Keladry's Book Club: Reading and Discussing Harry
Welcome to my Harry Potter book club! The week's reading will be posted early in the weekend, and discussion posts will go up for those chapters the following Friday morning (California time) to give members the weekend to join in the discussion and have time to converse. We'll try to find the happy medium between reading slowly enough for busy people to keep up, but reading quickly enough for library books to not be overdue.
For the purposes of this community, canon is the seven "Harry Potter and the ..." books, "Quidditch through the Ages," and "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" (the two extra supplements written pre-2008). Pottermore, the films, book talks, social media and verbal comments from Rowling or Scholastic or Warner Brothers are not canon. I realize that this is a big debate in the fandom right now, and I could be wrong, but in this book club, that's how it is.
Trolling, spam, rudeness, disrespect, and general wank will not be permitted. Discussions of shipping (canon and non-canon) and headcanons are fine so long as evidence to support one's point of view comes from canon (see above). Freedom of speech and expression are welcome. We're focusing on the books instead of the films, so let's keep film talk to a supporting role as it relates to the books. Rude people and trolls will be messaged privately, but three strikes, and you're out.
TL;DR: this is a book club, and don't be a dick.
If we survive all seven books without leaving the Internet in ruins, we may collectively read and discuss other books, but let's see how this goes first.
