Machete-ing my way through the jungle of Harry Potter books left behind by my mother, it’s number 2 in the series. This one was a notch down from the first one, I find. It was a bit longer, but failed to cover much new ground. Harry hates his foster family, he fears Hogwarts will be closed, everybody in the competing school house, Slytherin, is an idiot or a bad guy, yada yada.
Like the first book, this one is fully covered by the movie. There’s nothing here that wasn’t in the script, and vice-versa. Rent the movie, if you must, but avoid the book.
Nevertheless, there are five more Harry Potter books on the shelf in the living room that I have to read, lest I be disowned. I need a break, though, so Book Four of the year will be a bit more highbrow.
