“Once again this is a review of my third time reading through this. The first two times the other books were still coming out every year and I was familer with part of the story, now I can see the whole picture and it comes with awesome insight.
There is still the a good bit of whimsy in this book, like the first one, but it has diminished somewhat. After the first one you are familiar with the castle, the professors, and you've got a great base for things. Now JK can focus on the characters themselves, and also on adding some more sinister elements. The new characters added are an awesome addition and add their own flair to the world.
Coming into this again I see somethings I would not have noticed before, like the vanishing cabinets being mentioned or the hints of Harry's true role. Truly JK is the master of foreshadowing and cryptic hints.
Like with the review before this one I can't really say how much I truly adore these books, they are some of the only books that can get me to cry, laugh out loud, and end up angry at someone. It may be just because I grew up with these, but I'm chalking it up to JK's impeccable writing skills. ”
