Continuing my mission to read the Harry Potter series I moved onto year 3 and 4 respectively. Both were excellent. I’ve found the series to gradually get a better to me the as I move through the years.
It’s getting a bit more dark and interesting to me. I suppose this makes sense as the characters are a year older in each book and the originally targeted audience has been maturing as well too.
I especially enjoyed the Goblet of Fire. Especially towards the end when Voldemort is back and thinks are looking pretty bleak for Harry. I really had a hard time putting this down towards the end. I was stuck in that well just one more chapter trap that a good book can cause.
All in all the series has been living up to all the hype. I’ve found the ending to be much less predictable than the previous 2 years, and genuinely surprised in some cases.
Good stuff, now onto the Order of the Phoenix.
