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…

It looks like most of you are in Ravenclaw! I’d believe it. 

Our first question asked about your favorite sarcastic lines…

And then we got into some harder topics – like if the Dursleys really were the best guardians for Harry…

This question also resulted in Samantha rec’ing her favorite Harry Potter fanficiton.

Then we got into where the Sorcerer’s Stone movie failed us as fans…

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

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

But also considered that Hogwarts… might actually not be a great place to learn…
