There is a lot more depth to what we learn about the town of Hogsmeade, its stores and their wares, including the tasty treats at the Three Broomsticks pub and Honeydukes candy shop, and all the mayhem that can be purchased from the joke shop. Fred and George Weasley, lively troublemakers, show off their favorites to their mother’s and teachers’ dismay.
There’s all sorts of clever wordplay - “Sirius” and “Remus Lupin” are my two favorite. There are funny bits about spells gone wrong, including one with errant vegetables. There’s further character development with Hermione’s unexpected sassiness adding pizzazz - plus it humanizes her and makes her more lovable, which is sometimes challenging given her absolute focus on rules and studying.
I could read this book another five times and still not grow tired of it.
