Jan 30, 2018
It's no secret that I adore Harry Potter & his world tremendously. That made this book a bittersweet read for me, with the knowledge that this is the end of the character, or so JK says. This was a great story! I was hesitant to read it knowing it was a screenplay but, it was an easy read. It didn't take long for it to flow like a novel. This is another great story in the Harry Potter universe. If it is really the end then it is a perfect ending. If not, then I can't wait to see what's next!!

Literally Pokemon Go for wizards
I would like to start by announcing that I am a die hard Harry Potter fan, so I am going to have patience for this app whilst it's going through its early stages.
It's literally pokemon go. If you're happy with pokemon go and you aren't obsessed with Harry Potter then you don't need this app. Particularly as it takes up so much phone space.
However so far I have been pleased. I like that there is a mixture of challenges available at fortresses to take part in. The portkeys are an interesting addition. I still can't work out what to do with my seeds.
In conclusion I think this app has great potential but I don't think it's worth it if you don't have a really good phone.

Apr 29, 2019
I love fantasy and the Harry Potter feel but I thought the first one was better. I also felt the title should be different, grindelwald only committed one crime and was it REALLY a crime? (1 more)
The acting I thought was great. I love Johnny Depp.

Once again, I felt the final volume dragged at times. But it came together for a great climax that brought everything from the series together

In Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Harry Potter is now in his third year at Hogwarts. The atmosphere is tense. There is an escaped mass murderer on the loose, and the prison guards have been called to guard the school.
In the third book, we can immediately notice a much darker and dangerous atmosphere, compared to the previous book. During the series, the books do get gradually darker and darker, more and more mature, and I think this is the book where we start to notice this transition for the first time.
Harry Potter and his friends have grown up a little, and it clearly shows in their conversations and choices. I was happy to see all the things we learn in this book. The dementors and their deadly kiss, patronuses as well as magical creatures. We learn that Hippogriffs are proud and easily offended.
<b><i>And we also learn that Malfoy is still a little brat.</i></b>
The fact that little entitles Malfoy is so jealous of Harry that daddy puts him to play in the Quidditch team annoyed me so much. I just wanted to slap him!
<b><i>"Pity you can't attach an extra arm to yours, Malfoy," said Harry. "Then it could catch the Snitch for you."</i></b>
I got quite emotional when Harry is troubled by his parent's death and is grieving openly, probably for the first time. I believe him meeting more people that were friends with his parents helped him heal. It is such a good feeling to know Harry does have a family and things are starting to look a bit better for him.
<b><i>"You think the dead we have loved ever truly leave us? You think that we don't recall them more clearly than ever in times of great trouble?"
</i></b>
I didn't quite enjoy the time-travelling part through, I have to be honest. Even though the idea sounds nice, it always troubles me that it is never properly explained and very little attention is being given to it. I wish I read more about it, because then I would have loved it!
I enjoyed this book a lot! It is Harry Potter after all. But it isn't a favorite of mine. I loved how Harry finds out more about his past and gets a couple of more answers, but I also loved that new paths are opening and are waiting to be discovered in the next books.
