If you're anything like me, you read the Harry Potter series for the first time as a kid and you've been obsessed ever since. Over the summer, I was watching the movies (subpar, but you gotta take what you can get), when I realized that it had been a couple of years since I had read the books and that I was starting to forget some of the stuff that the movies don't include.

For someone like me who has read the series at least ten times, this was not ok. So, as a way to take a mental break from my schoolwork this semester, I decided that I would reread them. However, I added a twist.

Instead of just reading them, I've been unleashing my inner English major and writing all in them. Underlining quotes and little pieces that I've missed and writing my reactions at the ends of chapters has been a really interesting experience thus far (I'm only halfway through Prisoner of Azkaban). So, basically, I've been paying attention to my reactions to the books more than I usually would. Here are 11 reactions you have when rereading the Harry Potter series.

1. "AHH! Nostalgia!"

Nothing makes you feel like a little kid again quicker than revisiting your favorite stories. The magic is starting all over again for me.

2. "How the heck did the Dursleys get away with abusing Harry like that?"

Honestly, someone should've probably called the British version of Social Services on them for all of the mental (and sometimes physical) abuse that they put Harry through in the name of trying to make him "normal." Would they have loved him if he was? No, probably not.

3. "Ooh! Yes! Magic!"

I don't care that I'm a grown adult - the kid inside of me still wants magic to be real. Chapter 5 of Sorcerer's Stone (the one where he goes to Diagon Alley for the first time) always makes me feel like this.

4. "Hagrid is wonderful and Harry should've named all his children after him"

Albus SEVERUS?! Seriously, Harry? Snape hated you. Loathed you. He hated your dad, your godfather, your good pal Remus Lupin (who also deserved to have one of your kids named after him). He hated literally everyone who ever acted as a father-type figure to you, but you named a kid after him instead of Hagrid.

Hagrid, who traveled to the ends of the earth in a massive storm and beat down a door just to give you your Hogwarts letter. Hagrid, who introduced you to magic. Hagrid who took care of you the entire time you were at Hogwarts and was so heartbroken when he was carrying what he thought was your dead body that his sobs were shaking you. You didn't name a kid after him. Ok. Cool.

5. "I wish Hermione Granger was my best friend"

Does this even need any explanation?

6. "Ron Weasely eating dinner is every college student's dream."

Honestly, if a college student who isn't a first-year/freshman swipes into a dining hall, this is probably how they look.

7. "J.K. Rowling is the queen of foreshadowing!"

I've written those exact words in the margins of my books like a hundred times in the space of just two and a half books.

8. "Albus. Dumbledore."

I know that some people don't like him, but I have always loved Albus Dumbledore. I love how much he cares about Harry as a person as well as Harry, the Boy Who Lived.

9. "Holidays at Hogwarts would be lit."

Their Halloween and Christmas sound like the coolest thing ever (unless you're getting petrified by a Basilisk, at a DeathDay party, or trying to sneak into the Slytherin common room using Polyjuice Potion).

10. "Sweet Neville!"

Neville Longbottom is one of those characters that I will love forever and ever because he's just so sweet and precious.

11. "Harry's kind of an idiot..."

"Harry, what the actual heck are you doing?" – me every other page or so.

12. "Were these people always this annoying?"

Draco Malfoy, Gilderoy Lockhart, the Durselys, Lucius Malfoy, Fudge... the list could go on and on – they're all super annoying characters, and I knew this. I had just forgotten how much.

13. "DOBBY!"

I love Dobby so much, y'all.

14. "Why am I not a Weasely?"

Name a cooler family than the Weasleys. I'll wait.

15. "What would all of this magical stuff say about me?"

What would I see in the Mirror of Erised? What would my Patronus be? What would my boggart be? If I were an animagus, what would I turn into? So many questions that I'll never have answered outside of Pottermore.

16. "Minerva McGonagall is the best."

I will fight you to the death if you try to deny this.

17. "J.K. Rowling is the queen of everything, tbh."

The books are so subtly genius that you don't even realize it until you start looking for it, but JKR uses tons of techniques that the average person hasn't even heard of. These are also some of the most lovable characters, most memorable scenes, and most creative plot twists to ever be written.

Let's not forget that there are entire theme parks dedicated to trying to bring this fictional world to life. She's essentially brainwashed an entire generation (or two, depending on how you look at it) into pretending they're wizards. QUEEN.

18. "The Mauraders are so cool!"

Anyone else wishing they could take Peter's place and be the fourth Maurader?

19. "I love Fred and George!"

These two are the actual best, funniest thing ever.

20. "Book Ginny is the coolest!"

She's had maybe ten pages total of time in the books so far and even just with that, she would be better than movie Ginny.

21. "Remus Lupin is so pure and must be protected at all costs."

For the entire third book, I just wanted to hug Remus Lupin. Not only was he a really good friend, but he was also a really good mentor to Harry and cared so much about the people he loved that he was willing to hurt himself in order to protect them.

22. "I'm home."

"Whether you come back by page or by the big screen, Hogwarts will always be there to welcome you home."
