Because I like Harry Potter and I like losing weight and I like FOOOOOD... this started life on my personal goals blog and I thought, well, there are lots of Harry Potter fans milling about on here... so... here we go.

Check in here with your progress/Harry Potter gifs (you get Brownie points from me if you include gifs of Lucius Malfoy or Barty Crouch Jr.)
There is no time limit! Time limits are for Muggles.

On with the fun...

This is the awesomest challenge I've seen! Totally in!
Starting Weight is 205, so heading to 198 for the first book...what a great excuse to re-read the series also!1 -
I LOVE THIS!!!!!!
I have a lot of weight to lose, so I'll throw in Cursed Child in the end. Which I preordered and waited in line for, but still haven't finished because the play style fanfiction writing makes me sad and mad....but anyways.
I will be listening on audiobook, because I sadly haven't much time for actual real page reading these days. 12 -

I can't seem to get through this book either. I don't like the style at all and have myself mad at it as well. I am listening to Order of the Pheonix now on audio though to cleanse the experience
