No one will ever replace Frodo in my heart
I'm enjoying reading Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix very much.
I'm about 300 pages in and am really enjoying all the Harry angst, the nightmares and the missing Cedric and all that. (Cedric!) I'm pretty grossed out and fascinated by this punishment that Umbridge is giving him in detention. As a Snarry fan I wish we could read more about Snape, but I have been enjoying those few scenes he's in. And maybe I'm silly and she's not that interesting a character or whatever, but I think the little scenes between Harry and Cho are adorable. I love all this badness going on at the Ministry of Magic which makes the whole world seem scarier.
It's also fun reading this one without having seen the movie (the only other one where I did that was PoA) so I don't know what's going to happen and there's a little more suspense.
I'm glad I've looked around in that fandom just a little now so that I can appreciate that, yeah, there are things about the books that even devoted fans find annoying, and that makes it easier to take those in stride rather than fixate on them.
Mmmm, I just read the part where Hermione and Ron suggest that Harry teach them defense against the dark arts, and I was so touched, just loved seeing how much his friends admire him without him realizing it (which of course reminds me a little of Frodo).
What books are you ladies reading these days?
