    Half-Blood Prince has always been my favorite. I’ve read the series several times, but there is something so special about #6. “I’m not worried, Harry. I am with you.” gets me EVERY time.

    • @iangubeli

    Jim Dale brings SO MUCH emotion and passion to the audiobooks. The last time I did my reread, I did via audiobooks and he just took it to another level. Also, RIP Sir Michael Gambon, our second beloved Dumbledore. Azkaban will always be my top choice. Being an animal lover, animagus was amazing to me. And then we have the Maurauder’s Map. Idk, those two blew me away. I love the rest all equally 😂 I can’t and won’t tier rank the rest.

    • @iangubeli
      @iangubeli  Před 10 měsíci +1

      The third novel is great!! I do love the aspect of the map and how it was created and who it was created by!! Love the world building in that book. And yes, Jim Dale absolutely crushes that performance!!

    I was introduced to Harry Potter by my 5th grade teacher who read the books to us. Then I revisited them during my high school years and multiple times as an adult. I get something different out of them during these phases of my life. I love seeing people’s first reactions reading Harry Potter. (Maybe it’s because people feel the pressure since it’s loved worldwide) Glad that you enjoyed it!

    I felt the exact same way about Goblet of Fire! It took me the longest of all of them to read because I just didn't care enough about the tournament. Then you watch the movie and its like, "why didn't I care again cause I'm into it now." lol

    My favorite of the series is Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban because it gives us another character for Harry to know more about his parents and another of Harry's father's best friends from school. I've read the series several times since I started reading this series when I was thirteen. It is such a fun series to get into every time. I went to the Harry Potter World at the Universal Park with my daughter and it was such a great experience to see it come to life.

    I have been thinking of reading the Harry Potter series ‼️💯💀 You and now I have to watch Ashlynn’s Harry Potter vlog have convinced me to read the Harry Potter books but I need to buy them so I guess I am going to barnes and noble ‼️Awesome vlog ‼️ps I finished Red Rising and WOW I loved it ‼️ thank you for 😊your videos on them! I can’t wait to read Morning Son.
    Fun fact: Did you know that Harry Potter book 2 & 6 were one giant book but they were split up into 2 books.
    How are you just flying through Harry Potter ? I am still on book 1 chapter 1. What is your Hogwarts house ?

      Thank you so much!! I had no idea the second and sixth books were supposed to be one novel. Yet, now that you say it, it makes sense.
      I only was able to fly through these book because of my work. I drive for most of my day, so I can listen to audiobooks pretty much none stop as I go!!

    I've tried to read the first Harry Potter book twice, and both times I DNFed it just a couple chapters in. Something about the writing style of the first book makes me picture the characters as cartoons in my head. It was just too weird of an experience for me and couldn't do it. Love the movies though.

    Ok, seriously, it took me a few years after all the books and movies,the hype for me to think about picking up Harry Potter. I remember being asked by a good friend who loves to read as well, Did you read Harry Potter? Have you?? Will you?? I cave in said ok yes I'll give it a shot, since i didn't had the books, next morning I arrive to work and there is this tote bag sitting with gorgeous hardcover Harry Potter complete set,and I got sucked into the magical world of Harry and Lord Voldermont!! After I finished, I actually had a hungover. 😂 I didn't read any books for little while cause I kept thinking about the whole adventure!! It was a good time. ❤ Enjoy 😊

    My favorite book is The Prisoner of Azkaban (# 3) because it’s when Harry is still innocent. The Goblet of Fire ( # 4) at the end Harry experiences something horrible and I feel like his innocence is lost because of that. Also at #4 I also feel that Harry Potter is no longer for young readers.

      Being filled with the Spirit and having discernment from the Word, I feel fine. HP is a story. The author didn’t write those books as a n act of defiance against God, and she herself is not a witch. There are some dark themes, sure, but knowing that it’s fiction helps to remind me that it’s harmless. None of the things discussed throughout the books can be duplicated are sought out in the real world.
