A Few Words Before Our Lesson Begins . . .

Welcome to another Harry Potter blog. May this blog offer a scholarly exploration for all of us to enjoy as we immerse ourselves into Ms. Rowling's exceptionally written series about a boy wizard who enchanted us with his story. 

I am Britt, a Hufflepuff who has just completed her seventh of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and your guide through the deep and often subtle insights within the series. I know. This sounds like the job of a Ravenclaw student, but they are not the only students smart -- otherwise I would not have been given this task by Headmistress McGonagall. It doesn't hurt, however, that the Sorting Hat spent a long time deciding where to place me and I was almost a Ravenclaw. My determination and perseverance ended up winning over my brain power; a decision I am completely okay with. 
     I guess the point I'm trying to make is that you shouldn't judge my blog by my House. 
     After all, McGonagall trusts me, so you should as well.



Before we begin, however, there are a few matters that must be addressed.

First and foremost, this blog will be especially dangerous for those young wizards and witches who have just received their Hogwarts letters as well as those who have yet to finish their seventh year and pass their N.E.W.T.s because of the spoilers. 
     Readers beware.

Second, there will be some topics that might be . . . misunderstood by most professors seeing as they address themes and  questions that can only be answered by venturing into the Restricted section of the library or perhaps even the Forbidden Forest.
     Again, readers beware because once you begin   one of these "restricted" posts, you stand alone in your attempt to find your way out of the words. 

Third, this blog is intended to bring up ideas that will inspire some of your own as well as open up a floor for discussion that everyone can take part of. 
     Harry means so much to all of us and always will, so why not talk about him?

Fourth, and most important, have fun with this . . . whether through reading or commenting.

All that's left to do is tuck-in and begin.
