Using this as a place to deposit my thoughts as I progress in my reread. I've read the series too many times before to even count, but am trying to reread them all this year because it's been far too long, and I'm trying to get back to my roots, and ~what I always loved about Harry Potter.

In the first ~100ish pages:
— I always forget how sassy book!Harry is. The snark is incredible, especially because he's so grumpy already in this one.
— MAN I LOVE MRS. FIGG why did I never appreciate her as a kid. AN ICON.
— I know yadayada Dumbledore always has his reasons for what he plans for Harry and Voldemort's back and he's worried about shit yeah whatever, I have gotten more and more anti-Dumbledore as I've gotten older and I'm pissed off for Harry that he's always so left in the dark "for his own good" I'm sure he does not have to suffer this much for the sake of safety D<
— Grimmauld Place, and hi hello all my Remus/Sirius feelings, I'm sure it's no surprise to anyone that I've always shipped it. Cue me reading into EVERY SINGLE GLANCE. So, sorry JKR, sorry canon, Lupin is gay, I don't make the rules.
— And Tonks is a lesbian. And I wish she'd gotten more to do in the series, I love her also.
