basildestinyThoughts as I am rereading PoA. When I originally read this book, I read it through in a hurry to have it finished before GoF. I didn't get into the details. I don't even really know why. I just felt like PoA was trying to be ambiguous while giving all of these details which spelled it out for you so blatantly it took away the fun and I was glad to be finished with PoA. It was funnier and not nearly as much Dobby as CoS which is good in my book. But the dementors added a gloom that I wasn't comfortable with...I just really don't remember what it was about PoA that made it less enjoyable. But reading it now, I have observations I want to jot down:
I didn't understand why Fudge was being so nice to Harry. I fell for the idea that Harry was famous so maybe Fudge wanted to look out for him. It never occurred to me that Fudge was using Harry as bait. He set him up in the Leaky Cauldron to lure Black into contacting Harry. Were Black to make contact, Fudge would be the heroic Minister of Magic who recaptured the insane criminal. How very bureaucratic! I like it.
Had to stop reading for lunch, breaks, and to get back to work (got a call). More on my PoA observations when I further in. Can't wait for Dumbledore.
PUNKY! Update, I miss you. lol
