 “Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.”

OH MY GOODNESS THIS IS THE BEST BOOK YET!! IF OTHER BOOKS DON'T TOP THIS ONE THEN I'LL MAKE MY RATING 5 STARS BECAUSE I LOVE SIRIUS AND LUPIN AND ALL THE SHENANIGANS AND EVERYTHING WAS SO GOOD LIKE WHAT ??? This was one of my favorite movies and I'm glad that the book is the same as well.

Current Rankings:
  1. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Askaban
  2. Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
  3. Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone

Best one so far! Loved the cat, the turner, Serious and my beloved Remus off course! Loved to learn more about the marauders cause we really don't in the movies! Easily the best book so far, so engaging! 

Am I crazy though for enjoying the events more in the movie with how the show them going back in time by throwing rocks at the window, howling at remus and so on. I enjoyed that a lot in the movies but maybe it would have been a bit too obvious if they did it in the books idk.

“¿Piensas que los muertos a los que hemos querido nos abandonan del todo? ¿No crees que los recordamos especialmente en los mayores apuros? Tu padre vive en ti, Harry, y se manifiesta más claramente cuando lo necesitas.”

This newest MinaLima edition is another excellent addition to the series and by design alone I would give it full five stars. Unfortunately some of my rating goes to the story, world, characters and plot. And as this whole series (as with too many children's books) suffers from the trope of "adults are stupid and/or evil, I have to take points off. Dumbledore, held up as a respected figure, continues to permit blatant favouritism both in Snape's treatment of students in Slytherin house, and the continual bullying of students in other houses, particularly Harry and his friends. Cornelius Fudge is an absolute incompetent, and the ministry in general is shown to be both corrupt and cowardly.
Harry is once again forced to return to an abusive household.

So it's a reread and I knew all this already, but that's what stops it getting five stars.
