Oy, what to say about Book 2 of the Potter behemoth? It's better than the first one, still not a book I'd term "great." I get the feeling that Rowling's thinking ahead as she writes, though, and that's Smart.

I enjoy Hermione, maybe because I was her male equivalent back in the day, bookish, studious, and rule-smitten. I explicitly do not enjoy the elf character Dobby. While I'm told that he has a crucial role to come in the series, here he flat-out reminded me of Jar-Jar Binks from the latter-day Star Wars flicks. That is to say that I detested the character's every scene, word, and movement. What a deplorable urchin. I mourn his creation.

The second half of this one picked up, as did the first. I still eagerly await the darkening of the series in Book 4, two books from now as I pile-drive the lot of them leading up to the last installment's release.

Just finished the audio book for the first time. I love this series so much and experiencing it in a new way is just lovely!

Quizá me ha gustado un poquito menos que el primero, pero la historia avanza mucho.

I can’t even begin to tell you how many times I’ve read this series and how rewarding it is to rediscover so many different elements associated with this series and how the books connect to each other. If I had to rank the Harry Potter books in order, I would say that this is typically my least favorite, but I always have the most appreciation for the book simply because of the fact that this is where readers really get the opportunity to see how so many elements of this book connect to Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. I could do an extensive review of each book; however, I just want to really discuss some key differences I noticed between the book and movie simply because the movies seem to be the easiest to remember. Every time I go back and I re-read the book it feels so amazing to actually remember all the tiny details that the movies were not able to capture. Also, my re-read of this book entailed me to listen to it for the first time on audiobook and I must say WOW! It was so beautifully done and I absolutely loved the way he characterized the voices of each character. It brought the story to life and I can’t wait to listen to the rest of the series on audiobook.

My full review will be posted when it goes live on my blog! : )

Mi libro menos favorito de la saga. Cada ves estoy mas convencida que es una saga sobrevalorada
