i think rowling did a great job of capturing the angst of a 15 year old boy and creating an atmosphere of anger, rage, bleakness and grimness but that isnt super enjoyable to read... like i looove how she writes quidditch, i love harry and sirius' interactions, harry and dumbledore and the fact that we are so deprived of that in this book makes it unable to compare to the others. i understand why she did it, but this feels like a transitional piece more than anything. i think Chamber of Secrets had that transitional vibe- nothing really happened in the end but i cared so much reading it. this book has kind of the opposite effect, so many significant things happened yet i did not get as much enjoyment nor rich imagery from it. idk! not saying it was bad tho, i loved harry being a classic boy and i cried my eyes out after what happened to sirius and the aftereffects. so so so so sad. it's starting to get very dark!
