This book is not my favorite Harry Potter novel but reading the series again makes me notice some details that foreshadow important plot points in later books. I think they are cleverly integrated. I do think this book takes some time before any questions about the mysterious situation at Hogwarts are answered. Many questions that don’t seem to connect to each other surface up until the lays quarter or so of the novel.

I don't have much to say besides, I'm glad I don't have to think too much about Gilderoy anymore.
