I forgot how funny Ron is?!?!
Also, this is all very exciting and everything but why do they never tell anyone when they suspect something😭 “Oh yeah, we’re three twelve year olds, of course we can kill a 40 feet venomous deadly snake alone, no problem” be so for real.

Overall, I liked this volume a little better than the first volume. With each volume I notice more and more how much I would like to go to school at Hogwarts and how much fun I have reading the story. It's just a part of my childhood & even though I'm reading the series for the first time, it's a bit like coming home. 
But I still have a few things to criticize: the chapters are too long for me, the narrative perspective makes it difficult for me to read & what really bothers me is that there is simply no discussion of emotions. J.K. Rowling uses almost exclusively the outside perspective & really only focuses on the plot. I think that's a shame because it means I can't get to know the characters more closely. 
Nevertheless, I love the story and am looking forward to the third volume!!
