Personally, I didn't really like this book. Many people say that it is their favorite book, but it just doesn't have enough action for me. I feel like the whole story is at the end, and the rest isn't very important. I love when books have important thing happening in them. Keep in mind this is just my opinion.
Yet, even though I didn't really like the book, I still loved the part when Hermione slaps Malfoy, and the fact that Hermione has a real role in this book.
Did you like this book? And, what is your favorite part? |
MarkEvans: I'm in TOTAL agreement with you. This is my least fav. book (well, next up from OotP which was not only disappointing but annoying!) but it was my daughter's favourite. So there you go , divided thoguhts even in the same household ..!!
I'm with you Mark when you say that nothing much happened until the Shrieking Shack scene. However, Jo always uses the 'Christie-esque, shock at the end' thing. You've all gottta agree though that nothing really happens in PoA until it's all explained at the end, yeah? Compare this to the world-changing-ness of PS, the thrills and chills, emotional ride of CoS and the WOW!-ness of every minute of GoF and PoA... well, just doesn't cut it does it????
Gotta say though, in comparision to the RELATIVE badness of OotP, PoA aint SOoooooooo bad! Don't get me started on my disappointment with the 5th please, for ALL our sakes!! Ok, just one comment, for such a big (really badly edited, what were they thinking?) book, the movie of OotP is gonna be REALLy short 'cause nothing bloody happens!!!
