I went for this book cause I had been closely following the last 3 titles and found them facinating.
This book however shows J.KRowlings cunnings in the way that she has changed Harrys surroundings and behaviour according to harrys growing age. He is now a proper teen and has to keep up with studies girls and a lot more thats going on at hogwarts.
J.K Rowling has been more descriptive than ever before 650 pages I ask you?? whats that for???
But yeah even though there is large volumes of text in there I didnt find one bit that was not interesting or relevant.
I would not recommend this book to those who have not read the first 3 and also I would say this book is meant to be above 12 or 13 of age cause otherwise it would be hard to make head or tail of whats going on.
Now one thing I notice about this book is it makes me really remind the StarWars saga. I mean the Dark lord I ask you and his followers and there is Dumbledore playing master Yoda and harry is young skywalker. but maybe its a coincidence or maybe the plot has been inspired from there.
The books revolve greatly around vicinity so there is hard to see much unexpected things. Though Rowling tries her best to keep the enthusiasm to read her book high.
