Day 18: Least favorite book?
My list (from favourite to least) would be something like this:
1. Prisoner of Azkaban
2. Order of the Phoenix
3. Goblet of Fire
Sorcerer's Stone
Deathly Hallows
4. Half-Blood Prince
Chamber of Secrets
Which is to say: I know the order of 1-4 but all the ones under 4 and 3 tend to change around.

I've always found the Dutch version of the covers prettier than the original :)
I don't like CoS very much because I think it's the weakest of the lot. I do like the Tom Riddle stuff, and in retrospect I like the setting up of the diary, but in general the plot bores me and isn't that strong. I tend to really love JKR's finals, but the stand-off in the chamber is not very good, I think. So yeah, I still love the book of course, but just not that much.
And while I do like lots of things about HBP (like Ron/Hermione, Slughorn, Tom Riddle backstory), it has always felt like a filler to me, just setting up DH. When I think of the other books, I have a very clear image of them - the general feel of the book, a main plotline or mystery. And I just don't have that with HBP, it doesn't have that strong of an indiidual 'identity', if that makes sense.
Day 19: Do you prefer the books or films? What did I think about DH upon rereading it? ;)
I think we've been through this so I'm changing the question. I finished my DH reread so I want to talk about it!
( about Draco, Snape and camping )
Also, I just noticed how well that quote in the subject fits with how I feel about HP at the moment.♥
