So I participated in the OWL's readathon and haven't posted how I did, which you can see below. But first, the NEWT's readathon is also taking place throughout August. You can find the announcement video here.
So, the challenges are below. Any labelled DNF means that I didn't participate in these challenges. I would have liked to complete the Potions challenge but I didn't have a book that featured anything to do with the challenge.
