(Sinceramente, tardé tanto en leerme este libro que casi no me acuerdo de la primera mitad, pero lo haré lo mejor que pueda)

Es bastante parecido al primer libro en diferentes aspectos: Harry y sus amigos arriesgando su vida para librar al colegio del mal (Hogwarts sigue sin ser un lugar seguro, Dumby~), algunos huecos argumentales (

no les cuentan a los profesores lo que descubrieron tras enterarse de lo de Ginny, pero el libro los hace ver cómo unos ineptos si Hermione pudo unir las piezas y ellos no, así que no los culpo

Second listen of the year: 31/10/22 - 09/11/22

Amazing as always. I noticed especially in this book that while Hermione is present for a lot of scenes (pre- petrifying), doesn’t actually have any lines? Or only one or two. I know I know, I shouldn’t be surprised by this from the author but yeah only just noticed that.

- I recently saw a post from tumblr saying while it is never explicitly written that Harry was physically abused by the Dursley’s it’s expected/ understood that he is. I think that is further supported by the fact that the below happens in this book and it gives the air of this has happened before, suggesting he doesn’t normally stand his ground (that is, if the violence is even normally caused by Harry wanting something?)
- “You'll get the stuffing knocked out of you, won't you?" roared Uncle Vernon, advancing on Harry with his fist raised. But Harry stood his ground.”

First listen: 06/01/22 - 13/01/22
