I love Harry Potter as much as anyone, which is why I urge everyone who spends money on these books to also support the trans community. “Differences of habit, language and gender are nothing at all if our aims are identical and our hearts are open.” - Not J.K. "If you want to know what a man's like, take a good look at how he treats his inferiors, not his equals.". I kind of feel sad about the readers during original release years, who had to wait year after year for the next book. I don't think I'll be able to rest well until I'm done with the series. And the occasional humor complements nicely without distracting the reader too much. Though I loved the first three 'relatively-trouble-free' years, this one is certainly more interesting with so much happening, while introducing a whole new set of interesting characters. "Alf-giant? Moi? I'ave - I'ave big bone!"Īs far as the environs go, I think it's safe to say that we've arrived at darker times, toward which the third book made way for. I don't recall ever being more immersed in a book than this one (again, I'm probably getting ahead of myself). On the contrary, the reader is kept well in suspense, with a number of twists, without making anything too unreal (relative to the world of magic that is). Though the events are being described in much more detail, it does not take away anything in terms of interest. It's great to have that feeling of 'how easy it is to read everything is' still being part of the author's narration. "Will you please inform zis 'Agrid zat ze 'orses drink only single-malt whiskey?" It's like Rowling just had a look at the first books, found them to be way too short, and came up with this one, which is much longer than the previous ones - combined! And the writing style keeps on improving, while plot getting more and more thrilling, making it oh so delightful to read. It's been proven three times now, that I always get ahead of myself when reviewing Harry Potter, incorrectly concluding the last one (out of the ones I've read so far) to be the best, but it cannot be helped.

But unfortunately for Harry Potter, he's not normal - even by wizarding standards.Īnd in his case, different can be deadly.more He wants to be a normal, fourteen-year-old wizard. He wants to find out about the mysterious event that's supposed to take place at Hogwarts this year, an event involving two other rival schools of magic, and a competition that hasn't happened for hundreds of years. He wants to dream about Cho Chang, his crush (and maybe do more than dream). Harry wants to get away from the pernicious Dursleys and go to the International Quidditch Cup with Hermione, Ron, and the Weasleys. He wants to find out about the mysterious event that's supposed to take place at Hogwa Harry Potter is midway through his training as a wizard and his coming of age.
