OK, I just wanted to make a quick post saying that I am currently on chapter 30 of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (The Pensieve) and oh my gosh, this is seriously the best book I own. I freaking love this book. If I could marry it then I would. The mystery of this book is just amazing. I love this chapter because we, along with Harry get a first hand look at Barty Crouch and his son. It's really amazing. I just love this book so much. There is mystery and intrigue with every page (even if you've read it 10+ times). I think it's my favourite of the series because it is the turning point. This is where stuff gets dark. You start to see and recognise signs of Voldemort's return, you start learning about what it was like the last time he was at large. You start getting scared because, if it's the first time you've read it, you're like 'holy hell, what is going to happen' and you are not aware of the fact that you are in for the most amazing climax of your life, and if you've read it before then you are counting down the chapters until the climax and in the meantime noticing some of the little things you've missed. I honestly don't understand how GOF is Jo's least favourite of the series. It's my absolute favourite. It's amazing. If I had written something that good I would wonder why there wasn't a statue erected in honour of my great achievement. It's really just amazing.
Finished with Chapter 30.
I always forget about the stuff with Bagman. I always know that he was involved with something shady, but I never remember exactly what it is. Hopefully I'll be able to remember this time that it was only a misunderstanding. The whole thing with Crouch and his son is so deep. It's hard to grasp, really, the drama and horror of it all. I really love Dumbledore. He is such a great character.
That's all for now. I think I'll probably leave another post about this when I finish the book which will probably be in a few hours.
So, I just wanted to say that I basically just read all your blogs in one sitting and many thoughts came into my mind. One, you are an excellent writer--I felt like I was reading a book. Seriously. Two, I learned a lot about you and realized that you and I are very much alike in such different ways... And three, you were right about one thing. You and I need to travel together (see reason number two...) : )
