Hi:

We are going to try and do something structured re: discussing GoF. It's
long, and IMO, more complex than the other books. So, I think it could
be useful to have a structured discussion going. People should continue
to jump in with other thoughts as they have them (mindful of spoiler
warnings though!). But, it could be good to give some overall structure
to the discussion.

HPanonymous is doing chapter by chapter discussions, and Simon suggested
that maybe we do something a bit different since there is some overlap
between this group & that group. He suggested discussing various
characters and/or themes. I like this idea!

But, I also like the idea of the chapter discussions (since not everyone
is on hpanonymous). So . . . what if we do both?

We could discuss one chapter each week (and let's face it -- there will be
some chapters that won't merit a whole week's worth of discussion). So,
to supplement, we could also add in character discussions. We could also
lump 2 or more chapters together if it makes sense.

I vote that we have a discussion of Chapter 1 and one of the more minor
characters this week. Suggestions as to which character (maybe someone
can come up with a list, starting with the less pivotal ones and ending
up with Harry obviously)?

I promised the summary of Chapter 1 to kick that off, and I will post
that later today (I promise!).
