3 out of 5 ☆’s.

”It is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.”

While I enjoyed the fact that we were able to jump into the Hogwarts happenings right off of the bat in this book - I didn’t enjoy CoS as much as I enjoyed its predecessor. 

I cannot pinpoint what it was that stopped me from enjoying this book more…I think this plot just didn’t intrigue me as much? ://

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.
