The 2012 Harry Potter Reading Challenge is hosted by Penelope @ The Reading Fever!
Read all seven books in the Harry Potter series during 2012.
Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
Harry Potter and the Order of the Pheonix
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
- The challenge will run from January 1st, 2012, to December 31st, 2012. Books read before or after this time frame do not count. You can join anytime until the challenge ends.
- Books can be in any format: Print, ebook, audiobook, etc..
- You do not have to review the books to participate, although you are more than welcome to. If you choose not to review, you can also do the following and still be eligible for prizes:
- Answer the discussion questions each month
- Create a post talking about each book after you finish (any topic)
- Just update your kickoff post after each book
- Those without blogs can leave a comment with their thoughts/review/review link.
- Because this is open to those who have already read HP, old reviews will be accepted. Whether you have read the books within the challenge time frame is on the honor system, so please be honest!
- Be sure to leave the relevant links in each linky to be entered into the drawings for prizes (more on that below).
Once the challenge begins, there will be a new item in the menu bar titled: 2012 HPRC. This will take you to a page that will list all the related posts and linkys where you can post your reviews or discussions.
Extra Credit:
- Read at least one book per month, starting in January. If you do this you will be done well before September, which is when you can join me at Potter Con 2012, the first online HP conference!
- Each month, I will have a new linky on my blog where you can come to post your reviews/discussions of each book you have read. These will correspond with that month's book (Jan. = Sorcerer's Stone, Feb. = Chamber of Secrets, and so on).
- In addition, I will post discussion questions about each book that you can answer on your blog, or in the comments of that post.
- Watch the corresponding movie at the end of each book, and experience them with a fresh new viewpoint.
- Tweet with me throughout the year! #2012HPRC

Sweet Stuff:
Throughout the year I will be giving away items related to Harry Potter, for those participating in the challenge. Full details on these items will be available later, but I have plans for things like a wand, HP jewelry, books, and other cool stuff.
At the end of the challenge, I'll have a grand prize giveaway with lots of good stuff, and possibly a boxed set of the entire series. Participating in the extra credit activities will earn you more entries for this!
