Audiobook - 12 hours - Repeating myself again, but very hard to rate and review this book for various reasons. Objectively an interesting plot, introducing some of my favourite characters in the series, but some of the plot points got a little tiring (ie. the Crookshanks/Scabbers incident). Honestly I was expecting to enjoy this more than the Chamber of Secrets but I think this is a bias of the films making me misremember exactly how the books go. I think I prefer the books which talk about Voldemort more.

My once-upon-a-time favourite book. I'm not sure if this is still my favourite but it's definitely up there. Reasons:

- THE MARAUDERS!!! What more do I have to say
- One of the best forms of time travelling in fiction, honestly
- Chocolate is a cure-all
- Dementors are genuinely terrifying (and by extension, so is Azkaban)
- Remus Lupin is the bestest boy ever
- The start of the extremely short-lived Sirius/Harry relationship :(
- This is more of a movie thing, but Harry screaming "EXPECTO PATRONUM" gives me chills
- Patronuses (Patronii?) are super cool
- 'I solemnly swear that I'm up to no good' 'Mischief Managed'
- When the Marauders' Map hurled those insults at Snape 😭
- Harry finally snapping at the Dursleys and running away, you slay boy
- Harry living alone in Diagon Alley, you keep slaying boy
- The Knight Bus and Stan Shunpike
- Introduction to Hogsmeade
- Hermione slapping Draco in the good old face
- Wholesome Hagrid moments <s>when he's not trying to kill his students unintentionally</s>
- Pretty cover
- The Quidditch matches, and Gryffindor winning the cup
- 'Harry! Simply splendid to see you, old boy.' 'Marvellous. Absolutely spiffing.' 'Mum! How really corking to see you'
- Percy the Prefect shenanigans 
- Fred and George's entire existence, but that's the highlight of every book
