Rereading the Harry Potter books (*open spoilers*)


I have been reading the Harry Potter books to my children as part of their Language Arts time. It is an entirely different experience this time around knowing the ending. I find myself getting choked up at the oddest times thinking about what Snape is doing and his motivations and all.

Is anyone else rereading them yet (or have you all had enough of Harry for awhile?)

My oldest daughter is reading them all now... She's only on the second book, and has listened to all of them, except I think Book 5... but now she's reading them. She bought and read Book 7 over the summer... so she knows the ending too... :)

I did finally read and finish Book 7 a couple weeks ago. I'm not happy with Dobby's demise, not happy at all...

I just find myself being really sympathetic/emathetic towards Snape and really thinking of what all this must have been like for him. It's like reading a different set of books this time, my reaction is so different.

I always said Snape was one of the good guys. My wife doesn't believe me and hasn't read book 7 yet so I can say "I told you so".
