This one isn't as good as the first one, and I'm going to keep my rating the same as it was before. It felt as though the writing wasn't as passionate as the first novel - I've heard I'm not the only one who thinks this - so no one throw things at me!
Either way, it's still Harry Potter, so of course it's naturally amazing and wonderful. None of these books are bad. Just some are better than others!...more

This was … underwhelming. It’s still Harry Potter and I’ll always love this series but - I hate saying this - it wasn’t as good as the first time I read it. Even worse, I feel like the movie (just for this novel) was better (ahh, sorry!).
THE WRITING
This was a big factor in me rating this under 4 stars. This time around, I realized that the writing wasn’t as strong as other books I’ve read, which made it difficult for me to imagine everything. I mean, I still enjoyed the writing, but the later books in the series really showcase J. K. Rowlings wonderful writing ability.
THE CHARACTERS
They’re amazing. Of course. Nothing to add here.
PLOT
Very packed and fast-paced, which was a blessing and a curse at the same time. I enjoyed everything that happened plot-wise, up until Hermione and Harry went back in time with her time-changing thing (I can’t remember the name of it right now). I thought that was better executed in the movie than in the book. Again, I hate comparing this to the movie, but this is my review and my opinion!
EVERYTHING ELSE
The beginning of this was better than the ending — I felt like everything slowed down towards the end. I don’t know. Honestly, this one felt underwhelming. Not nearly as dull as Chamber of Secrets, however underwhelming none the less.
Still, despite everything negative I truly did enjoy this. It was fun to reread after so many years!...more
