    Chapter 12
    - Dang, the boys are icing out Hermione over the broom. She was just looking out for you!!
    - Lupin knew Harry's dad and Black but is being really strange about it... Something is up.
    - Harry got his broom back! Niiiiiice.
    - Oh boy Ron thinks Crookshanks shanked Scabbers. Just when Hermione got off the hook for the broom.

    Chapter 13
    - Cho making Harry soft, lol
    - Dementor spell worked and Harry go the snitch. Good shit Harry.
    - oh shit, it was Malfoy being a douche. Got blasted AND lost points for Slytherin. lol serves him right.
    - Hermione needs to give up all this studying. Ron needs to chill on Hermione. I need our 3 bffs to be bffs again. :crossedarms:
    - Ugh Neville you dummy. Black has the password!?!?!?!

    What is Black up to. If he's really there to murk Harry, why not just take him out instead of slashing curtains? Just toying with them or creating a diversion for someone/thing else???

    Was able to knock out a few during lunch. Need to finish this book before Thursday, which shouldn't be a problem.

    Chapter 14
    - Damn Hermione is still getting iced out
    - Fuck Malfoy knows about the cloak.
    - LMAO @ the map tellin Snape to get bent.
    - Hagrid lost his case. Poor Buckbeack

    Chapter 15
    - And we're back together to help Hagrid. Love it
    - Hermione being so pissy about Trelawney's class is so funny.
    - Gettin chippy on the quidditch pitch
    - GET UP Gryffindore! EAT SHIT Slytherin!

    Chapter 16
    - Trelawney getting possessed or something saying the Dark Lord's Servant will rise.... :ohdear:
    - Hagrid lost the appeal too : /
    - Scabbers is alive???? And apparently some creepy ass Pet Cemetery version .
    - R.I.P. Beaky :tebow:

    Bucha demanding fuckers. Ive been typing out my reactions as I read. I thought that was pretty obvious as Ive said something, then it's been answered in the next comment.

    I may post a few chapters at a time, but Im typing as Im reading. Hope you fuckers are enjoying it because it's taking me a lot longer to get through the books than it normally would :crossedarms:

    Chapter 17
    - Oh shit The Grim found Harry and drug Ron off
    - LOL and the Whomping Willow beating the shit out of them trying to get Ron back
    - Crookshanks knows the magic knot button. Reminds me of Count Rogun's secret torture lair in The Princess Bride. I love that movie
    - Oh fuck it's Sirius Black and he has them trapped. Black turned into Scabbers didnt he?
    - Are they attacking him before he has a chance to tell them he's not here for Harry or possibly that he didn't actually kill his parents????
    - Lupin ... I knew something was off w him, but what the fuck is going on, and why is Ron the focus of their attention now?
    - Lupin's a werewolf?? How does Hermione know that?
    - She knows that because she's fucking smartie pie.
    - He wrote the map? This chapter is nuts.
    - Wrong on scabbers. Peter Pettigrew :warn:

    Theory - Pettigrew is the bad guy in all of this. Turned on Harry's parents, faked his death and framed Black :twocents:

    Chapter 18
    - Cool origin story about Lupin being a werewolf and the Whomping Willow
    - Oh cool Harry's Dad's invisibility cloak comes back into play too.
    - And now Snape just used it. Been upset w Harry's dad and harry under false pretenses!

    The Blackfish is right, Rowling is taking it to the next level w this book. So good.

    Chapter 19
    - The title of this chapter "The Servant of Lord Voldemort" has me on pins and needles
    - Oh C'mon Snape. I know youre a fucking twat that has it in for Harry, but I dont think youre this stupid not to hear them out!
    - pfffft. Our trio all blasted Snape at the same time... lol oops.
    - So Pettigrew has actually been scabbers the entire time? I thought he morphed into him or something. That seems a bit convenient tbh. Also if he's been scabbers all this time and really a Voldemort's servant, why hasn't he tried to murk harry a lot time ago while he was unsuspecting?
    - Explains why he lived so long
    - Peter still denying all these accusations. Too bad Snape is KTFO and missing it all.
    - OMG Im so smart and think like Hermione. She just brought up why he hasn't tried to get Harry before.
    - Because he's a pussy is the answer.
    - I was right about the "he's at hogwarts" not being for Harry. Wayyyyy off on who Black was really after. Although I dont think Peter was even introduced yet when I made that guess
    - Peter still denying. Is there another twist coming?
    - lol as soon as I type that out, here comes the confession.
    - Harry not wanting Lupin and Black to kill Pettigrew...

    Chapter 20
    - laughing at Sirius letting Snape bump around on the way back to the castle.
    - Harry getting to leave the Dursely's and live w Black? Yassssss!
    - Oh boy Lupin is turning into a werewolf
    - Goddamit Peter escaped, Lupin and black bolted and now they're going to have to convince Snape who surely wont believe them.
    - Oh shit. Omar's Dementors Comin
    - Was that doubledore that came and saved the day?

    Chapter 21
    - It was Snape. This should be good.
    - Or maybe it wasn't him. He's just as clueless.
    - Oh no, no one believes the kids and Black's gonna get got by the dementors
    - time travel???????
    - Now we know how Hermione is doing all her classes.

    ***Zach Morris Style Time Out****
    My first thought is if they have time travel abilities, why not go back and stop Voldemort? Im sure there are limitations to the time travel perhaps. OR maybe since baby Harry zapped all his power maybe it was decided James and Lily's death was an acceptable price to pay to rid themselves of Voldemort. If that's the case - what a tough pill to swallow for Harry.
    *** Time In****

    - Using Buckbeak to jailbreak Sirius. This should be good.
    - Oh man Harry and Hermione were the ones who saved the day when the dementors where about to get them all by the lake, aren't they?
    - LOL at Hagrid being all happy that Beaky escaped. That's great.
    - Harry thinks it's his dad who drove off the dementors. Hmm
    - Oh hey I was right for once. Get them dementors Harry! But if it was Prongs it was his dad in a way... That's dope.
    - They got Black out of there. Mission Accomplished. Good job H&H

    Chapter 22.
    - Snape still all pissed lol. Bitch.
    - Bummer Lupin has to move on. The Dark Arts teacher gag lives on. Who will it be next year?!?!
    - So Pettigrew as a life debt of sorts to Harry. Fuck him, that pussy will prob welch on it
    - Dang at Harry realizing he has to go back to the Dursley's instead of w Black.
    - Doubledore is the most respected Wizard right - why can't he just vouch for Black?
    - Lol at Hermione taking pride in guessing the Thunderbolt was from Black
    - Hell yeah Harry got the permission slip for Hogsmeade


    [​IMG]

    Awesome book. Lots of loose ends out there for the next book. Im irrationally frustrated Black has to be in hiding. Why can't doubledore get him off the hook. When do the Malfoy's start helping Voldemort and Pettigrew? Looking forward to the next one. Prob wont be until next monday tho.

    I can't do audiobooks. I always space out during them thinking about what was just said and miss the next few things. My reading comprehension is shit w audiobooks.

    I'll listen to non fiction stuff on audio, but stuff with a plot and especially something like this with twists, can't do it.

    I'm the same way, but since each chapter in HP is a self contained story in a way I find it easier to pay attention to than any other book I've listened to. Knowing you've only got to pay attention for ~15 minutes helps a lot.
