reread chamber of secrets!

I'm getting into the HP series again, after not reading them for over five years  I have just finished the Chamber of Secrets.   Flashback to when I was in 4th grade.  I just read it.  I wanted to read, and finish it.  Fast.

In seventh grade, I read it again, and understood it for the story and everything and couldn't put it down.  And now, six years later, I hung on to every word, I'm seeing how fine crafted the sentences are structured and the humor, and I'm lovin it more than ever.

...and I just realized that in the back of the book jacket, that girl is GINNY, and not Hermione.  How did I always think that it was Hermione?!?!

Even though I knew what was going to happen, I still felt a jolt when I read Harry and Ron eavesdropping and hearing Prof McGonnagall say it was Ginny that was taken to the Chamber.  And I nearly cried after reading what Tom Riddle said about what Ginny was going through, with her crush on Harry.  She was so quiet!  And listening, er reading, to Dumbledore's advice, about how it's our choices that determines something something and not our abilities; I'm truly taking this in as a piece of painting in this art museum mind, because I know it'll be useful for me in life (even though I know life is all about decisions from my cousin's advice already, this confirms it further).

I'm excited to read Azkaban next!
