Read (or Reread) Harry Potter discussion

I love spell out challenges and I love Harry Potter so why not combine them and make a challenge out of it! Pick any Harry Potter related name/word and spell it out using the first letter of a book you read, the author, or first letter of the main character's name. Spell out as many words/names as you want in whatever time frame you want!

i.e. I choose the name Hermione.

H → Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
E → East of Eden
R → Ron Weasley -Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
M →
I →
O →
N → Neil Gaiman - American Gods

PS. A bit dark, but nevermind :D
Edit: I just added one more word, because I didn't have a D or an M. Still sticking to my dark theme lol
Edit: Just added horcrux as well, 'cause it's a cool word. I now have more letters than are the books in my GR challenge, but nvm.

I can only imagine how hard it would be to do one for ASoIaF. I would want to pick ALL the words! lol

Well, the one I am doing consits of two parts. You choose a house and you have to spell out their motto (the Winter is Coming and We do not Sow sort of thing), then there are three statements and you have to read a book to which these statements apply. It could be about the colour of the cover or something about the main character's background or something like that. There was one where a character from the book should have a weird pet. I chose "Under the Yoke" for that one, because Doctor Sokolov had a bear called Cleopatra for a pet. But yeah, I found it on goodreads but wrote it down on some cardboard, it looks kind of nice. And huge. 'Cause I had to do all the houses, of course... Well, not all, but I'm doing all the main ones - Targaryen, Greyjoy, Stark, Arryn, Tully, Lannister, Baratheon, Tyrell and Martell. I'll throw a feast when I'm finished with it lol

That sounds super interesting! I may have to do something similar... I like the different levels and ways for books to apply to that challenge.

Brianna wrote: "That sounds super interesting! I may have to do something similar... I like the different levels and ways for books to apply to that challenge."

Yes, it really is interesting, though it takes commitment to pull it off. Btw, I have to ask - when we're spelling out do articles count? I mean, would A Storm of Swords, for example, count for an A or an S?

I personally don't count them, however you can if you want to.

Brianna wrote: "I personally don't count them, however you can if you want to."

Okay, thanks. I won't count them either. I guess that way it would be easier to fill more letters, since lots of titles start with "the".

That would definitely make it a lot harder! lol

Hahaha, yeah, I'm starting to regret my choice of words as well. It's gotten to the point where I have to look at this challenge before deciding what to read next lol See if the book somehow fits in.

Finally came across an I so was able to finish another word! Now to find like 5 more I's.... lol

Congradulations! It took me so long to decide whether I should put The Hunger Games under H or S, because I have only one S and lots of books I can use for it and two Hs, but I also have two Harry Potter books left (3 if we count HP and the Cursed Child) and I might want to read those by the end of the year as well... This is getting difficult.

Congradulations! I've decided to leave one letter from each word and finish them all off one by one :D just to add some drama

That's kind of what I did - but unintentionally. lol

Brianna wrote: "That's kind of what I did - but unintentionally. lol"
Yeah, it just sort of happened on its own, and then when I realised what was going on, I figured I'd just go along with it :D
