Hi,

I'm new to the list and Harry Potter.

My husband and daughter read the books, and dragged me to
the movie a few weeks ago, even though I wasn't in the least
interested.

Well, it worked and I am now <g>.

I've read the first 3 books, and will get the 4rth one from
the library tonight, but I'll definitely read them again
several times.

On the first read I tend to go through way too fast, missing
vital little things, and after going through many of the
older posts on this list, I've already come across a lot of
things I need to re-check.

I enjoy reading all the insights and discussions concerning
the plot and characters.

Just a question:
did anyone else feel sorry for Scabbers (before the
discovery at the end) and Ron during Book 3?
It seemed as if he had hardly any support from his friends
even though Crookshanks (sp?) was obviously after Scabbers.

It's probably a bit silly, but as someone who has had many
pets (rodents included) I could emphasize with Ron, and also
the girl who's rabbit died unexpectedly.

Even though Hermione was right about the prediction having
nothing much to do with the death of her pet, it didn't seem
very kind to ask all these questions at that point.

Please excuse any spelling/grammar mistakes.
I'm from Germany, living in the US, now.
