Re-read this! It made me feel like a kid again (an increasingly rare feeling to come across)

At this point what is there to even say? It's Harry Potter. Jim Dale is a really engaging narrator and I'm looking forward to finishing off this reread soon.

***

I found it surprising how little happens for most of the book but still how engaging I found it. It was one that I never wanted to put down and I flew through the long sections of teenage drama and angst. There's definitely less magic and action than most of the other books in the series, but so much character development and buildup for the final showdown. Although, I still found the climax very exciting, I think as an adult there's a lot of telling about what happened and we don't exactly get to see most of it. Of the three later books, this is probably my least favorite, but I still adored it.
