I have to say, after waiting all this time for the complete series to be published and for all the movies to be released, I’m not quite sure I understand what the hype was all about. This is an okay book at best. The story is rather dull and slow paced, and I kept asking myself as I got toward the end, “Is this it? Really? That’s all?” Maybe it will develop into something more as the series progresses. I would hope so.
I plan to watch the movie next, and just zig zag between book and movie for each installment. I hope it gets better, otherwise, I would have to suspect that Rowling made some sort of pact with the devil to make these stories famous, because, so far, I’m just not seeing it.
What do you think?
