Reading the series again after 25 years made me realise how much I didn't get the first time and how much was altered for the movies.
From all books I liked "The Order of the Phoenix" the least. Not sure why but I thought it quite chewy to read through. Not as gripping or thrilling as the others.
Nonetheless, I love the series. Guess, I will read them again in 20+years or so ;).
and I am really curious about #8 now.
This book is a departure from the rest. Things aren’t following the same school year cycle. Everything is upside down. They’re adults here with adult responsibilities. The guard rails are gone. Shit is serious. I dunno how she wrapped this up satisfyingly but she did.
