HP Challenge - Day 30: Looking Forward

30: Five parts of the Deathly Hallows movies (1&2) that you’re looking forward to the most?

Since the Deathly Hallows movies are already out and you can hardly look forward to anything, I will just answer this question for the "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" movie(s), alright?

I am looking forward to...

the Beasts and how they are portrayed on film

the plot

the little Easter Egg hints to the original Harry Potter

the actors (I don't have any in particular, but if they are as good as the Potter actors, they are worth looking forward to.)

(That was it! 30 days of Harry Potter, I hope you enjoyed it. You can find all the answers tagged as "tob hp challenge")

30 Day Book and Literature Challenge - Day 30

Day 30: The book you’re reading right now

"the book"? How about "one of the books?"... Okay, here we go: 

Caryl Phillips "Cambridge" Daniel Defoe "Robinson Crusoe"  Aphra Behn "Oroonoko" Selden Edwards "The Little Book" Herman Melville "Moby Dick" (still, but I am getting closer to the end) Charles Dickens "A Tale of Two Cities" and "Oliver Twist" Andrew Solomon "Far from the Tree" Cecelia Ahern "Hundred Names"

--------

And... I am done! This challenge has been great fun. I got to talk about the things I love most, many of the posts were thought-provoking, some were really hard to answer, but all of them were interesting. Thanks for sticking it out with me, I hope I didn't bore you to much! 

On that note: Thank you, all the new followers I have gained!

30 Day Book and Literature Challenge - Day 29

Day 29: An author you wish was more well-known

James A. Michener. 

I don't actually know how well-know he is, but I have never met anyone (my age) who said: "Oh hey, I am a fan of Michener!" And I don't understand that... Michener is great, he writes big, epic novels and although the could double as bricks, they are actually really easy to read through.

30 Day Book and Literature Challenge - Day 28

We are down to the last three - YAY! 

Day 28: The first book you can remember reading on your own.

And I have no clue... I started reading very early in my life and I read a lot of books. I would say "Harry Potter" to make myself sentimental, but I know this is not true... I honestly have no idea.

30 Day Book and Literature Challenge - Day 26

Day 26: Your favorite type of non-fiction book

Biographies. If they are written well and show connections between life and literary work of the author, biographies can be very helpful and interesting.

30 Day Book and Literature Challenge - Day 25

Day 25: The nerdiest book you’ve ever read

(Define "nerdy", please! Anyone?)

I mean, I have read "Harry Potter" multiple times and find great joy in remembering small details. I have read "The Lord of the Rings" and the first "Percy Jackson" book, I have read the "Bartimaeus" series by Jonathan Stroud and "His Dark Materials" by Philip Pulman... Are any of those nerdy?

30 Day Book and Literature Challenge - Day 24

 Day 24: Your favorite series

"Harry Potter" by J.K. Rowling. 

Seriously, was there any other option? ;)

30 Day Book and Literature Challenge - Day 23

Day 23: A book you once hated, but now like. What changed?

I don't know (again). I seldom give books a second chance, so... If I "hated" a book, that feeling is strong enough to never make me pick it up again...
