fast-paced

  • Loveable characters? Yes

5.0

As with the first book, I really wish I had read these when I was younger.

Lockhart bothered me from the beginning. Draco is still ever so deserving of a smack in the mouth as he was in the first book, and Hagrid is still my favorite of the adults and deserved better treatment from others around him. He reminds me a lot of Fezzik as we see him in The Princess Bride (exceptionally large and probably capable of bending others around him (possibly physically) to his will but oh, so gentle possibly to a fault).

Looking forward to the next book whenever my library hold comes up for it.
