The 6th book authored by J.K. Rowling in this 7-book series is my 2nd favorite. Jeff & I both have read every book in sequence. The Sorcerer's Stone is my all time favorite, but this one definitely ranks second. This is my 1st review of a "children's book", though it certainly isn't limited to kids. As everyone is aware, the Harry Potter books are insanely popular and read by almost as many adults as children. This is a very lengthy book, but goes by very fast. In typical fashion, Rowling amazes us with her tales of excitement, bewilderment, fascination, danger, love, friendship, etc. There is a sad note to this particular book, someone dies & I certainly won't mention who. I would never want to be called a spoiler. Each chapter reads like an amusement park ride, closing always with a cliffhanger that smoothly leads into the subsequent chapter. Like all the Potter books, it's magical. If you haven't read these books, you should. You won't be disappointed. They're pure fun and enchanting. But I recommend you read them in order & read ALL of them. Of course, you can see the movies, but with all books turned into films, the book is always better & more detailed.
I give this a 5-star on a star scale of 1-5.
