My first time reading the series was in the 5th grade and I only read the first three books. This was my first time actually reading the whole series and discussing the theories of H.P in depth. I have to say that my whole attitude toward the whole series has dramatically changed. Definitely once you start reading the series and invest yourself in them, you start to form some sort of attachment to these characters as if they were real people. There were a lot of unexpected twists and shock that happened and I think I would need to read the series again and more thoroughly to fully enjoy/understand the plot twists and changes. I found it hard to read the entire series in the shortest amount of time possible, I am a student in daap therefore my schedule is always packed with hours upon hours of different projects so I found it hard to read the entire book in the allotted time.
My perceptions of the characters definitely changed throughout the series. Of course Harry is the most popular character but I always like to root for the least likely. Ron became more of a front runner for me because his confidence and individuality started to shine through over Harry. Harry became less and less likable for me because he is so angry and stubborn, although I cannot imagine all he has gone through at such a young age. I think his trials and tribulations definitely justify his anger at times but I also don't appreciate how he would treat Ron and Hermione and all the people who were willingly to risk their life to help Harry. At times it seems he took their help for granite and almost preferred to stand alone.
