Harry Potter Continued......
So I've finished 2 & 3, and I'm a little way into #4.
I enjoyed both 2 and 3, and was actually kind of scared at the end of #3, and stayed up too late to finish it. Which is always a sign of liking a book for me. You know, it's worth giving up sleep for. I think both of these books kind of followed a similiar story line. You knew who to be suspicious of, but not sure why. Then the bad guy didn't end up as bad, a couple twists, etc. But I think both are good stories. I have to say the element I really didn't like was Dobby. I think the whole concept is annoying and unpleasant. I guess that's the point, but I'm not thrilled to see house elves back in the story line in Goblet of Fire.
I have to say I'm having a hard time keeping my enthusiasm going for this book. I'm just not that interested, and as they keep adding more characters and layers it's not helping. My son has assured me that he really like #4, and he just finished reading it for the 4th or 5th time, so I'm trying to go on his word. I don't think I'll be able to finish these monster volumes in time for the new movie to come out in a week. So I might be re-thinking my plan.

I'm right there with you, just delving into Harry's world. I just finished #2 on the plane yesterday, and I'm really enjoying them so far.
oh no, you're definitely not the last to read these kam. so embarrassing, but i've never read any of them or even seen the movies. but, i like you're hearing your takes on them, before i decide to jump into reading all 7 :)
