Was an amazing book. I really enjoyed the differences between the book and the films!

Let me preface this by stating I was around for the Harry Potter zeitgeist, albeit near the end, so I saw and understand the cultural impact that these books had. I also want to point out that I despise Moldemort (the author in case you can't figure it out), and unlike most people, I actually associate these books with a traumatic period of my childhood. I thought maybe if I read through them then it might help, but honestly now, I can't be asked. 

This one was a little better than the first, but it was still quite 'meh'. Maybe because I'm not a child, but I don't get it. I mean, it's not the worst thing I've ever read but if I had read this at the time of publication, I probably wouldn't have even bothered with the rest (and I didn't even now!)

I really like the books because they tell a bigger story than the movies

Bardzo mi się podobało! Świetnie się bawiłem, jednak dalej utrzymuje, że jest to najsłabsza część
