Ugh. It's impossible to get pack all the issues. The core book is solid. The mystery is interesting!  There are great plot twists!

And then the book is adamantly pro-slavery, the fat shaming is insane, and the misogyny palpable. Characters do not act consistently and Harry has NO personality in this.

Part of a shared read with Flo. Took ages to get through, but it was fun watching someone read for the first time.

This was a great and very intriguing book, the story was very interesting and it was really enjoyable to read. Does a really good job of advancing the story, and it works well on it's own as well.

Minor: Death and Fatphobia

The Dursleys are repeatedly described as "fat" with a negative connotation. Deaths of background characters are briefly mentioned.

This series was one of my favorites as a kid, but as an adult I can't see past J.K. Rowling's bigotry both on and off the page.

Solita premessa necessaria a causa dell'autrice dietro quest'opera: non condivido né supporto le sue visioni transfobiche e condanno le sue azioni. Nonostante ciò, la recensione di quest'opera sarà il più obiettiva possibile.

L'opera nel complesso mi è piaciuta molto e risulta molto più mature delle prime, cosa in parte dovuta al fatto che esse simulano la crescita del protagonista e con essa le imprese che deve compiere diventano sempre più complesse.

Nonostante ciò, non posso dare all'opera il voto che vorrei dare a livello di coinvolgimento, in quanto la questione degli elfi domestici è altamente problematica da qualsiasi angolazione la si voglia guardare. Se da una parte sono in condizione di schiavitù, dall'altra il fatto che

Hermione compie azione al fine liberarli, nonostante loro siano contrari a ciò, usando il suo più alto stato sociale, in maniera sbagliata

. 

Altri due elementi problematici sono l'abuso di potere da parte di Piton nei confronti degli studenti, ma in particolare di Potter e l'atteggiamento spesso prevenuto nei confronti degli stranieri.

Inoltre, anche se di minore importanza, non riesco a comprendere perché

Moody abbia insegnato ad Harry a resistere all'incantesimo Imperius, a fronte della rivelazione finale

.

Cosa positiva invece è il fatto che in questo libro siano state radicate le fondamenta per il prossimo.
