While this book isn’t my favourite in the collection, I appreciate the plot development within this book. I loved the blossoming relationship between Sirius and Harry in this book and I found Sirius’s demise in this novel as heartbreaking as the first time. While the plot is slower that the goblet of fire or the prisoner of Azkaban, I understand that this book is a stepping stone that gives context to the wider and richer plot of Harry and Voldemort’s connection. This book also lays the foundation for the next few books to solidify the main plot points between those fundamental characters. This book is also the first book we start to question Dumbledore and understand Snape more. We also get that first glimpse into the faltered characters of Harry’s parents and father figures in Snape’s memory in the penseive. We also start to connect with characters like Neville and Luna and Tonks who become more significant in the later books. Overall I enjoyed this book but not as much as the goblet of fire or the prisoner of Azkaban and so I give it a 3.5/4 out of 5 stars.
