I haven't read this before, nor have I seen the film. I need to get with the program and read all of these Harry Potter books before the new one comes out. I work at a school so all of my students and co-workers will be talking about it during the summmer program.
I liked this book a lot. I must have, I read it in a few hours. I didn't like it as much as the first one though. The first one seemed more myserious. I knew what was going to happen with this one, I just didn't know how it was going to reveal itself. First of all I suppose Rowling expected you to believe the "Heir of Slytherin" was a particular individual but that seemed too obvious to me. Maybe younger readers were more surprised by who it really was and who was helping him.
I'll probably start on the next one later this week. Maybe even tonight.
My Rating: 3/5
