Well, I have two more of the Harry Potter books to go before July 16! I definitely don't want to be left out of all the fun then.
Book three is pretty good, I don't think it is quite as imaginitive and whimsical as the first two, but I guess those were hard acts to follow. I was actually kindof put off by the Star Trekishness of the "Dementors" who make you feel the emotions caused by your worst memories. I half expected there to be a Professor Spok who would call the whole thing "fascinating." It also seemed strange to me that Scabbers was the bad guy all along. It seemed that Scabbers/Wormtail would have attempted something before that point. I mean he was living with the Weasleys for years right?
But again I am probably being overly critical. It is written for children. The fact that 2nd and 3rd graders are reading these books and understanding them is cool.
