Notes:
- Again, 5/5. It's very unlikely a book in this series will be anything but 5 for my own nostalgia.
- The mystery element of this book was well done and pieced together so understandably and satisfyingly. Also a good point in the series to add a bit more depth to the characters (Weasley family, Harry's Slytherin traits).
- Big yikes to the way everyone at Hogwarts bullies Harry when they think he's Slytherin's heir too.
- I will say this one is a little bit more forgettable than I thought. Then again even as a kid CoS wasn't in my top favs.
