My favorite HP book... If I hadn't caught the last half of the movie version I'd never have caught Harry fever. If you read the first book wondering what all the fuss was about and then found it lacking, and read the second book hoping it was better and got the laughfest of the Chamber of Secrets (and I have to say, I read HP Book 2 whenever I feel the need for a solid giggle, just because the language Rowling uses is so peculiarly and ticklingly funny and so very BRITISH--and everyone knows Bri ...more

This should be another quick read. Harry is in pursuit of/hiding from his bizarre and dangerous godfather, all while dealing with the horrors of being 13.

I will add that one thing that always caught my eye was the Sirius timeline.
