So, I'm reading Order of the Phoenix now, and Prof. Binns calls Harry "Perkins" when Harry disturbs his lecture in order to be able to take Hedwig to Prof. Grubbly-Plank (such a great name!).

Welcome to canon_reread -- the pre-DH do-it-at-your-own-pace reread. Our goal is to re-experience canon from start to finish before the release of the seventh and final Harry Potter book.

Here's how it works:

Whenever you decide you have the time, pick up your copy of Philosopher's Stone, turn to page one, and start reading. You may stop at the end of the ( Read more... )
