Hello dear book clubbers!
We had our first ever #RPBookClub chat on Monday this week and it was SO MUCH FUN! It was so cool to see all of your responses to our questions. You all put so much thought into your responses and I can’t thank you enough.
As we promised earlier this month, we’re going to be sharing our favorite replies here!
First, we started things with a poll…

And used hindsight to think about Scabbers the “Rat”…

Thought long and hard about how different it is reading Harry Potter as adults…
