Okay, so I know there are seven total Harry Potter books, but I am plunging my way through the fourth book and am hoping to soon be hitting number five. When I moved here to Chicago last August, I began the series. What was I thinking?? Some advice ~ Harry Potter series and graduate school are like oil and water. Or is it? Ok. So, it is really tough to get through the books and school work because I find myself wanting to read them over my other homework, (and just a note... book 4 is like 800 pages), but I am starting to find aspects of the series to coincide with my current life. A little obsessed one might think and you would think correctly. J.K. Rowling however, has sucked me so eloquently into her world of wizards and witches. Sending me on adventures, standing up for justice, and waving my wand... I kid.
I think I've taken one giant leap towards the side of good or rather nerd.

Harry Potter AND grad school? I hope you cite J.K. Rowling in your thesis. ;-)
ReplyDeleteEveryone needs a release from grad school, and harry potter sounds as good as any. i got pretty into the books too, and the nice things about them was always that i didn't have to reread the pages three or four times to understand what was written (a common grad school occurrence) :)
ReplyDeletei LOVE harry potter. i really really wish i could disapparate and clean my house with a swoosh of a wand. i read book 4 (or maybe it was 5) when i was studying abroad. it literally came out the night before we left for france, so like half the people in the program had a copy, purchased at midnight, and we couldn't do much homework until we all finished. and when we did, we shared our books with the other ppl. it was totally worth dragging that brick around europe. ;)
