A review by saradallapalma
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban by J.K. Rowling
4.0
15 July -> first re read and I give 4.5 ⭐️
In my opinion one of the best book of the series so far. The first time I read it I found it a little boring but I didn't like it most because of Sirius.
I never liked him, I always though he had some dark secrets and that in the end he really betrayed James and Lily. The thing I hated the most was that the Trio believe him almost immediately. What if it was a lie? I don't know it convinced me also but, I don't know if, personally, I would believe that man ride away. I still can't see how people can love Sirius Black but, hey, i'm the girl who love Cedric Diggory with all her body and soul so I don't have to talk..
Another thing I didn't like was Snape. Here another character I never like in my first read of the book: not even in the end I could understand why he bullied everyone except Slytherin kids. At one point he said something like "Don't even bother to try difficult things with Longbottom because it doesn't get it. Unless Granger is there to pass him notes."
Are you joking?
Also he - multiple times - said Hermione to shut her mouth in very bad ways.
Really Jk Rowling? You built a character whose main job is bullying and then "redeem" him at the end of the books? I'm not really okay with that!
Those are the main things I didn't like. I kinda like the plot of the time turner even if really mess up the plot, I like how the book was more easily fast to read and the character's development (Hermione my beautiful child and Ron please calm down).
OH I FORGOT
ANOTHER BAD THING
GOODBYE OLIVER WOOD I LOVED YOU SO MUCH BEAUTIFUL CHILD
