I got the 3rd book and read it the first night I got it...that was a 400
pager and I read it in about 5 hours. Hardcover ofcourse...which looks
is wierd because I have book 2 in Paperback.
The thing I really liked in the book is Harry's increasing prominence at
the school (he was a key figure in Gryffindor winning the Quidditch cup)
*** - side note - *** I'm haven't read the 4th book yet, but I'm hoping that
at the end of the series that Harry and Hermione become Head Students and
Ron becomes a Prefect. Again, I haven't read book 4, but I also hope
that in the last couple books, Ginny Weasely becomes less shy around Harry,
and that they begin to have a romantic relationship....I'm hoping that
they'll be 9 books...Harry at Hogwarts (Years 1 through 7), Harry visits
Ginny (Book 8), and Harry becomes Hogwarts the permanent Defense against
Dark Magic .... just some of my wishes *** - side - ***
The thing I didn't like about book 3 is no real role of "he who must not be
named" in here....I like how the Animagi are introduced....and the conflict
between Hermione's cat and Ron's Mouse and the aftermaths.
I also really wasn't impressed with how much of the story was left undone at
exam time...that meant a lot of the plot happened in the last couple days of
the school year....speaking of Animagi, what do you think of the
prospects of Harry Developing that side of him...we already see his gift of
the serpent-speak and also his ability to make something happen (explosions)
with just thinking about them....
Just some things to ponder, and I look forward in seeing what you guys will
add....just don't tell me too much of what happens in Book 4...
**** My current Inventory ****
Book 1 (Sorcerer's Stone) Hardcover
Book 2 (Chamber of Secrets) Paperback
History of Quidditch Paperback
Book 3 (Prisoner of Azkaban) Hardcover
I've seen the VHS video on JK Rowlings in a store but didn't really
think it was too impressive....

| (...) Go Buy Book 4 it is the best one. (heck each one gets better than the previous despite how good the first one is.) I am not going to give away anything but I will say that it is totally awesome. -Mike Petrucelli aka Lord Insanity (23 years ago, 30-Apr-01, to lugnet.harrypotter)
