the Harry Potter reading challenge

Six years after I wrote my Master's thesis on the Harry Potter series I decided to re-read the books. And to make it more fun, I'll join the Harry Potter reading challenge on this blog. You're welcome to join us, either by doing the challenge yourself or by adding your thoughts in the comments section to my posts about the Harry Potter books.

The idea is to read one book a month, starting with January 2012. I hope to be able to follow this schedule although after March it'll be harder to find the time to read.

It's been a while since I last immersed myself into the magical world of HP and I'm really looking forward to re-acquainting myself with the compelling characters and stunning wizarding scenery that J. K. Rowling created. I'm curious how this re-reading will affect my views of the series that I wrote about in my thesis.

To kick this off, here are the links to my two essays about the Harry Potter series:

Understanding racism and sexism in Harry Potter

and

Harry Potter book series - trivial or not?
