Again, as lovely as ever. I can't even begin to say how many times I've re-read this book.

This second installment of Harry's journey offers so much more than the first book did (or fairly, could).

There are so many enjoyable scenes that add depth to characters here, where characters deal with their own emotions, where they make rash decisions that aren't logical at all, where the children really feel like they are children.

This is the book that really grabbed me into the series and it's one of my favorite ones to reread.
