I always gets stuck with this one because it's so pointlessly long. I do like the complexity of the climax that is missing in the movie, and also all the stuff about discrimination against centaurs and goblins that never went anywhere in future books. I was reading it to my little sister 2-4 years ago, but then we stopped, so finished the last 2 chapters on my own. The last one is very good, I like the conversations with Nick and Luna (the last one got adapted in the film).

Re-read on the 6th of July, 2025 (childhood classic)

Probably not my favorite anymore, but Harry's moodiness was perfect when I was that age. And, ugh, Sirius.
