My 44th book finished in 2023.

I haven't read this book since I was a kid. I think I enjoyed the first book more - the plot to that one was more cohesive. This one had a few contrivances that we're a bit distracting. The film of this book is a lot more streamlined.

I absolutely loved Lockheart, but didn't like the Malfoys as the antagonists, and Dobby was really quite annoying.
