Continuing a very average novel

2 stars

Even as a kids' series, the deeper I get into this series, the more I find weakness in the writing and uninspired environments. Characters where decisions don't matter are not overly interesting and having flat characters in the background that are bad for bad's sake make for an non engaging plot that's hard to get through.

I think the weakest part of this series thus far has been the quidditch tournaments. This is likely a very controversial take, but I don't feel they contribute much if at all to the plot and create lots of filler that I'd rather just skip through. It may appeal to kids, but it's hard to see in my current read.

The novels themselves are a cult classic, so I definitely encourage you to give it a try to see if it floats your boat, but as for me, I'd prefer to dock …

Harry Potter great read

4 stars

I realize the #Harry_Potter has been out for more than a decade, perhaps 2 decades at this point. I tried to read them to my kids when they were little, but unfortunately they were not very interested. Now I have read them by myself.

What an imagination #Rowling has. I am going to find more of her books to read. I also have learned recently that she has been writing under a few different pen names.

The last book that relies on an overarching plot

4 stars

After the very eerie ending of the third book, this one is quite light-hearted for the most part. What's new is that people are now being killed as part of the plotline, and much of Voldemort's reign of terror is revealed.

The plot is well-constructed (as would be expected), but Rowling's knack of introducing a new basic form of magic in every book and then overusing it as a plot device becomes slightly annoying here. Still, this is the last book that relies on an overarching plot, and should be enjoyed as such.
