I have been trying to post this for several days, only to discover that blogger doesn't seem to support Lunascape anymore. This sucks because Lunascape runs so much faster on this computer.
I am late to the reading the Harry Potter series. I have always enjoyed the movies, but had trouble getting into the first book. Finally, I just forced my way through the first two books. I was happy to see this third book was a lot longer, and in this case, longer=better. I was so much happier with this book. I didn't feel like I was just reading a silly kid's book.
One disappointment in the HP series I have gotten over is Harry's personality. While the movies seem to portray him as a idealist, championing for the cause he believes in, the Harry of the books is an SP plain and simple. He is introverted, but he is not seriously reflective or "deep". I would not paint my hero this way, but I can only imagine this the type the author is, and she is stuck in S-land. Okay, so I am over it.
Don't know what I am talking about? Try the following links:
I won't go into plot details because you have likely viewed the movie already. I will just say this was my favorite of the books so far. It was much longer and more complex, and even though the characters themselves aren't...deep, they are interesting enough to keep the reader following along.
