5 Stars! 

I am absolutely loving my re-read of this series so far!!! I am participating in a readalong of the series hosted by dustybooksniffers and readingwheneva! We are breaking the books into sections to read 2 times a week and I am also following along to the audiobooks for the first time. I am having the best time! This has been the perfect escape for me after a tough week a few weeks ago. 

As I've also mentioned in my updated reviews of the first 2 books in this series I am obsessed with the movies! However after re-reading this book last week I have come to the conclusion that I have been obsessed with the wrong thing because there is so much more crucial detail and character development that I missed when I last read these books. I was also in middle school the last time I read them so I may not have known to look for certain key details at the time.  

I love Harry, Ron, and Hermione, but I also love that we get introduced to some key characters in Lupin and Sirius Black in this book and I just love them so much! We also get introduced to Petter Peter Petttigrew and

a bit of backstory regarding Voldemort's rise to power.

I am very excited to see how everything is going to progress in future books!
