This book is distinctly less magical than the previous books. It is also the first book of the series that I kept thinking that the movie is better. In part due to the movie seeming more magical and in part due to much of the heavy material being left out of the movie. This book also feels a bit too much let a set up for the next books instead of a standalone story like the previous three.
The bigotry against Muggles and muggleborns is disturbing. More mature content is introduced in full swing including the bigotry against muggles as well as magical creature rights, torture, and a group of evil wizards.
Snape is truly horrible and this book starts to be too much, luckily he isn’t in this book too much. Draco is also awfully bigoted. Both of them are rather disgusting.
There were a couple of plot points changed between book and movie, some are for the best and some changes leave plot holes and questions like how Barry Crouch escaped and why Fudge doesn’t believe the truth. The movie has Neville help Harry which makes much more sense than Dobby helping him. But having Dobby in this book makes more sense for having Dobby in books later.

“We are only as strong as we are united, as weak as we are divided.”
It took a while to get there but once I did, I flew through this so fast. That alone warrants a 5 star rating, because this book is my favorite one. I think I'll bump up Prisoner of Askaban up to a 5 stars as well (previously a 4.75), because I genuinely can't decide which one I like more. This book had it all: a tournament, plot twists, shipping drama, and therefore, it marks the turning point in this series. IT'S SO GOOD OH MY GOODNESS!!
Current Rankings:

Most people really think HPOotP is when HP story is getting darker, but for me this book where it's started.
The opening make us wonder what kind of proble Harry Potter will be face in Hogwarts, and than we will meet another twist in the end of the story
