Potioncat:
It would be so much fun to take another look at the books having the 
20/20 vision of hindsight. (not to be confused with deer or elk)

But you're right at a chapter a week, it will take years...even more 
than years! Yet, I can't imagine we'd need the same 10-12 questions 
per chapter that we did the first time around, or the same summary 
depth. I like both Geoff's and Carol's comments about bringing 
something new from the books.

Just looking at SS/PS, there are 17 chapters. If we divided it into 4 
sections and discussed each section over 2 weeks, that would take 2 
months. I'm not sure how much longer the other books are, or how well 
they break. At around 2 months per book, we're still talking over a 
year to do this. Hey, wait, did I say over a year. Maybe that should 
be only a year. I don't know. Do we want to linger or rush?

But I'm not just thinking of time. If the books are sort of broken 
into segments, where several chapters go together along a theme or 
action, it might make the discussion flow better.


The first 5 chapters of SS/PS cover the pre-Hogwarts period for 
Harry. Would any one poster want to tackle that much material in one 
go, or would it be better to do 2 chapters every week? With an odd, 
or extra chapter somewhere along the line. I don't think I'd mind 
working up several chapters in SS/PS.  We'd want enough lead time to 
give volunteers time to read and summarize. 


Thank you List Elves, for organizing another go!
