H: Hogwarts!
Welcome to the "H" day of the A-Z Blogging challenge! If you need a recap on my theme, "Places I Want To Visit: Real or Fictional" you can read more about it here. Today's place is a fictional place called:
Hogwarts!

How could I use this theme for the challenge and NOT use Hogwarts for H?! I read the Harry Potter series for the first time last year. I was one of those people who thought the series was overrated , and boy, was I WRONG. I absolutely fell in love with the series and everything Harry Potter. It's such a well written, fantastic series. Of course I'd love to visit Hogwarts! Hermione is my favorite HP character, and if I could spend the day hanging out with her, that would be awesome!
Now the important question: what house would I be sorted into? Only the Sorting Hat could tell me for sure, but I like to think of myself as a Ravenclaw--they value intelligence, creativity, learning and wit. Though I'm afraid of heights, I'd still love to take flying lessons on one of those fancy broomsticks :)
What would you want to experience at Hogwarts? Or do you have another "H" location you'd like to visit?
Hogwarts!!! Naturally :) What I wouldn't give for a letter...sigh...
ReplyDeleteI was so happy to see the excitement over this series. It got a lot of kids reading ....and adults too (my husband was one of them). I didn't warm up at first and only read the first book. Too busy at time I guess, but now I plan to read through to the end. I did enjoy the movies though. That sorting hat was pretty cool!

The series is totally worth reading!! I highly recommend it!
DeleteA trip to Hogwarts would be fun but I really wouldn't know what the Sorting Hat would pick for me. Have fun 'travelling' on the Challenge!
ReplyDeleteThank you for reading!
DeleteI remember flying through these books when I was around 11 or so...I couldn't get enough. I remember hurrying to the store the day of release to pick up The Order of the Phoenix and reading as fast as I could. Rowling really did a great job with the series (though I must confess I never actually read the last book).
ReplyDeleteReally, though, Sharon is right! When I was in 3rd grade or so, I was really into The Hardy Boys mystery serious, as well as Louis Sachar and Beverly Cleary novels. A lot of kids didn't enjoy reading at all, but Harry Potter came along and they devoured those books. Rowling played a massive, MASSIVE role in establishing the modern market for YA lit, if I may say so.
You have to join in the fun and take some of the sorting hat quizzes. Some are predictable, but some go off of personality types. I remember taking heaps of them as a kid.
A number of quizzes are online, but I think Pottermore is owned by Rowling herself.
