I can't believe it has taken me this long to finally read a Harry Potter book but here we are finally! Honestly, I have watched all of the movies and I never really cared for this one as it felt a bit too, I don't know, whimsical? But this read was a blast, it was fun, and lighthearted, added a lot more depth to the characters than the movie, and was overall just a really good time. Can't wait for the next one!
