It‘s been so long since I last read the books that the differences to the movie was crazy to notice especially in this one. The fighting scene at the end is quite anticlimactic in the book but I loved the valentine‘s day! Wholesome stuff altogether obviously

a little bit all over the place, too many plot lines but they all tie up perfectly, so it only lost a half point from the first book. ron is written SO well in this book, and it makes me so angry how they cheated him out of an actual fully rounded character in the movies, he’s so lame in the films, but so so good in the books

This is probably an unnecessarily harsh number of stars to give it, but it suffers by way of comparison to the rest of the series. The characters and world are still wonderful and comfortable. It's a fun reread as a part of a great series. It's a little weaker than others and it plods a little in the middle before rocketing through the climax and conclusion.

As with the first book, I really wish I had read these when I was younger.

Lockhart bothered me from the beginning. Draco is still ever so deserving of a smack in the mouth as he was in the first book, and Hagrid is still my favorite of the adults and deserved better treatment from others around him. He reminds me a lot of Fezzik as we see him in The Princess Bride (exceptionally large and probably capable of bending others around him (possibly physically) to his will but oh, so gentle possibly to a fault).

Looking forward to the next book whenever my library hold comes up for it.
