A good time. Is it weird I’m surprised this is a children’s book? Feels like the concepts are more interesting and complex than others, especially for the 60s? I’m impressed.

The prose aren’t my favourite, probably down to appealing to young readers, and prose are a huge factor in my enjoyment. But I ended up sticking with it and enjoyed it anyways. Certainly blows the first HP book out of the water by comparison. Trusts the reader much more; better prose better plot better characterization. I can see why it’s so popular. I hadn’t ever heard of it before as a kid and wish I had.

I’m reading the trilogy, so will continue you on. A nice bonus from reading the trilogy is when I review the individual books I can look through all editions and choose the picture I like the best
