If not for Goblet of Fire’s Triwizard Cup, this would be my fave because of its snappy dialogues and rich details! Reading this book makes the film feel like a short film if not a trailer—so many details were left out. I was just disappointed with the trio for

not wanting to be there for Hagrid while he was mourning Aragog’s death. Like… dude, it’s Hagrid!!!

I’ve got such a soft spot for that guy! I like how the love stories were written. It didn't felt forced, unlike in the movies.
