I'll add everybody to the club list tomorrow. :) Got some preparing for the Ball to do tonight! Mwahahaha...
Okay guys, time to put it to a vote! I'm hoping we can pick something by Friday so we have some time to read and discuss before term ends.
Here's our choices:
- Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone
- Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
- Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
- Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
- Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
- Harry Potter and the Halfblood Prince
- Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
- The Tales of Beedle the Bard
- Quidditch Through the Ages
- Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them
- The Tales of Beedle the Bard, Quidditch Through the Ages AND Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them
- The Lottery by Shirley Jackson
I am going to say start at the beginning with Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone

I'm also going to put my vote in for the first book, I think. :) I think it's short enough that we can finish it in time.
Probably good to start with the first one
if you know where i can credit to them now, please let me know

Book one is a great place to start! It's always been one of my favorites.
I vote for the first book as well! Plus the illustrated edition comes out tomorrow, so perfect timing for those planning to buy it. :)

I'm fine with the first one although I did jsut re-read it. I'm on the 4th book now as I've just re-read 1-3.

The first book sounds good! I need an excuse to listen to Jim Dale.
I wasn't aware of that edition. From the few released photos, it looks wonderful! Thanks for sharing that.

I would like to start with the first book as well :)
I guess I'll vote for the first book since it looks like it's gonna win anyway xD
You're welcome! It really does look so pretty! I have to wait til this weekend to have the extra cash, but I'm definitely going to pick it up. Especially since we are going to reread the book! I hope they plan on releasing all 8 as illustrated editions! :o

I hope so too! I'm fairly certain Rowling mentioned she would release all of the books.
I probably should have waited but after seeing some of the new uploaded photos today, I just ordered mine. I'll have to wait a while to see it, as it's on back-order. xD Definitely let me know what you think when you get yours.

Yes! There is an article on Pottermore about it actually and the artist said that he is going to be doing all seven books.
I picked it up last night at Target. I couldn't wait! It is BEAUTIFUL. Like...above and beyond my expectations. I'm so excited to see what all the other books look like, and especially how they look as the characters grow up. The artist has such a unique idea of the world and characters and its just amazing. I loooove it.

Okay guys! It seems that we have a majority of votes for Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, so that's where we're going to start! Feel free to start discussing.
It's not necessary to put anything behind spoilers since I'm sure most of us are re-reading the book rather than reading it for the first time. Please mention in your post what chapter your observations/questions/etc are from though! Or alternatively, let us know how far you are in the book so that we can keep track.
Happy reading!
