This book does a great job of setting up some of the later plot points

Spoiler

(see: the sword, Tom Riddle, Hagrid's backstory and more)

but it feels a bit more drawn out than the first book. There's a hint of comedy, returning favorites from the first book, a good mystery, and a lot of wizard lore that makes this edition an overall pleasant read. 

While the plot felt pretty solid throughout, there were a few things I had an issue with. First, I feel like Ginny was shoehorned in at the very end; I assume this was to include the whole Weasley family and add higher stakes, either way it felt extremely forced. Second, I *really* Dobby. There is truly no reason for him to be included in the plot besides the chaos he brings but, in my opinion, his points could have easily been brought by a different character. 

There are also some things in this book that I really enjoyed! Gilderoy Lockheart is my one of my favorite characters in the series, I really love the background we get on the school's foundeds, and I think this book does a great job of showcasing Malfoy's father.
