Hey, guys! We are teaming up with Shelfie in a re-read of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone! Read along with us and enter for a chance to win a Hagrid Funko Pop from Shelfie! Just answer the three questions below.
1. Would you rather have unicorn hair, phoenix tail feather, or the heartstring of a dragon as your wand core?
2. Trivia: Which 2 chocolate frog cards is Ron missing?
3. How might Harry be different had he grown up in the wizarding world?
To enter, comment with your answers either on our blog or by visiting Shelfie’s website. You can also enter through Shelfie’s Rafflecopter widget here.
Look for more questions and more chances to win in the coming weeks as we read the rest of the book. Winners will be chosen on February 3, 2016!
- Jan 19: From Little Whinging to Platform 3/4 (Ch. 1-6)
- Jan 25: Becoming a Gryffindor (Ch. 7-12)
- Jan 31: Protecting the Philosopher’s Stone (Ch. 13-17)
Here are our answers!
- Heather: Heartstring of a dragon seems most in line with myself as a Gryffindor, but I think I’d want unicorn hair just for the glamour.
Tqwana: The Phoenix tail feather, b/c I took a quiz once and the phoenix was my Patronus. - Leaving this a mystery…
- Heather: I wonder if he would have chosen different friends at Hogwarts or would have grown up similarly to his father in being a trouble maker and mischievous…
Tqwana: What makes Harry special is that despite growing up in such an abusive environment, he was still innately kind, modest, and selfless to a point. I don’t think growing up in the wizarding world would’ve changed that much. Maybe he might’ve been angrier a lot sooner being reminded of his parents’ deaths constantly.
So glad to have this opportunity to read along with Shelfie and be fan girls all over again!
** Can you beat Tqwana’s score on Buzzfeed’s How Well Do You Know The Harry Potter Books? She got 21/25 (and I’m very disappointed in that score too! -TQ)

Wow, 21/25 is good, Tqwana! That quiz taught me… I need to reread ALL of the books. hehe. -Rosie

That score has me more excited for this re-read. Lots of little details/trivia I’ve lost.
