I just finished reading this book yesterday and I have to say, much like the other books in the series, I really enjoyed it. I thought it started off kind of slow, but by the time I got near the end, I couldn’t put it down. The thing with this series is that the first book was so magical with all of the inventive stuff going on–Quidditch, Hogwarts, all of the cool creatures, etc.–that you don’t even care about the story as much as you’re reveling in all of the details. But, this is old hat by the time you’ve read the sixth book so now we’re relying on how good the story is. And, this one was good. I, like millions of others, am now anxiously awaiting the next book.
