I really enjoyed this as a sequel. It had all the charm of the first book and I especially loved reading  how the friendship between Harry, Ron and Hermione has grown. The book teaches some important lessons between right and wrong and I wish I had read this as my younger South and not the almost 25-year-old that I am, reading for the first time. However, a delight regardless.

Lockhart was an absolute gem as a character – pitched perfectly!

I did feel the description was sometimes rushed and not as explained and fully fleshed out as the first book, but maybe J.K.wrote on the belief that readers had already read book one to begin with.
