We really should do something like this one of these days. Keep it interesting when the show season is done.
You can count me in if you do. I've read and reread the books more often than ASOIAF. To my shame. I'm always finding new things though. It would also be great to have a new perceptive from such analytical thinkers.

Ive been wanting to with the new book coming out. I don't have a lot of time, but do you want to lead a re-read project? If so, let me know. I can help and we can start a sub-board here, starting with book 1, and go from there. Would you want a thread for each book and casually comment as we go, or something more structured? We could have a subfolder for each book and make threads about chapters or general details. It's been years, i read it 2-3 times I think, but I'm down. Think on it and tell me how you want to proceed, and I can start a sub board this week. Either if I get out early on a slow night or on Weds when I'm off.

Wow! Thanks Mojo. I'm not sure I'm ready to take on that amount of responsibility That's a big deal in my book. I'm flattered you've offered it to me!
I've got a full schedule right now, but I'll give it some serious thought. I get sent on out of town assignments all the time, so I do get some nights with F-all to do. The new book comes out at the end of the month. It will probably change later since Pottermore announced that the initial copy will be the production copy, and later they'll release an official play version different from the first one. This might be something we could sink our teeth into to start with.
I'm sorry to say I haven't a clue what you mean by all the technical stuff, but I do think the whole subject should be separate from this thread. A thread dedicated to HP and the Cursed Child would be needed. And one for each book too. Beyond that, it's up to you guys to decide, I feel.

We can handle the technical stuff for you. I'll start setting up what Mojo was talking about.

ginnysredhair, it's not really a huge responsibility, we're pretty laid back if you haven't noticed yet, lol.
Once we get our subfolders set up for each book, we can start threads- don't be shy. Basically you, or anyone can start threads about chapters like the forensic files here, or any topic. When I finish watching Poldark I'll start reading book 1.
But it I know exactly what it's like to work to death....why do you think I drink so much? Lol! We all help each other out- look at voice jumping in.
This is an open invitation, by the way- anyone has any ideas, we want you to be happy and share. Look at maestercambodia- voice made him a literature thread.
It it doesn't have to be really formal or on a time schedule, jump in as you feel comfortable- don't stress- this is fun, not a second job. I'm sure you'll get more confident as we get started. Don't overthink anything, and let any of us mods if you need help. We all have access to the control panel so whoever is around can help if you have technical things you prefer.
Example: if the format we choose wasn't what you had in mind, let us know and we can play around and tinker toward your liking.
gotta go back to prison for a few hours. Cheers!

I belong to a Jane Austen fan site which has rolling reread schedules of everything she wrote, including the juvenalia.
It doesn't take much. Simply mark out a schedule and say you'll do X number of chapters a week. People read the chapters all week and then discuss them on the weekend . Next week rinse and repeat.
I can set up a schedule easily, we just need to agree on how many chapters a week to read.
It's a download but a good critique of the series.
Book 6 felt like a jumping the shark moment for the book series, for myself. I read Book 6 and felt a deep disturbing feeling in the pit of my stomach the entire time that it wasn't really for me. Book 7 was read simply to finish out the story and not much more.
Yeah, the last books were like Harry Potter went camping

Still fun to read as a grown up; you notice more mature moments you didn't before, foreshadowing and such....she really had it planned out. She was no gardener!
