I am such a fangirl

[rubah]

I've been rereading the harry potter series ( like trebekah !) and I'm so nostalgic, I feel I could burst.

I dunno, I'm having trouble coming up with coherent thoughts that explain what I feel about all this. Something that would encompass reading these book very slowly, very carefully, to catch every last detail, mentally tying in events with how fanfic authors I've read have used those bits for characterization, mentally tying in with fanfics *I've* written, thinking ahead to the later books and drawing lines from hints here to events later in teh book, in later books, years of fanart and foruming, how it felt to read these for the first time, why everyone fell in love with the Maurauders, why were fred and george so distant in the third book (they give him the map, but not much else so far) Where are all the other students in the school, marking out all the inconsistancies JKR missed in editing (Hit Wizards, aren't those like. . Aurors? maybe not, but they could be)

I dunno, it's a lot of things. And I'm dying to finish this series, but starting back to school is a bad time to have to do it. I guess I should finish PoA today.

I always figured Hit Wizards were more like regular police, and Aurors were more like detectives? As in, Hit Wizards go around controlling everyday accidents and problems and stuff, and Aurors are more like the super kinds of detectives that you see on crime shows, who spend their time catching drug cartels, or busting illegal brothels who are importing underage girls from Bosnia. Or, well, the wizarding equivalent of that.

I love re-reading Harry Potter and seeing all the things I've missed, or seeing things in a different light after having read the later books. It's so interesting.
