The set design for Diagon Alley and the Weasley house was fabulous! How wonderful to see these places come to life outside of our imaginations! This stays true for nearly every aspect of om the greenhouse, to the moving staircases, the dorms and Dumbledore's office. However, with both Harry Potter movies, the visuals were spectacular, the acting well done, and the characters almost perfectly matched. As an avid reader, I am quite hesitant to see my beloved books displayed on screen only to have the directors do them no justice. Sure, some things were left out undoubtedly due to time constraints, but overall, it conveyed the story well. However, when I saw the first Harry Potter, I was terrified it was going to be "butchered" like most "books to movies" are but was pleasantly surprised by the relatively "stick to the book" script it displayed. I chose to read it to them so we could ALL enjoy it.and we did! Naturally, the kids were excited when the movie came out. Eventually, the truth of Peter's guilt and faked death and Sirius's innocence was found out, but when Lupin admits never took a potion that kept him from becoming a werewolf, a series of events spiral out of control, and only time-travel will save people from their fate.Having three daughters I have a choice when a great book comes out: buy three of them (EXPENSIVE!!), force someone to wait until the other is done before they can read the book (sure, I enjoy breaking up fights!), or read it to them.

Hagrid became the new Care of Magical Creatures Professor, but he's upset when Buckbeak was provoked by Draco into attacking him, and Buckbeak was sentenced to death. Harry begins the third year of education at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, where he meets Remus Lupin who agrees to teach him the way to defeat the Dementors placed at Hogwarts (who keep targeting Harry by accident), to keep it safe from Sirius.

Others claimed that the "Potter spell" was working well. The book was immediately acclaimed, for being "brilliant", the "best book yet" and "a charm". At that point in her life, she was happy and comfortable, no longer in financial worry and yet to face the immense tension and need of writing the later books that came with the popularity of the series. Rowling found writing the book better fun and far easier than any other book in the series, which she thinks shows.
