When I first read this book, I was so excited! I loved reading the Sorcerer’s Stone and couldn’t wait to read book 2. I first read them in middle school, and disliked reading but these books were really interesting, and I loved them! Back then, it took me a few months to read each book, now it takes me a few days. Now, having read all of them a few times, this book is just mid in my opinion. It gives more world-building and backstory on the overall plot that follows all 7 books but there are definitely better books in the series.
 
The movie version of this book is neither the best nor the worst. As the books get longer, the movies have to leave out more and more things. This one was good in that a lot was kept but also was just a mediocre movie compared to some of the other ones.
