officially sign up for the re-read, you can visit Book Journey and select the re-read tab. She's got some really fun stuff planned for this event, including giveaways and discussions. You can earn House Points for participating in the events, and will probably meet some really cool, fellow Potter Heads! :)
Happy Re-Read to everyone, and I hope to see you joining us!

Awesome to have you joining in!!!! Have a wonderful first year!
I used the sorting hat and I'm a Hufflepuff. This is my first time through the series, so I'm looking forward to experience it this way.
I've always self identified as a Slytherin, and thankfully every test I've taken agrees with me, lol. I'm a 7th year as well. i hope you enjoy the re-read!
Yay for this reread! I'm totally enjoying the whole process :) I'm a 7th-year, too, Maree :D
Sorry I spelled your name wrong! There's a Maree with us in the reread, too! :)
I'm a Fourth Year Gyffindor, having listened to the first four titles in the series in audio (Jim Dale narrating.) It's definitely going to be more fun experiencing Harry Potter's world with others! I'm reading them in print this time around, getting a lot more out of them in terms of detail and a little bit of foreknowledge; and looking forward to what the Seventh Years have to offer! :-)
