The WTF Moments

The WTF Moment

            As I have been rereading the Harry Potter series I still find myself saying WTF is going on, it has been so long since I have read the books that I am still finding myself getting surprised by even the subtle differences in the book and movies. Rowling does a great job at keeping these WTF moments throughout the entire series, which is necessary to keep readers interested through out seven long books.
            When I first read the first two books I was around 12 years old, and I had this one kid in my class that was extremely wealthy and was equally awful. While reading the books I defiantly identified my hatred for (insert explicit here) with Harry and Ron’s hatred for Draco. This kid in my class was weirdly similar to Draco not in looks but, in personality.
            I am one of those mystery novel readers that never see the twists and turns before they are coming, even if they are bluntly obvious. With speaking to other friends on their experiences reading the Harry Potter series I am one of the few that could not see Professor Quirrell as the actual person after the Philosopher’s Stone. I believed wholeheartedly Professor Snape was the true villain of the first novel
            After reading a few of peoples blog posts I thought it was interesting to see how everyone’s previous and current experiences are affecting their own Harry Potter experiences. Each person will have their own WTF moments through out the series and I can not wait to continue finding mine through out the semester.
