Reading Harry Potter for the 15th time

So I said I have a love for Harry Potter...I think you might not understand how extreme it is. I am now reading the series for the 15th time since I was 7. Yeah, this is a bit extreme. But every time I read it, I love it more! I understand the power of the story more, pick up more details, as emotions I didn't see or understand as a 7 year old. And it is always interesting as each year goes by to see how the 15 year old Harry correlates to the 15 year old me. Mainly, I find that I really am Hermione. I mean, how did JK know back in '96 that a year later a girl just like hermione would be born? And also, my newfound love for Draco Malfoy also flourishes with each reread;) Also, I recently found an interview with JK saying that each book is an allegory for different stories in the Bible. How much better can it get?? Obviously the 7th has the most palpable (8th grade vocab!) correlation...But overall I love the whole message and meaning of HP (which books like hunger games (TEAM GALE!) and twilight etc. lack) of love conquers all. It just makes me happy inside! Well, that'll be my rant for the day, I'll leave you with some thing to think about:

Quote of the day- 'just because you have the emotional range of a teaspoon doesn't mean everyone else does!'- Hermione Granger (HP OOTP)
